Jonghyun was running through the yard, playing tag with his father. He was laughing and giggling and smiling all kinds of happiness. His mother watched from the porch, chatting with the neighbors.
Jonghyun was caught by his father and they both wrestled on the grass, succeeding in further dirtying their clothes. The boy was obviously overpowered by the man, but it was all in good humor as he was held down and tickled mercilessly.
The brunette-haired boy looked up as his mother started crying. His and his father’s wrestling match ended immediately as the latter jumped up and ran to the crying woman. Jonghyun sat and watched confused as he saw his mom crying, but smiling at the same time.
“Jjong-Jjong, come here! I have great news.” The boy stood and walked towards his mother, the same expression etched on his face. Jonghyun took his mom’s outstretched hand and waited to hear this ‘great news’ his mother must have been crying over. “Remember that boy next door?” jonghyun nodded, barely remembering who she was talking about. “Well, he’s coming home tomorrow!” The boy smiled, not really being able to help it, and just happy that the neighbors would no longer be sad.
“What took so long?” Jonghyun couldn’t help but let the question slip past his lips. Once it did, he regretted it, even if he might know what regret was. He liked the smiles on all the adults face, and it didn’t feel good that he was the one to take that away.
His father decided to be the one to answer the question. “Well, it took a little while to get him all better. So now he’s ready to come home.” His dad smiled, but the look in his eyes was one that meant that it would be best if he didn’t ask any more questions.
And even with that in mind, Jonghyun couldn’t help but ask, “What’s his name?”
