"Taekook?"
"Here."
"Namjin?"
"Here."
"SunSun?"
"Heeree!"
"Woosan?"
"Heere."
"I know Jinhyun's here. JenLisa?"
"Teehee. Here!"

Minho looks away from his roster and glances at the children. They all sit neatly at the table with their hands in their laps in quiet. The older continues and the kids start whispering.

"JenLisa?"
"Hi!"
"WinNing?"
"Here."
"Ryeji?"
"Heereeee!"
"Minqi?"
"Hiyaaa!", she giggles.

"Ok. If we're not gonna say here then we can forget nap time."
"Nooo!", they all said.

"Then focus. And lastly we have "Najeong."
"Yes sirree."

"Since everyone is here who wants to learn numbers?"
"We do!!"

"Great. We'll start with one through ten in Korean.", he writes the numbers on the board. "So who knows the first one?"

Namjin was quick to raise his hand.
"Yes, Namjin?"
"하나!"(han-na)

"Correct. Next one."
Namjin raises his hand again.
"Does anyone else know?"

"Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!", Namjin jumps up and down as the rest of them sit in silence.

"JenLisa, do you know the answer?"
"Yess."

"Tell me."
"Uhm....hmmmm...둘?"(dul)
"Good job. Oh I forgot. Those who answer get ice cream."

Everyone gasped in shock.
"I want ice cream."
"Me two!"
"I do! I do!"

"Shh shh shh!", Minho shushes. "If you all want ice cream answer the questions. Ok?"

"Wat if I don't know anser?", asked WinNing.

"As long as you try then soon you'll achieve great things. Now let's continue."

After their math lesson it was snack time and Minho sits at his desk with his feet up to lie back. He places a book on his face for darkness so he could close his eyes. The kids talked quietly amongst themselves while eating. Two of the female teachers walked by and one looked in the room.

"Yah. Look. What kind of teacher is he? He's not even watching them.", one whispered.

"But the children are doing fine."
"For now. What if something happens?", she turns the doorknob.

"What are you doing?"
"To say something to this rookie."

She walks in and the kids looked at her. "Don't mind me. I just need to talk with your teacher."

"She's scawy.", Ryeji said and hides behind Minqi. Namjin stands up and blocks the women then Taekook follows.

"No one pass."
"Yea he is sleeps."
"He isn't supposed to be sleeping. He should be watching you."

The other kids join in not allowing the women to get to him. Minho sits up and placed the book down.

"Who disturbs me?"
"That lady Meeno.",Woosan points.
"And you are?"

"Mr. Lee, I am your colleague."
"..."
"My class is next door."

"Not ringing a bell."
"Ms. Katsumi. We've met before."
"Hmm. Did we?"

"Mr. Lee I came because you need to be watching the children. Sleeping at your desk is not being responsible."

"They're fine. Aren't you guys?"
"Yeah! We be ok!", they all agreed.
"See? So no problem. Now off you go."

She grunts and leaves the room.
"What an ignorant man."
"Are you ok?"

"No I'm not ok. How can anyone like him? If he's with somebody, god bless their heart."

"Good job everybody. For stopping the intruder you've all earned yourself an ice cream.", Minho told.

"YAYY!!"

As nap time began they all fall asleep on the mattress pad the older laid out for them. Minho does some work when Najeong comes up to him and taps his leg.

"Meeno?"
"What's wrong little one."
"My mama said I can't eat ice cweam."

"Why's that?"
"She say it make me sick."

"I see.", he picks her up and sat her on his leg. "What would you like as a treat?"

"Can I have candy?"
"A lollipop?"
"Ooh. Yeah that please."

"Ok then. Thanks for telling me."
"You wel...well.."
"Welcome."

"Welcome.", she hops off his lap and lays down next to Jinhyun.

Before it was time to leave Minho collected the kid's papers after they worked on their own about the numbers one through ten that they learned. When they all left he checks their work then noticed something written on the back of SunsSun's paper. It read 'Meeno is best' in not so good handwriting but Minho could still read it. He checks Taekook's paper and it said the same on the back. He flips the rest of the papers over and realized the kids had all written the same thing which made him smile.

"Silly gooses."

On Jinhyun's it said best uncle too. He keeps them in a special drawer along with other things he got from them that were special. Jisung knocks on the door.

"Ready?"

"Yup."
"Good. Cause this baby isn't gonna feed itself.", he rubs his stomach.

The older grabs his things and walks out then locks the door.
"What would y'all like?"

"Honestly anything."
"I can make something that's filling so you won't be eating for five people."

"I'm not eating for five. It's only been two months."
Minho assists him in the car. "And you're still working."

"I can still move without a problem. Don't worry."
"I trust you'll take a break when you need it?"

"I will." They share a kiss then make their way home.
