Ch-6: A Curious Soul

"Papa is very happy?" Seonghwa noticed you coming out of the room as a blushing mess.
"Yes, doctor said you're in very good health. Papa is happy to hear that you've been a good boy."
"Then why is Papa so pink?"

Wooyoung and San couldn't hold back their laughter when Seonghwa asked. Wooyoung placed his palm over his mouth and San wasn't sure if it was more hilarious or surprising because he couldn't realise what it meant.

"Why are we laughing Wooyoung?" he whispered to Wooyoung.
"You didn't get why he's pink?"
"No?"
"He was alone with Mingi in the room...."
"Oh..oH...OH" San widened his eyes.

Seonghwa not being able to hear what the adults were discussing sulked and crossed his arms around his chest.

"Cutie"
"I'm not a cutie!"
"Then what do you want to be?"
"I want to go to college like Papa!"
"Hwa you need to be a little older for that..."
"Seonghwa will wait and go to college!"
"And Papa will work hard to pay for them."
"College isn't free?"

You let out a hearty laugh. Seonghwa thought you went to College for free. When has anything been free in this world.

"Let's get to kindergarten first. Maybe you'll learn some English too."

Seonghwa nodded and held your hand signing that he was ready to cross the road. You crossed the road and headed to the metro station.

"Are we headed to uncle Woo's parents?"
"Hmm." you nodded your head.
"Do I get to meet them?" he jumped up.
"Not yet cutie. Today is only for adults to talk."
"I won't speak then!"

"Seonghwa, you can meet them after you're taller than me." you said not knowing how soon or far it would be.

He pouted and crossed his arms as he sat back on his seat. "Seonghwa is not a baby."

"For me you are." you cooed.

The conversation ended there. After reaching your stop you got down the metro with them. Seonghwa was walking holding your pinky in fear of getting lost.

Since it was a Saturday there were many couples walking, talking, kissing and doing other couple things. You wished that you could do these with Mingi someday. It wouldn't be your first time doing it but he was your first and you wanted to see how different it would be with your first crush.

You turned down to notice Seonghwa observing a young couple who were kissing. He gulped a looked around to see you looking at him. Startled from being caught he couldn't maintain eye contact and looked at his shoes like they were the most interesting thing in the world.

"You don't have to be shy around Papa. I was also like you a few years ago." I said placing my palm on her shoulder.

"How do spit conscious people kiss?"

"Huh?"

"How do spit conscious people kiss if they don't like sharing another person's saliva?" he asked turning at you with innocent eyes.

"Umm, papa hasn't met any spit conscious people yet. Maybe I'll ask if I meet one." you answered because the question was so unexpected. You wouldn't have thought about it.

You bought him a softie because he's Seonghwa. The kid probably had never tasted ice cream at all. Oh wait he was born yesterday, Every kid loves an ice-cream don't they.

"Here you go. It's really sweet." you offered him the softie.

"MMMH! This is so sweet and tasty!" he said as he gently licked the ice-cream. He noticed that it was kind of melting off the cone and licked the ice cream faster around the corners. Once he was done with the cream he had the waffle.
