╰► 03: nice to meet you

when ten and johnny enter the school, multiple eyes from the parents are on both of them.

"who is that guy next to mr. suh? he's so pretty."

"he? that's clearly a she— maybe it's his new girlfriend? if it is, then good on him. that yoomin girl is way too rude."

ten can't help but look down. it doesn't help that he's a bit shy but the attention is welcome. him and johnny settle on one of the benches in the waiting area. the shorter decides to put a bit of distance between them and scoots to the other side of the bench.

the thai male leans back, puffing his cheeks out. "so where are you from, ten?" he hears johnny ask him. "thailand, sir. bangkok, thailand." he answers, feeling very awkward. "ah, that must explain your accent. it's cute though." johnny smiles, brushing his hair back.

ten takes note about the bleach blonde hair and how soft it looks. it needs a retouch since his roots are showing, but he looks amazing nonetheless. ten can smell the musky, wood pheromones around him, and it's such a pleasant scent.

"how are the kids on your first day? not too much of a hassle?" he asks again, crossing his legs. ten shrugs. "the kids are okay. they're a bit of work, but i can manage." he answers. the older male hums.

korea rarely gets hot, but when it does, it's incredibly painful— but this is nothing new to ten. they both sit in silence, patiently waiting for the bell to ring. there's a light breeze, and it's quite refreshing.

"i'm glad to hear that. yangyang and hyuckie tend to have a hard time trying to get used to their previous nannies, even when they've just arrived." johnny says, his tone hinted with a bit of exasperation.

the bell finally rings and almost everyone in the waiting area are alerted, waiting for the kids to come out of school.

both johnny and ten spot the twins, running towards their dad with happy faces. "papa!" they both cheer, hugging his legs as he stood up. "hello cubs, how was school?" he kneels down and kisses then both on the tops of their heads.

"it was fun! milk helped me with english homework today!" donghyuck says in korean, walking over to ten. the nanny quickly wipes off the sweat dripping down his chubby face and turning him around, patting his back dry with a towel. "milk? you mean mark?" the younger twin happily smiles, nodding.

"renjun gave me some crackers at lunch today, papa! he said he had alot of them so he gave me some!" yangyang exclaims while johnny also wipes off all the sweat on his face and body.

ten takes in the kids' change of character. this morning, donghyuck was being snotty, but this time he's more giggly and hyper— same goes for yangyang who was quiet, yet snarky at home from what ten has observed and is very hyper and playful now.

"here are your snacks, kids." ten hands them both a grilled cheese sandwich that joy taught him how to make. "thank you, uncle ten." donghyuck says, sitting down next to him while happily munching on the sandwich. yangyang thanks him too, sitting next to donghyuck.

it clearly takes ten off guard. now the kids were thanking him? that's just weird at this point.

nonetheless, ten dismisses it and gives them a kind 'you're welcome' waiting for them to finish so they could all go home.

after the kids finished munching in their snacks, both kids hold ten's hands as they follow johnny to his car. the nanny ignores the stares that some of the parents are giving him, feeling very uncomfortable.

"hyuckie! do you want to watch cartoons with me when we get home?" yangyang asks as he settles in the backseat after being lifted by ten. the nanny does the same to donghyuck, strapping seatbelts on both of them.
