After Dark (Prompts)

One Night - 6

A/N: Thanks for the well-wishes everyone! Nothing to worry about. I just really have a lot of allergies and this season normally triggers it. I enjoy all the comments as well. Thank you for the votes and the notes left on each chapter, in my inbox or even on Twitter. I love them so much!

Mature scenes here. Same warnings apply as in previous chapters.

I was hoping to post this tomorrow but since SYJ updated, I felt like posting this, too! ❤️

"Jin-heon, I'll be the one to pick up Ji-ho tomorrow."

Hyun Jin-heon looked at his older brother. "You sure? You don't want me to accompany you?"

"My wife will be there as well. I don't think Ji-ho needs three adults there with him?" Ji-Sung said.

"Fine," Jin-heon said, frowning. He then recalled his talk with Ji-ho. "But I promised Ji-ho I'll pick him up all week. I don't like breaking my promises."

"He has something to ask Teacher, too," Ji-ho piped up from the living room where he was colouring his book.

Ji-Sung turned to his son. "What was that?"

"Uncle. He needs to ask if Teacher has friends who are boys," Ji-ho replied.

Jin-heon covered his face with his hands. "I asked last Friday, remember?"

"Oh, right," Ji-ho said, but the damage has been done. His father's curiosity was piqued.

In a low voice that only Jin-heon could hear, Ji-Sung asked, "Are you hitting on Ji-ho's teacher now?"

"No," Jin-heon replied, defensively. Not again... yet, he thought. Grammar going out the window at the thought of Im Soo-ah.

The following day, Jin-heon prepared Ji-ho's lunch box and had a specific compartment where he included a note. "What does this say? Practice your reading."

"For Teacher Soo-ah, from Uncle Jin-heon," Ji-ho read aloud.

"Good job!"

"Hey! I bought these candies, too!" Ji-ho commented while he inspected the bag Jin-heon set asides specifically for Soo-ah.

"Alright, you can write your name there!" Jin-heon said, watching as his nephew affixed his name under his. Well, under and over his penmanship. "I have to say, your writing is a lot better than mine when I was your age."

Hyun Ji-ho beamed up at him, making Jin-heon forget that he was still smarting over the young boy stealing his thunder with the Teacher.

They were one of the first ones to arrive, which meant there was not a lot of time to chat because Im Soo-ah was busy escorting kids inside. Also, she wasn't the one incharge of the gates so she was somewhere inside and Hyun Jin-heon only could get out a small wave before they were ushered to move so that the next kid could go in.

School went on as expected. The children had story time that day which everyone enjoyed before they went on to their formal lessons. During break time, Ji-ho headed to the Teacher's table and handed the bag from his Uncle.

"Uncle told me not to forget," Hyun Ji-ho said, smiling. "He picked all the strawberry candies at the store."

"Oh, that's very kind. Thank you, Hyun Ji-ho," Im Soo-ah said.

"You're welcome, Teacher. But can you please tell Uncle Jin-heon to share the strawberry ones with me, too? He said it's all for you!" Hyun Ji-ho complained.

Im Soo-ah chuckled. "Alright. I will talk to him. Everyone should share, after all. I'll give you some of these later after class."

Hyun Ji-ho smiled. "Thank you, Teacher!"
