When Jaehyun arrived at the company early, he started moving his belongings to the other office that was a floor higher than he usually goes. He was helped by others so it wasn't much of a hassle. It didn't take that long so Jaehyun was able to work on the papers that were given to him a while ago.

While he was busy, Doyoung walked into the new office with a few more folders in hand. He placed them on the alpha's table and heard a sigh from him.

"Sorry to disturb you but you have a meet up with a shareholder today. He wants to have a talk," Doyoung said.

Jaehyun looked at his watch and it was almost time for him to pick Blue from school. He looked up at his secretary with worry.

"I can't, I need to pick up Blue," the alpha uttered, hoping that Doyoung will understand, "Can't Mark replace me?"

"I'm sorry but he requested it to be you."

Jaehyun clicked his tongue before he goes back on signing some papers, "Anything more to say to me?"

"Yeah...Aside from the press conference this Saturday, you were invited to a business party. You should meet your company's partners and shareholders. The board members would there as well," the secretary said.

The man nodded, "What time is the meet up?"

"Right now."

Jaehyun groaned, "I'll finish one more then I'll go out."

"Hey, I can substitute you if I could but he just wants you, nobody else. If you want, I can make up an excuse so I could move it to another day--"

"I'm sure that old man is stubborn. I'll handle it today," the man stood up and closed his coat, "I'm finished with those. Keep them by the shelves, please."

Jaehyun walked towards the door and stepped out with Doyoung behind him. The secretary made sure he locked the door before he catch up with the CEO. The alpha was thinking of something so he could somehow calm down Jaehyun. Jaehyun isn't good with people when he's mad. As much as possible, Doyoung doesn't want any trouble.

"Hey, I can drive Blue home if you want. That could be atleast something I can help you with," Doyoung said.

Jaehyun stopped and turned to look at Doyoung, he put a small smile, "No. You have too much things to do. I'll just call my mother to pick up Blue instead."

The secretary just nodded with his eyebrows furrowed. Jaehyun chuckled and flicked Doyoung's forehead. The alpha rubbed his palm against his forehead.

"Hey, what was that?" Doyoung whined.

"I'll be fine. I'll keep a cool head," Jaehyun said.

The alpha rolled his eyes, "I hope so."

"Alright, see you tomorrow, kids!"

Taeyong opened the door for the children to go out and play at the playground. He ruffled their heads and pinched their cheek in the process. Before he could walk out of the classroom, he looked around to see if anyone left something.

"Blue, let's go," Taeyong called up.

The kid took a liking of him that he'd rather be with his 'papa' than being with his uncle Ten. Blue stood up and grabbed his bag before he walked towards Taeyong. The omega scooped him up before they walked out of the classroom. They made their way to where the playground is and Taeyong looked for River.

He was going to place the baby down but Blue wrapped his small arms around the omega's neck. Taeyong just smiled before he just sat down on the bench while he watches the kid.

"Did you have some fun today?" Taeyong asked, "Tired?"

"Yes, papa."

It just flutters Taeyong's heart whenever he hears Blue call me 'papa.' He rubbed the child's back so he could calm him down.

"You don't want to play? River's there," the omega said.

Blue shook his head, "I'll stay with papa while I wait daddy."

Taeyong got taken aback now that he realized that Jaehyun's going to come here any minute now. He looked around if he could find someone to ask a favor before the alpha arrives. But instead, he saw Jungwoo coming towards them.

"Hey, uhm, his father can't come over because of work. Ten said his grandmother would pick him up instead," Jungwoo uttered.

Taeyong nodded, "Oh, alright. Is she coming now?"

The omega stood so they could wait near the entrance. Blue did hear it and he has enough vocabulary to understand what they said. He got upset about it just because he always waits for his daddy and he wants Jaehyun to pick him up from school. He suddenly thought about going to the company by himself to surprise his daddy.

Taeyong puts Blue down and held his hand. It didn't take long until a car pulled up infront of the kindergarten. He pulled up a smile at the woman who stepped out of the car. She walked towards the omega with a smile on her face.

"Lala!" Blue called.

"Hey, baby," she cooed and carried the baby to kiss him on the cheek. She then opened the car and placed the baby inside the backseat. She went back to where Taeyong was.

"You must be his teacher," she said.

Taeyong bowed, "Yes, I am."

"Thank you for taking care of him. I've heard his stories every night. He seemed to be enjoying here," she uttered.

"I always make sure he's enjoying while he studies. Also, your grandson is such a sweetheart. Many teachers are very fond of him," Taeyong said.

The woman nodded, "I'm glad then. He's been really feeling a bit upset whenever he thinks about his mother. But what can we do? My son can't seem to find her...or him. Jaehyun doesn't want him grow up without his mother so he keeps finding but for now, we're trying our best to make him happy."

Taeyong sighed. It'll be really hard for a little boy like him to have an broken family. Blue's such a sunshine that Taeyong just wished happiness for him. Hopefully, him being his temporary papa would ease his feelings. Childhood should be the most memo--

"Wait, where's Blue?!"
