"Sunwoo, where are you?!" Jaehyun yelled as he tried his best not to panic, which wasn't that easy.

The tall male was getting frustrated, it felt like he was walking in circles. No sight of his son, just plenty of other people or children that didn't look familiar.

"Goddamn it!" he mumbled as he was close to ripping his hair out of his scalp.

It wasn't the smartest idea to go to the mall with Sunwoo, he gets excited easily and often gets distracted by the smallest things which is an adorable sight but definitely not helpful.

As a single parent, Jaehyun never had it easy. His wife left him alone with their son and never cared, he had a lot of work to do and it was a miracle that he was even able to see his son in his free time.

The only people that he had left were his parents and friends, his parents mostly take care of Sunwoo when he goes to  business trips while his friends help him whenever they have time and unfortunately, all of them had something to do, today.

Getting even more frustrated, Jaehyun walked up to numerous strangers and asked them if they saw his son.

"Excuse me, did you maybe see a seven year old with chubby cheeks and dimples?" Jaehyun asked hopefully but the couple shook their heads as they looked at him in pity.

The black haired male started to walk into any shop that he saw and was asking everyone if they saw his son.

The more he asked and walked around, the worse he had started to feel.

His hands slightly started to shake as he was close to crying his heart out.

You're the only person that I have left, where are you, Sunwoo?

Horrible thoughts started to go through his mind and it felt like he failed as a parent.

Having a child and being a single parent, changed a lot of things. He started to become a lot more insecure, didn't talk much to other's anymore, was scared of judgment by others but it did bring some good things, just a quick look at his son and everything started to get better. It was like, Sunwoo was his light in the darkness.

Jaehyun let out a shaky breath as he ran a hand through his hair, he almost let his tears fall down till someone tapped his shoulder.

Already exhausted and drained, Jaehyun turned around to look at the person who tapped his shoulder, just to be shocked at the sight of a beautiful male holding his child.

It was like someone took his breath away, the other male looked beautiful, lean shoulders, a bit smaller than him and he had the most attractive face he had ever seen.

Jaehyun, what are you thinking?! He put his thoughts away and started to speak up "Thank you so much!".

The black haired male took his child into his arm's as Sunwoo snuggled up to his dad's embrace. It was an endearing sight to the male who just helped Sunwoo to find his dad.

The smaller male started to smile "No need to thank me. I can't imagine how scary it was for you to suddenly loose him out of sight".

Something made Jaehyun's heart beat faster, it was either the males smile or what he just had said but it definitely wasn't a good thing.

Get yourself together! He's just a stranger! He said to himself as he thanked the smaller male for a second time.

As Jaehyun was ready to walk away, Sunwoo started speak "Cwan we swee hwyung awgain?".

This surprised the two males as they looked at the child in Jaehyun's arms. The taller male looked at the other male with an apologetic look since he was sorry that he was probably bothering him "Sunwoo, he probably has other things to do" he said as he tried his best to get himself out of the awkward situation.

"No, it's okay" the smaller male said and started to continue speaking "Sunwoo, you already scared your dad and I'm sure that he needs to calm down first".

That didn't make Sunwoo happy as he started to pout "Ownly fwor twoday!" the child started to plead as Jaehyun looked at the other male for a sign.

The smaller male nod as approval which made Jaehyun and Sunwoo smile "Oh, I didn't ask for your name, yet".

The other male looked up and started to introduce himself "I'm M/n and I'm really sorry if I'm bothering you, sir-".

Before M/n could finish, Jaehyun interrupted him "No, you aren't bothering me at all and do I look that old?".

The taller male said it jokingly but notheless it still made M/n panic "N-No, you don't look old at all!".

The smaller male started to blush which made Jaehyun smile at him "You didn't offend me, I said it as a joke and you can call me Jaehyun, Sir sounds a bit too formal"

That didn't do much since M/n started to blush even more than before.

Maybe this day wasn't that bad after all...
