Naeun's POV,
The day had finally come to send Yongrae to my parents' place. Before heading out, I had promised Taemin I'd call him first—a small agreement we made to avoid him showing up unannounced to see Yongrae before the drop-off. As Yongrae and I sat down for breakfast, I dialed Taemin's number, putting the call on speaker so we could both hear him.
"The call's on speaker, Taemin. Yongrae and I are having breakfast now," I informed him, glancing at Yongrae who was happily munching on his cereal.
Taemin's cheerful voice filled the room. "Hey, buddy! How's breakfast?" he asked with that warmth that always made Yongrae's eyes light up.
"Good!" Yongrae responded with a big grin.
Taemin chuckled on the other end. "If your mom doesn't pick you up later, you can always call me, okay? I'll come get you right away."
Yongrae giggled at the suggestion. Taemin added, "And don't forget to write my number down in your book, just in case."
Without missing a beat, Yongrae proudly replied, "I already did." I shot him a surprised glance, slightly worried. He turned to me, curiosity filling his eyes. "Mom, why can't Daddy Taemin come? You said he's busy. Is that true?"
I held the phone closer, hoping Taemin would play along. His voice softened, "Yeah, buddy. I'm really sorry, but I have to work. I promise I'll come see you later though, okay?"
Yongrae's face lit up with hope. "Promise?"
I immediately felt a wave of concern wash over me. "Taemin, please," I whispered, not wanting him to make any promises that could complicate things.
But Taemin didn't waver. His voice came through, steady and sincere. "It's alright, Naeun. I promise, Yongrae. I'll come when your mom picks you up later. Or better yet, I'll pick you up myself, okay?"
Yongrae's excitement bubbled over, while I let out a soft sigh, realizing this might turn into something more complicated than I had planned.
After breakfast, I cleared the plates and carried them to the sink, letting Taemin and Yongrae continue their chat. As I returned to the table, I overheard them excitedly planning a trip together, their voices full of joy and anticipation.
Smiling to myself, I leaned in and teased, "Hey, you two, don't make too many plans without me!" My playful tone drew giggles from Yongrae, and even Taemin chuckled from the other end.
Yongrae laughed, and Taemin added, "Of course not, Naeun. It should always be the three of us."
His words caught me off guard, stirring something deep inside, but I brushed it off, not wanting to open that door just yet. The playful banter between them continued until I glanced at the time and realized we were running late.
