After Dark (Prompts)

Bonus Chapter - All Together

(Repost)

A/N: Chapter to close out this series because everyone has been so kind. I saw this comment on Twitter and thought that it would be a good idea to include the characters from One Night to complete this book.

I won't be closing this book yet as I'm thinking of add the Lee Chung x Yeo Wol crossover here. I am still working on it and this is done with all due respect to those who are already writing something about them. I still need sometime though and if all goes well, I might be able to post it by next week. Please also check out High Seas written by seojuuung !

"Are we sure about this?"

Lee Hoon stared at the papers in his hand. No, unfortunately it was not an ultrasound of Joo In-ah's belly. It was something he never thought he would ever see.

It was a letter accepting his young son to kindergarten. This shouldn't be too surprising because he and In-ah had noticed that their little boy quickly picked up information and was already reading early. Upon the urging of their friends and consultation with doctors, they tried to enter him in informal schools but he did well on them, too, and was recommended for formal schooling.

They were hesitant, of course, not wanting to pressure their young man. They had always said that they just want to raise a happy little boy and they worried going to school early might cause unnecessary stress.

"But he's so smart!" Baek Jang-mi noted. "He might get bored with us soon! Enroll him in school so he'd still like us."

Min Tae Gu laughed at his wife antics. "Is that why we send Aera to school, Darling?"

"No. It's so that I can have you all to myself," Jang-mi replied, cuddling up to her husband. She kissed him gently before hitting his chest. "Now, stop distracting me from talking to them about my little Tae Pyung!"

Yes, Hoon and In-ah's little boy was named Lee Tae Pyung. It was that or Lee Hoon Bin that Jang-mi suggested and Min Tae Gu begged them to pick at least one of the favorite actor's names.

"I let Aera sing a song that made her cry and Jang-mi slept in her room that night. My wife is pissed off and if I don't have good news she might divorce me! Please!"

Of course, Min Tae Gu and Baek Jang-mi divorcing was never going to happen so it was easy to brush off the request. However, In-ah really liked the actor's real name and Tae Gu's request was born out of his unconditional love for his wife and daughter. For In-ah, it was a good reason to agree.

Hoon and In-ah brought Tae Pyung to the kindergarten all the other children attended for an assessment.

"The teacher is very nice! All the children went through her class and they love her so much," Ha Chae Yoon said.

"Yes, Auntie! Teacher Soo-ah has strawberry candies for us sometimes," Im Soo-hyun shared. "You'll like Teacher! She's the best!" Soo-hyun added to tell Tae Pyung.

"Isn't school scary, Hyung?" Lee Tae Pyung asked.

"At first," Soo-hyun said. "But it gets better."

Joo In-ah's heart melted at the exchange. One thing their little boys shared was that they had the softest hearts and In-ah was so thankful Soo-hyun took Tae Pyung under his wing. Buddies for life, just like Aera and Su-jin. Watching them grow up together was one of her life's great blessings.

"Eomma, can we fetch Tae Pyung from school sometimes?" Soo-hyun asked Ha Chae Yoon, who immediately agreed.

"We have to schedule it with Uncle Hoon and Auntie In-ah but it should be okay," Ha Chae Yoon said after throwing a questioning glance to Joo In-ah.
