Summary: Working in a daycare is such a bless for Kibum—taking care of kids—but then what makes it better is the fact that he finds his love there. Moreover, the father of his favorite child.
Being a teacher at one local daycare near his house is something that Kibum loves in his life. He loves children, and with the natural talent of taking care of kids since his mother is a nurse is some kind of a plus point in his job.
The daycare he is working at is the place to take care of the children after they all finished their study time in the school, waiting for their working parents to pick them up in the evening.
It’s on one fine day of his job with the children coming out from the school, entering the daycare just across the school building.
“Teacher Kim! Teacher Kim!” Someone calls and Kibum turns around, greeting the familiar little boy who has just passed through the gate.
“Oh, hi, Changsun! Just got out from school?”
“Yes! And I bring someone!”
Kibum’s eyes light up and he smiles at the sight of another kid hiding behind the boy, “Hello there. Why do you bring her here, Changsun-ah?”
“She is always waiting alone in the school! She is lonely! So I bring her here! Is it okay, Teacher Kim?”
Kibum nods and smiles. “Of course!”
It’s such a pity that her family is so busy with work and she is so lonely—
Oh my God.
She is so cute!
Kibum watches as Changsun pulls the girl from hiding behind him to his sight; she has this pair of beautiful-big-brown eyes and cute cheeks and her lips are so pinkish. Kibum holds himself back from squealing and smiles when the girl turns to look at him.
“Hello there. What’s your name, sweetheart?” Kibum asks softly while crouching down to meet her eyes. She avoids his stare and mumbles shyly, “Bomi…”
“Oh, Bomi, what a cute name! Now, Bomi, what about you come with me and Changsun and greet your new friends? Okay?”
Kibum holds his hand out, waiting for the little girl to hold it and she hesitantly grabs his hand, big eyes still locked onto him. Kibum grinned; she is so cute for God’s sake.
“How old are you, Bomi, dear?” Kibum asks while holding onto the other boy’s hand in his free one. Bomi smiles up at him and shows her fingers.
“Six? Oh, you are so smart!” Kibum coos with a wide smile. He loves this girl already. She giggles and tightens her hold on Kibum’s hand. He leads them to the room where most of the children are currently playing.
“My name is Kim Kibum and you can call me Teacher Kim. Or do you have something in your mind to call me with?” He tells the girl.
She blinks and hums, tapping her chubby fingers on her chin. Kibum grinned; why this kid is so cute, he is slowly losing his mind.
“Teacher Bummie?”
Kibum laughs at the cute nickname; it sure is his nickname for like eternity. “Yeah, sure, you can! Why, if I could ask you?”
“Because then our names are similar... Bummie and Bomi!”
“That’s right!” Kibum exclaims at her as they stop in front of one closed purple door. But then Kibum crouches down in front of her.
“Say, Bomi-ah, do you know your family’s phone number that I can contact? I have to call them and tell them that you are here with me so they don’t have to be worried.”
She nods her head and pulls a small pinky notebook from her bag. She flips onto a certain page and shows it to Kibum.
“Daddy said I have to write down the important phone numbers so I could call them if I got troubles!”
Kibum pats her head, “Such a smart girl! Now, let’s go inside and I will call your Dad, okay?”
He pushes open the door and when he is greeted with the sight of children playing around, his heart warms up. “Now, now, kids! We have a new friend!”
The children stop playing and they grin at the sight of the new cute girl. They all wave at her and Kibum chuckles when Bomi tightens her hold around his hand. He squeezes her hand back, comforting her.
“Her name is Bomi and I hope you can be good friends to her! No fighting, okay? Promise me?”
“Yes, Teacher Kim!” They all shout in agreement. Kibum nods proudly and then turns to the little girl beside him. Changsun has gone to play with the puzzles in the corner of the room, completely forgetting that he is the one who has brought the girl here.
“You can go play now, Bomi. Be good, okay?”
She scrunches up her nose cutely and shakes her head no. Kibum blinks questioningly at her. “Why? What’s wrong?”
“Can’t you stay with me, Teacher Bummie?”
Kibum smiles. “You want me to stay with you?” He asks while holding onto both of her hands. She nods and Kibum doesn’t have heart to say no to her. Not when she is this cute.
“Alright. But let me call you family first. Okay?”
“Yes!” Bomi nods her head.
Kibum walks to the office, with one arm propping the girl against on his left hip. He stares at the handwriting of the girl: Daddy—010-xxx-xxx
The boring tone of the call greets his ear and after a few moments, someone answers the call.
“Yes? Who is this?”
“Ah, good afternoon, Sir. Is this Bomi’s father?”
“Yeah? Who are you? Something happened with Bomi?” The man from the other line asks worriedly.
Kibum quickly stops him from worrying by answering, “No. I’m Teacher Kim from the Rainbow Daycare. The place is just right across the school, Sir. I just want to tell you that one of Bomi’s friend—Changsun—brings Bomi here and since I heard that Bomi usually waits by herself, I suggest that she stays here with us from now on. It’s dangerous to let her stay alone in the empty school.”
The man sighs in relief and hums hesitantly, “I see. Alright, thank you. Please take care of my child. We will talk about this later when I have time.”
“Yes, Sir. Have a nice day and thank you.”
With that, Kibum hangs up the call and smiles to the girl in his arm. “I’m done. What do you want to do now?” He asks while walking back to the play room.
She grins happily and takes her red bag, pulling out her drawing book. “Can we draw, Teacher Bummie?”
“Sure!”
Who knows that this girl will be the one bringing the pure happiness into his life?
Kibum swears this girl is the most active kid in the whole world. She is jumping and running and laughing and blabbering and Kibum claims on defeat. Not that she is annoying but he feels like she is so happy that someone is paying attention to her.
It’s finally the time of parents picking up their children. Kibum bows to the parents who are thanking him and the other teachers for taking care of their child. In no minutes, most children are gone with their parents and Kibum looks back into his classroom.
“Bomi?”
The said girl lifts her head up from her drawing book and she smiles. Kibum gets closer to her and sits beside her. “What time will your Mommy come to get you?”
She shakes her head no before saying, “I don’t have a Mommy, Teacher Bummie.”
Kibum felt his heart sinks down. “Excuse me?”
“Daddy said, Mommy and Daddy didn’t love each other anymore a year after I was born so they are not together anymore now. Is that even possible, Teacher Bummie? Can people stop loving each other?”
Kibum is left speechless. Uh, what should he say to her?
“It’s... something possible sometimes. When we love someone, we don’t know whether that person will be the one we will spend out life with or just someone who is unreachable for us...”
Bomi hums, not really understand why her teacher sounds sad at that but then she crawls up onto his lap and cradles his face in her little palms. Kibum is taken aback at her sudden act. “Don’t be sad, Teacher Bummie!”
“I’m not sad, sweetheart,” Kibum murmurs before nuzzling his nose against her palms. Her laugh is resonating in the empty classroom and they both giggle together afterwards.
The familiar car stops in front of the daycare and Bomi squeals in delight.
“Yay!”
Kibum looks through the window and sees that one blue car, hearing the car lets out a soft honking sound. “Is that your family, Bomi?”
The girl nods and quickly crawls away from him, pushing her books and crayons into her back messily. Kibum chuckles at her and decides to help her with her packing. “Should we go outside?”
“Um!” She nods in excitement.
He holds onto her hand while holding her bag in his free hand. It’s time for the girl to go back home, even though Kibum feels like missing her already. The door of the car is opened and one certain man steps out.
Kibum readies himself to smile to the girl’s family member, but then his smile drops at the sight of this familiar man.
“Kibum?” The voice that Kibum knows the most calls, the surprise in the tone is clearly heard.
“...m-minho?”
“So... is Bomi your daughter?” Kibum asks, fingers fiddling nervously with his sweater.
Minho chuckles and shakes his head, “No. I’m her uncle. Her father is my cousin.”
Kibum breathes out in relief. He doesn’t know why he does that though. “I see...”
Both of them stay silent; their eyes are locked onto the happy girl playing on swing all by herself.
“Say, Kibum,”
“Mm?” Kibum hums questioningly, internally thanking him for breaking the awkward silence between them. The tall man sitting beside him grins before glancing to him, “How long was it already?”
Kibum smiles at the memory and nods to himself, “Five years...?”
“Yeah. I haven’t heard from you for that long.”
“You know... You studied abroad after we finished high school,” Kibum whispers with a smile. Minho sighs and hums, “And you are only staying here?”
“Yeah...”
“...how are you then?” Minho asks hesitantly. Kibum looks at him and shrugs with a smile, “Just like what you see right now.”
Minho chuckles and nods his head. “Good. By the way, Kibum-ah,”
“Yes?”
“You are... not angry with me?” The taller man questions carefully, watching the expression of Kibum’s face.
Kibum blinks. “Why should I?”
“I mean... you have the right.”
“No, I don’t, Minho. Don’t worry about it,” Kibum says in reassurance. The taller man furrows his eyebrows, “You sure?”
“Yeah, I am. It’s not your fault that we broke up after high school and... you do know we didn’t really have that feeling towards each other, right?”
Minho blinks at his words before laughing, “Yeah. And you are still that blunt kid, I see!”
“And you are still this laughing kid, I see!” Kibum teases back sarcastically before laughing together with him. They laugh for a few good minutes before a content smile decorating their face.
“We are friends now, right, Kibum?”
“Of course! Why are you asking, silly?” Kibum asks back while playfully punching the taller man’s upper arm.
Minho pretends to wince before shrugging, “Just asking. Well... I think it’s time to go home. Bomi is tired already. I think it’s a good idea to put her into a daycare since she doesn’t really have that much friends. And I can put her in your care because I believe in you.”
“Yeah, you have to. I love her already even though this is only her first day,” Kibum laughs fondly while standing up from the bench.
“Bomi-ah, let’s go home!”
“Yesh, Uncle!”
“So... see you again, Kibum?”
“Yeah, see you again, Minho-yah.”
A few weeks pass and Kibum knows that this girl is a miracle. Well, she is so lively and she is also smart. Kibum loves her. Really, really loves her.
She grows closer to the children in the daycare; playing together and Kibum almost forgets the shy face she has on the first day before. Not to mention that she grows as the closest kid to Kibum from all of them. He can’t blame it; she is just so adorable and with the fact that Bomi likes their similar name, she just can’t leave him alone even for a second.
It is that another usual day when Kibum is waiting for Minho to come and get Bomi from the daycare. But then Minho is nowhere to be found. He grows worried since Minho always comes on time, but today seems different.
“Where’s your Uncle, Bomi-ah?”
Bomi shakes her head as the answer and Kibum sighs. Don’t say that that tall kid forgets... The girl on his lap turns around and smiles. Kibum tilts his head questioningly while returning her smile. “What is it, Bomi?”
“You know, Teacher Bummie...”
“Yeah?”
“Teacher Bummie is so pretty!” Bomi exclaims with clapping her hands together and Kibum feels his cheeks blush. Aigoo, kids nowadays.
“What makes you say that, Bomi?” He asks while gently tickling her sides. Bomi wriggles happily and smiles so wide that Kibum wants to squeeze her. “Your smile is so pretty!”
Bomi lifts her chubby fingers up, touching the side of Kibum’s cheek. “Dimples!”
Kibum hums and giggles, rubbing his nose against the girl’s. “You also have dimples, Bomi! Then you are pretty, too!”
Bomi laughs, gripping onto Kibum’s sweater before burying her face on it.
“And Teacher Bummie is so warm... Your warmth is like Daddy’s...”
Kibum stops laughing at the words and smiles, hugging her close with a hum leaving his mouth. “I see. What else?”
“I don’t know... But I love Teacher Bummie!” Bomi says with a loud voice, resulting Kibum into a laughing mess. “I see! I love you, too, Bomi. You don’t even know how much I really do.”
“Really?” Bomi asks him with this big-round shining eyes and Kibum giggles at the adorable sight. “Really!”
“Yay! Teacher Bummie loves me! I’m going to tell Daddy later!”
Kibum grins and caresses her soft black hair gently, looking out to the street to see the familiar blue car. Where is Minho—
One black sleek car honks softly and stops behind the wall beside the gate. Bomi looks around and smiles. “Ah! He’s coming!”
“Who is it, Bomi?”
“It’s Daddy! Daddy!” Bomi exclaims in happiness, jumping down from Kibum’s lap and running towards the gate. Kibum smiles, as he is unable to stop her from running and just lets her to do so. It is night already and she must be missing her dad a lot.
“Bomi, I’m so sorry, but Uncle Minho is having lots of works!” The voice says apologetically and Kibum stays inside, trying to look at the person behind the wall. But then Bomi looks like so happy to meet her Daddy that she forgets about Kibum. He shrugs with a smile and decides to get back into the classroom; only to halt on his tracks when suddenly he hears the high-pitched voice.
“Good night, Teacher Bummie! I see you tomorrow!”
Kibum turns around and hums, about to wave to the girl before the smile drops from his face. The man who is holding onto Bomi is no other than his ideal man.
