"Not againnnnnn!"

Minhyun glanced up from setting the table for dinner, watching as the child ran over to your side grumbling. You shot Minhyun a confused expression before looking down at your son. "What's wrong, Daehwi?"

"Daehwi got the best gift ever!" the other child who entered the living room behind him announced, puffing up her cheeks in annoyance. She walked over to Minhyun's side and shot him a disgruntled look. "Don't you think this is unfair, Daddy?"

"I'm in Minhyun's class, again!" Daehwi announced to everyone and you moved over to the table, placing down the serving dish before turning to your son.

"You had so much fun being taught by Minhyun before," you pointed out as you gestured for your son to take a seat at the table and Daehwi slumped down into his chair, nodding his head dramatically.

"That was when I was a kid. I'm eight now, Mum!"

"And I'm nine but I wouldn't complain if my Dad got to teach me. He never has! You're so lucky, Daehwi!" Sohyun spat back and Minhyun groaned, resting his face within the palm of his hand. Looking through his fingers, he noticed the small smile playing on your lips.

Daehwi continued, ignoring the serving of pasta you had just placed on his plate. "More like unlucky!"

"Hey, I happen to be present in this room, you know," Minhyun finally piped up but Daehwi's hard gaze was unrelenting. He sighed at the boy. "What's so bad about being back in my class? I'm a good teacher!"

"Yeah, but you're dating my Mum now. All the kids will tease me as soon as they find out! Don't you think that's wrong? Why are you teaching my age group anyway? Can't you go back to teaching the babies? I liked you better then."

"Gee, thanks for that."

You hissed at your son before shooting Minhyun a placating smile. "No one needs to know who your teacher is with, Daehwi."

"Everyone probably already does, he has a photo of us all on his desk," the child retorted glumly which made Minhyun clear his throat awkwardly.

Admittedly, he hadn't expected this either. He had only found out the finalised school teaching roster earlier in the day, with Daehwi's sudden addition to his class. However, he hadn't been as dismissive about the idea as Daehwi. Dating you had been the best thing that had happened to Minhyun aside from the birth of his daughter Sohyun. He had never expected to feel as fulfilled as a human ever again. You were definitely his better half, and Minhyun was incredibly fond of Daehwi as well. Although you had only just started living together over the summer when you got engaged, he considered Daehwi just as much his own child as Sohyun. He would do anything for his needs and supported him easily. In Minhyun's eyes, Daehwi was rambunctious compared to Sohyun, yet he loved the boy far too much already.

So it hurt that Daehwi was so against him being his teacher again.

Of course, Minhyun did understand. He was at an age where peer pressure and socialising started to make more of an impact on a youngster's daily life. Daehwi only wanted to fit in. Being the teacher's child – related or not – could have a negative impact on how they treated him.
