Chapter Seven

Can You Babysit My Heart?

 

“Let me borrow Yoogeun.”

“No.”

“Hyung!”

“No, Taemin. You’re not borrowing my son,” Minho said, shaking his head. Really, what was the kid thinking? There was no way in hell Minho would allow Taemin to take his son to school. “Find someone else’s kid to show off.”

Taemin whined, “Hyung! I need him for my family educations class. We have to demonstrate how to take care of a child!”

Minho looked over at the teenager, “Why can’t you use a fake doll like everyone else?”

The teenager picked up Yoogeun and held him up to Minho, “This is the cutest baby in the world and my future son, I want to show him off.”

The older male rolled his eyes. Taemin had been saying that a lot lately. He said he’d marry Minho and Yoogeun would be theirs. He kept telling Minho all the things he could do for him being a younger man then Minho. Minho found it both hilarious and awfully intriguing – awfully being the key word.

“Taemin,” Minho took Taemin’s face in his hands, “… No.”

“Yah!”

Yoogeun giggled and clung to Taemin as he looked at the two. Taemin smiled and motioned to the kid, “He wants to go.”

Minho sighed and shook his head, “What are you going to do for the rest of the day? Walk Yoogeun to biology?”

“I take physics and yes! I want to show him off,” Taemin grinned as he nuzzled Yoogeun’s cheek with his nose, making the boy giggle even more, “Please hyung…”

Minho stared into Taemin’s eyes and instantly regretted it. He smiled and shook his head, “Fine, but I’m bringing him and taking him home after your project.”

“YAY! I can show off my fiancé to my classmates,” Taemin grinned as he spun in a circle making Yoogeun laugh even more.

Minho ground, “Please tell me you don’t call me that.”

“Oh, yeah, I do. If anyone asks, you proposed after a night of rough ,” Taemin grinned evilly.

“Taemin!”

“I’m kidding!”

 

Minho arrived at Taemin’s school with Yoogeun in his arms. The lady at reception instantly fell in love with not only Yoogeun, but also Minho. He smiled and made his way through the hallways. He kept getting stopped by female teachers and the occasional female student. Minho couldn’t help but grin. He still had it.

He knocked on the door of Taemin’s class room and walked in when he was let in. Taemin stood up and walked over to Minho and Yoogeun, “Yuri Seonsaengnim, my project is here.”

“Alright, Taemin,” she sighed. She looked up at Minho and instantly started fixing her hair, “So this is your neighbor and his son… I see no ring.”

The teenager glared at the teacher, “He’s engaged.”

“No, I’m not,” Minho insisted. He glared at Taemin who glared back. He sighed and handed Yoogeun over to Taemin, “Hurry up. I have to get to work.”

Taemin nodded his head, taking Yoogeun into his arms, then walking over to the front of the classroom. Minho leaned against the wall next to the door and Yuri moved to stand close to him. He had no problem with woman, just clingy women. He smiled softly at her before watching Taemin.

Minho had no idea what Taemin’s project was about and he was barely listening. He just watched how careful Taemin was with Yoogeun and how adorably shy Yoogeun acted with all the eyes on him. Minho couldn’t help but smile as the class cooed at Yoogeun.

After about five minutes, Taemin finished his project and everyone stood up, wanting to meet Yoogeun – even the male students found him adorable.

“Wah, he looks so pretty. I wish he was a girl,” a male student said.

“Aigoo, I want to kiss him,” a female student sighed.

Yoogeun giggled and buried his face into Taemin’s stomach, blushing brightly at all the attention he was getting. Taemin looked over at Minho and smiled brightly. Minho couldn’t help, but smile back.

“Alright, Mr. Choi and Yoogeun have things to do,” Yuri said, touching Minho’s arm and smiling up at him, “You know, I’m free on the weekends.”

“Weekends involve music recordings, I’m sorry,” he smiled apologetically. Taemin walked over and glared at his teacher before pulling Minho outside. He passed over Yoogeun and pouted. Minho smiled at the teenager, “Yah, what is with the long face? Everyone loved your presentation.”

Taemin nodded his head and shifted his arms awkwardly, “The reason I wanted Yoogeun is because I knew you’d come too. Did you even listen to what I said though?”

Minho blushed at that. He really hadn’t been listening at all. He was a bit busy staring at Taemin with Yoogeun, “S-sort of.”

The teenager sighed and nodded his head, “I have to get back to class. I’ll see you after school, hyung.”

“Tae,” Minho tried, but the boy already walked into the classroom. He sighed and looked at Yoogeun, “Don’t become like him, alright?”

Yoogeun nodded, though, he really had no idea what Minho was talking about. “Let’s get you to school.”

 

Minho glanced at the clock nervously. It was almost 8pm and he still hadn’t picked up Yoogeun. He started getting nervous. Jinki and Sandeul said they’d watch Yoogeun for as long as Minho needed, but the thought of being late really bothered Minho.

“Minho.”

The named male glanced up and gulped as he stared at Soo Man’s cold eyes, “Yes, sir?”

“I asked you a question,” the old man said, glaring at the manager.

“A-ah, yes,” Minho stood up and bowed slightly, “Key and Jonghyun’s album shooting went well and the pictures have reached the internet and they’ve been receiving high praise. There is some backlash relaying from the older generations about the two’s relationship, but they are well liked by the teenagers and twenty to thirty range. They will be shooting the music video this week and the song teasers will be released by tomorrow. Everything is on schedule.”

The old man nodded his head, “I took a gamble with your idea for their collaboration, but it seems like you’ve done a good job. You may sit.”

Minho smiled triumphantly as he sat down. He glanced over at one of the managers who thought the idea was absurd. He looked back at Soo Man as he spoke again, “Korea is slowing evolving. Much of our traditions customs have changed. I was skeptical, but our main goal is to make money. Kibum’s and Jonghyun’s name ‘JongKey’ was the most searched topic for two weeks. With this collaboration, it shall be number one again. Everyone may leave. Minho, please stay.”

The male nodded and glanced at his watch. He bit his lip. He should have called Taemin after all to pick Yoogeun like he offered. Damnit.

“Minho, you seem distracted,” Soo Man said as he stared at the younger male, “Does this have to do with your leave of absence from before?”

“Sort of,” Minho replied, twiddling his fingers, “My ex-girlfriend was killed in a car accident and left her son in the hands of her mother. The child turned out to be mine, so I’m watching him for a month until her sister can take him.”

Soo Man nodded his head and stood up. He walked around the table and looked at Minho, “I have three children of my own and I still keep my mind on my work. I need you at the top of your game, Minho. I offered you a job as a favor to your father who has been a good friend of mine. You’re my hardest worker, hence why I gave you Kibum as a client. Don’t screw this up.”

Minho nodded his head. He expected the older man to say something like this. He looked at Soo Man and gave him a determined look, “Thank you, sir.”

“Of course. I need you to go over the pictures from Kibum’s and Jonghyun’s photo shoot and the arrangements to be recorded before tomorrow,” Soo Man said as he walked to the door, “That isn’t a problem?”

“No,” Minho said quickly. He bowed as Soo Man before quickly grabbing his phone. He dialed Taemin’s number and waited, “Taemin, thank God. I need you to pick up Yoogeun.”

“Huh? Oh, um, sure. Don’t worry, hyung. You can trust me,” the teenager said.

Minho sighed in relief, “I know, that is why I called you. Thank you Taemin.”

“Mm, don’t tire yourself out hyung. I’ll have coffee waiting for you,” Taemin replied before hanging up. Minho smiled and gathered his things before heading out of the conference room to go to his office.

 

 

The older man finally arrived home sometime after eleven. He was exhausted and he swore Soo Man was trying to make a point. Get rid of the kid soon. He knew that Soo Man ignored his children. That had always been a rumor that Soo Man’s kids and wife hated him.

He got rid of the thought as he walked through the door. He figured Taemin put Yoogeun to bed and left since he had school in the morning. He set his coat and bag down before going to the kitchen. As promised, there was still warm coffee for Minho. He sighed and made himself a cup, taking a sip.

His head turned when he heard a noise. He turned to see Yoogeun, rubbing his eyes. He smiled and set his coffee down before picking the little boy up, “What are you doing up?”

“I-I wanted to see appa,” the boy yawned as he snuggled into Minho. The older male felt his heart swell. The boy barely knew him, but he already loved Minho. It made him happy.

“I’m home,” he replied softly, seeing as how Yoogeun fell asleep already. He made his way to Yoogeun’s room and laid the boy down, covering him with the blanket. He kissed the child’s head before leaving the room. He went to his own room and pulled off his tie, throwing it on the small chair in his room. He ed his shirt and pulled off his belt.

“Hyung?”

Minho jumped when he heard the sound this time. He turned to see Taemin, laying on his bed, obviously tired, “Taemin, what are you still doing here?”

Taemin pushed himself off the bed, rubbing his forehead with his hand, “I didn’t want to leave Yoogeun alone… and I wanted to see you.”

“You should be home. You have school tomorrow,” Minho sighed.

The teenager smiled lazily, “I have clothes. I told my umma that I was going to watch Yoogeun for you and she agreed as long as I left straight for school from your house. We’ve know each other for years, hyung. Relax.”

“And you’re in my bed, why?” Minho questioned, irritated.

Taemin tilted his head, a slight smirk on his lips, “What a stupid question, hyung? Come to bed.” He said as he patted the spot next to him.

If Minho hadn’t been so exhausted, he would have argued more, but the word ‘bed’ was all Minho wanted. He sighed and pointed a finger at the boy, “No touching.”

The teenager giggled and laid back down, turning his side, his back to Minho. The older male sighed and quickly changed his clothes before getting into bed. He thought Taemin went to sleep, but the boy turned and rested his head on Minho’s chest, “Just one night like this, hyung…”

Minho sighed once more. He was too tired. He wrapped an arm around the boy and closed his eyes. Taemin felt warm, Minho mused to himse.f It was better than the lonely cold he was used to. As he drifted off to sleep, he couldn’t help but think about how much warmer his house seemed since Yoogeun came along. He liked it.

Author’s Note

I had a lot of complaints that I was ending this earlier then I originally had planned. The main reason was inspiration, but since so many people complained… I’ll keep it going as long as possible.

But I’m just gonna say to all those who didn’t believe I could finish this fic in two chapters… oh, I can wrap a story in two chapters. I’ve done it. I have done it. =w=
