Chapter 7. Vacation plans

"Okay kids, now it's time for your lunch okay?"

Jeonghan closes the glass door and guides the childrens towards the wash basin to get thier hands cleaned.   He was currently at the kindergarten school he works at.

As the children washed their hands, Jeonghan prepared the lunch boxes that he had brought from home. He had made sandwiches, cut up some fruits, and packed some juice boxes for the kids.

"Okay, everyone come and get your lunch boxes," Jeonghan called out to the children.

Excitedly, the children ran towards the table where Jeonghan had laid out the lunch boxes. They eagerly opened them up and started munching on their sandwiches.

The latter had even packed some for hanuel too, he hands the box to Mina who was very much happy to see the teacher take care of hanuel like his own kid. It's been a week since the dinner at seungcheol's place and to be honest both the adults have gotten a little close . Even Jeonghan admits it, he would rather spend be spending time at seungcheol's house cooking dinner for them when Mina would be on leave or just playing and spending time with hanuel.

"Jeonghan, did you have your lunch yet?" Jeonghan snaps out of his thoughts when his colleague Joshua comes to greet him. "Not yet shua, what about you?" Jeonghan questions back as he grabs his lunch bag and makes his way out of the room after throwing one last glance at the kids in his room.

"Not yet, come lets go" Joshua smiles tenderly as they make thier way to the staff room to eat thier lunch together. They both clicked very soon with eachother when they had met five months back. Hence the reason why Jeonghan decided to shift to seoul fully. He had Joshua here to take care of him and his parents weren't much of concern too.

"How's chan and seok?" Jeonghan inquires, Joshua nods his head as he rants about how his husband seokmin and thier child chan only see him as biat and tease him alot. "They both are the wildest when together and now even seok has work leave so he works from home so it's even more hectic because of the pranks they keep pulling on me" The pretty male fakes a groans and Jeonghan laughs at him.

Jeonghan chuckles, finding Joshua's predicament amusing. "Well, it sounds like you have your hands full with those two troublemakers. But I'm sure it's all in good fun, right?" he teases. "Besides, it's nice that Seok gets to work from home and spend more time with Chan. I'm sure they both adore you, even if they have a funny way of showing it." Jeonghan gives Joshua a reassuring smile.

"Ofcourse they do and that's why they have booked a whole trip to Jeju without even informing me" Joshua exclaimed flaring his hands all over the place and Jeonghan looks at amused. "What! Are you serious?" Jeonghan questions with wide eyes. "Yes, the winter break is nearing so maybe I should also take a break" Joshua exclaimed with a soft pout and Jeonghan pats his back reassuring him.

"It's okay, this just shows how much they care about you" He says and then continue with thier lunch soon.

After his long day at work, Jeonghan finally arrives home and decided to bless himself with a bubble bath and some scented candles. He places his handbag down before making his way to the cabinet to remove the berry scented candles and lits them up placing it all over the living room and one in bathroom.

As the sweet aroma fills the air, Jeonghan fills up the bathtub with warm water and adds some lavender bubble bath. He undresses and slowly sinks into the water, feeling the tension in his muscles slowly melt away.

He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, letting the calming scent of the candles and bubble bath wash over him. He lets out a content sigh and leans his head back against the edge of the tub.For the next hour, Jeonghan simply relaxes in the warm water, enjoying the peace and quiet of his home.
