With a swift click of a button, Edmund locked the doors behind his sleek black car as he walked towards the school building. There was speed in his steps, walking briskly as he navigated his way around the building, passing by lockers, classrooms, and other parents while he tried to find the homeroom classroom of his daughter. Edmund Hyun wasn't normally one to be late, he ran a tight schedule with a planner that indicated every important event he had planned with the exact time he should be there. However, there were some complications in the recent case he was in, just another case of big headed corporate pigs trying to get the most profit out of the other. He reluctantly had to act as the mediator during the whole debacle and was forced to contact the school, saying that he would be late and to move him to be the last parent of the infamous Mr. Sunny.
He's heard quite the stories about his daughter's favorite teacher and he would be lying to himself if he wasn't at least a bit excited to finally have a face to match the name. Ophelia, the apple of Edmund's eye, described the man as if he were a mythical being. With hair color changing on various occasions that Edmund was beginning to think some of the details being described were works of fiction. His daughter just letting lose with her imagination and picture one of her teachers to be a metamorphmagus like that one character from Harry Potter, whom she couldn't stop drawing after he read to her the series as a bed time story. Regardless, Edmund was ready to meet Mr. Sunny, he knew that he was a recent member of the faculty, not recognizing his name from the previous school years and besides the information his daughter says about him, the parents council loves to gossip.
A young teacher, only just recently graduated from university. It was only good things from them (well besides the distasteful remarks from more conservative parents but Edmund never gave them the time of day). Which sparked even more interest since the parents council always had at least one negative thing to say about others, it was a rather cut-throat party underneath it all.
Edmund stopped at the door that hung the sign, "Mr. Sunny's class". He dusted off his suit, the color today was a royal blue with a single gold rose pin on his chest; first impressions were everything. With a polite smile on his face, he gave the door a gentle knock, it would only be polite that he shows his presence before finally opening door. Ophelia had been chatting up a storm to the man Edmund could only assume to be Mr. Sunny, with the topic being... him? Before Edmund could genuinely try to listen in, Ophelia turns her head and immediately stops mid-way in her conversation and runs towards him, arms out for a hug.
"Papa!"
He lifted her up, swinging her around in circles as he embraced his daughter, a light laugh escaping both before he puts her down. "Hello my little doe." Edmund pet her hair, fixing the strands that were misplaced after her little merry-go-round spin.
She huffs at the nickname, clearly embarrassed that it's being used when Mr. Sunny was around. "C'mon, you get to meet Mr. Sunny!" At the mention of the name Edmund subconsciously perked up and looked towards the man in question.
He looked exactly as Edmund imagined him to look like yet nothing like the image at all. Without him realizing, he takes in the image of the man before finally speaking, "It's so nice to finally meet you Mr. Sunny, my daughter has said a lot about you." Placing a hand against his lower lip, he gives a soft laugh at his thought. "And your everchanging hair color."
Reminding himself that this was a parent-teacher conference he managed to force Ophelia to wait outside while the two can talk about her without any disruption. It took the promise of icecream on their way home but she left the classroom nonetheless, giving a big wave goodbye to her teacher before closing the door. Leaving the two alone. "I must apologize for being late, some work had abruptly changed my schedule. I hope it didn't inconvenience you that much."
