“Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!”

A high pitched scream broke out and Nara and the boys quickly ran to the playroom since they were outside hanging the kids’ finger paintings to dry, while the Little continued to make their masterpiece on the plastic covered floor.

Renjun, XiaoJun, Mark, Sungchan, Chenle and Jisung were the Littles on that day and Lucas, Ten, YangYang, Jaemin, Jaehyun and Winwin volunteered to help Nara with the boys.

“I TOLD YOU NOT TO PAINT ON MY PAPER!!” The scream continued with a whimper as the 7 of them entered, just to see Renjun crying and was about to hit XiaoJun with his green coloured hand before Jaemin and Winwin pulled them apart.

“Dede... What happened?” Asked Nara while the 5 years old just shrugged. She sighed and turned to the oldest of the Littles, who were  standing there, looking confused. “Minmin... Can you tell 누나 what happened with Junnie and Dede?” Mark blinked and nodded.

“Dede painted on Junnie’s paper when he was out of paper to paint on.” The toddler recalled, making the caregiver to sigh. “Junnie told him to stop, but he didn’t and then Junnie screamed.” Nara thanked Mark for explaining and let him continue on his painting with Jaehyun before turning to confront the crying 4 years old and silent mischief 5 years old.

Jaemin cleaned Renjun’s hands with a wet napkin as he cried, while Winwin cleaned XiaoJun’s. After they were done, Nara let Jaemin to take Renjun to their room to calm him down as she went to question XiaoJun, keeping the two distanced for awhile.

“Dede...” She calmly called the 5 years old as he was sitting with Winwin while playing with his Dino plushie before swiftly looking up at her. “Dede, look at me.” He pouted and looked at her as his eyes started to tear up.

“What did 姐姐 told you about messing with Junnie? Do you remember what姐姐said about teasing him?” She softly asked and he slowly nodded. “Can you tell me what was it?”

“Don’t tease him since he is younger than me.” XiaoJun answered and sniffled as tears started to stream down his chubby cheeks. Nara nodded and gestured for him to continue. “Always be nice to him and don’t fight.”

“Then why did you painted on his paper when he told you to stop? Dede... What you did is not nice. Will you like if the other painted on your painting too?” He shook his head and wiped away his tears. “Are you going to apologize to Junnie then?”

“No.” XiaoJun replied as he shook his head. “Dede asked for paper from Junnie, but he won’t give Dede any.”

“Why didn't you ask from 姐姐or Ten哥 or the other哥哥?” Nara asked and he shrugged. The caregiver sighed and shook her head. “Are you going to apologize for painting on Junnie’s painting then?” Again, the toddler shook his head.

Nara stared at the stubborn young boy and got up from the floor before taking off her apron. The members and the other Littles just stared at her as she went to hang the apron back it’s hook and grabbed her sling bag.

“If Dede don’t want to apologize to Junnie, then 누나 is going to quit her job.” She announced and bowed slightly. “Goodbye.” With that, she walked out the room and closed the door.

The room became silent as no one dare to make a sound. Moments later, Jaemin came out from the room carrying calmed Renjun was confused by the sudden quietness.

“형...Why everyone no make sound?” Renjun asked as he was confused as well while Jaemin just shrugged. “Where’s 姐姐?” He noticed the female wasn’t there and looked around for her.
