"I can clearly see you staring at Yeosang right now. You like him, don't you?"

───°˖✧✿✧˖°───

The four of them entered Yunho's house with Min Ji still not leaving his uncle Yunho's side. As they enter the house, Wooyoung immediately ran towards Yeosang and gave him a hug. Meanwhile, San just greeted them with a hug while Mingi and the others are inside the kitchen.

"Let's sit down, Min Ji." Yunho said. He soon brought Min Ji on her seat and Jongho sat beside her. The Choi couple sat across them and Yeosang sat beside Min Ji on the other side. "So, how was your day at school, Min Ji?" Wooyoung asked.

"I did very well, uncle. I got a perfect for my drawing earlier." Min Ji replied proudly and smiled widely. Jongho just gave his daughter a smile and Yeosang immediately agreed. "Of course, you did very well with the drawing and the explanation."

"Explanation?" San asked, "Then was it a draw and tell activity?" Min Ji nods. "How did you know, uncle San?" San gave her a dimple smile and Yeosang chuckled, "Of course, I am your uncle San. I know everything."

"Then can you guess what did I drew, uncle San?" San was taken aback by the sudden comment and Wooyoung just playfully shook his head while laughing. "Hmm, a garden? With flowers and butterflies?"

"Wrong!" Yeosang and Min Ji exclaimed at the same time. They both laughed and looked at each other as they high fived. "That's wrong, uncle San! I drew myself, daddy Jongho and Teacher Yeosang!"

"Teacher Yeosang?" Jongho asked. Min Ji looked at his dad and nodded continuously, "Yes, daddy. Teacher Yeosang asked us to draw ourselves with our daddy and mommy. But mommy is not around so I just drew teacher Yeosang."

Silence was about to rule but it was delayed when another voice spoke, "That was cute. Of course, our teachers would be our second parent. Right, Min Ji?" It was Seonghwa who's holding a hot pot of noodles. "Yes, uncle!"

Seonghwa chuckled as Hongjoong went at the dining area after Seonghwa. "Uncle Hongjoong, hello! Where's Seongjin?" Hongjoong wrapped his arm around Seonghwa's waist before answering, "At home, Min Ji. He has a lot of assignments to do so he can't come."

Min Ji frowned for a little while but Seonghwa just comforted her with kind and soft words. "Anyways, how did you explain the drawing you did earlier? I bet you did it very well that's why you got a perfect score." Jongho asked.

"Yes I did, daddy. I even made teacher Yeosang smile. I am very good at explaining don't you know that." While Min Ji is being cocky and satisfied with her work, the rest was just admiring her. "So shall we eat?" Yunho said out of nowhere. "Yep, we should." Mingi replied.

The celebration went just fine. Min Ji being very active and talkative while she's with everyone hasn't changed. She's never losing energy but you'll see her later in his daddy's arms.

Jongho can't help but stare at Yeosang as Min Ji played at talk with him. He's just delicate when it comes to Min Ji. Even if Wooyoung has told him that he may be too honest that it ends up hurting their feelings, Jongho can't seem to see any trace of that attitude.

Wooyoung even said that Yeosang is normally quiet but right now, he was just active and he's very noisy while he's with Min Ji. As if Yeosang's a different person around her. As if Min Ji is his safe place. As if he's with someone who can be himself with Min Ji.

That's what Jongho seems to see and vice versa. Jongho could see how comfortable Min Ji became with Yeosang rather than when she adjusted with the others. Maybe that's why he trusted Yeosang immediately.

Yeosang may be someone who could truly fulfill the empty space that's inside Min Ji's heart; the space that was really for her mother. But if ever Min Ji's mother would come back, Jongho understands enough to let her be at least part of Min Ji's life. But she could never take away Min Ji from him.

"You seemed to look through Yeosang's soul right now, something wrong?" Jongho looked at San who's questioning his gaze towards Yeosang. "Hmm, is my little brother developing some feelings towards Min Ji's teacher."

Jongho shook his head and just chuckled along his brother's question. "Of course not, hyung. It's just that I'm relieved that Min Ji is really comfortable with Yeosang."

"Ah, I don't believe you!" San raises his voice, enough to let the others hear him. Jongho quickly glares at San knowing what he is doing. "I can clearly see you staring at Yeosang right now. You like him, don't you?"

That's when the room was filled with those teasing sounds like 'yie' and something else making Jongho flustered and Yeosang flushed. Seeing the situation, Yunho and Min Ji both giggled as Yunho stands up and joins San.

"I can clearly see you too being stunned by Yeosang's giggle earlier at the car. Don't deny it, Jongho." Yunho wraps his arm around San and continued to tease Jongho. Jongho just shook his head, knowing that they won't stop.

"Ah, like what I told you, it's just that I am happy that Min Ji is comfortable with other people like Yeosang rather than us." Yunho and San just shrugged. "I don't think so," Mingi said jokingly.

Though the joke did something to Yeosang's stomach that made him flushed and agitated more than Jongho was.
