23 Dulwich College Seoul

(Dulwich Collge Seoul)

Situated on a purpose-designed city campus just south of the Han River in the centrally located Seocho District, Dulwich College Seoul was a preparatory school implementing British-style international education for students aged 3 years to 18 years.

It was built upon the history of Dulwich College London, one of Britain's most prestigious independent schools originated in 1619. The College had maintained a close relationship with Dulwich College London and the Dulwich Colleges in Shanghai, Beijing, Suzhou, Yangon, and Singapore.

This was the school that Shu Hwa had done research on while she had been preparing to move back to Seoul. As she now had quite a fortune, she wanted to enrol her children to the best school possible. To provide them with the best education and also a wide range of connection.

In addition, she chose international school over the local ones because she believed her babies would adjust more quickly and felt more comfortable in a rather familiar environment. With a couple of foreign professor and students, the twins would feel much more relief since they had gone to kindergarten in New York.

Shu Hwa strolled into the school ground with her twins in both hands. As soon as she arrived, she went ahead to visit the principal who knew of her identity as the famous author - Bluebell.

Dr. Cameron A. Jones, the principal of Dulwich College, earnestly welcomed the mother and sons. He let them sit in his office and even offered them a cup of tea. After that, he proceeded to explain about the school events, courses and even introduced her to the kids' homeroom teacher.

The prim and polite young man who had been standing by the principal's side smiled at her before his attention shifted to the kids who were looking at him. One was filled with curiosity while the other scrutinized him from head to toe.

Amused, the teacher introduced himself to the kids, "Hello, I'm Cha Min Soo, the teacher assigned to class A. We will be working together from now on."

On the side, Shu Hwa nodded in satisfaction at the teacher's friendly demeanour. He approached them in a calm but kind manner. Then, Shu Hwa nudged her kids to introduce themselves.

Min Jun shot his hand up and beamed flashing his row of white teeth. "Hello! I'm my mommy's favourite, Min Jun. Nice meeting you, Teacher Min Soo."

The young man giggled at his cute introduction. He went forward and knelt down to the kid's level. He shook Min Jun's chubby hand.

"Nice meeting you too, Student Min Jun."

Afterwards, his eyes shifted to the indifferent boy standing beside Min Jun who had been scrutinizing him earlier.

Min Hyuk pursed his lips when the teacher looked at him. He gave a brief introduction. "Hello, I'm Min Hyuk. Nice to meet you."

Teacher Min Soo's eyes widened as he looked at the stark difference between both the kids. One was so adorable while the other was a mini adult, fiercely indifferent and cold.

He heard a soft chuckle and shifted his eyes to the beautiful lady sitting at the corner beside Min Jun. He was surprised when he heard that a famous author was registering her kids here. He thought it would be some middle-aged woman but to his utter surprise, a young beautiful lady turned up with two adorable babies.

He waited for the husband to come in because no one in their right mind would allow their beautiful wife to come unaccompanied with their kids but even after the principal's introduction, no one entered the room.

He was even more surprised to know that this young lady was none other than Bluebell, who was now a published international author. Even he was a fan of her books.

Min Hyuk noticed the young man staring at his precious mommy.

Displeased, he hugged his mommy by her neck, surprising Shu Hwa. The little man declared, "Mommy is mine!"

Min Jun gaped at his older brother's actions. He stared absently before eventually followed along. He wrapped his arms around Shu Hwa's neck from the other side and chimed in, "Yes. Mommy is ours."

Teacher Min Soo noticed the disapproval in the older son's eyes. He coughed as he said, "I'm a fan of your mommy"

Shu Hwa was taken aback at his confession. She chuckled rather shyly. "Thank you for liking my books."

Teacher Min Soo's ears turned red upon seeing her smile. He just nodded a little before asking for an autograph.

Shu Hwa happily signed on his journal. After that, she bid them farewell before going to a stationery store to buy all the necessary school supplies. The kids didn't have to go to class today since they had only just been registered. Today was for an introduction and to finish the administration procedure.

After Shu Hwa put all the things in the car and they got in, Min Jun asked, "Mommy, where are we going now?"

Shu Hwa pretended to think. "Where do you want to go?"

Min Jun's eyes twinkled. Putting on a puppy's eyes, he pleaded, "Pizza! Mommy let's eat pizza! Min Jun wants pizza!"

Shu Hwa laughed at Min Jun's ecstatic expression. This young one had always been high-spirited since young. He would bounce here and there nonstop. Meanwhile, Shu Hwa directed her soft gaze towards Min Hyuk. This one had always been quiet and a bit of a loner.

Min hyuk just shrugged. His face was clearly saying, 'I will go anywhere mommy wants.'

She rubbed her chin and then looked at the time on the dashboard. It was still before ten. The enrollment didn't take long. There was still time so, she offered the kids, "How about we go to the amusement park first and then head out to have pizza later at night?"

Upon hearing amusement parks, the twins jolted from their seats in excitement. They bobbed their heads cheerfully.

"Yes, Mommy! Amusement Park!" Min Jun screamed.

"Hurry up, Mommy! So, we're not too late," Min Hyuk who usually appeared mild was excited as well.

After all, this would be their first-ever amusement park. They had only visited the zoo when they were still kids. Amusement park was a luxury and at that time, Shu Hwa had not gained such fortune yet. Seeing the smiles on their faces, Shu Hwa laughed heartily and began driving towards the amusement park.
