CHAPTER 6 - CAN YUGGIE'S APPA BE MY BABA, TOO?

A new week had started and Jinyoung couldn't believe that it had been almost 3 months since the new school year started. It's that time of the school year where you send a performance letter to the students parents. He loved teacher his grade 4 class but he always seemed to look forward to his Korean language class after school with the little ones. He grew attached to them especially to the cutest of the bunch, Bambam. He admired Bambam's parents for his upbringing. This cute boy was matured for his age. He definitely doesn't think or talk like kids his age. Don't misunderstand he didn't regret how he brought up Yugyeom. Even though he did it alone, he brought his son the way his parents brought him up. He knew that his son is lovable but very mischievous at times. He never thought any boy could be better than his son until he met Bambam. Especially how he met the boy. And he was glad that his son became friends with Bambam.

"Appa!" Yugyeom called from his car seat in the back seat. "Appa!"

"Yes, baby?" Jinyoung asked while he turned to the corner near their condo building.

"You're not listening to me." Yugyeom whined.

Jinyoung smiled at how adorable his son was whenever he whined. "I am so sorry, baby.  Appa was just thinking....what were you saying by the way?"

Jinyoung slowed down to enter their condo underground parking when he heard his son ask, "Bambam lives in the same building as us, so why can't he come home with us after school?"

Jinyoung put the gear in P and un-buckled himself, "Well...that wasn't up to us, baby. Bambam's parents might like to pick him up after school. And I am sure Bambam likes it when his parents pick him up, too."

Jinyoung got out of the car and walked towards Yugyeom. He unbuckled his son's seat belt and grabbed both of their bags. They walked hand in hand towards the entrance to the elevator. As soon as they entered, "But his dad didn't pick him up today."

"Oh, really? and how did you know this?" Jinyoung asked Yugyeom.

"I was with Bammie when Miss Hyuna told him that his mom was there to pick him up." Yugyeom answered.

Jinyoung's eyebrows hitched up, "Did you meet his mom?"

Yugyeom shook his head, "Nope but she is pretty but scary not like his dad that always smiles and is so cool."

"Hmmm. Maybe she was just tired but Bambam is nice and friendly so that means his parents are nice too." Jinyoung explained.

"Maybe but I don't like her. I like his dad. You will like his dad, too, appa." Yugyeom said as soon as they came out of the elevator.

"Gyeom-ah, don't say that. She is your friend's mom...that's not nice to say, ok?" Jinyoung told his son. And Yugyeom mumbled, "I'm sorry, appa."

💚💚💚

"Baba!!! You're home!" Bambam ran to his father's arms as soon as he saw him enter their home.

"Jackson-ssi, let me fix your plate." Ms. Aera said.

"No need, Aera-ssi. It's half an hour past your time.  Thank you so much for picking up Bambam from school today. I will add overtime pay to your weekly salary." Jackson informed their housekeeper.

"Thank you, Jackson-ssi.  I don't mind picking him up. Just let me know if I will do it everyday so I can manage my time. I can prepare dinner earlier and I can pick up Bambam after." Ms. Aera said.

"That is good to know. I will be very busy at work so you will most likely pick up Bam from school until this project I'm working on finishes. Do you want me to drive you home after dinner?" Jackson asked.
