[Neo Zone] Population: 23 Kids

White Board Additions

Jungwoo felt bad about erasing Yuta's drawings on the white board, but it was either those or the list of who was the designated parent of who. And while the whole parent thing had been memorized a long time ago, it still seemed like the more important of the two. 

That didn't stop Jungwoo from wincing as he erased the marker as if he was hurting Yuta by doing it. He could just draw new ones anyways later.

"Alright, I finally managed to get Sungchan's soccer schedule from him. Not even Taeyong and Jaemin know when they volunteer, so I got the list of all the events at every single one of the schools. And I got Ten to write down what days he teaches dance lessons at the studio." Kun announced as he came down the stairs with a small stack of papers in his hands.

"Dance lessons?" Jungwoo tilted his head, never having heard about those until now.

"Yeah, apparently he's been teaching little kids at the studio down the street for almost a year now. I didn't know either."

Kun set down the papers next to Jungwoo, standing back as he watched him carefully draw lines across the board.

"What are you two doing?" Xiaojun mumbled, rubbing his eyes as he woke up from a nap. Except Bella had fallen asleep on his chest, so he wasn't going anywhere for a while.

"Making our lives easier because it's impossible to keep track of us even if we try."

"Jeno's pretty good at it for some reason."

"Yeah, but he's not helpful if he's not here."

Xiaojun gave up at that point, putting his arm under his head so he could see what they were doing from his top bunk. Jungwoo finished with his carefully drawn lines, handing the marker over to Kun so he could fill it in with all the information he had painstakingly gathered.

Jungwoo dragged everyone down when it was finished, looking very filled in even though it wasn't finished. Even Bella, Leon and Louis were gathered around the white board with the boys, waiting for someone to explain what was on there now and why it looked so complicated.

"Because we're all so difficult to keep track of-"

"It's not that hard." Jeno muttered under his breath, earning himself a glare from Kun before he continued.

"Jungwoo and I made a calendar-"

"Oh wow! A calendar! What's that?" YangYang mocked, and Kun almost quit right there and then.

"Let him talk. Faster this is over the faster we can try 23 people in Twister." Hendery spoke up.

"We are not doing 23 people Twister." Doyoung argued, so Mark shrugged.

"Fine, then we'll replace you with Mrs. Suh."

"Guys, let them talk. It's gotta be important if they erased my drawings." Yuta interrupted, quieting the room back down so Kun could finish explaining.

"Thanks. This one's for a weekly basis things. Like if someone's sleeping at their actual house or there's an after school activity. Basically anything we wouldn't normally do. The larger one is by monthly basis. Things like Sungchan's soccer schedule, Ten's dance lessons and when Mark has to go to his Mom's. Anything we normally do and participate in goes on this one."

"Ten has dance lessons?" WinWin asked, causing Ten to sigh.

"I've been teaching dance lessons for almost a year now. How did no one know?"

"If it makes you feel better, I didn't know Taeyong has still been volunteering." Taeil commented, and everyone turned to look at him like he was dumb.

"He's been doing that since he abducted him..." Jaehyun pointed out, and Taeil just shrugged.

"How would I know? I wasn't there."

"Even I knew that." Sungchan said, and Johnny took over before they really started bickering.

"I think this proves why we needed this."

"So are we going to have to update this on our own?" Renjun asked, kind of skeptical of the whole thing.

"No, you just have to click the button on the bottom right and it installs the next update for you." Chenle sassed back, earning himself a headlock until Doyoung stepped in and separated them.

"Do we get to put Skip's schedule on the board too?" Haechan asked innocently, knowing they wouldn't know who Skip was.

"Who's Skip?" Kun asked, and Jaemin sighed.

"Is that the demon in the clock upstairs?" 

YangYang immediately clamped a hand over Jaemin's mouth, checking to see if Renjun had heard. Renjun pretended as if he didn't, still preoccupied with trying to strangle Chenle.

"Can we play 23 person Twister now?" Lucas asked, and Jisung sprang up.

"I'll get the mat!"

Yes, the game mat that was supposed to fit only four players. And only had 24 color dots total to stand on.

"We really shouldn't do this. Someone's going to get hurt." Taeyong spoke up as the kids, especially the younger ones, started getting up and stretching out for the game.

Shotaro turned off his hearing aid, and waved his hands around his head in motions to show he couldn't hear. "Can't hear you."

Jungwoo managed to convince Taeyong to play just by looking at him sweetly, and that's how the rest of them ended up playing. The fact that no one died in the end was a miracle in itself.
