donghyuck made his way inside the company and greeted everyone he sees, it's now his second day of working in zhong's company.

yes, he was working at chenle. he was at the department where some of his co-workers there were mad at him, in short, his friends.

"hyung!" the younger one greeted when he saw donghyuck arrive.

"lele!" donghyuck said happily and ran towards him.

but it suddenly ruined their moment when a small chinese walked between them, making the both of them pouted.

"hyung! you ruined our moment!" the younger hissed.

"moment? i'm just right there but both of you didn't greet me!" the older hissed, making donghyuck and chenle look at each other.

"renjunie!"

his eyes widened when he realised what the two were going to do instead of hugging him, the three were now chasing each other but who cares?

donghyuck was panting as he made his way at the last table of the room, he was at the last corner and his table would not easily be noticed.

it was kinda comfortable for him, except for being out of place with the others, he can even enjoy his free time in watching kdramas.

"hyuck, it's already lunch time." renjun approached him.

"i'm fine, hyung. i have my lunch here." donghyuck said, pointing to the brown paper bag on his table.

"you're always bringing your lunch just to watch kdramas." and jaemin came out of nowhere.

"yes, because it's true though." he fought back.

"we will go now, and eat well." renjun said and started to pull jaemin out of the room who keeps making a face to donghyuck, who is also doing the same.

donghyuck opened his lunch back as he clicked the last episode he was currently watching. he was now at the end and after a few minutes, he started sobbing.

"isn't that jeno?" and he pulled jaemin's coat.

"where?" jaemin asked, he looked at renjun before at the way he was pointing.

inside the chenle's office, there was jisung and jeno, together with the small kid between them. they was getting scolded by jisung's fiance, which is chenle.

"what if he sees him?!" and he slammed the table.

"chenle-ah, calm down..." jisung said, making chenle glare at him.

"calm down?! how will i calm down?!" he shouted.

"but he didn't even know his child's face!" jeno said.

"it's still his son! he will feel it!" he shouted once again.

as chenle was busy scolding the two, the kid slowly walked away from them and went out of the room. as he came out, his eyes went around the hall and decided to enter the open room he saw.

when he saw no one was around the room, he was ready to leave not until he heard someone's crying. he looked again around the room and found the voice.

"sir?"

donghyuck sniffed and wiped his nose as he continued crying, his eyes went on the little kid in front of him, handing him a tissue that made him look at it.

"why are you crying?" the kid asked donghyuck to accept the tissue and use it to wipe his tears.

"me?" and he pointed to himself.

"there's no other people in here except the two of us." the kid said, he said it in a calm voice but donghyuck felt that he was kinda dumb on that part.

"oh, i was just watching a drama." and he pointed at his screen, making the kid look at it. but the kid's eyes also look at the food.

"you kept on watching but your food wasn't finished yet," he pointed at the food.

"you're talkative, aren't you?" and he couldn't help but laugh.

"because daddy said it's bad to waste food." the kid pouted, fidgeting his hands.

donghyuck smiled slowly, fading away, he suddenly remembered someone about that word. there's someone who keeps reminding him about wasting food.

"who are you with? does your parents live here?" he changed the topic.

"i want to sit, my knees hurt." the kid said while pouting, but donghyuck being donghyuck.

"there's no other chairs here, and if i will let you sit on my lap. you look heavy so, no." he smirked, making the kid stomped his feet.

"i want to sit!" he whined, which made donghyuck laugh and patted his lap.

"okay, come here." and he moved his chair backwards, carrying the kid and sitting him down on his lap.

donghyuck still wants to watch the drama but he decided to end it, which made the kid question why he stopped watching, but he didn't bother to answer the kid.

"does your parents know where you are?" he asked.

"i was with uncle nono and uncle chicken," the kid said politely. suddenly, donghyuck smiled.

"so, jeno and jisung brought you here? where are they though?" he asked curiously.

"hmm, uncle lele is mad at them. he was scary." and the kid acted like he was scared which made donghyuck laugh.

"do you want to play?"

"but daddy said it's bad playing a computer because it will affect my study," the kid pouted, making donghyuck frown.

"he didn't let you play on the computer?" he asked curiously, the kid nodded.

"yeah, that's why i like going to uncle nono's house because he lets me play those." he giggled.

"hmp, your daddy is really strict." donghyuck said. "we will play on the computer, okay? but in just a short time because you're still a kid and we need to protect your eyes."

donghyuck said with actions making the kid laugh, he suddenly felt that his heart was melting because of the kid's laugh. he was so comfortable with the kid.

hope his son is also here.

"oh..." he whispered as they ended the first game. "we lost..." he pouted.

"it's okay to lose, uncle pudu." and the kid faced him, cupping his cheeks. "we can try again," he giggled.

"you're acting like this because you want to play again," and he squished his cheeks.

"we will stop playing until we win," the kid said, giggling.

"aish, you're so cute!" he squealed. "okay, let's play again. i'm still the water girl, okay?" he giggled.

"you don't want the fire boy?" the kid asked curiously.

"no, but i like boys." and his eyebrow went up and down.

"oh, just like uncle nono." and the kid laughed.

the two continued playing, and didn't realise how the time passed so fast. not until someone barged inside the room, making the two stop from laughing so loud.

"donghyuck! have you seen—"

jeno was stopped from shouting in a tone of worry after seeing the situation at his friend's table, the kid's hand on keyboard while sitting on donghyuck's lap, and donghyuck who's supporting the kid.

"uncle nono!" the kid said happily.

"we need to go home," and he immediately carried the kid.

"bye, uncle pudu!" the kid waved to him while jeno was carrying him, donghyuck smiled and waved back.

he was also curious why jeno suddenly got the kid like that, he pouted when he realised he didn't even get the kid's name. he was just calling him 'babi' and the kid loves it.

he started to clean his desk as he finished his food, he put them all back at the paperbag before wiping his desk. after cleaning his place, he got his tumbler and went out of the room.

just to see the others outside, having a talk. he was about to leave but his eyes went on the kid who's waiting to notice him, a smile shown on his face and secretly waved at the kid.

the kid also smiled and waved back at him before donghyuck finally left the place.

"what's that smile?" renjun asked when he entered the pantry.

"nothing," he giggled.

"oh, this is kinda dangerous..." jaemin said as he ate nachos.

"it's not about a man, stupid." he hissed. "i just met someone adorable today." and he giggled one more time.

"adorable? is that a kid or someone small?" renjun asked, making donghyuck nod his head.

"just like you, small but adorable." and jaemin speaks again.

renjun was ready to throw his hands to his boyfriend but jaemin immediately ran out of the room, ending the two left donghyuck alone at the pantry.

he just sighed and poured cold water on his tumbler, the smile on his face didn't fade away, he was really happy.

"i hope my son's here..."
