Alena woke up in a hurry. This is the day. The day she has been waiting for has come. She hurriedly got out of her bed and started to call her kids to hurry up. She banged on their doors to wake them up and told them they got thirty minutes to wake up and took a bath while she hurriedly grabbed her towel and proceed to her bathroom to take a bath herself. She was excited and worried at the same time. This could be a new experience for her but at the same time she worried that she might not have enough time to care for her kids for almost a whole week. Actually the event was only two days, but the meeting and the practice before the actual event required her presence as well, so she totally had no idea how long she would stuck there.

She took a shower in a hurry and then proceed to make breakfast and prepared the kids' lunch. She already cooked dinner for tonight last night and kept it in the fridge. She has texted her sister to come to her house later that night to patron her kids for the whole week. She has told her kids repeatedly that she would be busy this week, so she expected them to be responsible for their homework and other school stuff. The kids showed up just in time for their breakfast. When she was their faces, she knew that they were excited as well.

"Are you really going to see them up close?" Her little one started to ask.

"I don't know. I will have the first meeting today, so I will find out more after the meeting," she replied.

"Wowww.. I hope you can see them up close and then probably ask them to come here?" her daughter started to ask another question. She laughed upon hearing her question. "I don't think they would be able to come here. It's not like they are my friends. And they must be very busy. People like them has a tight schedule, so I don't think they would have the time to come here, sweetie," she replied.

Her daughter pouted her lips and sulked a bit but then she started to eat her breakfast. She felt a bit sorry for her.

"Which one do you want to see the most?" she asked her kids.

"I'd like to see Bambam!" her youngest replied quickly.

She laughed hearing her youngest favorite remained the same. He was fond of Bambam for so long for doing crazy stuff. He even tried to do cartwheeling just to copy Bambam when he was still little.

"Maybe Jinyoung?" replied her daughter. Again, her favorite remained the same. Only her oldest seemed unbothered with the conversation as he didn't share the same excitement as his other siblings.

"Will you be able to pick us up later?" his oldest asked.

"No, I don't think so. I don't know how long the meeting will be, so maybe Auntie Thea will pick you up. Do you have plans for after school?"

"No, not today. But the boys are planning to play basketball on Saturday morning. Can I join them?" he asked back.

"As long as you've finished your homework by then, you can play basketball with your friends. Where will you be playing?"

"Dean said we can play at the court at his complex. Can I go there myself? It's only two stations away," he asked.

"Well, you have been there couple times already, so I don't think why not. Just make sure you bring back all your belongings when you get off the MRT," I answered. He's already in secondary school now, so it was safe enough to let him travel alone for short distances. "Just don't forget to text me or Aunt Thea if you're going to be late so we're not worried about you. Is Dean's number still the same?"

"Yeah, his number is still the same."

"Okay then, we're all set. Have you guys finished your breakfast? We have to go now or I will be late if there's traffic," she warned them as she got up and brought her plate to the sink. The kids followed her and hurried up to gather their belongings before cramping the doorway.
