"Now hyunjin, I thought I told you that you need to be completing your workbook each night? What happened? We made a deal remember?".

The teacher asks the boy who held his arms behind his back, pouting while looking to the floor. He was so glad Woojin mentioned this silently as his father began leaving. He'd be dead if his father found out he went home and didn't do a thing Woojin said.

"Woojin nim it's so boring I don't want to read. Do I have to?".

Hyunjin pouts again while curling his bottom lips glaring up at Woojin. The older man's heart could burst into flames. But Hyunjin was his student, he couldn't spoil him like a father would. So he had to teach him as such. He had to admit, it was a pain to be unable to.

Minho waits for his father to continue down the hallway with Jeongin. He made sure Woojin kept his eyes on Hyunjin, scolding him about something else. As soon as Chan strolls out of the entrance doors Minho darts down the hallway and pokes his head into his brothers' classroom. He was grateful that the kids were playing and Jinyoung was carefully watching them but evidently not watching the doorway.

Minho eyes jisung who sits with his legs crossed and hands in his lap, fiddling with a train. He looked so sad and helpless Minho just wanted to pick the boy up and coddle him. Nevertheless he snaps his fingers once, twice, and it was three times before jisung notices his older brother peeking through the door.  Jisung takes a swift look at jinyoung before waving his hand excitedly at Minho.

"Who is she?".

Minho mouthed and gratefully jisung got the memo. His blonde hair sweeps past his eyes as he looks around for her. He spots her in another corner with a colorful rug amongst friends. Jisung looks at Minho and points accordingly. Minho nods his head in approval happy to now have a face to his target. He gives Jisung a thumbs up. He turned to go back to his classroom before he stopped himself. His heart was wrenching and he knew why.

He peeked once more at jisung, the younger immediately making eye contact with his brother.

"You okay?".

Minho asks now putting two thumbs up in a questionable manner. Jisung nods and smiles. He was fine now since his brother came to check on him. Minho nodded again and turned on his heels. That was, before a kid began speaking to him.

"Hey! Who are you?".

Minho gave the little boy a disgusted look. He had snot strings spilling down his nostrils and he was consistently wiping them with the sleeves of his shirt. Why did kids have to be so disgusting sometimes?

"Your dad. Now go wipe your nose".

He quipped before racing down the hallway back to his own classroom.

"Hey man don't mess with my girl".

Lucas scolded changbin, who only reached on the shelf to fetch her a book she asked for. Changbin gave him a deadpan.

"I don't want your girl I don't even like girls".

He quoted with his arms up in surrender. Lucas smirked before bursting out in a giggle, his doughy cheeks meeting the sides of his eyes.

"Oh yeah? Then what do you like? Boys?".

"No you little rat stop laughing at me".

Changbin pouted only a little. He hated being ridiculed and being taken the wrong way.

"Hey guys we are going to start our work time in a few minutes. Don't forget to move your mood car. Changbin what's wrong?".
