Chapter 22

"You know," Yerim began.

It was recess yet again, and they were gathered in the library, reading their nonfiction books. 

"What?" Juhyeok asked.

"We've never had a playdate, just the three of us."

"Really?" Jinsong asked, half of his sandwich in his mouth.

"Yep."

"Do you want to have one?" Juhyeok questioned.

"Of course! What about this weekend on Sunday?"

"Can't; got hockey," Jinsong replied.

"Then maybe Friday? Ooo! What if we do a sleepover?"

Juhyeok stopped sipping his juice.

"A sleepover? At your place?"

"Why not? Jinsong is my cousin and you're practically family at our place; I'm sure my mom or dad won't mind."

"Okay... I'll ask my dad after school."

"A sleepover?" Taehyun questioned once he picked Juhyeok up.

His son nodded.

"Yeah. Yerim said it'll be from Friday to Saturday."

"Hmm... that may be a good idea. I'm going out with Soobin that evening and neither Beomgyu or Kai are available so—"

"Wait wait wait!"

Juhyeok had to make sure he was hearing this correctly.

"You're going out with Soobin?" 

"Umm... yeah."

Taehyun's ears were red.

"Is something happening between you two?" Juhyeok questioned.

"Why are you suddenly talking like a teenager?!"

"Blame Yerim; she watches many movies with teenagers and talks like them too."

Taehyun sighed.

"Well, since Soobin had birthday earlier this week, I thought it'd be nice to go do something with him somewhere. So the two of us are gonna go out, but Soobin is choosing where."

"How romantic."

"You know what, you're definitely going to that sleepover."

Juhyeok laughed.

"Okay Dad, you do you."

"But remember your manners, especially since you're spending the night with a girl—"

"Dad, I'm a kid! And Jinsong will be there too!"

"Okay okay, fine. But watch out for your head!"

"YEAH YEAH!!"

+x+

Soobin and Taehyun drove Juhyeok to Yerim's place, dropping him off at the doorstep.

Taehyun reminded his son to brush his teeth before bed and to remain nice, to which Juhyeok nearly caused an argument.

"I always do that!" he whined.

"Okay then."

"Have fun," Soobin wished him.

"I will!"

"And be careful with your head!"

"Yes Dad!"

Juhyeok waved the two of them goodbye, before ringing the doorbell. It opened to reveal Yerim already dressed in comfy pajamas.
