Parental Guidance | Minsung One-Shot ✓

- Parental Guidance -

Hey y'all. Here's just a one-shot that I wrote instead of finishing "Writing a Coloring Book" and the "Danger" rewrite and the AKTP prequel and sequel or starting that Seungjin crime fic I promised :)

Anyway, I suck at writing angst so I thought I would write angst <3 lowkey
It's happy though

And y'all know me, I'll probably end up writing more parts to this. Idk I kinda want to write a continuation just to see what happens. LMAO

Wait—I'm the author. I don't get to be curious to what happens next bc I'm the one writing it,,,

Summary:
Single father Han Jisung is called to his daughter's school regarding her behavior and grades. Always short on time, he decides to meet up with his daughter's teacher, Lee Minho. However, after a rebuttal between parent and child, Minho finds himself having to comfort a sobbing adult with need of guidance outside of his classroom.

"Hello? Is this Han Younghee's father?"

This wasn't out of the ordinary. Jisung would get a call from school from time to time. It was always the same "Hello? This is Han Younghee's teacher, I've called to discuss so-and-so..." At first, Jisung didn't mind it much. Every kid (especially younger ones) are bitter trouble-makers so a call or two from school was to be expected, as he often had in is childhood. However, as the days grew shorter and shorter, Jisung found less and less time to answer the calls. So he used Hyunjin's number as a backup emergency contact.

At first, it wasn't anything much. She would miss a few assignments, didn't like interacting with other kids. Maybe Jisung thought that Younghee was like him—introverted and careless, would get distracted at the first sight of anything other than work. First grade came and went, and it only grew worse. Of course, since Jisung couldn't find the time to answer them (and when he did, he would have forgotten about it) so Hyunjin was to inform him. Again, the missing assignments, the minimal interaction. But now, there was something more. The teacher would call to say that Younghee quietly stole her classmate's belongings, getting terrible grades, never turning in any assignment. But the phone calls weren't constant. There was always one at the beginning of the month, however, a 1-2 break period would soon follow where nothing seems to happen. And Jisung once thought that Younghee had reformed. But the phone calls would start up again.

And now, at the start of the second semester, second grade, there was a call every week.

Jisung once asked Changbin and Hyunjin about it, since the two roommates always looked after Younghee. And being roommates provided Jisung insurance, since there was always at least one of them at home, usually Hyunjin in the mornings and Changbin in the afternoon. But both Hyunjin and Changbin told him that there was something wrong with Younghee. There wasn't anything drastic, they said. She wasn't even a troublemaker at their place—a little surprising to see especially since she's Jisung's kid. Usually, she would sit at the couch instead, in the corner, beside Kkami and play on Changbin's phone or draw or do homework or watch whatever PG drama that played on the TV. And she did do her homework, Jisung concluded. She just refused to turn it in.

But there was something wrong. Hyunjin and Changbin made sure that Jisung knew. Younghee was a quiet kid. But there was something wrong.
