"Dongyul you have to promise me that you will be a good boy for me and mommy." I crouched down to his small body. He was looking in every direction but me. He was a little hyper this morning and was bouncing around. I gently directed his head to my face.
"I promise dad." He showed his eye smile. It was a characteristic that we both shared.
Dongyul dashed past me and went into the classroom door. The teacher was greeting each parent and student one by one.
"Well hello there and who is this?"
"My name is Kim Dongyul!" He shouted with excitement, his English accent came out in his Korean pronunciation.
"I'm Mrs. Hyun. I'm glad to have you apart of my class. I have a special gift for you at your seat. Go find your cubby in the classroom." Not even letting the teacher finished Dongyul went into the classroom with the other five-year-olds.
"Anything I need to know dad?"
"Dongyul is really hyper and is lactose intolerant. He knows not to eat and drink things with lactose but he will sneak it in any way."
She laughed and nodded. "I'll make sure to watch him during lunch and snack time."
Seeing Dongyul was near the door again, I spoke out to him.
"Bye Dongyul. Dad is leaving now, come give me a hug bye." His little legs ran over to me and he collided into my chest.
"Love you appa."
I kissed his cheek. "Love you and have an amazing day."

"Hwayoung blow appa a kiss." She turned around and blew several kisses.
"Now pose for the camera. Mommy wants to see the outfit you picked out." Hwayoung turned around in her orange and yellow overalls. This morning she decided that orange and yellow were 'her' colors and that she owns them. My wife claimed that was the Seokjin energy coming out of her. No complaints from me, if Hwayoung says she owns a color then she owns that color.
She posed with hands on her hips. Blowing kisses, and ticking out her tongue. She was truly having a good time. In a few minutes I had to leave for a BigHit meeting but I didn't want to miss my daily motto with Hwayoung.
