mj's POV
"military consent forms?" i hear chenle asking ms. han.
"show it to your parents... if you all decide to go through with it, you need their signature." she explains.
"and if you don't go through with it?" iseul questions.
"i believe that the school will enroll you in remote classes." ms. han claims.
"more details will come out later, i'm sorry to have put you all in the situation..." she sighs. "i don't know a lot, myself. but we all just need to keep doing what we have been doing... don't worry."
i stay quiet, thinking inside my head— as per usual.
why are they doing something about it now. the spheres have been here for a year—
has something happened?

"i'm home~" i announce as i walk into the small house i share with my eomma and halmeoni. (mother and grandmother)
"we are in here, sweetie." my mom's voice shouts out from the kitchen.
when i arrive in the doorway, i see her and my grandma both cutting vegetables and preparing a ton of food.
"what's all of the food for?" i raise my brow in confusion.
"we will be delivering some food to the little ones and their mothers at the daycare center tomorrow." my mom explains.
i nod my head at her statement. "did you see the news?" i ask her while sitting down by my grandma to help with the cutting.
"yes, dear... i did." my mom sighs softly.
"minha came by after we saw it. she said something happened at one of the sites. she's going to be assigned somewhere— probably for a while..." she explains with sadness.
"but she was supposed to be here for her break... if she is being assigned again that means we won't see her for months." you say with sorrow.
"i know honey. but you can still send letters like you always do." she tries to lighten the mood.
you sigh heavily before nodding in agreement and smiling softly.
"are you going to enlist, dear?" my grandma quietly asks in the silence.
"i don't know yet." i reply genuinely.
"i think your sister would probably be against it, but it really is up to you to decide." mom insists. "i'll support you with whichever you choose."

"good morning everyone. please take your seats." ms. han walks into the room.
