"Huh?!"

Taeyong's mouth went ajar. Aside from the fact Jisung JUST assumed Jaehyun was HIS boyfriend – which is reasonable since it seemed like it and honestly, in the kid's eyes, driving their precious Taeyong home is such a lovey dovey thing to do unless they're  in an adult's perspective of the situation, they would find it a generous thing to do - how in heavens did Jisung learn that word 'boyfriend'? Taeyong swears if it's Chittaphon-

"Ah.. Boyfriend?" Unfortunately, Jaehyun heard as well and he couldn't help but let out a breathy chuckle.

"Is he? Because if he is, break up with him because you're mine!" Jisung snickered and tightened his hold around Taeyong's neck which albeit choked him a little. Chenle's shot Jisung a look of dismay. "Ours, Jisungie!"

Taeyong sighed. "No no, you got this all wrong." Taeyong tried setting the boy down but to no avail, he clung to him more as if he'll loose Taeyong forever if he lets go. Jaehyun found this adorable, if he can stay forever to watch this cute interaction, he would.

"Sir Jung and I aren't boyfriends, alright? He's just a colleague of mine. Nothing special between us." Taeyong shook his head and gently put Jisung down in which he successfully did. But the younger ended up leaching himself unto his leg. The male sighed.

Jaehyun touched his chest in a mocking manner. "Nothing special between us?" He repeated, in a fake sad tone.

Taeyong rolled his eyes to Jaehyun. "I said what I said. Besides, we just met. Right?"

Just met.
Those words bounced inside Jaehyun's head. Well, it's quite reasonable and logical. He wouldn't want to rush or be rushed anyways, and to think that boy named Jisung assumed they were together was quite adorable, or surprising. Can be both. Though, what is it like if they ended up together? He couldn't exactly picture it. A strong-minded man with an awkward excuse of a being such as him? No way.

Or is there a yes way?

Jaehyun vigorously shook his head to rid of that pesky inner thoughts. Chenle shot him a weird look.

"Ah. I forgot to introduce. Sir Jung, this is Chenle and Jisung." He made the two turn to Jaehyun. Jisung having this narrowed look and Chenle, a timid one.

"Nice... Meet...to.. You.." Chenle attempted to speak korean, his gaze fixed unto his fiddling fingers. He still wasn't confident with his korean and Taeyong is yet to give him lessons.

"You mean, nice to meet you?"

Chenle let out a soft gasp and faced up. The timidness no longer lingered in him. "Y-You speak chinese?"

"Yes. I do." Jaehyun chuckled and had his eye on Taeyong who looked bemused and impressed.

"That's so cool!" Chenle giggled and bounced, his hand steadily fisted on the jeans of Taeyong. "How long were you speaking Chinese?"

Jaehyun pressed his lip in thought and smiled. "I've been studying Chinese for four years. My uncle's wife  is Chinese, she would help me learn it."

"For four years? You're really good at it."

Both laughed with a perplexed Taeyong and Jisung in the background.

It has been an hour since Jaehyun had dropped off Taeyong back at his house. Albeit, it was a bit disappointing that he had to leave earlier than he thought, but on the bright side, he'll be seeing more of Chenle and the kids starting next week.

Especially that bank manager, Taeyong.

Jaehyun had finally parked infront in the tudor inspired house, getting down soon after. He figured his mother was already home by this hour seeing that the lights were on from the inside.
