I was sitting at home doing some homework as Yeonjun was looking at emails.

They added me to the school emails for the committee team, Yeonjun said.

How fun, I said. See anything juicy? As if only juicy thing is that the school had a invasion of ants last summer, he said. Boring, I said.

The door open I looked up to see appa coming home. Hey appa, Yeonjun said. Hey kids, he said walking in fast. What got you in a rush, I asked?

Well kids believe it or not I have someone coming over tonight, he said. For what work or so if so I can help clean, Yeonjun said. Thank you and no not work, he said.

Your father is dating again, he said. Me and Yeonjun we're stunned.

You are, I asked?

Yep he should be here in an hour, he said.

He, we both questioned!? Yes he is there a problem, he asked.

Obviously not it's just we never knew you swung that way, Yeonjun said.

Your saying it like how confused parents do, he whined. Now surely I thought y'all would understand, he said. I don't swing that way honestly, but he asked me out at work and I've worked with him for years he's a nice guy.

And plus wouldn't hurt to experiment, he said shyly. I'm quite nervous so I hope you two would understand.

We do appa we just didn't expect it from you but it be the ones you least expect, I said. Exactly take me for example, Yeonjun said.

Everyone expected it from you don't act like it was a big secret, I said. Your killing me yoongs, he said as he walked up to appa.

So tell me about this man I'll even help you get ready, he said as they went upstairs.

I can't believe my father's back to dating, I thought to myself. He's been decent in his own after mom left so I wonder what made him wanna date again.

I really hope this new guy will treat my father right.

I grabbed some grapes from the fridge and fit the rest of my homework done.

A few hours later father was cooking in the kitchen as me and Yeonjun sat in the couch after cleaning a bit.

That smells so good I wish we could have some, I whined. I always hear the saying a way to a mans heart is his stomach, he said.

Already after the heart huh, Yeonjun said. He then laughed as he threw a balled up wrapper at him. Be quiet, he said.

Sometimes you act like a child, Yeonjun said. Dude I'm still young, he said. Oh yes you are I forgot, Yeonjun said.

I vividly remember you walking me in stage with you for graduation, Yeonjun said. Yoongi in mom's tummy. It was a good day, Yeonjun said.

It was all good, he said quietly. Junnie are you alright, appa asked?

Yes I'll be good he choked. Awe kiddo come here, appa said pulling him in a hug. I know you miss her sometimes I do too, he said.

But we're gonna have to keep moving on it will be hard and won't happen at once but soon time will allow you to heal.

Yeonjun nodded his head as he wiped his face and walked to his room. I feel bad for the poor boy, appa said. I did as well.

It's hard to explain but I never had a close connection to my mother or knew her so when she left it just felt like a old friend moving away.

It hit Yeonjun harder though and actually had him really upset to not have two parents.

I'll save him some of this food to make him feel better, Appa said. But I can't, I said. He then rolled his eyes. Sure yoongs, he said sarcastically. Your thirty-two but act like a teenager, I said.
