"Yah...they can't get enough of her." One of the volunteers mumbled with a smile ghosting his lips, the sight just as adorable as any other day. He knew the female hybrid well, after all, they've mingled on many occasions these past two years.

"You know how much the kits love her!" Mrs. Ahn giggled with a wave of her pruney fingers, a gleam of pure adoration filling her pupils as she gazed at the giggling female who played with the many little hybrids. "We're so glad to have her."

"Got that right." He shook his head with a tiny smile as he walked over to the bundles of joy who had the time of their lives messing with the woman. A total of five kits surrounded her figure on the ground, two climbing atop her stomach while others played beside her, one scenting her neck. The sight was utterly adorable to anyone who'd so happen to witness it. "Save some for the rest of us?" He announced, voice dripping with sarcasm.

Her attention turned towards the male that towered over them, playfully rolling her eyes at his words. "Maybe if you were cuter they'd like you Chan." She shrugged lazily before chastely pecking the head of a Beagle hybrid, who was all up on her neck. The little hybrid's nose felt cold against her skin as she continuously inhaled and sighed, small hands wrapped around her neck.

"So you're saying I'm not cute?" Chan scoffed lightly before scanning his eyes around the area, soon finding his target. "Suzy! Don't you think I'm a cutie patootie?" He crouched down on the carpeted floor with his arms spread out wide towards the confused sugar glider hybrid. She cutely held up a toy block as she innocently stared up at him.

"You not cute. Sunhee cute." Suzy grinned widely before turning back towards her blocks. The sounds of exaggerated laughter echoed from Sunhee's figure as Chan slumped defeatedly, a lazy smile still tugging at his lips.

"That answers your question doesn't it Chan?" With a final giggle, Sunhee led a gentle hand through the soft locks of the Beagle hybrid, voice lowering drastically. "Bora-ah, it's time for Sunhee to go now." The other kits surrounding her easily heard her words, resulting in pained whines and 'awwws' as the other four reluctantly left her crowded body.

But the one that clung to her neck remained, and it surprised no one. Bora was the most clingy to the older woman, and it was always a challenge trying to separate her. Especially since the younger knew she wouldn't see her for another full week. 

"Bora-ah...your parents are waiting for you. Don't you want to see them after a super long day?" Sunhee cooed softly, not minding the few that stared at the scene—including Bora's parents. Even on weekends they were extremely busy, so it's noted that Bora practically lives at the daycare center. Departing from Bora never failed to squeeze her heart in the worst ways.

The clingy hybrid reluctantly pulled back from the pleasant embrace, soft features sorrowfully staring up at Sunhee. The latter smiled down at her, pushing loose strands behind her ear. "I'll see you soon?" She held up her pinky finger, to which Bora easily mimicked, latching them together.

"I'll see you soon Unnie." Bora mumbled quietly, leaving one last lick to her scent gland before crawling off, using those tiny feet to run to her parents. They both gave Sunhee a somber smile before saying their farewells and leaving.

"Gosh, should I just start coming in on Saturday too?" Sunhee announced to no one in particular as she stood to her feet, stretching a bit in the process.

"Now Sunhee. I've told you we're packed with volunteers on Saturday." Mrs. Ahn chuckled sweetly before patting her shoulder. This only resulted in the younger groaning in frustration, sending a quick glare over to a snickering Chan.
