seungcheol's p.o.v:

"gather in everyone"
I motion the kids to move forward.
they gather around me and I pat the closest on the head.
"what's happening seungcheol-oppa"
questions one of the smallest kids in the pack.
"we are getting a new member in today to help me take care of you guys"
I state and the small group of kids start smiling, some even jumping.
"am I not good enough that you want someone else so much?"
I question with a fake pout and a chorus of 'no' comes from the children.
one kid says yes and I whip my head around.
"who said that?!"
I shout pretending to stomp like a monster.
everyone points out the smallest child and I run after him.
"jihoon, you little rascal"
I laugh as I chase after the tiny kid.
he's screaming at the top of his lungs
I grab him and ruffle his hair viscously.
immediately the door opens and I look at the door to see a girl?
a really pretty girl at that.
I let go of jihoon and begin walking to the door.
"what brings you here?"
I say kindly with a welcoming smile.
as I get closer I realise this "girl" is in fact not a girl.
"ah hi, I'm the new helper for this childcare, did I come to the wrong one?"
he asks and I shake my head.
"no don't worry, we have been expecting a new recruit, hello I'm seungcheol please come in"
I gesture for him to move through the door and he bows and enters.
"come over kids, we have our new member"
I call for the kids and they rush over excitedly.
I lean into the man and whisper.
"please introduce yourself"
the man nods and clears his throat.
"hello kids, I am indeed the new person on the job, my name is yoon jeonghan, please take care of me"
he finishes with a small bow and the kids whisper their opinions more loudly then they should.
"woah she is really pretty"
"she looks like an angel"
jeonghan smiles and then chuckles a bit.
"I get this a lot so I'm used to it, but please keep in mind that I'm not a girl, I am a boy"
the kids gasp and jihoon shoots his hand up.
"yes jihoon"
I nod his way.
"if your a boy, how come you're so pretty?"
jihoon asks and jeonghan chuckles while I harshly tap jihoon's head.
"anyone else got any IMPORTANT questions they'd like to ask"
I emphasise 'IMPORTANT' and the kids look at each other and shrug.
"well then let's begin the day"
I clap my hands together and jeonghan taps my shoulder.
I look at him.
"do I need to sign anything or do I just start?"
"nah, this is a small centre so we aren't too professional and picky when it comes to hiring, you just got to show me that to work with the kids well by the end of this week"
I smile to help him not feel stressed about the new job.
he nods and follows me over to the children.
I bend down to the kids level.
"now kids, let's show the newbie how things work around here shall we?"
I wink at the kids and stand up.
jihoon starts off by grabbing jeonghan by the hand and racing over to every section of the small room with a stumbling jeonghan behind him.
jihoon tells jeonghan about every part of the place.
"and this is where we take our naps at exactly 3:00"
jihoon says cutely and jeonghan smiles.
"thank you for the welcoming tour little one"
jeonghan straightens his back and the kids gather around him.
he realises this and sits on the ground to be at their height.
"can I touch you hair?"
jeonghan turns around to find a kid resting on his shoulder with white, straight hair.
jeonghan covers his mouth to laugh quietly and nods.
the kid strokes the smooth brown hair and widens his eyes.
"my goodness it's so soft!"
he shouts really loudly as I walk back over.
"seungkwan, quiet down a bit okay?"
I tap his shoulder and the kid covers his mouth.
soon every kid is touching jeonghan's hair and gasping.
I apologise to jeonghan but he shakes his palms at me.
"no, no it's fine"
jeonghan smiles at me.
"okay shall we begin with a song?"
I ask.
"YES!"
the kids shout at me.
"oh you guys sing here, that's so cute!"
jeonghan says, patting a kids head.
"do you mind?"
I ask jeonghan and he shakes his head.
"no, in fact, I love to sing"
jeonghan beams and I smile.
"well great!"
I clap my hands together and the kids shout excitedly.
