3.8

     [Troublemaker]

     I woke up in the morning to a banging sound at the door. God, who could possibly annoy me so early in the morning!? I walked to the door while scratching my head in tiredness. But my eyes soon widened as I realized who was there.

     "I'm looking for Xiaohua. Is she here?"

     It was Dooyoung's mom. And Jun. "Uh, I think she's sleeping, I'll go-" He turned around, giving me a smile. "She," He pointed at Dooyoung's mom, "wants to see you." I came back to my senses. I'm supposed to babysit Dooyoung today! I ran to her, closing the door behind me. "Is that your boyfriend?" She asked with a teasing smile. "Uh- No- I mean," God, I'm a stuttering mess. She handed me Dooyoung, bidding her goodbyes. So much for shopping.

     I scratched my head while slowly walking back into the apartment. Jun's expression looked a bit surprised. "Who's that?" Dooyoung pointed. "Um... My friend." I led Dooyoung to the couch while Jun sat next to him. I had no idea he slept over last night. God, Xiaohua, pull yourself together!

     "Where should we go today, Dooyoungie?" I said while fixing my t-shirt. He thought for a second before pointing a finger up. "My mom said she went to a county fair with her boyfriend. I want to go there." I smiled at that, lending a hand out and heading for the door. "Wait for me!" Jun yelled from the bathroom. "You're coming!?" I shouted back. He said something, but I couldn't catch it. I guess we've got to wait then.

     "Alright, let's get going." I said as we walked out of my apartment. I pulled out my phone to check the directions of the county fair. "God, this is gonna take a while." I complained, shaking my head in disappointment. "Should we just take the bus?" Jun suggested. I nodded, searching up the nearest bus stop. We still have about 8 hours anyway.

     "Noona, I'm tired..." Dooyoung said while laying on my shoulder. How adorable. "Okay, take a nap then. So that when you wake up-" He snored which cut off my sentence, causing a smile to creep onto my face. Am I that boring? I checked my phone for the time. 12:17. Usually at this time, kids should be very energetic. Hm.

     We arrived at our stop, but I was stuck in my seat with two sleeping boys on my shoulders. Not sure if I'm in heaven or hell right now. I tapped Jun's head slightly, whispering in his ear. "Jun, wake up now~" He scrunched his nose slightly, signaling to me that he was awake. Hopefully he doesn't see me blushing through this mask.

     Instead of waking Dooyoung up, I decided to carry him while me and Jun walked around the place for a bit. "Hey, Xiaohua." Jun called. I turned my head toward him. "Yeah?" I questioned in a whisper, trying not to wake Dooyoung. "You wake me up but not him? Now that's unfair." He rubbed his eyes in tiredness, pointing at Dooyoung. I slapped him lightly. "Dooyoung is a kid!" Oops, I might have said that a little too loud. Because before I knew it, Dooyoung was fully awake and ready to start playing some games.

     First, bumper cars. Me and Dooyoung shared one, while Jun went alone. "Let's chase Jun!" I yelled while driving the bumper car toward him. Dooyoung let out giggles while Jun shouted in fear. "Ahh!" Our car bumped into his, which meant we won. "Haha!" Dooyoung laughed, bragging to Jun that we beat him. He let out a defeating sigh. "You guys are too good."

     "C'mon, Xiaohua!" Jun yelled, Dooyoung on his back. "God, why are you guys running?" I whined while panting. "Ice cream!" Dooyoung exclaimed. I should really start working out. I haven't even been running for 5 minutes, yet I'm already tired. Gosh.

     I sat on a swing, occasionally taking a lick off my ice cream and watching Jun and Dooyoung play at the park. "AHHH!!! MONSTER!!" Dooyoung shouted, referring to Jun who was chasing after him. "I'm coming to get you~!" Jun yelled back in a funny deep voice. I smiled at their playfulness. What a great childhood. Too bad mine was ruined.
