@Lee Chanhee *Hyunjae and I both wave you off when you turn to leave, myself taking the keys from him before smiling and lifting him up with his school bag, chatting back to our home*
*once there I tell him to wash his face and put his things away before telling him your dorm number, the young boy travelling off to go and find you*
*whilst he goes I see to making us dinner, chopping vegetables and whatnot, taking a moment to check on my other children too*

(Shall we move to walls?)

@Kim Kyoungjae Oh okay... I will finish quickly and wait for him
*smiles while walking out watching how Hyunjae locks the door*
*chuckles at how cute he looked.*
I will be going now
*looks at you and bows firmly before waving goodbye to Hyunjae then turns to my dorms direction walking back with a wide smile*

@Lee Chanhee Alright then, its decided. You'll go and wash up first and change, and since I know which dorms the students are situated in, I'll send Hyunjae over to bring you over to our own one. He'll be quick so don't worry about it, alright?
*smiles as we see your eyes shine, both of us patting your shoulder as we walk to the door and open it up, waiting for you to leave first before we can do the same, locking it up*
Come now, lets lock up for the night and send Chanhee on his way, have you got a good hold on the key? Ah, there we go
*smiles as Hyunjae takes the keys from me, his little tongue poking out in concentration as he begins to slot the key in after you're out and lock my office for me*

@Kim Kyoungjae *smiles widely with sparkling eyes*
Arasso if Hyunjae doesn't mind I will be joining you
*heart beats fast out of happiness and joy for being treated well for the first time ever and eyes almost burst out into happy tears*
Mmm.... It will be better actually if I go wash and change first even if I don't. Know the way
*watches you two looking really like a father and son... Chuckles at how cute you look*

@Lee Chanhee I understand, as long as you try your best that's all we ask of you. Right, Hyunjae?
Hyunjae: Nae~! And of course, we'd love to have you over. Its just... Appa and I and you're more than welcome to come
*helps him finish his hot chocolate and puts our mugs aside, rubbing his back and murmuring something soothing in his ear*
Let me close up my office for the day and we'll be on our way, unless of course you wanted to change or wash up before coming to our home?
*tilts my head, Hyunjae doing it in the exact same way, making us really look like father and son, rather adorably as well*

@Kim Kyoungjae I'm sorry , I'm not used to meet friendly people and it is a little difficult to be informal... I will try my best m.. Eli ..
*looks at the cup in my hands with a slight blush listening to Hyunjae with a smile... Slowly taking it all to my mind*
Mmm... Sure; I would love to join if other is okay

@Lee Chanhee Mnh? Jongdae and Sunggyu? I see... Mr Zitao too? Its sweet that you call us Mr and such Chanhee but we're not actually that much older than yourself. I don't know about Zitao but I'd certainly preferred just being called Eli if you don't mind
Hyunjae: Appa doesn't like a lot of formalities because he used to be a student here, then was made headmaster. Plus he's from America~
*laughs softly and nods at Hyunjae's words, true as they are but wishing you would just call me Eli as I do dislike being spoken to so formally*
Will you join us for dinner tonight, Chanhee? Hyunjae and I love having guests over to share our hom emade meals with

@Kim Kyoungjae Oh really? I never thought someone would say I'm nice but thank you Hyunjae for considering as a friend.
*smiles brightly bowing my head*
I haven't met everyone yet but I met Mr. Zitao
Jongdae and Sunggyu ... I met some other students but we didn't talk much yet

@Lee Chanhee Hyunjae: Nae, of course hyung. One more friend is always welcomed, and Appa said you're very nice - he senses these things when bringing people into the campus
*chuckles and ruffles his hair, glancing over to you and waving off your thanks, not needing it for doing something as natural as just listening to you and offering some advice*
You're welcome, Chanhee. But there's no need for thanks, we're a big family here anyway. So tell us, who have you met so far?

@Kim Kyoungjae *listens with a smile while reading the boy's thought about missing his siblings and smiles warmly*
Mmm you have many friends already but do you have another place for one more friend?
I mean .... Can we be friends?
*looks at you with another bow and brighter smile*
Thank you again Mr. Eli I will try my best d of course I don't want to see you crying

@Lee Chanhee Hyunjae: Mnh... I guess Hyesu is my best friend, but there's my little brother and sister too, Hyunsoo and Yura
*glances down at the boy when he mentions his siblings, stroking his hair as I know he must be lonely without them*
Ah, you're more than welcome, Chanhee. We're glad you're feeling better too, come to us to talk any time, alright?
Hyunjae: I'll hold you to your promise, hyung! If you break it then I'll be sad - you don't wanna see me crying either
*laughs and kisses the top of my son's head, helping him hold his mug, glancing out the window and making the weather subtly brighter too in the hopes of making you happier as well*

@Kim Kyoungjae *smiles listening to little Hyunjae with eye smile*
Woah you learned a lot today... So Hyesu is your best friend at school.... She must be cute just like you
*smiles taking the hot drink with a bow and takes a first sip still talking with Hyungjae*
Thank you Mr. Eli .... I'm feeling a lot better now it is really nice talking to you and Hyungjae.
*smiles shyly at they younger's words and nods*
I promise I will try to smile more just for you

@Lee Chanhee *glances over my shoulder, stirring the drinks as I watch you two, smiling quietly and looking back at what I'm doing*
Hyunjae: You're welcome, I was learning today about functions of the human body in biology and then I was talking to my friend Hyesu. She's Appa's best friend's daughter
*comes over and hands you a hot chocolate, giving my son his own one carefully, reminding him that it can be hot and the boy nods, smiling and waiting for me to sit down*
*brings my own drink to my desk, sitting opposite you and placing the mug down, picking up my son as he wanted and sitting him on my lap*
Are you feeling a little better, Chanhee? Hyunjae here hates to see people cry
Hyunjae: Nae, I do... Its so sad, especially when Chanhee hyung looks like the type of person to be pretty when smiling

@Kim Kyoungjae *listens to you carefully as we go back to your office and find myself sitting again at a comfortable seat*
Thank you
*mumbled softly taking a tissue and wipes my tears feeling a little better*
You are so cute... What do you do at school?
*smiles a little as I try to start a conversation with the young boy while you make the hot chocolate.*

@Lee Chanhee The university is under attack from human rebel groups who do not appreciate us for our gifts. Hence the university has become a sort of haven for the students and teachers who attend here
So, your two powers are more than appreciated, when you're trained more you'll be able to heal when needed and your telepathy will come in handy when it comes to looking for rats in our ranks
*rubs my son's back as we walk and I hear you talk about love, simply smiling and glancing over to you as I wait to speak*
When you find the right person, they'll be willing to wait for you to learn how to deal with getting used to love - and when they stay, that's when you know its the real deal
Scared to be happy? I'm afraid the only remedy for that one is to get used to it and learn to live feeling the emotion, Chanhee
*pauses and turns around, seeing you crying and smiling quietly, knowing the kind of background you must have come from*
*leads you inside my office, my son off to find you tissues whilst I shut the door and sit you down, giving you a moment whilst I make us all hot chocolate and my son brings you the tissue box, telling you not to cry and smiling at you*

@Kim Kyoungjae *looks at you a little confused*
Why especially at this time and date? I don't know even how to protect myself.
*smiles a little listening to you and watches kids coming out of the gates*
It is just I'm not used to be close to others besides If I do fall in love it will be difficult to get used to it and I might end up losing it
*sees you waving to a young boy and says hello back shyly then nods and follows the two of you quietly*
Mr. Eli I'm scared to be happy too I don't even know what to do about it
*keep walking behind you listening to the conversation between you and your son and tears starts falling down my cheeks ... remembering how bad I was treated before*

@Lee Chanhee Mnh... Your powers are healing and telepathy, yes? Those are very useful powers, especially in this time and date
You may not be as powerful right now as you can be, or as skilled with your gifts, but this is a university, we're here to help you with that, to teach you
*smiles back at you, hearing the school bell ring and waiting beside you, listening whilst I do and keeping an eye out for Hyunjae*
Ah, falling in love, hmn? You're talking to someone who has fallen in and out of it. But... I can't tell you not to be afraid
You might go through a lot, a lot a lot to be able to find something real - but when you do, its my belief that it'll be worth it
*glances at you before waving at my eldest son, picking him up happily and introducing you to him, the young boy saying hello politely*
Come on, let's go back to my office and get some hot chocolate to speak more, alright?
*gestures for you to follow me again, waiting for you to speak so asking my son how his day was as we go*

@Kim Kyoungjae *walks like a lost puppy with lonely eyes on the ground*
I don't feel special ... being special means that one can do something that could be helpful at times.
I can't even use these powers to help myself.
*Keeps following you not really noticing the path we are taking*
I'm not only scared to fit in , I'm also scared I might lose it later. Scared that I might fall in love with something I might lose later like I always did. Everyone her is really nice and people I met are even trying to help me out to be better and that is what scares me more.
*not looking up at you and almost hitting your back when you stop at the school gates.

@Lee Chanhee *scans our surroundings as we first walk in silence, keeping watch on things around campus until I hear you speaking*
Hmn? No, no of course you're not a freak. You're not normal, none of us are, but you're special instead - in't that better?
*smiles and keeps leading us to my son's school, humming in thought at how to answer you after telling me you're scared*
Well that's alright too, Chanhee. It must be so different, right? Not being judged here for who you are but worried you'll be too used to the things before to be able to fit in here?
You're not alone, all of us are here to help, none of us want to upset you or make you feel like you don't belong here. I'n sure you've met nice people already, yes?
*glances down at you, offering a warm and understanding smile before stopping outside the school gates for my son*

@Kim Kyoungjae *blinks rapidly while suddenly being pulled out of my seat then out of the office*
*pouts a little but just nods while listening to your words*
*chuckles softly once you tap my nose and nods more*
*follows you quietly taking in the fresh air*
*bites lips trying to find the right words*
Mr. Eli ..... Am I a freak?
I mean...people used to call me that but here is much different
I'm kinda happy to be here but I'm still scared
I'm even more scared than before

@Lee Chanhee *pauses and looks over to you when you decline my offer, smiling and about to accept but not when you tell me why so*
*shakes my head and comes over to you, helping you out of the chair and bringing you out of the office, shutting the door*
Now now, I won't hear any of it. Hyunjae, my son, would love to meet you - he adores making new friends and would wish to welcome you to the school as well
*nods and taps your nose before tilting your chin up slightly, telling you subtly to keep it up and come along with me now*
*leads us down the hallways and out, hands in my pockets as I sigh and look up at the sky, giving you some peace to answer me when you want or are able to do so*

@Kim Kyoungjae Thanks a lot for being so kind but I prefer being formal
*smiles a little bearing you talking about your son*
Oh.... It is okay.... I may come later when you have the time
I don't have the right to take the father and son time for my boring problems
*tries hard not to sound sad or broken*
I really appreciate your offer Mr. Eli.... But I don't wa.t to bother you or your son.
*says weakly looking at my hands*

@Lee Chanhee Please, just call me Eli and speak informally. I may be the principal but I'm Korean-American so not really used to all the formalities that go on around here and plus, I'm just laid back
You're more than welcome to talk to me, Chanhee. What's been on your mind then? Oh no no, I was actually just going to go and pick up my son from his school, you're more than welcome to come?
Maybe some fresh air when trying to tell me what's going on would be good for you? How's about it? It's not far either so nothing like a long trek
*smiles and walks over to my chair, grabbing my jacket from the back and slipping it on, adjusting it a little as I wait for your answer*

@Kim Kyoungjae *bows politely once the door open*
Annyeongehasyeo Mr. Eli I'm sorry it took me a while to find your office
*smiles as I step in the office going to the seat you gestured me to*
I was wondering if I can talk to you a little
*bites lips not really sure if it is a good time to already talk about problems while it is just the first day*
*looked at the clock noticing you glancing at it*
I hope I'm not interrupting anything

@Lee Chanhee *pen in hand and papers filed neatly in front of me, some looking for a signature to go ahead for new parts to lessons here, others looking for a signature to giving students awards*
*either way, none of them are being signed - a distant look on my face as my free hand is clasped around a picture frame, inside a picture of my family when we were all together*
*sighs softly and snaps out of it when I hear someone knocking on the door, turning the picture frame face down before standing from my chair, tossing my pen down onto the table*
*puts on a smile as I open the door to my office, seeing your face and immediately recognising you as one of the new students here*
Ah, Chanhee-ah. Do come in, its a pleasure to see you here
*smiles and opens the door a little wider for you, stepping aside so you can come in at your own leisure, brushing my fringe back a little and shutting the door behind you, gesturing to a seat for you to take after looking at the clock*

@Kim Kyoungjae *walking aimlessly trying to find the principal's office*
This place is really huge
*Finds a door with the title and name tag eof the principal Eli*
*smiling to myself , takes a deep breath and knocks the door*
I hope he would understand me
*chants to myself witing for permission to go in*
