The Beauty in You [Discontinued]

Prologue

Chanyeol looked on sadly as his classmates were met by their moms and dads at the end of the day. Where was his mommy?

Chanyeol pouted up at his teacher as he tugged at her shirt sleeve,"Mrs. Wong?"

"What's wrong honey?" she asks softly as she looks down at the 5 year old with her usual kind smile. Her hair in a messy yet sophisticated pleat and dark hazelnut eyes, large as always. Mrs. Wong's appearance reminded Chanyeol of his mother which made him happy and more comfortable with the adult.

"Whe' my Omma? I wan' go home an pway wif Tobi," he whimpers, his large innocent brown eyes watering over.

"Aw honey don't cry; she'll be here soon. She's just running a little late today okay? I've already spoken to her on the phone!" Mrs. Wong smiles as she gently ruffles his already messy hair.

"Why don't you try playing in the sandbox hm? You usually enjoy that~" she smiles softly, "And I'll call you over the second your eomma arrives!" she puts out her pinkie in promise.

He links it and nods slowly. She helps him take off his backpack before he goes to play. Chanyeol kept his back turned to his teacher and his other classmate, not wanting them to see him cry as he lazily played in the sand.

He was always the last one to leave... Maybe his eomma didn't want him anymore...

"Omma no wuv Chan'oel no more," he cried to himself, his crocodile tears darkening the sand.

After a small while of thick silence plaguing the classroom, a small voice suddenly breaks it:

"Can I hewp?"

The small boy wipes his eyes with his sleeve before looking over his shoulder and seeing an even smaller boy. He looks back at the pitiful castle he made before nodding, keeping his eyes down. The smaller of the pair waddles his way into the sand and plops down in front of the taller happily, grabbing some sand in his arms and starting to try to sculpt a castle with it as his tounge stuck out in concentration.

Chanyeol watches in awe. "How do dat?" he asks cutely, pointing to the other boy's castle.

The other looked up at him with large eyes before crawling over beside him. "Like 'is!" he shows him, doing it slowly so Yeol can see.

He watched the smaller's movements closely and mimicked them. "Like dis?" he asks hopefully, showing his classmate.

"You alamo's' thewe!" his classmate claps happily. "Now a' the door!" he smiles as he shows him how.

Chanyeol mimics the movements, both boys clapping.

"I di' it! Tan' 'ou fwen!" He hugs the small child happily upon instinct.

The child tensed a little at the sudden impact before smiling and hugging back just as tightly. "My name Bae'hun!" he  introduced himself.

"Chan'oel!' the other answers happily pulling away.

"Boys~"

The two turned around at the sound of their teacher's voice.

"Want to draw?" she asks holding up a thing of chalk.
