"T-Hi!"

Eunbyul's eyes widened as soon as she heard Doyoung mention the content for the day. She looked around, noticing that everyone seemed to know what was going on. Well, she could've taken the hint since they came into a daycare-looking place and the prompter showed what Doyoung was going to say.

But still ... babysitting?

"Wait, you are making us take care of children? Is that legal?" The words spilled out of Eunbyul's mouth before she could hold back as she looked at the staff for an answer.

"Yeah, is legal for a baby to be babysitting other babies?" Doyoung added, making the boys laugh. But it wasn't because of his smooth words, rather the reaction Eunbyul had to it.

Her surprise was thrown out the window at his words, pulling a blank expression as she looked at him, seeming completely done with him. As if something just hit her, she turned towards the camera, realizing she was being recorded and gave Doyoung a fake laugh, pretending to like Doyoung's joke.

As everyone expressed their fondness and expertness with kids, Eunbyul seemed dazed, not having any idea on what she was supposed to do. Her frown was visible, and the staff questioned her feelings before the kids arrived.

"I don't think I have come across a little kid my whole life. Like someone who is way younger than me. So, I am a little scared because I don't know what to do," she confessed, being completely honest.

Asahi tilted his head in confusion. "Don't your brothers have kids?" He inquired, pretty sure about the news he heard — in fact, Eunbyul was the one who told him when her sisters-in-law got pregnant.

"Yes, but I haven't met them yet." She pouted as the boys had widened eyes. "Daichi-kun's daughter is almost one. And Sunghan-oppa's son is just seven months." She turned towards Jaehyuk who covered his face at her words.

"I, uh, met Sunghan-hyung's son ... two months after he was born." And if his confession wasn't a shocker, Haruto added to it. "I also met Daichi-kun's daughter when I went for a visit a while back."

Eunbyul sighed loudly, slowly blinking as she turned to the cameras. "Like I said, I haven't interacted with a kid who is younger than me before." She covered the slight guilt she felt, already knowing the two had visited her brother's families.

Jaehyuk and Haruto had come back with pictures, excitedly showing Eunbyul her niece and nephew, not knowing how badly she wanted to go visit them — but circumstances were such that she simply couldn't get the approval for a vacation or visit, and thus, couldn't visit them.

The kids came in one after the other, each of them only getting cuter. Just as Haruto and Asahi were taking Eunseo from her mother, the last child came in, jumping excitedly as his mother tried to control him.

Eunbyul covered her mouth, looking over at Asahi for help. "Oh, what should I do? What should I do?" She held onto his sleeve, too scared to approach the child.

Asahi and Haruto found the youngest's reactions as adorable as the kids, advising her on how to approach the child and questions to ask the children's parent.
