"Lee Donghyuck!"
Donghyuck rolled his eyes and turned on his heel, painting a fake smile on his face.

"Oh my gosh Jihyo, I did not expect to see you here!" He said using the over enthusiastic voice was famous for. He wasn't called the 'Universities Sunshine boy' for nothing. Apparently Jihyo was having none of Donghyuck's fakeness today.

"Cut the crap Donghyuck." she said. "Why have you been slacking off lately? I've talked to all your professors and you barely attend lectures, and you rarely turn up to work."

"Why do you care?" He responded defensively. As much as he craved attention, Donghyuck disliked people paying too much attention to what he did. He was scared someone might look too close. Jihyo sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose, looking at Donghyuck sadly.

"Donghyuck, it's literally my job to care. I'm your social worker for a reason."

"Well stop, I never wanted your help anyway." He snapped and began to stalk away when he felt a hand grab his bag strap. He twisted and tried to pry the persons hand away but to his dismay they relented.

"I don't think that is how you are supposed to address your social worker Mr Lee."

Donghyuck whipped around to see a tall man looking down at him, still gripping his bag tightly. The man had silver, wire-rimmed glasses that sat precariously on the end of his nose and auburn hair that flopped over his face.

"Who the fuck are you?" Donghyuck hissed.

The man winced lightly at the boy's use of language.

"I'm a social worker who had offered to take over your case, but if you continue to use such language I will make sure that Jihyo is taken off your case, I will not receive it and you will be handed on to someone who really does not care."

Donghyuck's face twisted in confusion. If this man was a social worker wasn't he meant to be nice and friendly to him. He had never been treated so harshly, and was both perplexed and interested in the man before him.

"Moon." Jihyo lightly warned from behind them. "I don't think you should be threatening him."

"Jihyo." the Moon guy said, his gaze never leaving Donghyuck. "I don't think being nice and sweet is going to work. Donghyuck here obviously no longer responds well to people being sweet, he won't listen."

"Isn't rude to make assumptions about people 'Moon'" Donghyuck teased, stressing the name Jihyo had called him.

Moon sighed and let go off Donghyuck and watched as the younger stalked off.

"Why did you change so much Hyuckie?"


Kevin's leg bounced up and down rapidly as he nervously waited outside the head teachers office. Naturally one of his children was the first to be called into the principal's office this school year, the other babysitters had been more than pleased he was facing the teachers first and not them.

"Kevin Moon?"

Kevin looked up upon hearing his name to see the kind lady from reception beckoning him to enter the office. He exhaled anxiously before standing and entering the room. The principal's office was pretty bleak, especially for a primary school teacher. It was painted a harsh white and all the furniture consisted of sharp edges and pointed ends. The head teacher sat staring intently at Kevin as he walked in, but the caregivers focus was on the little boy sitting in front of the desk, swinging his legs and hanging his head low.
