I Want You [HaruKyu FF]

Chapter 12

Haruto POV

"Appa! Teacher Hong gave me new violin scores to learn! It's Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker!" Ruto exclaimed excitedly through the video call.

"Yeah, and Aunty Lyn said she knows a full ballet routine for it!" Ruka shifted the phone towards her face. "She's going to teach me that, so I can dance while Ruto play the violin." She grinned, as excited as her brother.

"Yeah, and halmeoni said dad can play the piano version." Ruto took the phone back. "So, Ruka can dance while me playing the violin and dad playing the piano!"

"Guys, be careful with my phone." I heard Junkyu Hyung's voice from the back. "And besides, I'm not yet agree to it."

"Ahh Daaddd, come ooonnn." Now both of them whined in unison. I could see their eyes shooting towards the far back of the phone.

"Aunty Lyn going to be The Nutcracker, and I'm going to be Clara. Oh, Dad? Pleaasseee.." Ruka said this time. I could only laugh as I watched and heard the three of them went on it back and forth.

Today was my eighth day in New York. I was having breakfast, while they were having dinner. Our daily mandatory video call always happens when the kids are having their meals. 7AM my time and 8PM their time, and 6PM my time and 7AM their time. The second one usually quicker since they have to go to school while I still have some work to be finished.

Twice a day is not enough since I badly miss them. But those are the convenient times for all of us with the thirteen hours time difference.

"Haru, don't just laugh. Help me. Your kids, reallyyy.." Junkyu Hyung said.

"Then, what about you guys do it on Christmas? We can invite halmeoni, harabeoji, baba, ojiisan, obaasan, and aunt Soi." I suggested. The twins called my mother with baba while Soi's mother with obaasan since, well, they called my dad with ojiisan.

"Ojiisan, Obaasan, and Aunt Soi going to come to Korea??" Ruto asked.

"For Christmas, yes. You still have about nine months to practice."

"Yah, Honey, you didn't help." Junkyu Hyung took the phone and narrowed his eyes at me through the camera.

"Oh come on, it's just for one time only, Babe."

"Yeah, Dad, come on, just this time. It would be fun." Ruka pleaded.

Junkyu Hyung sighed in defeat. "The three of you ganged up on me, huh?" He scrunched up his face. "Fine. I'll do it." He huffed. "Now finish your food and wash the dirty dishes after. Then go upstairs and do your homework. I'm going to talk with your Appa." He said.

"Yes, Sir!" The twins said in unison, and I could imagine them doing a salute, which made me choke on my scrambled eggs.

I left my phone on the table, leaned it against a small table vase and went to the kitchen area to get some water. SeungJoo had booked a one bedroom apartment for me in Pine St, just walking distance to my office in Broadway St, while he stayed at his parents' place in Downtown Brooklyn. Unlike me and Lyn, SeungJoo grew up in New York, although he was born in Korea.

I came back to the table with a glass of water. I drank half of the water as I watched Junkyu Hyung's legs climbing up the stairs and into our bedroom. He closed the door and jumped onto the bed. And almost instantly, I felt like I wanted to go home and just laid down with him there.

"Haru, I miss you." He said as he hugged my pillow.

"Same, Babe. I also miss you, badly miss you." I replied, honestly. "How was your day? Anything fun happened?"

"Ah right, Juria's doctor said she should come to the hospital daily starting tomorrow to do ultrasounds to monitor her eggs. Then if one day her eggs are deemed as mature, she will receive another injection called human chorionic something, I forgot the last word. Then she's going to stay at the hospital after that injection, cause her doctor going to retrieve her eggs after 36 hours. She doesn't have to stay, but I thought it's better if she just stay there.." He said.
