"Appa!"

Seojung shouts the moment he saw Jeongguk.

"My baby!"

Jeongguk shouts as well, opening his arms to meet his kid halfway for a big hug.

Those people who don't know them, would surely think that they've been separated from each other for a week or month now, some may think years because of how tight they are holding on to each other, but actually it's only 4 hours.

Jeongguk go out to find Job today, so he left Seojung to his roommate, to play in this playground--just until he gets back.

And good for him they're still here...

"Have you been good?" Jeongguk asked while carrying his 3 year old on his arms, "hmm?"

The kid wraps his small arms around his neck, and nods.

"You didn't tire Gia-noona, right?"

The kid nods again at that, mumbling a small "ye," before turning to the playground to point at the spot where a lady is sitting beside the slide.

It's Gia-Noona...

"I let aunty sit so she won't get tired." Seojung informed proudly,

But Gia-noona... Well she... She kinda..

She looks... tired... Jeongguk thought, but still he smiled and waved at the lady--who on the other hand stays there and waits for them to approach her.

"Seojung-ah," Jeongguk called, "The sun is about to set anyways... So Let's take her home?" He then suggested enthusiastically, making the little Seojung nods again, smiling so big before stretching his arms wide to shout,

"Home!!!"

Jeongguk giggled at that, shaking his head fondly as he watch his son.

Seojung is learning a lot of cute antics now a days, he's really growing up so fast.

"So let's go?"

"Let's go!" They exclaimed in unison, but before they could move forward, a figure of someone of the same height as Jeongguk blocked their way,

Standing proudly on his suit and ties, looking like he had just got out of his office work, the guy smiled at them.

"Jimin is right, you're here... long time no see Jeongguk-ah..."

For a moment, Jeongguk froze on his spot, wide eyed looking at the all too familiar face as the last sentence replayed on his head.

Long time no see, indeed!

"T-Taehyung-hyung..." He stuttered, too shocked to utter more intellectual words.

So Taehyung smile again, flashing his boxy smile that makes him look less intimidating than how he is a minute ago.

"I'm sorry for going here without notice, but... Can we talk for a while, Jeongguk-ah?"

Jeongguk doesn't want to, he actually wants to run away now!

Why is Taehyung suddenly appearing here?

What does he want?

And why now?
