Jungkook
"Oh my goodness, you did soooo good today Sehu!" I smile widely at the young boy, while giving him a high five.The first thing you always have to do when teaching dance is making sure to give them confidence. Confidence is key. It'll boost your self esteem and make you more comfortable. As a child, my grandpa always believed in me; bought me dance shoes, took me to classes, went to every competition. That's why I'm here now. Doing the thing I love most.

"Really?" He shyly looks at his green sketcher. His soft, small voice filled with nervousness.

"Of course! Do you want me to let you in on a little secret?" I excitedly whisper with a big smile. His head nods slightly. I crouch down to become his size, and grab his cold, petite hands in my warm, large ones. "You're one of the best dancers I've ever seen."

His big, brown eyes fill with joy. "You're lying!" He pokes my cheek, giggling. I quickly put my hand over my heart.

"You really think I'm lying? I can't believe you would ever think I'd do that to you," I clutch my chest, pretending to be heart broken by the little boy. "I'm hurt by you, Sehu."

"No, Mr. Jungkook! I know you'll never lie to me," he cheeses so hard, his eyes disappear. I can't wait to have a kid this cute.

"Mhm, I don't know if I believe you," I rub my chin as if I'm thinking. I love playing around with Sehu. Out of all the kids, we've the closets bond. Of course I love all the other toddlers, they're all like my kids, but Sehu reminds me most about myself. Quiet and shy. He needs someone to help get out of that shell, help him explore the world more. And I want to be the one to leads him.

"If I believe you about me being one of the best dancers you've ever seen, will you believe me you're not a liar?" He offers me his hand wanting to strike a deal. I hesitate to grab shake, but in the end I do.

"Deal," I shake his hand chuckling.

"Sehu? Oh, there you are!" His mother walks quickly to us. Sehu, definitely, got most of his looks from his mom. They both have big brown eyes and a soft, comforting smile. "We have to go honey!" She grabs his hand and looks at me with a grateful smile. "Thank you for taking care of him and teaching him dance."

He, also, got her sweetness. There isn't a day where she doesn't thank me for showing her son how to dance. It really warms my heart knowing I'm doing something good for some one else.

"You have to stop," I chuckle. "I love doing it."

"Still, thank you," she bows. "Now, let's go," they start walking away before Sehu turns around and yells, "Also, tell Tae I said 'Hi!'"

"I won't forget." All the kids here know Tae. They love just as much as he loves them. He goes on trips with us, he brings us snacks, he cheers us on; he's always here when he can be. I'm more happier when he's around me. He even helps the kids with their dancing, since he's good at it. The children fell in love with his bubbly personality and charming looks, just as I have.

He makes the toddlers laugh so hard, they fall. And that's why I love him; he's just so genuine and lovable.

Now that I think of it, he came to the studio four days ago with snacks, and before that, he came to our competition, and before that, he came just because he wanted to see us. Whenever there is even a little window of time, he quickly comes over.

I sigh while picking up my bag, ready to leave. I'm the bad guy. I scold him for not being here enough but he is. He's always here, and I still get mad at him. I don't visit him at his work, he wants me to, but I don't. It's not my type of environment. Yet, I see him here creating bonds with these children every week.
