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.
“Hey, hyung,” the deep voice says from the line of the call.
“What is it, Minho?”
“I have lots of works right now and they are due on tomorrow. I don’t think I could get Bomi from the daycare!”
“What? Why don’t you tell me sooner?”
“I’m sorry! But the documents just came to me and I don’t think I could go back home today!”
“Alright. Thanks for informing, Minho.”
“Yeah. You should go and pick Bomi up. It’s already half an hour late from the usual time and I’m sure Bomi misses you, Jonghyun hyung.”
“Okay, see you, Minho. Thanks.”
Jonghyun sighs, rubbing his temple while waiting for his computer to shut down. His baby girl is still in the daycare and Minho is too busy to pick her.
“I guess I’m going then.”
Jonghyun has never come to pick her daughter before. As the CEO and the leader figure of the company, Jonghyun feels like he is wasting most of his time in his office rather than at home. He wants to spend more time with his daughter but then the works are too much for him to handle and Jonghyun feels like he is going crazy soon.
He stops his car in front of this one daycare with colorful outer walls, looking around for a few seconds before honking his car to let them know that he is here. He hears the muffled voice of ‘Daddy’ from inside the car and Jonghyun grins. Oh, how he misses his cutie Bomi.
He quickly gets out from the car and scoops the girl running excitedly into his arms.
“Bomi, I’m so sorry, but Uncle Minho is having lots of works and he is so busy right now! Do you wait for so long? I’m really sorry, baby.”
“It’s okay, Daddy! Because you are here! I miss you so much!” Bomi cackles, throwing her arms open to emphasize the word ‘much’.
Jonghyun feels his heart swells in adoration towards his own daughter, “I miss you too, cutie pie. Should we get home now?”
“No, wait! I have to say goodbye first!” Bomi pouts and demands him to walks over to the gate.
With her famous high-pitched voice, Bomi shouts, “Good night, Teacher Bummie! I see you tomorrow!” complete with an excited hand waving.
Teacher Bummie? Jonghyun frowns at the childish nickname.
Then he sees one petite man turning around and waving to his daughter, and that’s when his world freezes. He sees one man; a beautiful one on top of that, standing by the door to the dark and empty classroom, waving to his daughter when their eyes are locked together.
Jonghyun feels this familiar feeling of the quick thumping of his heart when the teacher’s eyes run nowhere, not even brave enough to keep the eye contact with him. He grips tighter onto his daughter, mind blank for all of sudden. The CEO runs his gaze from those feline-like eyes, down to his button-like nose, and then his bow-shaped lips. Not to mention his dimpled smile.
It feels so familiar.
Yet it feels so foreign as well.
Kibum grips onto the fabric of his pants, feeling the sweat is starting to form on his skin of his palms. He doesn’t know what exactly is happening, but he feels his hands are trembling without any particular reason. There, stood the ideal man of his life, dressed in the black suit, with the loosened tie hanging around his neck, strong arms holding onto the cute little girl whom happens to be his favorite kid in the whole world.
He is taken aback when suddenly the man steps closer; slowly pushing the gate open, while bowing a bit at him.
“Hello? I’m guessing you are Bomi’s teacher?” The man questions and Kibum feels himself shivers.
Holy sunshine, his voice.
Nodding as an answer as Kibum doesn’t trust himself to speak, he tries to smile back and he bets it looks miserable. The man grins at him and takes more steps closer; the girl in his arms smiles happily at the thought of getting closer to her teacher again.
“Do you mind, Bomi? Daddy wants to greet your teacher first,”
Bomi shakes her head no and grins when her father steps closer to the frozen teacher by the doorway. Jonghyun stops, giving out his best smile to the frozen man before bowing again.
“I’m so sorry because you have to take care of my daughter until this late. My cousin is busy with his works and I just have gotten the time to come here now. I should have come from the very beginning as Bomi’s dad, but I guess this is my chance.”
Kibum shakes his head, smiling nervously while taking one step back.
“N-No, it’s fine... It’s nice to finally meet you, Sir. Bomi is such a smart and polite girl.”
“Why are you being so formal with me?” Jonghyun asks the teacher in front of him, all smiles while his mind is currently thinking, where does he see him before?
“Ah, I’m so sorry, but... Well...” Kibum mumbles embarrassedly while fiddling his fingers, the sign when he is nervous and shy. How can someone as handsome as Bomi’s father appears in front of him?
Jonghyun laughs to ease the awkward tension; he himself also doesn’t know why this is so awkward and tensing. He adjusts the way Bomi is slowly dozing while leaning on his shoulder, watching the little girl with so much love.
“Bomi is so tired already,” Kibum whispers softly as to not disturb the sleeping kid while his eyes are locked onto the child. Jonghyun hums in knowledge, caressing his daughter’s hair gently.
“I think it’s time for us to go home. Thank you so much for your care, Teacher...?”
“Teacher Kim. I’m Teacher Kim Kibum.”
Jonghyun’s lips curve up into a smile and he nods, bowing his head a bit before taking steps back.
“I’m Kim Jonghyun. Alright, Teacher Kim, we are going now. Thank you.”
Kibum bows while greeting the father and the daughter with a gentle ‘Good night’ before turning on his heels and enters the classroom with red face. God, he is so attractive.
“’Bum?” A gentle voice calls from the inside of the locker room. Kibum quickly locks the door to the classroom while secretly listening to the sound of the car driving away. He enters the locker room, smiling at the man sitting patiently on the bench.
“You are done?” The person asks and Kibum grins. He takes his bag from his locker and grabs onto the man’s hand, pulling him up from the bench.
“Let’s go home! I’m sleepy!” Kibum whines, hugging the man’s arm while jumping on the spot like a kid. The man laughs at his act, mumbling a soft ‘A kid taking care of other kids is an amazing thing’. Kibum glares at him, tightening his hold around the slightly taller man’s arm.
“Don’t think that I don’t hear your mumble, Lee Jinki.”
“Yes, yes, I’m sorry. Oh, our little Bummie is whining again!”
“I’m not!” Kibum lets out a protest while puffing his cheeks, looking away from the man—Jinki. He laughs, pinching onto Kibum’s nose playfully, earning a whine from him.
“Jinki hyung!”
“Stop pouting! I won’t give you my chicken later!”
“You won’t give me your chicken even when I’m not pouting!” Kibum argues in disbelief, eyes widening while he talks. Jinki grins amusedly, shrugging before laughing loudly, followed by Kibum.
“Hey, hyung,” Kibum calls while leaning his head on the taller man’s shoulder as they walk back home. Jinki hums to let him continue his words.
“Bomi said I’m pretty earlier. Am I really that pretty?” Kibum asks with widening eyes, staring up at the man beside him. Jinki grins, nodding his head in agreement. Kibum huffs.
“I don’t want to be called pretty though. Why do people keep on looking on my dimples?”
“Because your dimples are indeed cute, Bummie,” Jinki says while poking the said cheek with his free hand. Kibum swats his hand away, groaning in such an adorable way before managing a more comfortable position of his head on the man’s shoulder.
“Forget it. What do you want for dinner tonight, hyung?”
“Can we have chicken, Bum?”
Kibum scoffs, rolling his eyes.
“Should have seen that one coming.”
Jinki simply grins, tightening his hold around the petite male before making their way to the door of their house.
“Where’s your key, Bummie? Mine is in my bag, too lazy to take it out...”
“Lazy ass. In my pocket, take it yourself but don’t grab my ass, hyung.”
“Bummie, do you think I’m such a pervert?” The older male questions with a fake sob and Kibum sticks his tongue out at him. Kibum enters the house once Jinki unlocks the door, wincing tiredly. He yelps when suddenly a light hit is landed on his butt.
“Hyung! What was that for?”
“For being a naughty kid,” the older male grins teasingly. Kibum rolls his eyes before making his way to the couch.
“Hyung, sit here. I want to cuddle.”
“The cuddly kitty Bummie is back, eh?” Jinki asks before sauntering to the couch, wrapping his arms around the younger man. Kibum hums, snuggling close to the man’s neck.
“Stay like this for a while, hyung.”
“Okay.”
Jonghyun stops the car once they have arrived. He glances at the adorable sight of his sleeping daughter, warm feeling in his chest. He doesn’t want to wake her up but he has to.
“Bomi-ah, wake up, sweetie.”
Bomi scrunches her nose up annoyed, before blinking her eyes.
“Daddy?”
“We are home. Let’s get inside and you can sleep, okay?”
Bomi hums, yawning cutely before lifting her arms up, wanting to be lifted up. Jonghyun laughs at her, pecking her face with overly smooching sounds, pulling loud giggles from the little girl.
He chats with her on the way up to her room, listening to the way Bomi tells her day with sleepy voice. Jonghyun grins, nodding his head excitedly at the way his daughter is telling him this certain classmate of her. And when Bomi is laughing while clapping her hands, Jonghyun’s grin gets wider.
“Sleep well, okay?” Jonghyun whispers after they got rid of her uniform. Bomi smiles between her yawning, hands grabbing onto her dad’s face.
“I love you, Daddy,” Bomi whispers after pecking his cheek. Jonghyun grins and kisses her temple.
“I love you, too. Sleep tight, Princess.”
He closes the door behind his back, taking off tie before throwing it away once he enters his own room. Jonghyun sighs, wanting to spend more time with his daughter but his works are getting on his way.
He lays down on his bed, not bothering to take off his crumpled dress shirt. His mind goes back to the moment he meets Bomi’s teacher earlier. What is his name again?
...ah.
Teacher Kim.
Kim Kibum.
Where has he heard that name before? It sounds familiar, very, very familiar, Jonghyun knows that. He frowns, eyes closing in concentration but he can’t even find any clue. Jonghyun is known for his slow thinking and silly ideas; and Jonghyun knows that what people say is true.
He knows it. He has heard that name before. But where?
“Damn it, Jonghyun! I want Bummie to smile at me, too!”
***
“Jinki hyung, today Bomi’s father came,” Kibum mumbles sleepily against the older man’s upper arm. Jinki hums, patting his back.
“Oh? Just now?”
“Yeah,” Kibum nods before continuing with, “and I feel like he is so familiar. It feels like I have seen him before. But I don’t know where or when...”
“Are you sure? People sometime mistake someone as someone else, too, you know...”
“I’m really sure it is someone else. But the more I repeat his face and his name in my mind, I feel like I have known him from before...”
“Really? What’s his name then? Maybe I know him?”
“His name’s... Kim Jonghyun...”
It’s close. Kibum knows it. The string is just there and he just needs to force his brain to think a little bit more until finally he remembers that—
“Yes, Bummie! You should smile to him! Come on, do it!”
***
Both men snap their eyes open, as the memory hits them hardly, like it has just happened yesterday.
Jonghyun abruptly rises up from his bed, fingers pulling onto his messy locks.
Kibum gasps, jumping away from the couch.
With the same thought, they feel their heart is thundering so quick that it scares them, and:
