It was her hotel. Seoyun walked around the lobby looking like she was an average guest with her bag and everything, casually walking towards the check in desk as if she was really about to get a room for herself when in reality, some guest had left it behind and was bringing it up for the workers to find its rightful owner.

"If you could find whoever this belongs to," she kindly said to one of her workers, smiling, then stepping away from the desk to the stranger behind her who must have actually been trying to check in. Seoyun offered a small smile and a bow. "Excuse me...we hope you have a nice stay. Unless you need help with something else?"

As the owner of the bag appeared, Seoyun bowed as she rolled the suitcase over to the free arm that wasn't holding a child. She admired how cute the little boy was, directing a sweet smile at him and resisting the urge to pinch the child's cheek.

"It's busy here in the mornings. Everyone is trying to check out at the same time, it happens frequently," she assured the man, stepping off to the side away from the counter as a family was trying to check in -- little did they know that they wouldn't be allowed to for a few more hours until the rooms could be turned over appropriately. A common mistake if people don't read their reservation correctly.

"What a cute child," Seoyun finally complimented. "Someone looks sleepy. Are you in a rush out? I can call for a ride sooner if that would help. I'm Seoyun, the owner of the hotel."

As if this stay hadn't been frustrating enough, now his bag was missing. Yunho sighed loudly, pushing a hand through his hair. He'd been so busy packing up his son's things that he'd missed an entire bag of his own.

Once everything was packed up in the car, Yunho reached for Yunhwa and settled him on his hip. He murmured to him, promising him that they would be leaving soon, that he could nap in the car once they'd looked for the bag.

Thankfully, it didn't take much to spot it. He followed his own scent, one that stood out among everything else mingling in this lobby, and stopped behind a woman holding it. When she turned to him, Yunho put on a warm, grateful smile. "Yes, you have my bag," he explained, adjusting Yunhwa carefully. "I've been looking for it everywhere, I was careless when I was packing."

"Hello, Yunhwa." Seoyun continued to give most of her attention towards the child and his adorable smile -- she admired kids, especially such well behaved ones who sat so patiently in their parents arms. He had to be getting tired and overwhelmed with the morning check out rush.

"A lot happens in the mornings, of course you'll miss something." With a silent gesture, Seoyun was guiding them away from the lobby towards the area with large windows and plenty of seating space. She'd also taken it upon herself by taking the luggage with since Yunho had his hands all full. "Why don't I get you some coffee? It might help you wake up. Yunhwa, what would you say? I think the cafe would let you have a sweet from the shop if your father says yes."

With a grateful smile, Yunho bowed, careful not to tip his boy too far over. "Thank you," he said, exhaling a relieved breath. "Losing the piece of luggage with most of my clothing in it would have made this trip even worse than it was."

Yunho made sure to step out of the way of the family coming to the counter, rolling his suitcase with him. He looked up, raising his brows just so as the woman spoke. The owner of the hotel, hm? How fortunate for him, then, that his suitcase was found by the right person.

"Ah, thank you." Yunho smiled once more, this time, genuine and warm. He knew his son was beautiful and loved hearing it from others. Yunhwa, for his part, gave Seoyun a toothy smile, despite his obvious exhaustion. "I'm Yunho and this is my son, Yunhwa. We're not in a rush, I was just really annoyed with myself for forgetting my things."

Seoyun tried her best not to coo at the sight of Yunhwa's adorable yawn. She'd never seen a cuter boy before that looked so content to sleep on his father that comfortably. It meant Yunho must have been a good dad.

"Please. Wait here," she gestured towards one of the plush couches, briefly disappearing to the small cafe opened inside the hotel lobby. Seoyun was able to bypass the line and politely thanked the baristas for their hard work, returning with coffee and a small cookie for the little one. "Hopefully this will help you wake up for your return home." Seoyun gave a small bow to the father son duo. "If there's anything else that you require assistance with, please let me know."

Yunho watched Seoyun for a moment. He followed her, mostly because she had taken some of his luggage. He really shouldn't; he was on a time limit and he was expected to be home soon. But Yunhwa was already settling down against his shoulder with a yawn and the last thing he wanted to do was disturb his baby.

"Coffee wouldn't be such a bad thing," he said with an exhale. Yunho looked down at Yunhwa, watching as he peeked at Seoyun. The temptation of something sweet certainly had caught his attention; there was no escaping now. Smiling, Yunho nodded. "I think appa can allow that, hm?"

"I'm happy to do it. Truly," Seoyun assured him, wanting to give the best impression of the hotel as she could. She'd been about to ask if Yunho needed more help for his departure, however she was interrupted by a very loud, agitated customer slamming their hand down on the check in desk and yelling at one of her employee's with a berating tone.

Seoyun didn't tolerate anyone yelling at her workers like that. Clearly, something had happened, but it didn't excuse this sort of behavior. She backed away from Yunho and his adorable child to confront the man, only to approach with an introduction and get met with the same screaming, this time directed at Seoyun rather than the worker.

Carefully, Yunho took a seat and arranged Yunhwa in his lap. The child yawned once more, but there was an alertness to his eyes that wasn't there before. He'd been promised something sweet and he would not settle until he got it.

While they waited, Yunho took the opportunity to text his boss an update. A little delay couldn't hurt too much, and he could always make a call once they were on the road. He looked up when Seoyun returned. With a smile, he bowed and accepted the coffee, his smile widening as Yunhwa bowed while taking the cookie. "Thank you, really. You didn't have to go out of your way to do all of this, but I appreciate it all the same."

Seoyun could handle the agitation and screaming, but as the frustrated customer took a step towards her, she actually took two steps back. She tried to stand her ground, and was about to threaten back security when Yunho bravely took the confrontation away from her.

The man seemed to calm down. Actually, Seoyun thought the man looked actually a little intimidated? No. He actually looked scared. Whatever authoritative tone Yunho used was enough to make the man stumble back and cower to where he stormed angrily out of the hotel, leaving behind his bag.

Seoyun swallowed, unsure of what had just happened. She calmly collected herself and reached out for the man's bag, mirroring what she'd done earlier with Yunho and handing it off to reception to find its owner should he come back. "I...I guess I should be thanking you," she said to Yunho with a confused, taken back tone.

Yunho watched as Seoyun stepped away. He could hear the altercation from where he sat, and even if the man wasn't shouting, his sensitive ears would've picked it up, anyway. And he wasn't backing down, either, even with the owner approaching to settle the situation.

With a sigh, Yunho stood up. "Watch and learn, my little cub," he murmured, pressing a kiss to Yunhwa's head. The boy watched him intently; he was intelligent, the other half of him adding to that wit. "One day, you'll be dealing with people like this, too."

Yunho stopped beside Seoyun. "Excuse me," he said by way of greeting, his voice pleasant. When the man turned to them, Yunho allowed a subtle hint of aggression to roll off of him. It was the tiger in him demanding a lesser being submit. "I suggest you lower your voice and approach this more calmly. Whatever the situation is, the aggression isn't necessary."
