Chapter Text
5 months later Sunghoon decided that it was probably a good idea to finally register Sunoo in kindergarten.
Sunghoon always thought that Sunoo would scream and cry his heart out when he would drop him off for his first day of school. He never thought he would be the one crying in his car after seeing his baby boy making friends and not turn back to bid a goodbye to him.
Of course Sunoo was quite anxious this morning but everything felt a lot of easier when he saw Jungwon so he didn't cry or ask for his dad to take him back home. He stayed very close to his friend and even held hands together.
He wasn't scared to be separated from his dad for the day but he couldn't bear the idea to be separated from Jungwon.
-" Come on Ddeonu I will show you my friends ! "
Jungwon ran through the playground only to meet few other boys and girls playing with sand. Sunoo recognized Jeongwoo and Jeongwoo recognized Sunoo.
But few kids spared him weird glances.
-" Guys ! This is Sunoo and he's our new friends ! "
Sunoo waved shyly at them but the other kids ignored him and only talked to Jungwon. This wasn't what he was prepared for. He build his friendship with Jake, Jungwon and Jeongwoo easily so why these kids wasn't happy to see someone they could possibly befriend with ?
Sunoo withdrew his hands from the grip of Jungwon's one and left him. He didn't like those kids and wanted to see if the other were like them. So he walked in the playground until he spotted a young but tall boy sitting alone on one of the two swings.
He ran happily to sit next to him. The tall kid looked at him and smiled shyly to Sunoo which make his smile grew bigger.
-" Why are you alone ? "
This was the first question that came into Sunoo's mind and he wasn't shy to ask the boy directly.
-" Because I miss my sister "
Sunoo nodded, he also miss Riki but only a little because he was happy to be here and because Riki probably didn't miss him since he was a small baby.
-" I have a little brother and his name is Riki but we call him Ni-Ki because it's cuter. "
-" My sister's name is Minjoo. "
Sunoo nodded and started to swing his legs to make the swing go on. The tall kid beside him was just observing him.
-" I'm Minhee. "
-" And me I'm Sunoo "
The bright smile and the bubbly energy emanating from Sunoo made the tall kid smile and laugh. He was slowly forgetting how much he missed his sister few minutes ago and began to play on the swings along with Sunoo.
Little did they know that our small Wonie was watching them and wasn't happy at all to see his bestfriend with that crybaby named Kang Minhee.
It's not that Jungwon hated him It's just that Minhee was annoying because he was always alone waiting for lunch to meet his sister and brother again since they mostly spend lunch with kids who already were in elementary school.
But he was also super annoying because he get to play with Sunoo the whole morning.
Soon the teacher which Sunoo already saw at the hospital after he fainted at Jungwon's place, called them in order to make them enter in the classroom.
To say the least, Yoshinori was quite surprised to see Sunoo as a student in his class but he was really to see that he was in a better condition than when he first and last saw him. He was also reassured when he saw him entering with Minhee, this kid wasn't so great for socializing with people and seeing him with Sunoo made him think that he'll not be alone and left out anymore by the other kids.
He told the kids to sit down and started his class by singing a kid song all together before doing a paint activity. Sunoo stayed by Minhee's side while Jungwon attempted to approach him by saying random things.
-" Ddeonu let's draw Jake hyung. "
-" Not right now Wonie I want to draw Riki and Minhee. "
-" And me ? "
-" Not right now "
Anger was slowly building inside of Jungwon and he won't hesitate soon to let it all out.
He went to his seat and scribbled his sheet with red paint. It was a mess but he needed to calm down and spreading red paint all over his paper helped him to cool down.
Minhee, him, found Jungwon quite scary especially when he looked up at him and saw him scribbled harshly on his poor paper.
-" What are you drawing Minhee ? "
Yoshinori came up to see what Minhee was doing. It was the first time the little boy wasn't reluctant to do an activity.
-" My friend ! "
-" What's the name of your friend ? "
-" It's Sunoo "
The teacher smiled at the young boy before watching him continue his drawing. But there was only one kid on his drawing when he show him the final result.
-" That's all there's no other friends you want to add ? "
-" No I only like Sunoo. "
Yoshinori smiled and ruffled Minhee's hair before walking around the classroom. As he was walking he was slowly perking up Jungwon and his red paper and red paint all over his hands.
-" Jungwon-ah what does your drawing means ? "
-" I'm angry ! Sunoo stays with Minhee and not with me ! I'm very angry ! "
Then Jungwon took a black pen and scribbled all his paper in a angry way. Yoshinori then told the little boy to calm down a bit and have an intimate talk with Sunoo.
At the break just before lunch, Jungwon ran to Sunoo and took his hand before running in a corner of the classroom. Sunoo tried to protest but followed him anyway.
-" Stop staying with Minhee ! You're my friend not his. "
-" He is also my friend wonie and he is very nice. "
-" if you stay with him then you're not my friend and Jake's hyung friend anymore ! "
-" W-what ? "
Sunoo blinked few times before his lower lips began to tremble. Jungwon didn't want to be friends with him anymore ? And he could lost his precious friendship with Jake too ?
Of course he wont. They will accept the fact that Minhee was his friend right ?
However, Jungwon wasn't joking and went back to back with the kids he saw a little while ago. Sunoo was left alone standing in the middle of playground crying and his teacher came to him.
-" What's wrong Sunoo-ah ? Minhee and me keep cherching for you, we were worried. "
-" Jungwon is a meanie ! A big meanie ! I hate him. "
Typical child's fight, thought Yoshinori but he couldn't help but try to make the little boy happy again. Anyway he knows for sure that Jungwon could be a little bratty sometimes.
-" Stop crying 'noo ... it doesn't matter if Jungwon doesn't want to be your friend because you me and Mister Yoshi ! "
After all, thought Sunoo, Minhee was probably right. Mister Yoshi and this tall kid weren't mean like Jungwon so they were probably both great to be friends with.
