"noona! my cousin is picking me up today!" one of the boys exclaimed as he stared out the window. "there he is!" he yelled and almost slammed his face against the window.

you laughed, "go get your stuff then. do you want to bring your painting home?" you asked him, looking at the dining table where some pictures were.

"can i leave it here? we can make it even better next week!" the boy exclaimed and ran into the kitchen.

all of a sudden, the boy hit the table by accident, causing water cups to spill.

"hey! my painting!" one of the girls cried out.

"it's okay! you can make another one!" one of the older boys said as another girl grabbed the nearby paper towels.

then, the doorbell rang. you quickly went to the front door and saw a familiar face from the windows.

you unlocked the door and opened it. "hi," seungcheol spoke up with a gummy smile on his face.

"hi, lifeguard," you greeted.

"hey, my name's seungcheol. remember?" he replied to your greeting. "gonna tell me your name yet?"

"surprised no one's told you yet. maybe i will," you said with a smile. "so you're b/n's cousin?" you asked.

"we just call each other that. i go to school with his older sisters and brothers," he mentioned. "b/n, hyung is here!" he announced, stepping inside.

"wait! i have to help clean up!" the boy replied.

"close the door behind you," you instructed and went back into the kitchen, where the kids were cleaning up the spilt water cups that had various colors from the paint. "go pack up, you don't want to keep your cousin waiting," you instructed the boy. "you guys, go wash your hands. you guys have paint all over them," you instructed the other kids. they immediately left to go wash their hands either in the kitchen sink or the nearby bathroom sink.

"here."

you looked up and saw seungcheol standing next to you with the paper towel roll in his hand. you took it from him and tore some more sheets off.

"thanks," you replied and continued drying the table. you dropped some more sheets onto the floor, letting them soak the paint.

"hyung! look at my picture!" his cousin exclaimed, pulling seungcheol is the side of the table where water hadn't reached yet.

"woah! this looks so cool!" seungcheol responded. "go wash your hands. your mom isn't gonna be happy if she sees paint all over you," he said to the boy.

"okay!"

"y/n unnie, do we have time to make more pictures? mine's all ruined," one of the girls frowned as she walked back over.

"we might have to wait next week. your dad should be here soon," you said to her, patting her head. "how about we color for a bit since that isn't as messy?" you suggested.

she nodded her head and proceeded to go into the living room. the other girl followed her while you noticed the other boy walking through the hall.

"so your name's y/n?" seungcheol asked.

you noticed him drying some of the table for you.

"yea, boring, am i right?" you replied to him and crouched down to wipe the floor, making sure it was dry before standing up and tossing the used paper towels into trash can.

"i like it. it suits you," he replied and also threw away the used paper towels.

you put the roll down on the table while seungcheol pushed the chairs in.

"gonna pick up b/n next week?" you asked him.

"got a shift at the pool. we still haven't closed for the season," he mentioned. "why?"

you shrugged, "maybe i'll bring the kids if the weather is warm enough for swimming."

seungcheol grinned, "are you just trying to see me shirtless again or something?" he asked.

"maybe i just need or want to see if anyone will take me on a date or something," you pondered.

"how about friday after school?" he suggested.

"how about five o'clock? i have to finish something," you suggested.

"how about i pick you up from your school?" he suggested again, both of you smiling at each other.

"unnie," you looked over and saw the kids peeking into the kitchen from the living room, "is he your boyfriend yet?" the older girl loudly whispered to you.

you smiled and looked back at seungcheol, "we'll see."
