🎒 First day 🎒

"But Chaechae, I don't wanna go to school." A small voice echoed from behind him.

Chaehyun didn't have to be anywhere until 12, his schedule had been extremely packed lately but he finally had some time free to do whatever he wanted. His younger cousin Yuri was starting school and her mum had to be in work early, leaving the small girl in the care of her grandmother. Chaehyun had decided he could take her to school since he wasn't busy, which his gran was thankful for.

She was seated in her pink and purple car seat, staring at her elder with big brown eyes. Chaehyun glanced at her through the rear view mirror and smiled softly.

"Bub, you're not gonna be there for long. You're gonna paint a lot of pretty pictures and make new friends! Doesn't that sound fun?"

She shook her head. "What if the people don't like me? Just like dada don't like me."

Chaehyun's heart completely shattered. Her dad left when she was two for another woman - Yuri's mothers best friend to be exact. Yuri had an 8 year old brother who had been doing his absolute best to help his mother, Chaehyun's grandparents also were very involved which meant so was Chaehyun. Well, he tried to be. He couldn't be around as often due to his schedules but his aunt appreciated the support.

"Yuri, your dada was a mean man but that doesn't mean he doesn't like you. Besides, I like you and I'm the coolest person in your life!" He glanced at her and smiled.

She shook her head. "No, Johnny!"

Ah, yes. She seemed to have changed biases from Taeyong to Johnny after a face time call that involved Johnny bribing her with candy. Chaehyun was salty - he still is - but he won't admit it.

"Johnny is a meanie though, he bullies me!"

"I don't care."

Chaehyun scowled as he pulled up in an empty parking space. He checked the time on his phone to find that he had 3 minutes to get inside. Unbuckling his seatbelt, he slid out of the car and swiftly jogged to the back. He pulled open the door and began undoing her seatbelt, not noticing the glossy eyes.

He grabbed her school backpack - that was in the shape of an owl and threw it over his shoulder. He then lifted her out of the car and placed her down on the ground. She immediately began clinging to his leg. Chaehyun closed the door and looked down to see tears now rolling down her cheeks.

Gasping, he knelt down in front of her and cupped her small cheeks. His thumbs swiped across her face and his mouth lifted into a pout. He hated seeing her cry. She leaned forward and buried her head into his shoulder, her tiny hands wrapped around his arm whilst soft whimpers fell from her lips.

Chaehyun held the back of her head tenderly and pressed numerous kisses to the side of her cheek. A few parents passed him with pitiful looks others gave him a glance that said 'same'. He sighed and pulled away.

"Bub you're only gonna be here for two hours then Nana will come pick you up. You're gonna play with paints and make some new friends and then you can go home to Nana and Grandy and Hanra! You love playing with Hanra's makeup!"

"I want you," she cried.

Chaehyun nodded. "How about this, we dry your tears and go in there like big big grown ups and show them little kids how grown up you are! And then if you still want to see me later, I can get Nana to drop you off to see me later. Deal?"

Suddenly, the frown flipped up into a smile. Thankfully, her tears stopped. Chaehyun wiped her face and gave her a long hug before standing up. She grabbed onto his hand. The pair walked like 'big adults' into the nursery where they immediately was greeted by a young woman dressed in yellow with a flower in her hair. If kind was a person then she would be it. She just looked so gentle.

"Hi sweetheart! It's lovely to see you! My name is Miss Han. Do you have a name or am I just going to have to call you precious to match your little face?" Even Chaehyun felt comforted.

Yuri looked up at Chaehyun with a bright smile before sticking out her free hand. "I'm big girl, I'm Yuri!"

"It's lovely to meet you, Yuri and you sure are a big girl for walking in here so confidently!" Miss Han looked up at Chaehyun and immediately blushed when she met his eye. Chaehyun held back the cocky smirk.

"Uh I'm Chaehyun, Yuri's cousin. She had a little hiccup outside but she seems fine now, if she starts crying again just remind her that she gets to come see me at work later and it'll cheer her right up," Chaehyun explained with a soft smile. "My Nana will be picking her up, her name is Val."

A/n; Can't remember if I gave Chaehyun's nan a name and I am not scrolling through 199 chapters to find out, so from now on she's called Val and her husband is called Jun.

The young woman nodded her head and narrowed her eyes. "I apologise if this is inappropriate, but have I seen you before?"

"You might have seen me on TV, I'm an idol."

The woman nodded her head with a smile. Chaehyun looked down at Yuri who was staring at the group of kids playing over in the corner. He nudged her gently.

"Are you going to be okay if I leave you here with Miss Han?" She seemed reluctant, but nodded. Chaehyun kneeled down before her and held both of her smaller hands in his. "Go make friends, remember bub you're the coolest little bean in here but don't let it get to your head. Be friendly, be kind and behave. Can I a-"

He didn't even need to ask since she already flung her arms around him. She kissed his cheek before pulling away. Miss Han held out her hand for Yuri to take. The smaller girl looked at her cousin, who nodded assuringly, before timidly taking the woman's hand.

"She's in safe hands. I promise."

Chaehyun nodded and handed the bag over to Miss Han, who smiled at it.

"Have fun Yuri, I love you."

"I love you, Chaechae," she responded in a small voice as she waved to the elder boy.

Chaehyun blew her a kiss before turning to head out of the door. He had a smile on his face the entire time. Sliding into his car, he let out a sigh.

"Yo I'd be an awesome dad."

We're sure you would Chae. We're sure you would.

Chaehyun + Kids = my favourite concept. I literally remember my first day of nursery, I'm like super attached to my mum even now, so I literally cried every time I had to go to nursery because I had to be away from her.

Thank you so much for reading, this wasn't proofread but I hope you enjoyed anyway.

You are appreciated 💚
