“Yes! Mom and Dad have to come together, okay?”
“Guys, I’m sorry, but Mom is here right now,”
"Mom, you can just sit still and watch us. Dad, you just have to move!"
“Me, just me..?”
"Wow~ Our twins' first sports day is going to be so much fun! I'll take some pretty pictures and shoot lots of videos!"
If there's one person here who can't laugh, it's Taehyung.
Judging by the noise next door, I guess they're talking about the sports day.
“Dojin, my dad used to be a good runner. Whenever he ran, he would come in first, but whenever he sprained his ankle, he would come in second.”
“Wow, really? Dad, this is awesome!”
“So, Dojin, just trust your dad!”
" huh! "
Dahyun sighed and shook her head as she saw Seokjin shrug his shoulders after giving Dojin a high five and putting him to sleep.
"I told you not to say anything you can't keep, right? What if you end up last? What are you going to do if your child is disappointed?"
“Why am I last? I’m good at sports.”
“What are you going to do if you run together with the master?”
“Huh? Taehyung?”
"This relay race is especially special because it's run by people from different grades, the same class, and the same number. Dojin is number 4 in class 7, grade 3, and Taeyoon is also number 4 in class 7, grade 1."
“Huh..?”
"Tae-yoon, fighting! Mom will be watching!"
" yes-! "
“Hey little brother, did you practice a lot?”
“Hey, bro, it’s elementary school sports day, why do you have to practice? Just run.”
Behind Taehyung's leisurely smile, sparks flew from his eyes. Seokjin also looked at Taehyung with blazing eyes.
“Why are dads like that? They’re just too competitive.”
“Well, anyway, Woojin is cute! He’s so cute and bright like Seokjin...”
Meanwhile, the children...
“Brother, I heard you have a younger brother?”
“Yeah, my name is Woojin. I heard you have two younger sisters?”
“Yeah, I actually wish I had a younger brother... but I think it would be hard for Mom.”
While Dojin and Taeyoon were crouching down and chatting away, the announcement rang.
“Next, there will be a relay race between students number 4, class 7, grade 1, and number 4, class 7, grade 6. The children and their fathers involved are requested to come to the center of the playground.”
"Dojin, just trust me. I will make sure that you become number one."
The four stood at the starting line in a state of desperation. The gym teacher stood next to them, holding a gun, and shouted.
“Ready, ground!”
As soon as Seokjin and Taehyung set off, a sandstorm blew. They each held their child's hand tightly and ran as if they were at the Olympics. The noise was as loud as two cheetahs running.
Cheolperduk,
“Hwaaang-!”
“Tae-yoon..!”
Unable to keep up with Taehyung's speed, Taeyoon ended up falling. The two of them were running in first place... but Seokjin ended up catching up. Dojin looked back, worried about Taeyoon, even as he was being dragged by Seokjin(?). However, Seokjin mercilessly passed by Taehyung and Taeyoon.
"Kim Tae-yoon, you can do it! If you don't cry right now, get up strong, and run again, you can get second place!"
Looking back, the other children and their fathers were still running far behind. Taeyoon wiped his tears with his sleeve and held Taehyung's hand tightly again.
" let's go! "
I ran so hard and came in second place. At the finish line, Dojin stood there, looking gloomy and worried, while Seokjin and Taeyoon were happy about coming in first.
“Son, why are you so depressed? You got first place.”
“Dad, you were bad!”
“Huh? Why me?”
“Your nephew fell in front of you, and you pretended not to see him? That’s just too much.”
When Dojin pouts, Seokjin smiles awkwardly and finally looks at Taeyoon's cracked knee.
“Oh my, you’re badly hurt. Shouldn’t you go to the hospital?”
“Uncle, it’s not that bad. You could have just gone to the infirmary. Why not go to the hospital?”
“…Yeah, the wound you got from falling down was a bit severe at the hospital, right?”
Seokjin bashfully accepted the first-place prize from the principal. Taehyung left the second-place prize with Seokjin and headed to the infirmary with Taeyoon in his arms.
"Tae-yoon, even though he didn't win first place, he's still amazing. He fell and got hurt, but he got back up and ran again. Our son is amazing."
“Dad is amazing too!”
Sports day... Dojin has a lot of parts! He's a handsome 10-year-old who looks just like Seokjin when he was little.
