Full Moon

Chapter 7: A little help

3rd POV

"And where do you think you're going, Missy?"

Issy flinched and stopped her movements. She turned around and saw Ayla leaning on the wall with her arms crossed. Her eyebrows raised with a tiny smile curved up her lips.

"Play... outside?" Issy smiled sheepishly. Even if she tiptoed her way out and made zero noise, Ayla would always catch her sneaking.

Ayla glanced at the wall clock and looked back at her.

"At this hour in the morning?" She asked. Issy pouted and clasped her hands in front of her.

Ayla sighed and walked toward her. She kneeled on her knee and cupped Issy's cheeks. She raised her head slowly and looked her in the eye.

"You know what?" Ayla said when she saw fakeness swirling in the little girl's eyes. Issy smiled toothily.

"Pretty pleeeeease~" she begged with puppy eyes. This time she made sure it would work. She badly wanted to go out already and hang out with her best friend.

Ayla smiled softly at her before standing up and holding her hand. "C'mon. Let's go." She pushed open the door and left with Issy. "I'm putting my trust in you Issy. Do not talk to strangers okay? Do you understand?" She asked when they reached the playground. She squatted down and held her arms.

Issy smiled and saluted at Ayla. "Ma'am yes, ma'am!" She giggled. She wrapped her arms around Ayla's neck and kissed her cheek before joining in with the other kids.

Ayla watches her as she laughs with her playmates before looking around and making sure no suspicious being is lurking around near the children. After that, she went back and woke the others up.

They opened up the cafe and started the day. Hoping nothing like what happened yesterday happens again.

Jungkook slammed his hand on the digital alarm, making the irritating loud sound stop. He sat up and glanced at the clock.

7:00 a.m.

He stood up and did his morning routines. He cooked a light breakfast and ate quickly, washing the dishes after. He went out and checked his wristwatch: 7:30

"Should I go there or not?" He asked himself. He thought long about it until it drifted to yesterday's events.

He frowned when he recalled the ugly rich man's face. As soon as he saw the man about to punch Jimin, he reacted quickly and caught the man's fist.

He wasn't surprised by his actions, in fact, he had an idea of what this feeling might be. But he chose to ignore it and avoid it.

He reached the park and his eyes naturally searched for that long wavy chestnut brown hair.

"Mr. Bench!!" Khali shouted. Jungkook spotted her running towards him from the playground. He opened his arm and lifted her. She giggled as they walked towards their bench.

"You know, I almost got a job yesterday." He began.

"You did?"

"Yeah. Unfortunately and sadly, I was turned down."

"Awww. Why?"

He shrugged his shoulders while scratching his head. "Bad luck?"

Khalisee patted his shoulder. "Let me introduce you to my uncle? Maybe he could hire you. He owns a cafe." She suggested.

Jungkook shook his head. "It's fine Khali, you don't have to. Besides, I get a feeling they'll accept me soon if I prove myself." He said.
