"Saafeyah, his uniform looks fine, let him go with his teacher."

"I know but... Taehyun, one last hug?"

Taehyun hugged his mother for the millionth time mouthing at his father for help. And Woojin was trying to help but Saafeyah was really struggling to let him go.

She had fixed his uniform so many times. They had taken a million pictures and she was still worried. What if the kids were mean or snobby towards him?

She could've even think about it.

She was just so worried about his first day.

"Okay babe, no more hugs," Woojin told her gently already seeing her wipe her eyes. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder hoping to bring her some comfort. "Taehyun you remember everything daddy said right?"

"I do," he nodded giving hugging his dad's legs. "Can u go now? I can see Lulu and Miguel from over here..."

"Yeah son, go on. Before your mom starts again."
...

"Babe stop crying," Woojin soothed the poor woman. Saafeyah was clinging to him just in tears.

She was inconsolable and it was breaking his heart.

"Nothing will happen Saafeyah," he tried again wiping her tears. "He will be okay. He can take care of himself - Taehyun is a tough cookie."

"I know, I know," she sniffled. "I just hope no one is mean to him."

"They wouldn't dare," he assured. "Because then they'd need to handle me."

Little did Woojin know, he be tested just a few hours later.
...

"What is going on?"

Woojin was irritate.

He was in a meeting when Saafeyah called him panicking about Taehyun having an incident in school. On his very first day as well... he could choke someone out.

And Sungwoo already knew that this was going to be bad so he ran behind his boss.

"Taehyun-ah, what's wrong? Did someone hurt you," he asked immediately checking his son over. "What is this on your hair?"

He saw on his mother's lap feeling completely overwhelmed. Saafeyah herself didn't know what to say with both parents of the other young boy glaring at her.

Plus, Taehyun wouldn't tell them what happened so, the current narrative was him as the agressor. But Saafeyah would never believe that.
