"Yoogeun, are we there yet?" the supposed-to-be-chaperone asked the kid who was ironically leading the way to his school. "Why are you in a hurry? There's still time before your class, right?" she questioned as she was dragged by the hand by the little kid.

"Noona, if we come early, I can still show you around my school!" The student kept on jumping and hopping as he could not contain his excitement and his overflowing energy. Good thing that Sulli could still get hold of his hand.

As the two walked on the steep streets of Ihwa-dong, the neighborhood where Yoogeun's school and the Chois' apartment belong, Sulli feasted her eyes on the colorful murals on every wall. Different painted images ranging from dandelions, cartoon characters, and abstract paintings could be seen on the outdoor exhibit.

"We're here!" Yoogeun announced that they already reached their destination, making Sulli jolt, still amazed at the wonderful views of different artworks of the neighborhood.

The school wasn't really particularly big. There are several classrooms for the kindergarten and the school offices, and an outdoor space that seemed to be used to accommodate special school events.

"Where's your classroom, by the way?" Sulli asked the enthusiastic kid who was still dragging her arm. They happened to meet a lady who appeared to be one of the teachers, carrying some papers and folders.

"Good morning, Teacher Seohyun!" Yoogeun greeted the lady with the familiar energy he always had.

"Good morning, Yoogeun!" Seohyun bowed slightly to meet the short height of the kid.

"Noona, noona, she is Teacher Seohyun." Yoogeun told Sulli. "And Teacher, she is Sulli-noona," the kid introduced his teacher as well.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Sulli." Seohyun smiled and offered her right hand for a handshake. "I am their section's homeroom teacher."

"Nice to meet you too, Ms. Seohyun." Sulli accepted her approach and shaked her hand.

"By the way, this is the first time I'm seeing you, Ms. Sulli. Mrs. Heenam usually brings Yoogeun to school. May I know your relation with Yoogeun?" the poised teacher asked politely.

"Umm, I'm actually their..."

"Noona is hyung's girlfriend!" Yoogeun suddenly butted in the ladies' conversation.

"Oh, that's good to hear! Minho is a good man, I'm telling you." Seohyun flashed a smile.

"Oh no, no, no!" Sulli glared at Yoogeun. "Yoogeun, it's not nice to interrupt other people when they're talking."

Sulli went back on her talk with Seohyun. "I'm sorry, he's just joking. Umm, you can say that I'm his brother's acquaintance." She laughed nervously.

"Oh, alright." Seohyun smiled once again. "Ms. Sulli, it's really nice to meet you. By the way, I have to go now," she uttered, ending their small conversation. "And Yoogeun, please go now to your classroom. Classes are about to start."

"Oh sure, nice meeting you too." Sulli returned her smile with a smile too.

Walking at the busy sidewalks of the business area of Seoul, Sulli remembered her conversation with her boss.

"Hey, I would just like to inform you that Yoogeun has classes tomorrow. As a part of your work, you will be also taking him to school and fetching him from there, is that clear?"

Sulli nodded. "Ok, that's fine with me. Anyway, I know that I can't stay here forever and forever be working for you, so I decided to try looking for a job tomorrow."
