Cg! Skz anon back again!

I am so obsessed with your writing! It is amazing, and I can't find anyone else who writes skz like you do! Absolute perfection

I had two ideas so you can take your pick or ignore both!

1) Skz having to punish little reader for the first time (usually good little one)

2) Different roles they take on for little one (like is someone more of a stern cg while someone else is the playtime one. Maybe someone who is charge of a schedule or rules?)

"Daddy, look it's snowing!" you squealed, pressing your face against the glass. Chan chuckled, carrying you up "Oh, yeah? Do you want to go play baby?" he asked, kissing your cheek. You giggled, practically buzzing in his arms "Yes! Can we, Daddy?" you asked, anticipating his answer. Chan cooed, "Of course, we can, baby girl. Let's get you dressed all cosy for the snow," he said, tickling your tummy. Giggles split past your lips "Daddy, no," you squeaked. "Where are all these beautiful giggles coming from, hm?" Changbin asked, peeking his head into the room.

You gasped, a wide smile etched on your lips "Baba!" you cheered, squirming out of Chan's hold. Chan laughed, "Hang on, baby," he said, setting you down. Changbin gruffed, picking you up with ease "How's our little agi?" he asked, placing gentle pecks all over your face. You giggled, covering Changbin's lips with both of your hands. "Our little baby wants to play in the snow," Chan said, taking out your jackets and pants. Changbin licked your palm, making you shriek and pull your hands away "Oh really?" he asked, laughing as you wiped your hands on his shirt.

Chan hummed, "Yup, the snow hasn't frozen up so it should be powdery enough for her to roll around in," he said, putting the jacket over your shoulders. Changbin nodded, helping you stand on the bed for Chan to dress you up "I'll go see if any of the boys want to join," he said, ruffling your hair before walking out the door. You puffed your cheeks, blowing your hair away from your face. Chan chuckled, zipping up your jacket "C'mere baby girl, put your hand on my shoulder," he said, pulling thick pants up your legs. You wriggled, letting yourself get dressed.

Chan smiled, "Excited little baby, aren't you?" he said, pinching your cheek lightly. Felix knocked on the door, "Channie hyung, is our sunshine ready?" he asked, walking in. Chan nodded, "She's all dressed. Baby, why don't you go down with Mommy first? Daddy will get dressed and see you later, okay?" he said, stroking your cheek with his thumb. You nodded, crawling off the bed to Felix "See you later, Daddy!" you giggled, Chan laughed, shaking his head in endearment as you closed the door behind you. "What do you want to do in the snow first, sunshine?" he asked, tucking your hair behind your ears, and placing your ear muffs on.

"Hm, can we build a snowman, Mommy?" you asked, tilting your head. Felix cooed at how the bow on your ear muffs bounced with your movement "Definitely, sunshine," he said, leaning you to the backyard. "Tag!" a voice shouted, hurling a snowball right at Felix. He stumbled back slightly "I've been hit, sunshine. Avange me," he gasped dramatically. Your eyes widened, forming a snowball "I will avenge you, Mommy," you said, kissing Felix's cheek before jumping into the powdery snow. "Sweetheart, let's talk about this," Jisung said, raising his arms.

You paused, staring at him suspiciously "Speak and I'll think about it," you asked, holding your snowball in hand. Jisung bowed, "Thank you, our merciful sweet girl. I didn't mean to attack your Mommy, I was aiming for the sneaky ferret," he explained, pointing towards Hyunjin. A loud dramatic gasp came from the same direction "How dare you, I just did my hair this morning. Show him no mercy, lovely," Hyunjin said, crossing his arms. Jisung's eyes widened, "Don't listen to him, sweetheart. He's, he's lying," he stuttered in a panic. Hyunjin scoffed, "Why would I lie?" he retorted.

Jisung fumbled, "I-I how would I know!" he yelled, running out of options. You giggled, "Attack!" you shouted, throwing snowballs at Jisung. "Ow, sweetheart. Ouch, please reconsider!" he yelled, unable to run in the tall snow blanket. You laughed, making as many snowballs as you could throw. Minho chuckled, carrying you away from the snow "Alright, cupcake. Give your Appa a tiny break, you can attack him again after," he said, placing you on his lap. You nuzzled into Minho's arms "Mama brought snacks?" you asked, looking up at him. Minho smiled, "I did. Here, take a bite," he said, feeding you.

The day went by and slowly it became dark. "Okay, it's time to come in, munchkin," Seungmin said, leaning against the back door's frame. You frowned, "But Dada just a bit longer?" you pleaded, jutting your bottom lip. "It's getting late, angel," Jeongin said, lifting you up from the snow. You sulked, hooking your chin over Jeongin's shoulder. "Aww, angel. You can play again tomorrow, we promise," he said, rubbing your back. You whined, burying your face into the crook of Jeongin's neck "I want to play today," you huffed. '

Seungmin cooed, "How about this, muchkin? You go to bed early tonight and you can play the moment you wake up," he proposed, preparing your bath. You weren't happy with the decision but you nodded, "Okay, dada," you mumbled, letting Jeongin remove your snow clothes. Seungmin smiled, "That's our sweet girl," he praised, kissing your forehead. Jeongin chuckled, helping you in the bath "Such a precious little angel," he said, lathering your body in soap. You melted under Jeongin's care, thoughts running through your head 'I'm going to play today,' you thought, determined by your decision.

Night came and everyone in the house fell asleep, except for one little girl wide awake in her bed. You looked at your plush "It's time," you whispered, wearing your thickest blanket, thinking it'll be enough to save you from the cold. Your plush shook its head 'This isn't a good idea,' it said, watching you in worry. "It'll be fine, it's just a bit longer," you rationalised. Your plush sighed, 'I still don't have a good feeling about this,' it mumbled, unable to do anything but watch you sneak out of your room. "Have to be quiet," you whispered to yourself, tip-toeing down the stairs to the back door,

You carefully opened the door, making sure it wouldn't squeak before jumping into the snow blanket. The snow was colder than you remembered and the thick blanket you had around you wasn't helping as much as you thought. After rolling around for a bit, your body began to shiver, and puffs of cold warm air escaped your lips in gusts of smoke. "Too cold," you said, teeth chattering from the drop in temperature. You waddled your way back into the house, tossing your thick blanket into the laundry where the other snow clothes were, and began to tip-toe back up to your room.

Your plush sat on your bed, waiting 'Was it worth it?' it asked, looking at your shivering figure. You nodded, changing into warm clothes, "Yup, all worth it," you slurred, burying yourself under your thick duvet.

Morning came. Chan woke up, eyebrows furrowing at the alarm system on his phone flashing "What?" he mumbled, blinking himself awake. He clicked on the app, finding out about your little nighttime endeavour. Chan sighed, disappointed by your actions "What am I going to do about you, little one?" he asked himself, getting out of bed. He went down the stairs to see that Seungmin and Minho were awake, sipping on their coffee. "A little snow princess decided to pay us a visit last night," Chan said, handing Minho his phone. Minho frowned, "She did not," he said in disbelief. Chan hummed, "She did," he clarified, passing his phone to Seungmin.

Minho set his mug down "What if a wild animal decided to jump into our backyard? What if someone noticed her and took her away? God," he rambled, millions of what if's filled his head. Seungmin sighed, "I don't think she was thinking it through. I mean, of course, she wasn't thinking it through. Are we too lenient to her as caregivers?" he asked, internally doubting himself. Chan frowned, "No, she has always been good and the things we reward her are always deserved. It's just that this time, she didn't know the consequences of her actions," he said, reassuring Seungmin.

Hyunjin walked down, pausing at the entrance of the kitchen "Why is it so tense in here?" he asked, hair in disarray. Chan pressed his tongue against his inner cheek, handing his phone to Hyunjin. Soon everyone in the house knew about your winter adventure. You woke up panting, body burning with a fever. Weak whimpers echoed within the room as you held your plush tight. Chan knocked on your door, already deciding with the rest of the boys that your punishment would be to stay inside for the rest of the week. You whined, uncomfortable by how warm your body was becoming even though you felt your skin was chilly.

Chan opened your door, "Are you awake, baby?" he asked, walking up to your bed. "Daddy," you sobbed, tears streaming down your cheeks. Chan panicked, rushing towards you "Oh baby girl. Look's like you caught yourself a fever," he said, touching your forehead and neck. You whined, huffing out puffs of warm air. Chan walked to your door "Minho, we have a problem!" he shouted from the top of the stairs. "What's going on?" Minho shouted back, raising an eyebrow. "Our little girl got herself a nasty fever," Chan explained, running his fingers through his hair.

Minho cursed under his breath "Okay, I'll prepare the kit and let the boys bring them up to you," he said, taking out the forehead patches, panadol pills, and a warm bottle of water. "Bring this up first," Minho said, instructing Jeongin and Jisung. They nodded, "Got it, hyung," Jisung said, following Jeongin up the stairs. "Yongbok-ah, do you mind helping me with the chicken soup?" he asked, looking at Felix. "I don't mind, hyung. Just tell me what you need," Felix said, tying his hair up. Minho chuckled, taking out the stock from the freezer "Thaw this for now," he instructed, having Felix the container.

You furrowed your eyebrows, focusing on something else that isn't your discomfort. "Sweetheart if you only stayed inside last night," Jisung mumbled, making a slip of the tongue. Your eyes widened, "Huh?" you whispered, clutching your plush tight. Jisung purses his lips, slowly backing out of the room. Chan blinked, sighing "Baby girl, we know you went out last night," he said, running his fingers through your damp hair. You stayed silent, staring up at him with a guilty look. Chan frowned, "I can't say I'm not disappointed, baby," he said, stroking your cheek.

"I'm sorry," you whined, guilt eating you up. "I know you are, little one. I'm sure your fever is making that known to you," he said, booping your nose. You wrinkled your nose, burying your face into your plush. "Your punishment was supposed to be that you're grounded inside for the week, but it looks like you're bedridden either way," Chan said, running his hand up the back of your neck to push your hair. You pouted, feeling guilty and icky. Jeongin patted your stomach "You have to realize that what you did last night was a terrible idea, angel. This is far from the worst-case scenario," he explained, brushing your hair away from your face.

Tears began to well up again this time from the guilt, building in your heart. Minho walked in with a bowl of soup "Why is my pretty cupcake crying, hm?" he asked, setting the soup on your bedside table. You hiccupped, "I'm sorry I went out, Mama," you cried, weakly nuzzling yourself on Minho's lap. Minho cooed, holding you close "You had us all worried when we saw the footage, cupcake," he said, drawing more guilt-filled sobs from you. Minho held you tight, "I'm sure you learnt your lesson, didn't you sweet thing?" he asked, wiping your tears.

You nodded, tears spilling endlessly. Minho smiled, "That's good, cupcake. Your punishment is just this whole week, no more sneaking out to play in the cold snow, okay?" he asked, stroking your splotchy cheeks. You nodded, curling up against Minho's chest. "We'll take care of you our precious little girl," he said, rocking your sniffling figure.

Ello! This is my first request can you do were CG Skz with their Little at the beach but the little can't swim?

Also english isn't my first language^^

Have a good day!

Hello Little Duckling! You are doing amazing sweetheart! This request is beyond adorable. I decided to write it story style instead of headcanon, I hope you don't mind.

Have a good day as well, little dumpling.

Just a Little Splash

Hot did not even begin to describe how it felt outside. The world seemed to be on fire and there was nothing to do to escape the heat. It was inevitable that you would slip due to the discomfort of the whole situation but that didn't bother your caregivers one bit.

Instead, they were focused on cooling you down as your poor puffy face began to turn red and splotchy from the heat.

"Oh my poor baby, Mommy is so sorry." Felix felt awful seeing how your body was reacting. He placed a gentle hand on your forehead and was alarmed by your temperature. "Minho! Come here!" Felix shouted out before immediately going back to your care. "Shhh baby, Noona is coming. Your noonie will be here soon"

"What's wrong Lix, I am trying to stop Hyunjin from breaking what little A/C we have" Minho wiped his hands on his shirt before looking over at you. "My little kitten! What happened to you" He was instantly at your feet.

"They are burning up! I think the heat is starting to make them sick. We need to cool them down" Felix brushed your hair with his hand, it was a nervous habit of his as a caregiver.

"What about the waterpark?" I.N. seemed to show up out of nowhere.

"Can't, they closed it last week"

"DURING A HEAT WAVE"

"Don't yell at me! Take it up with Mr.Wildwaves himself" Minho snarked back to I.N.

"Hot" a weak little voice caught all the caregivers' attention.

"Oh we know sugar, Mommy is so sorry. Let's get everyone in here and figure out how to help our little baby." Felix ended his sentence with a bop to your nose. It didn't help much but it did make you giggle.

Once all the boys were in the living room, ideas started flying. The whole situation became overwhelming but thankfully Han caught on.

"Here little quokka, sit on Oppa's lap." After getting all snuggled up, Han pressed your head into his chest to muffle the noise.

"I got it!" Chan stood up from excitement at his idea.

"Little one?" Han kissed your head to get your attention. "Listen to Daddy now, okay?" You gave a tired smile.

"Let's go to the beach! Felix and I have been dying to take them! Minho already has lunch made so we can pack it up and take it with us. We can all hang out in the water and just relax. Sound good cubby?" Everyone could tell you agreed based on the smile that appeared on your face.

The trip to the beach was fairly uneventful. You rode with Chan, Felix, Seungmin, and Hyunjin. Jinnie tried his best to give your room so you didn't get hotter while Seungmin was determined to put every single car vent on you. This prompted a scolding from Chan in the driver's seat as he could see your teeth chattering.

When you began to see the ocean line break over the hills, you danced around in your seat. You climbed over Hyunjin to get a better look.

"Mama! See the water?" You pointed to the very obvious ocean.

"Mama isn't sure he sees it, baby. Can you point it out to me?" Hyunjin held onto your waist to keep you secure as he followed your instructions.

"But now Minnie wants to see pup! Can you show Minnie where it is?" You giggled at Seungmin's request but showed him anyway.

It was about an hour of setting up before the boys all collected around you and Jeongin on the beach towels. During that time Innie was explaining all the fun things you would get to do. All of it seemed like a whole new world to you and your eyes shined at every new activity. However, Jeongin didn't fail to notice how your eyes dulled at the mention of swimming. He wouldn't bring it up now, not while you are occupied by the strange substance known as sand.

"Okay, Bunbun! Plan time." Changbin swooped you up and sat back down with you.

"We are going to eat some lunch and then we are going to go play before we get in the water. Okay, Cubby?" Chan asked but he knew you weren't fully paying attention, Binnie was always too much of a distraction.

Minho passed out the food and gave Changbin a gentle reminder that the baby had to eat most of their food. However, that didn't stop your dada from becoming the munch monster and sneaking bites out of everything you had. While you were distracted, Jeongin whispered something to Felix.

The next few hours were some of the most fun you had. It started with sea shell hunting with Han. Then Hyunjin helped you make a sand castle fit for a mermaid royal family. Seungmin took you on a small walk up the coastline and introduced you to all the dogs that came your way. Changbin played some games like catch and frisbee with you and the other boys while Jeongin set up a small dance party. Whispers seemed to surround everything you did.

It seemed to be that time. All the boys eventually ended up in the water, well all but Minho. No, instead Minho was watching you take your much-needed nap under the comfort of the umbrella. Your eyes blinked open and you retreated into Minho's lap when the light came in.

"Oh Kitten, a little too bright huh?" He chuckled as he shielded your eyes.

"Do you wanna join your other caregivers in the water baby, itll be much cooler."

"Um....No thank you" The way you fidgeted with your shirt was telling.

"Kitten, can Noonie ask you a question?" he was met with a hum in response. "My little kitten doesn't like water, do they? Baby, do you maybe not know how to swim?" You shied away in embarrassment. "No need to be embarrassed honey! Guess what, Noona can't swim either!"

"Noonie doesn't know how to swim?" Your head perked up at his confession.

"Nope! But you know what? I think maybe we should be brave together. What do you say kitten? Just a little splash?"

"Just a little splash." You repeated to yourself.

Minho carried you down to the water with his own shaking arms. To be honest he was just as scared as you were. But when the boys saw you both coming, the looks on their faces ranged from comforting to excited. Minho's toes graced the water and he jumped back a bit by the cold.

Then, once situated, he lowered you down to the ground. He had to give you a bit of a shake to make you let go but his hand instantly intertwined with yours.

One step at a time you two entered the water all while Chan and Felix held out their arms.

"Come here baby, come to Daddy" Chan beckoned you over.

"Can't Daddy!" You backed into Minho.

"Yes, you can baby! Move your arms just like this" Felix motioned what he wanted you to do. "Then kick your little leggies!"

You followed his instructions and while you were moving slowly, you were moving.

"That's it cubby! Just a bit more!" All the boys cheered as you made your way into Chan's arms.

"Your turn Minho!" Han called out and was instantly met with rejection. Suddenly his torso was wet. When he looked to find the culprit he found a very smitten little staring back.

"It's just a little splash, Noonie!"

Chapter One: First Day at Playcare! (6,600 words.)

♡ Fandoms: BTS, Stray Kids!

REQUESTS OPEN :) RULES IN END NOTES!

♡ Characters: Little!Reader CG Jungkook CG Taehyung Playcare Owner Hoseok EA Felix EA Hyunjin Little Jimin, IN, Seungmin Everyone else is Teachers!

♡ Genre: SFW Littlespace, Fluff, Non Idol AU!

After moving from the rural city of Geochang to the bustling city of Seoul, your parents Jungkook and Taehyung decide to start you in a new Playcare Centre. Life is about to be so much different!

Time to be brave!

Notes: Welcome! ʕ•◡•ʔっ♡!

This is a very fluffy, very relaxed series that hopefully you can immerse yourself in!

There will be some angst but mostly fluff!

In this universe, Littlespace is permanent. If you don't know much about Littlespace, please research the topic elsewhere, since this story doesn't reflect how Littlespace functions in real life! Thank you!

The car's tyres grind against the tarmac as Jungkook pulls into the Little Sunshine Playcare's car park, a single storey building coming into view. It's made of caramel colored wood and black metal, a big welcome sign at the front that has a smiling cartoon sun attached to it. Arts and crafts are stuck to insides of the windows, so many colorful handprints reaching out to you as if giving you high-fives.

You tuck your chin into the soft collar of your pink sweater, peering at them nervously through your lashes.

As Jungkook chooses a parking space and turns off the engine, Taehyung twists around in his seat.

A kind smile graces his face. "Are you ready for your first day, sweetness?"

"Umm-..."

You glance back outside.

There's a man holding the hand of a colourfully dressed woman walking up to the front safety gate. He pulls the little knob and guides her through to the door, stopping to poke some buttons on a square thingy on the wall before heading inside.

"I dunno, Papa," You mumble as they leave your sight.

What if they don't wanna play with you? What if your teachers are meanies, and not nice like your Daddy and Papa?

"You don't know?" He sing-songs, pouting and reaching out to pinch your knee playfully. "Are you a little bit scared?"

Hang on.

You didn't say that!

Jungkook turns just in time to see you gasp, giggling to himself.

"I'm not scared!" You protest. "I'm not scared of anything, Papa!"

"Aww. I know."

Jungkook is sceptical. "No? Not even Lord Tirek?"

You think back to last night, when the big, scary monster appeared on the screen and you just had to hide in your Papa's arms.

You admit, "Maybe I'm scared of some things."

Taehyung smacks your Daddy on the shoulder, eyes wide behind his black glasses. "Luckily there's no Lord Tirek here then, right?"

"Right, Jagi," He agrees guiltily.

"Come on. It's time to get out now, sweetness."

You hug your teddy bear to your chest as they both exit the car.

Taehyung appears at your window, pulling your door open and leaning over you. He takes the big, red car seat buckle laying on your belly in his hands and clicks the two halves apart. The straps fall over your shoulders as he slots his hands under your armpits.

"Let's not forget your present," He reminds you, lifting you out of the seat and onto the ground.

As Jungkook rounds the car, he catches you chewing on your teddy's ear.

"Ah-ah," He chides, his tattooed hand coming up to pull it from your lips. "That's yucky. Be nice to Mr Bear, okay?"

"Sorry, Mr Bear."

"And?"

"Sorry, Daddy."

"Thank you."

"Here it is." Taehyung pulls out the bakery carry-box, slamming the door closed and carefully passing it to you. "Gentle hands."

"Good job." Jungkook praises. "It's not too heavy?"

"S'fine, Daddy."

Walking through the car park together, Taehyung strokes his hand through your hair, fixing the few fly-aways that have slipped from your piggy tails he very lovingly styled you in this morning. Your Papa is great at doing hair. Oh, and at picking outfits.

He's wearing a beige knitted vest over a plain white shirt, baggy pants, big shoes, and a beret.

The hairdresser's he works at lets him wear whatever he wants!

Jungkook, though; He has to wear a suit every day.

"Wooooow. Is that right?" Your taller parent exclaims. "You must be very strong?"

"Yes, I am, Daddy." You agree, plodding along.

For some reason, as he opens the gate and lets you through, both of them break out in chuckles above you. You don't know what's so funny about saying that! When you carried that heavy bag of rice at the shops yesterday, Daddy only had to help a little.

The door makes a clicking sound as the code is punched in, Jungkook pushing it open gentlemanly.

As you step into the foyer, you're suddenly hit with the feeling of being lost in a new place. You got lost in the supermarket once and it was so scary. Even scarier than Lord Tirek. You were about to be lost forever and ever until your Daddy finally found you.

You don't want to be alone again. No, no, no! A sad moan leaving your throat, you drop the bakery box onto the floor and wrap your arms around Jungkook's waist, smooshing your face into his breast through the black fabric. You're never letting go!

"Oh!" Taehyung exclaims, picking the small box back up. "Whoopsies."

"Whoopsies," Jungkook croons.

"Good morning," The lady at the desk greets, before her eyes widen. "Would you like some help?"

"We've got it." Your Papa assures her. "We're here to sign in Jeon-Kim Haen, please."

"Of course. Just a moment."

"I'm scared," You muffle.

"It's okay, baby." Jungkook soothes, rubbing your back. "Remember what you said before?"

I'm not scared of anything!

"I lieeeed." You complain. "I'm sc- scared of Lord Tirek and the air frier and scorpions and getting lost!"

Taehyung plucks a tissue from the reception desk box, bending to mop the yellow frosting off the floor.

Jungkook tsks sadly. "Maybe. But you're still very brave, Haen-ie."

"I'm b'ave?"

"Of course you are. Can you say, 'I'm Daddy and Papa's strong, brave girl'?"

"I'm- I'm Daddy and Papa's strong, b'ave girl."

"Good morning!" A new voice comes lilting into the room. You squeeze Jungkook even tighter, turning your head ever so slightly to get a look at the newcomer. A man as tall as your Daddy is approaching the three of you, dressed in an orange hoodie and looking like he swallowed the sun and all the stars for breakfast, the light trying to escape through his face. "Did we have a little accident?"

"We did," Tae laughs, throwing the used tissue and squished cupcake into a nearby bin.

"Don't worry. No harm done!"

His black hair is tousled neatly over his forehead, a rainbow lanyard laying against his chest.

"She's nervous about her first day." Jungkook explains, stroking your cheek. "Had a bit of a scare coming in."

The man smiles, his eyes turning into crescent moons. "You must be Haen-ie. I'm Hoseok-seonsangnim. It's nice to meet you!"

"Hello, Hoseok-seonsangnim." You murmur politely. "Are the cupcakes okay?"

Taehyung chuckles. "They're for her classmates."

"Wow, that's very nice of you." Hoseok gasps, looking through the little plastic windows. "Ooooh, yummy. They look perfect."

You let him know, "You can have one, too."

The three of them burst into soft laughter.

"Awww. Thank you, Haen-ie. You're a very kind girl. How about we go share them with everyone? Would you like to do that?"

You pause, thinking about it for a moment. "Okay."

"Awesome! Good idea." He praises, even though the idea was his, taking the box. "You'll have so much fun today!"

"You hear that? Come say goodbye to Papa-bear, sweetness."

You let go of your Daddy to fall into Taehyung's embrace, trying not to feel too scared as he wraps you up safely in his arms, rocking you gently from side to side and growling like a big, happy bear. When he pulls back, he kisses your forehead and passes you off to Jungkook, who gives you a quicker, lighter hug and reminds you not to chew on Mr Bear because he likes his ears to be clean.

"I won't, Daddy." You promise, earning another kiss to the forehead.

"Good girl. Daddy and Papa will come and pick you up later, okay?"

"Okay."

One last kiss. "We love you."

"Love you," Tae smiles.

"Love you, Daddy, Papa."

Hoseok offers his hand to you. "Come on, Haen-ie. Let's go share these yummy cupcakes, huh?"

Taking his hand in yours, you bravely let him guide you away.

"What flavor are the cupcakes, Haen-ie?"

"They're chocolate," You tell him, remembering what Papa asked the baker-lady for this morning.

"Oooh. I loooove chocolate." Your teacher gushes, giving your hand a bit of a squeeze as you walk side by side down the bright corridor. Splodgy paintings and crayon drawings hang from little wooden pegs along the wall, all the cats and dogs and dragons and two headed shark-giraffe hybrids all grinning down at you with silly faces and glittery decorations. "Is chocolate your favorite, too?"

"Uh-huh." You sheepishly nod. "I like it- I like it even betterer than vanilla, but Papa likes strawberry."

"He likes strawberry, does he? What about Daddy?"

"Daddy likes chocolate, too. He goes to the gym a lot, but he says it's healthy so we can eat lots!"

He laughs at that. "Well, I don't know about 'healthy', but it sure is delicious. Oh, look! Here's our classroom!"

You come to a stop in front of a door with a sticker on it that says, 'A2.'

Glancing back down the corridor, you notice the foyer is suddenly very empty. No Daddy, no Papa. Hoseok distracted you. You face forward again, taking a deep breath and telling yourself, I'm Daddy and Papa's brave girl, as he knocks on the door.

It opens. A man with long, wavy hair smiles sweetly at the both of you, moving to let you inside.

"Good morning!" He greets, closing the door behind you. "This must be our new friend, Haen-ie."

The classroom is bustling, filled with squealing laughter as Baby Shark plays loudly from somewhere.

"We're doing some dancing right now. It helps shake out all those early-morning jitters." He explains. "My name is Hyunjin-ie. It's so exciting to meet you! I'm one of the EAs in this room, so I'll be helping you get settled in today! Does that sound good?"

"What's an EA, Hyunjin-ie?"

"It means, 'Educational Assistant'. That means my job is to be your best friend and help you with your work!"

When you giggle, Hoseok adds, "We've got some delicious chocolate cupcakes here for everyone, too."

"Ohh! Cupcakes? I knew today was going to be a great day."

"Excuse me, friends!" Hoseok calls out over the song, getting everyone's attention. "I know we're all having fun dancing, but we have a new classmate here joining us today and she's very kindly brought us some delicious cupcakes to eat together!"

Exclamations break out across the room. "Cupcakes!!"

As the kids come running over, Hoseok sets the box down on the nearest activity table. "Everyone, say thank you to Haen-ie!"

"Thank you, Haen-ie!"

"I love you, Haen-ie!"

A shy smile makes its way onto your face, realizing that nobody here is mean like you thought they would be.

Your classmates jump up and down like pieces of popcorn as Hoseok hands a small cupcake to you first, then sharing the rest of them to the gathered crowd, reminding them all to be patient and thanking them for their nice manners.

Peeling back your cupcake's paper liner, you take a big, big bite.

Mmm. Chocolate with sweet, yellow frosting and a tiny, bear-shaped cookie sticking out of it.

"Thank you, Heun-ie!" A boy exclaims, his chin smeared with frosting. "Dis is soooo yummy!"

You smile, "My Papa buyed them."

"I love your Papa."

"I love my Papa, too."

"Nice manners, Jimin-ie." Hoseok praises him, handing the last of the cupcakes to EA Hyunjin and two other men who must be teachers. "Haen-ie, you've already met Hyunjin, but this here is EA Yeongbok-ie and Teacher Yoongi-seonsangnim."

The first man, Yeongbok; he has blonde hair, the color of vanilla cookies, and a wonky, toothy smile sweeter than every cookie in the world. He gives you an enthusiastic wave, his voice deeper than even your Papa's. "Hi! Nice to meet you!"

The second man, Yoongi, looks a bit like a sleepy, smiley cat. "Hello, Haen-ie."

"Hello," You wave back.

"We can meet the rest of your teachers later, but Yeongbok here is our second EA, and Yoongi is our very talented music teacher."

The man snorts. "I play recorders, Hoseok."

"All the same."

"Do you like music, Haen-ie?" Yeongbok asks as he pulls out a wooden seat for you, sitting in the one next to it.

"Okay, everyone! Sit down to eat, please!"

As everyone gets settled, you sit down next to Yeongbok and Hyunjin while Yoongi walks off with his cupcake.

"I like to sing with my Daddy and Papa," You tell the friendly EAs, your two new best friends.

"You guys just moved here from Geochang, didn't you?"

"Yeah," The mention of your old home sends a pang through your heart. It was a lot different than here. The streets were lined with wild grass and old, proud houses, always a breathtaking view of the mountains sitting on the horizon. "We got here two days ago."

"Well, we're very happy to have you here." Hyunjin smiles like a pretty prince. "What do you like about Seoul so far?"

Oh, um... You've never thought about that up until now.

"I like Han River," You guess, popping the biscuit in your mouth. "And we're going to Teseum Teddy Bear museum this weekend."

"Uwaaah," Yeongbok exclaims, "That sounds exciting?"

You nod, chewing, the wet crumbs falling from your lips and into your lap. "Bea'ws are my fav'ite animal."

"Oooh, careful," He warns, taking the handkerchief out of his pants' pocket and using it to clean you up.

"Oh! Sorryyyy."

"Don't worry." He brushes the crumbs off your sweater, and then your bear's fat, brown nose. "Look. It's as if nothing ever happened!"

"Daddy doesn't like it when I get my things dirty," You babble, giving the teddy a kiss as an apology, "Or chew on Mr Bear's ears."

"Aaah," Hyunjin hums understandingly, "So you're going to be one of the messy ones."

"You're going to love art class."

"I love art class!" A nearby boy butts in. "I made a painting for my Mommy yesterday!"

"Yes, and you used yourself as the canvas, didn't you?" He jokes, pinning him with an cool, sassy look.

The boy does nothing but giggle, his teeth covered in bits of chocolate cake, before running off to join his friends again.

"That's Jeongin-ie."

As you bite and swallow the last chunk of your cupcake, Yeongbok stands from the small seat, leaving his own cupcake on the table and offering his hand to you. "All done? Let's go put your bag away in the cubby before class starts, okay?"

"Okay, Yeongbok-ie." You agree, grabbing his pale hand and following him.

He takes you over to the wall besides the classroom door, where the cubby shelves are all stuffed with the other Little's backpacks, books, spare clothes, and water bottles. Coloured strips of paper are velcroed above each one, their names printed on them.

'Jimin', 'Jeongin', 'Maru', 'Nathan', and even your name! You point it out to Yeongbok, who chuckles in that delicate, tinkling way of his that makes it sound like he's a magical xylophone. He takes off your purple backpack and places it in the cubby below your tag.

Returning to the sitting area together, you spot Hyunjin and Yoongi helping tidy the aftermath.

"This one was yours," Yoongi nods toward an empty liner, wiping down the table with a cloth. "Go put it in the trash, please."

Hyunjin adds, "You too, Jeongin."

"Okayyyy." The boy sing-songs. "Fine."

Scooping up your trash and dumping it in the nearby bin, everybody works hard to clean up before settling down in their assigned seats at the activity tables strewn across the room. You're unsure where to go, awkwardly hugging Mr Bear, but sweet EA Yeongbok is there to help you again, taking your hand and guiding you to a table near the toy boxes. Jeongin and Jimin are sitting there, too.

"Ooh, Haen-ie. Look." The man points at the back of the chair. "What's that?"

You follow his finger.

Wow! It's another tag with your name on it!

"My name!" You exclaim proudly as you sit down. "This is my chair, Yeongbok-ie!"

"You're right. It is your chair," The man praises this genius discovery, as he drags another chair over and sits next to you.

Hyunjin and Yoongi are both sitting at other tables, joking with the kids around them.

"Hi! I'm Jimin!" The boy in front of you cheers.

"I'm Jeongin!"

"These are your table-mates, Haen-ie. Say hello?"

"Hello," You greet, using Mr Bear's fluffy arm to wave to them. "It's my first day today!"

"Why is it your first day?"

"We moved here." You explain, "And my old playcentre is too far away to visit, now."

"Awwww," Jimin pouts.

"That's so sad!"

"It is a little bit sad," Yeongbok validates, his tone comforting, "But she's going to make lots of new friends here, isn't she?"

Jeongin nods so fast you think his head might fall off. "I'll be your friend, Haen-ie!"

"Me, too! Do you like dinosaurs?"

Glancing at the T-Rex printed on his blue sweater, you shrug. "Um... A little."

"Oh." He deflates, perking right back up again afterwards. "It's okay! I'll still be your friend!"

"Yeah! He's friends with me, and I like sharks, but he doesn't like sharks, and we're still friends."

"Okay, guys," Yeongbok interrupts, placing a finger over his lips, "Sh, sh, sh. Let's listen to Hoseok-seonsangnim, okay?"

"Okay."

"Okay!"

"It's time for our first class of the day, friends." You turn your attention to the front of the classroom, peering over Jimin's shoulder as Hoseok drags the wheelie whiteboard into view, uncapping an orange marker and smiling brightly at his class. "Now, Yoongi-seonsangnim and I were nice enough to let you guys have some cupcakes before class this morning, weren't we?"

"Yeah!" You all reply at once.

"Yeah! Fun, right? So do you think you'll all be able to put your learning caps on, now?"

As he mimes putting on a big hat, you all copy him.

Even Yoongi, Hyunjin, and Yeongbok, too!

"Perfect!" He lowers his hands. "Does anyone know what we're going to be learning today?"

The whole class starts giggling hysterically as he glances at the laminated chart on the wall, which very obviously reads, Monday, 1. Music, 2. Arts and Crafts, 3. Snack Break, 4. Math, 5. Nap Time, 6. Lunch Break, 7. Reading, in bubble letters.

Everyone shouts out, "Music!"

"It's Music!"

"Music, Hoseok!"

"It's what?" Your teacher squints, cupping his ear. "We're learning what?"

You join in the chaos, shouting, "Music!!"

"Aaaaah. Music! Why didn't you say that the first time?"

Silly Hoseok-seonsangnim. You guys did say that!

"Let's start with our word of the day first, and then we get out the instruments." Turning and writing, Word of the Day, at the top of the whiteboard, he faces forward and looks directly at you. "How about you choose today's word, Haen-ie?"

Oh! You?!

"There's no wrong answers," Yeongbok encourages you when he notices your apprehension. "What about Bear?"

You give a quick nod. "You say, please?"

He happily reports back to your teacher, "The word of the day is Bear!"

"Oooh. Good choice. Let's all use the letters at our tables and have a go spelling Bear!"

"Oh! I know, I know!" Jimin exclaims, wiggling impatiently as your EA reaches into the middle of the table and pulls out a velcro board and a cup of felt letters from the basket of supplies, splaying them out. "Let me do it! I know!"

He grabs the pile of letters, pulling out a flimsy G character and sticking it to the board.

"Good job, Jimin-ie." Yeongbok slides the letters in front of you. "Haen-ie's turn, now. We have to work as a team!"

Humming thoughtfully, you sound out the word Bear in your head. There's a Guh, and then an Ohhhhh. Must be O.

You stick the O character below the G.

When it's Jeongin's turn, he sticks down an M character, completing the simple Hangul symbol.

"Is everybody ready? Show us your boards!"

Chatter fills the room again as Yeongbok holds up the board for you.

Hoseok glances from table to table, nodding, "Correct! Yep, correct! Well done! Yeongbok's table, correct!"

Your EA gives you a high-five.

Yay!

"Hyunjin's table," He sucks in a breath at the last group, "I'm afraid that's not quite right."

Everyone at the table groans in defeat and starts throwing accusations around.

"I told you it was just one M!"

"Hyunjinnnnn!"

"You didn't listen!"

Yoongi's laughing behind his hand, shoulders shaking.

The kids keep heckling him as he grumpily throws down the letter in his hand.

Yeongbok laughs, "Maybe you need to move to the baby's room, Hyung? What do you guys think?"

"Baby's room!" The girl next to Hyunjin chants. "Baby's room!"

Hyunjin sticks his tongue out at her.

"Okay. Okay," Hoseok chuckles, taking back control of the room as Yoongi stands up. "Time for music, now."

When Namjoon checks his watch, he announces, "Snack break, everyone!"

Jumping up from your seat and pulling your bucket hat on, you can't wait to eat!

You file out into the play yard with everyone else, finding a spot at one of the picnic tables. Hoseok and Namjoon-seonsangnim wheel out two carts of food, approaching each table and handing out the small bowls. Namjoon; You met him during Arts and Crafts. He's tall and muscly like a sports teacher, but he actually teaches art and English, his face round like a toffee candy, both cheeks dimpled.

"Hello, everyone." He greets, placing a plastic bowl and spoon in front of you. "Did you have fun in art today?"

"Thank you," You remember your manners, licking your lips at the sight of the sliced fruit and yoghurt.

"You're welcome, Haen-ie."

As you stick your spoon in, Seungmin exclaims, "Yeah! I maked a rainbow! It was really pretty."

"'Made'." Hoseok calls out.

The boy corrects himself. "I made a rainbow."

"Yes, I saw. It was pretty."

Gulping down the dollop of yoghurt and crunchy apple pieces, you gaze out at the patch of sunlight nearby. Your class's art creations are drying in the sun, the pieces of paper swaying in the breeze, wrinkled from all the glue and pom poms on them.

"I made a dinosaur with Jimin," You garble as Namjoon walks away with the cart, your mouth full.

The boy nods. "It was a brontosaurus. Brontosauruses are the ones with the-!"

"The long necks," The girl across from him rolls her eyes. "We know."

Your dinosaur's neck was five pompoms long!

He gasps. "You like dinosaurs, too, Ahyun?!"

"No. You just talk about them all the time." She glances up from her bowl. "Haen, you have glue on your elbow."

You do? Shrugging a shoulder, you peer down at the side of your arm and scratch the dried flake off.

"And paint on your shoulder."

Oh, she's right. There's a pink splat on your sweater. You hope your Daddy won't be too upset.

"And on your hand."

... Oh.

"She got really messy," The girl beside her giggles. "She's like my baby brother, and he's only one!"

"I think she's messier," She jokes, making your cheeks go hot.

"Are you one, Haen-ie?"

"No. I'm nineteen," You mumble uncomfortably, hiding your paint-covered hand under the table. "And four on the inside."

"You should go sit somewhere else," Ahyun chirps. "I don't want you to get me dirty!"

"She won't," Jimin frowns.

"Yes, she will!"

Whatever. You don't want to sit with Ahyun, either. You pick up your bowl and stand from the wooden bench, storming over to the playground and ducking under one of the platforms. You hide away in a dark corner to finish eating your snack in peace.

Tears start burning at the edges of your eyes when you catch a second glimpse at your ruined sweater.

"Haen-ie? Sweetie?"

Sniffling, you watch Hyunjin as he searches the playground, coming to a sudden stop when he sees you. He looks like he's about to explain that you're not allowed to eat in the playground, but something in his expression changes and he crouches down.

"Haen-ie, sweetie, what are you doing all the way over here?" He asks. "What's the matter?"

Glancing behind him, you catch the other teachers watching the two of you, before they go back to what they were doing.

Hyunjin crawls in and sits beside you, long hair framing his face as he tilts his head at you.

"Haen-ie?"

You pout, "I don't wanna sit at the tables."

"No?"

You shake your head, poking sadly at your yoghurt.

"You don't want to sit with your friends? Jimin and Jeongin?" He tries, only to be met with silence. "Me and Yeongbok-ie?"

You admit, "I don't wanna sit with Ahyun."

He pauses. "Did Ahyun say something a little bit mean?"

You nod. "Her friend said I'm like her baby brother because I'm messy. And then Ahyun said I'm even messier than him because I got paint and glue on my clothes in art class, and then she said I can't sit with them, so I came over here to hide."

Sympathy washes over his face. He muses, "That wasn't very nice of her, was it?"

"No, it wasn't," You agree.

"Did it make you sad?"

"Uh-huh." It did make you sad. "I didn't get messy on purpose, Hyunjin-ie. It was an a'sident."

"Awww, Hyunjin-ie knows it was an accident, sweetie. And you know what?"

"What?"

"Art class is all about getting messy, little friend. Wouldn't it be boring if the paint only got on the paper?"

"My Daddy doesn't like it when I get dirty. He likes it when things are perfect and nice and clean."

Your Papa calls him a 'Perfectionist'.

"You're already perfect and nice," He argues. "And Yeongbok and I are going to make sure you're clean, too."

"You are?"

"Yeah. Yeongbok is new, too, you know. He's only been here a week. And he says I should be in the baby's room. Pssh. After art class ended, I had to teach him where to find the extra wet wipes, but you went outside to eat before we could clean you up!"

Ohhh. You remember now! After class ended, Yeongbok told you to wait, but you forgot and ran outside!

"I was too excited to eat!"

"Yes, you were." He chuckles, taking your hand. "Come on. Let's go get clean!"

"Okay!"

He helps you crawl back out from the playground, leaving your bowl at the table and stepping inside the empty classroom.

It's much quieter in here. The aircon hums above you, tables all clean and glossy. You see Yeongbok standing behind the partition of the exposed bathroom area, peeling open a package of wet wipes and digging through your purple backpack.

Both of you approaching him, Yeongbok gasps dramatically with a big, sunny smile. "Haen-ie!"

Hyunjin squeezes your hand.

"I'm sorry I didn't wait for you, Yeongbok-ie," You apologize sweetly. "I got distracted and forgot to wait for you!"

"Aw. That's okay." He says, pulling out a spare shirt with a big strawberry on it. "Let's get you into some clean clothes."

The two nice men work together to remove your paint-covered sweater and stuff it back into your backpack, wiping down your fingers and palms with the wet wipes afterwards. Yeongbok quickly dresses you in the green shirt and adjusts your bucket hat.

"There we go," He celebrates, zipping your backpack up. "That was nice and easy, wasn't it!"

"Thank you, Yeongbok-ie and Hyunjin-ie!"

"See? Nothing bad about getting messy." The older EA holds his hand out to you. "Come on. Let's go finish eating, little friend."

Uh oh.

"Do I have to?"

Yeongbok makes a confused face. "I thought you were excited to eat?"

"I am, but," You twist your shoe into the floor. "Ahyun was mean to me."

He frowns. "Oh, no."

"Hyunjin-ie will make sure Hoseok-seonsangnim tells Ahyun's parents she was being mean to one of our friends," Hyunjin promises. "And you can sit with me, if you like, or we can ask Jimin and Jeongin if they want to move tables with you?"

You wanna sit with all of them!

"Let's all sit together!"

"Okay, sweet friend." He praises as you take his hand. "Let's go. Your yoghurt is waiting for you!"

You giggle. "I'm coming, yoghurt!"

Hyunjin guides you back into the play yard, approaching the picnic table.

"Excuse me, guys," The man politely interrupts, pointing to a nearby empty table. "I'm going to take my friend Haen-ie over to the kind-friends table over there, and we want to know who else is going to join us."

"Ooooh," Ahyun's friend exclaims. "I do!"

Not wanting to be left out, Ahyun agrees and raises her hand. "Me too, Hyunjin!"

"Sorry, Jenna and Ahyun. This table is only for kind friends. You weren't being a very kind friend to Haen-ie today, were you?"

She gawks. "Wh-?!"

"Maybe when you're feeling a little bit kinder," He suggests, "You can come and join us later."

As she scoffs angrily, Jimin raises his hand. "Can I come, Haen-ie?"

"What about me?" Jeongin adds. "I wanna sit with you!"

"Me, too!" Seungmin agrees. "I'm a kind friend!"

You go pink under all the attention. "Okay!"

"Yay!"

"Let's go!"

"Kind-friends table!"

The four of you grab your bowls and go sit at the other, better table together. Hyunjin offers his lap to you since you might still be a little sad. Even though you're feeling better now, you still climb up onto his thigh, while the three boys sit around you.

"There you go," Hyunjin cooes, bouncing you up and down a little. "Ooooh. Apple? What else did you get?"

"I got banana," Seungmin answers, pointing at his friend's bowl. "Jimin got some, too!"

Jeongin pouts, "I got grapes."

"He hates grapes," The boy beside him explains helpfully.

You ask, "Do you like apple?"

When he nods, you hold your bowl over his, using your spoon to flick the apple into it.

"Thanks, Haen-ie!" He gasps, before giving you his grapes. "You can have mine!"

"Thanks, Jeongin-ie."

"Woooow," Hyunjin exclaims, "Nice sharing, you guys."

"My Papa says it makes our friends sad when we don't share," You tell him. "And I don't like it when people are sad, Hyunjin-ie."

The man suddenly clutches his heart through his baggy shirt, wincing like he's in pain. "Dawww."

You giggle at his outburst. "What, Hyunjin-ie?"

He makes a Grrrrrr sound as he mimes grabbing your cheeks. "You're adorable, that's what!"

You push his hands away. "Silly Hyunjin!"

Yeongbok comes into view as you all laugh together, setting his bowl on the table. "Hey! Don't have all the fun without me!"

"How are you guys going over here?"

As Hoseok approaches your table, you pout your lips around the pencil in your mouth.

Not good. Math is hard!

He takes notice just like all good teachers do. "Needing some help there, Haen-ie?"

You mumble, "Yes, p'ease."

Yeongbok gently pulls your hand away. "We don't chew on pencils, little friend. There you go."

As he goes back to helping Jeongin, Hoseok takes a seat next to you. "Tell Hoseok-seonsangnim what you need help with."

"Yeongbok-ie is busy with Jeongin and there's-! There's too many steps!"

"Ahhh, I see. Don't worry. Let's break them down together, shall we? Can you read the question to me?"

You look down at your paper, making sure to ignore the cartoon gardener at the bottom because he's annoying you. "Taeyun buys some-... some flower seeds. He plants five seeds in normal soil, and five seeds in special mulch. The seeds in the... in the special mulch grow double the flowers than the seeds in the regular soil grow. How many flowers will he have when they're done growing?"

See?! That's super hard.

Taehyun should ask somebody else about his flowers, because you have no idea.

"That was great reading," Hoseok praises you, before grabbing a blank piece of paper and some crayons from the supply box. "I've got an idea. You know what helps me when I can't figure out a question? Drawing it out!"

Your eyes widen. "There's questions you can't figure out?"

A laugh escapes him. "Yes, there are. Even teachers need help, sometimes."

"But you're super smart?"

"The only way to get smart is to be wrong a lot of times first." He explains, drawing some dots on the page. "Let's draw what we need to know. First, I'll draw the seeds... Five normal seeds on the left and five special seeds on the right."

When he's finished, he hands you a green crayon.

"Now let's draw the flowers coming out of the seeds."

"Okay. I'll try!"

"That's what I like to hear, friend. You should draw two flowers coming out of each special seed, remember?"

Nodding, you get to work drawing the stems.

After that, you add a yellow ball and colorful petals to each one.

"Let's add some ladybugs!" You suggest, reaching for the red crayon.

"Hang on. We don't need any ladybugs right now." He reminds you. "Maybe you can draw some in art class tomorrow, okay?"

Awwww. "Okay."

"Let's count the flowers instead. Ready?"

"Uh-huh. One, two, three," You concentrate hard and count every flower. "Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen!"

"Fifteen. Well done!" Hoseok exclaims with a big, excited grin, giving you a double high five. "You did it!"

"I did it!"

"Go ahead and write the answer down and we'll have a go at the next one."

"Okay! Thank you, Hoseok-seonsangnim."

"You're very welcome, sunshine."

By the time you've filled out the math booklet, you're in serious need of a nap. Being smart is lots of effort. How does he do it?

Luckily, it's nap time.

You grab Mr Bear and head into the toy area, where the EAs have moved the furniture out of the way and set up sleeping mats on the floor. Your Papa packed your softest, pinkest bedding today. You kneel on the cotton fabric, yawning and laying your head on your pillow as Hyunjin pulls the curtains over the windows. Hundreds of stars light up the walls when Yeongbok switches on the lamp.

"Who needs a little extra help getting to sleep today?" He asks quietly, switching on the speaker next.

The sound of somebody playing the piano graces your ears.

A couple of kids raise their hands, including you. No matter how tired you are, it's still scary falling asleep in a new place.

Hyunjin comes over to you.

"Close your eyes, sweetie," He whispers, settling beside your mat.

With him slowly stroking your hair, you're drifting off into dreamland before you even realize it.

At the end of the day, while you're all sitting on the rug, Hoseok asks, "Who here had a good day today?"

"Me!" You all shout.

"Let's share three things we're grateful for today," He says, gesturing to a student. "Let's start with you, Jihyun."

She tilts her head. "Ummm... Art class, Yeongbok helping me find my pencil when I lost it, and... Oh! Haen's cupcakes!"

"Oooh. They were yummy, weren't they? Jimin?"

He's got his answer right away. "Meeting my new friend Haen-ie!!"

Jeongin's got his, too! "Haen-ie sharing her fruit with me!!"

"Aw, those are great answers. I'm grateful for our new friend, too."

When it's your turn, you shyly stare back at the class. It's difficult to choose only three things! You're grateful for the EAs, who made your first day as easy as possible for you, Yoongi for making you laugh as he taught you how to hold the recorder, Namjoon for opening the glue pot for you when it was stuck, and Hoseok for being such a great teacher, even if he's bad at drawing flowers.

"I'm grateful for my friends and my teachers and the EAs... and nap time, and brontosauruses."

That might've been five things... But Hoseok doesn't mind. "Aww. I'm so glad, friend."

Hyunjin does that thing again where he looks like he's going to die.

Yeongbok chuckles, petting his shoulder in support.

Parents start gathering in the corridor outside the classroom as the rest of the kids share their three things. You keep an eye out for your Daddy and Papa, your legs squirming and your heart racing like it's trying to break out of you and go find them.

The last time you glance through the window, they're both there!

When they spot you, their faces light up like they always do when they spot you in school assemblies and sport events.

They wave to you.

"Daddy, Papa," You cheer under your breath, trying to keep your hand in your lap. "Daddy, Papa are here."

"Okay, my friends." Hoseok eventually concludes. "I'll see you all tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!!"

"Bye, Hoseok!!"

"It's home time!!"

As soon as he opens the door, you jump up and run over to the big group of parents, straight into your Papa's open arms.

"There you are!" Taehyung gasps happily, holding you tight. "There's our sweet girl!"

"Papa!!"

"Did you have a good day?" He asks you, kissing your hair and letting you hug Jungkook next. "You didn't miss us too much?"

"I missed you so much," You muffle into Jungkook's button shirt. "But I had a good day at the same time!"

"We missed you, too," Your Daddy chuckles.

As Hyunjin approaches the three of you, handing your backpack and artwork to Jungkook, you pull away slightly.

"Here are Haen's things," He smiles.

He thanks the man. "Wow. Is this a dinosaur, baby?"

"I made it with my new friend, Jimin! He said I could keep it because he has a lot of dinosaur drawings at his home already."

"It's so cute."

Taehyung adds, "I love it."

"She had a good day," The EA smiles. Yeongbok and Hoseok are talking to some other parents behind him, handing more backpacks and artworks out. As Jungkook gives your dinosaur craft to his husband and unzips your bag, making sure everything is in there, Hyunjin explains, "We did have a little hiccup this morning, though. You'll find her sweater in there. It just has some paint on it."

Guilt squeezes you as you watch Jungkook turn the fabric over in his hand. "Sorry, Daddy."

"It's okay, Haen-ie." He shakes his head, zipping it up. "Daddy just wanted you to have fun today, okay? We can wash it out."

"I also got crumbs on Mr Bear," You admit.

He laughs at your sudden burst of honesty, slinging your bag over his shoulder. "We can wash him, too."

"He'll love it," Tae agrees. "It'll be like a spa day."

Some people might think your Daddy is the stricter parent, but he actually breaks more of his own rules than you do, and it's him who's always spoiling you with new toys, treats, and clothes! He's a big softie!

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow then, Haen-ie!" Hyunjin says. "High-five!"

"Buh-bye, Hyunjin-ie!"

After you smack hands, Taehyung and Jungkook thank him again and they each take one of your hands, leading you out of the Playcentre. They listen intently as you babble about every detail of your day all the way to the car, where Tae lifts you in.

"Did everyone enjoy the cupcakes?" He asks, helping you thread your arms through the straps.

"Oh! Yeah! They were really yummy, Papa."

"No dessert tonight, then, I guess." He pouts, clicking the buckle together, before grinning cheekily at you. "Just kidding."

You stick your tongue out at him.

"Hey," Your Daddy chuckles, watching you in the rear-view mirror. "Save that little tongue for your ice cream tonight."

"We're having ice cream?!"

Tae closes your door and settles into the passenger seat as the car starts. "Didn't we tell you? Brave girls get ice cream, baby bear."

"Yay! Thank you!"

Cupcakes, new friends, a good nap, and ice cream?

You wish every day could be your first day at Playcare!

When you get a whole bowl's worth of chocolate ice cream all over your pyjamas that night, Jungkook just fondly smiles at you and sneaks you a second scoop while Tae isn't looking. He taught you that chocolate is healthy when you want it to be, after all!

Brownie

Little!Reader, CG!OT8 (Changbin, Chan, Minho, Felix are mentioned)

Chan = Daddy, Minho = Mama, Changbin = Baba, Hyunjin = Papa, Jisung = Appa, Felix = Mommy, Seungmin = Dada, Jeongin = Eomma

Request Info - - - - Masterlist

A/N: this fic is related to another fic. It is not required to understand this fic, but it is mentioned if youre curious 😀

You hum softly as you lay on your bed. Changbin quietly comes into the room and watches you hum and color for a while. "Hey, Baby," he says softlyx earning an excited squeal and a smile.

"Baba!" You get off the bed and run over to Changbin, who effortlessly lifts you off the ground and SpIns you around. "Baba, dinner time?" You tilt your head, knowing there aren't many reasons that he could be in your room.

"Yep, it's dinner time, Baby. And guess what! Mommy made some brownies for after dinner too!"

You squeal and clap your hands. "Brownies!" Changbing laughs and carries you out to the kitchen and sets you in your chair, the same one you always sit in. Chan and Minho are already there. Chan sees you in the chair and laughs.

"Hey, Y/N? Why are you in my seat?"he teases you playfully. "I think that we need to fix that!" He picks you up and sits in your chair, pulling you into his lap. Minho sets a bowl in front of you and Chan. Chan picks up the spoon and starts to feed you your dinner. It turns out to be Mac & cheese.

"Mama make Mac & cheese!" You giggle excitedly. "Thankies Mama!"

"You're welcome, Baby" Minho kisses your cheek and goes back over to the stove to finish cooking. They'd learned that it was easier if they fed you before eating. Never at the same time or after. To put it simply, it got a bit messy.

"Brownie now?" You ask as soon as you eat your last spoonful.

"Not yet, Baby. You've got to wait. Be a good baby and wait okay?" Chan places a small kiss on the top of your nose as he tells you this. you giggle at the kiss.

"Okie, Daddy!" You nod and stay on chans lap as the rest of the group starts to eat. Chan puts a movie on on his phone to distract you. While the others all eat, you watch your movie.

After dinner, Felix brings out a tray of brownies. You squeal, making grabbing hands towards the tray. "Brownie! Brownie!"

"Hang on, Sunbeam!" Felix laughs softly and ruffles your hair.

"I wanna Brownie now, Mommy!"

"Okay, Sunbeam. Just give me a moment!" Felix cuts you a brownie and puts it on a plate, carefully handing it to you. "Can you eat it on your own, or do you need help?"

"I can do it! I a big kid, see?" You eat a small piece of the brownie and look up at Felix triumphantly.

could you do more Mhin headcanons? The first ones you made were great!

MHIN HCS 2

gn!reader | wehehe :3

keeps the window a little open when it rains to hear it better

they don't keep many things out in the open but they do keep all the gifts / cards you get them somewhere... just can't bring themself to throw them out. whether it just says happy birthday! or it's a long heartfelt letter, they'll find themself pulling it out to see it later in the evening for a few days

buys snacks just for you and tells you they happened to get extra so you should just take some. or that there was a sale so they might as well have bought it. or that it's a thank you for some small thing you did a few days ago

not sure if it'll be an option in the actual game (maybe probably will be) but mhin wouldn't trust you offering to help without asking for something in return. takes a While,, something big to realize you're serious. a situation where helping them would risk way more than any logical person would risk

scene where mhin is offered what they want with the cost being You and they say no. the crowd cheers i fall to my knees

is their hair natural or dyed or what. who's to say. dyeing their hair together yaaay!!

not awesome with comfort (or being trusted with vulnerability in general) but doing their best. there's (what they feel is) one too many beats of silence where they can't figure out what to say. they purse their lips and furrow their brows, staring anywhere but you. their comfort comes with pauses in between phrases, trying to find the words that explain how they feel properly. it's…direct? but genuine all the same. "you're being too harsh on yourself." "there's no point in dwelling on it now. it'll only make you feel worse." "fuck them." < not comfort I Guess but i do want to see mhin straight up just say Fuck that guy and complain about people even more

will Not watch a movie opening night unless you physically drag them over there or pay them. like who knows how many/what kind of annoying people will be in the audience.

they also don't like malls. get them out of there. please. they scrunch up their nose whenever they walk past a lush (me fr)

mhin looks like one of those people that just knows random facts. i've never been one of those people so i can't give you a good example but you'll ask something, not actually expecting an answer, and they'll just,, know.

modern au university student mhin who knows all the good study spots that are Actually quiet and comfortable and not the library third floor that's always full. very specific spots in buildings you've never found yourself in and you promise not to tell anyone else about it for Both your sakes

nosy about drama. mhin might pretend they don't care about these people you're talking about because they don't even know what they look like but What do you mean they said that to you? What the fuck happened 3 years ago? what are you guys talking about? you can see them reacting from the corner of your eye even if they don't say anything

you guys remember that felix cg where you're hiding in escell's study or wherever. that. imagine. but in the senobium. let's think for a moment

moving mhin's bangs so you can kiss their forehead.... the intimacy of tying their hair for them.... pushing strands out of their face.... the way they freeze the first few times you do it but don't move away. they hope you don't notice the goosebumps on their neck or how they lean into your touch while you play with their hair. you do. but y'know

they get teased a lot because people find their reactions amusing (my bad) but it means when you genuinely compliment (or defend) them, it's all the more meaningful

The original lovesquare had so much more potential

I will start this post with a comparison. Just to show how much they did the lovesquare dirty.

PV Lovesquare: Bridgette loves Felix but he rejects her - Chat Noir loves Ladybug but she rejects him

CG Lovesquare: Marinette loves Adrien but "she's just a friend" - Chat Noir loves Ladybug but she rejects him.

Which is more logical to you ? Obviosuly the PV. It has been stated that the love square is identical to a "yin yang" relationship. Heck, even the original Miraclebox has a yin yang in the main miraculouses's place. Ironically, their relationship in the show is just very confusing. That's not yin and yang. They're supposed to be equal. And it is the complete opposite in the show. Their relationship isn't the same in and out of costume (Mari suffers from friendzone while Chat suffers from rejection). And Ladybug constantly treats Chat Noir like trash, belittling him, etc. Wait, that's not Ladybug. That's Astruc, the same man who ruined this show because of MONEY. Fuck money. I don't care if the show wasn't going to be popular among kids, can he predict the future ? And of the fuck refuses and invitation from fucking TOEI. The SAME studio which animated a TON of magical girl shows. Heck, even Sailor moon, the most popular magical girl anime ever !!! One piece, Dragon ball Z, AND Sailor Moon, those were all EXTREMLY POPULAR AMONG KIDS !!!

Going back to the PV; I prefer their relationship there because it's based on them being polar opposites. Take that: Bri is a happy teen, Felix is just well, depressed. Ladybug takes Bridgette's FREEDOM away, while Chat Noir gives it to Felix. See the pattern here ? There's a lot more, but OK, I'll stop there.

Thomas, Jeremy, and all of their crew are just money hungry. They treat MLB as a money-machine. It's just soulless ! Where is Season 1 ? Where is the top-tier SAMG animation ? Where is the expressivity in the characters ? In the PV ! Seriosuly, thay have no more excuses now.

#miraculous pv #ladybug pv #mlb pv #i'm sobbing #Fuck the writing team

💌 This is a work of fiction, I by all means don't force ship anyone. They have the right to love whomever they want.

🍄Wordcount: 2.8K

"Sweetheart, I have a surprise for you," Jisung said, squishing your cheeks. "What is it, Appa?" you asked words slurred from Jisung's actions. He chuckled, "Close your eyes, sweet thing," he whispered, holding your shoulder. You did as told. "Otay," you replied, letting Jisung lead the way. "On three, open your eyes, okay?" he said, poking at your sides. Giggles slipped your lips. "No tickles, Appa," you said, squirming away from his touch. Jisung chuckled, "Okay, okay." Now, get ready, sweetheart. One, Two, Three!" he counted down, waving pink tickets in front of you.

You tilted your head, wondering why Jisung swayed them in front of you. "Huh?" you wondered. Jisung's jaw dropped. "Sweetheart, these are tickets to the Sanrio Carnival!" he exclaimed. Your eyes widened. "Really!" you exclaimed back. Jisung cooed at your awe expression, "That's right, and I got tickets for the whole family," he said, handing them to you. Minho walked into the living room. "What's going on here? Why were you shouting?" he asked, crossing his arms. Your smile widened. "Mama, Appa got us tickets to the Sanrio Carnival!" you shrieked, nuzzling Minho's stomach.

Jisung sulked. "How come he got a hug when I purchased the tickets?" he whined, puffing his cheeks. Minho tugged Jisung by the collar, locking their lips together. Jisung squeaked into the kiss before melting into it. "Appa and Mama are kissing," you giggled. Seungmin groaned, covering your eyes. "Where is the decency in this household?" he grimaced, shaking his head. "You're being silly, Dada," you said, trying to remove his hands but Seungmin held them firm. "Am I really, munchkin?" he asked, sighing. "Who's kissi- Ahh!" Hyunjin screamed, covering Seungmin's eyes.

"Why are you covering my eyes?" Seungmin asked, surprised by the sudden darkness. Hyunjin scoffed dramatically. "Children like you shouldn't watch people make out" he chastised. Minho pulled away from the kiss, "Was that enough for a thank you?" he asked. "Yes, sir," Jisung hummed, smiling. Hyunjin scoffed, "What were you two thinking? Making out in front of the children," he scolded, removing his hands from Seungmin's eyes. You furrowed your eyebrows "Mama what does making out mean?" you asked, eyes still covered behind Seungmin's hands.

Minho stared at Hyunjin before smiling, "Our cute cupcake is curious. Why don't you answer her, Hwang?" he said, removing Seungmin's hands from your eyes. Hyunjin gulped, "It's nothing lovely, nothing at all," he rambled, rubbing the back of his nape. You looked up at Minho for confirmation. He chuckled, running his fingers through your hair "Hwang's right, cupcake. It's nothing babies like you need to worry about," he said, kissing the top of your head. You puffed your cheeks "I'm not a baby," you grumbled.

Jisung chuckled, "Oh really? Are you all big, sweetheart?" he asked, cupping your cheeks. "Appa," you whined, glaring at Jisung. He cooed, "Such a feisty little thing," he said, smiling at your adorable grumpiness. Chan walked down the stairs. He took one look into the living room and made a beeline to the kitchen. "I don't know what's going on and I don't want to," Chan mumbled, pouring himself a glass of pineapple juice. Changbin reached for his protein canister "Are you feeling alright, hyung?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Never better," Chan replied, leaning against the kitchen counter. You somehow managed to wiggle out of the living room "Daddy" you said, muffled against Chan's chest. He chuckled, "Hello, baby. Mind telling Daddy why the house is so active in the morning?" he questioned, kissing your forehead. "Appa bought tickets to the Sanrio Carnival," you giggled, nuzzling deeper into his hold. Chan nodded, "I see. Do you have your clothes picked out, little one?" he asked, rubbing your back.

"Can Daddy choose with me?" you asked, batting your eyelashes. Chan cooed, "Anything for my precious baby," he said, carrying you to the bedroom. You giggled, nuzzling into his shoulder. Chan smiled, standing you up on the bed "What do you feel like wearing to the carnival, hm? Your favourite pink skirt or do you want pants?" he asked, taking out the articles of clothing. You got down from the bed, looking into your closet "Hm," you said, pursing your lips.

Chan took a step back with you, "How about this?" he asked, taking out a My Melody checkered sweater, Hello Kitty-themed skirt/pants, PomPomPurin burette, Kuromi-themed hair pins, and Cinnamonroll leg warmers. You looked at the assortment of characters, eyes sparkling "Yeah! Thank you, Daddy," you cheered, wrapping your arms around him. Chan chuckled, dressing you up "It kinda works," he mumbled, staring at the arrays of pastels donning your body. You giggled, twirling around "Do I look okay?" you asked.

"You look absolutely adorable, little one," he said, lifting you up. You wiggled in his arms causing Chan to coo "Let's go show the others your outfit, baby," he said, carrying you down. Felix made eye contact with you "Aww, sunshine. You look so pretty," he said, admiring your outfit as Chan set you down back on your feet. You smiled, eyes crinkling "Thank you, Mommy," you said, bouncing on your heels. Hyunjin gasped, "Oh my god, is that our little love?" he asked, running his hands down your outfit causing you to giggle.

"It tickles, Papa," you said, squirming under the attention. Hyunjin cooed, "Cute," he said, patting your cheek. Jeongin came down dressed up for the carnival, "Why isn't anyone ready yet?" he asked, looking for his faux glasses. Chan chuckled, "I was getting our little one dressed," he said, placing his hand on Jeongin's shoulder before walking up. Jeongin smiled, running his fingers through your hair "Gorgeous, little angel," he said, kissing your forehead. You preened, "Thank you, Ninnin," you said, hugging his waist.

Jeongin chuckled, "Let's watch your favourite cartoons while we wait for them to get ready," he said, leading you to the living room. You nodded, clicking on your shows.

It didn't take long for the others to finish getting dressed. Jeongin blew a low whistle "Aren't we just going to a carnival?" he asked, eyeing the way his hyungs dressed themselves up. Changbin chuckled, "Yes but these are uri agi's all-time favourite characters, we have to dress to impress," he said, puffing out his chest. Seungmin snorted, "Besides that claim, we just wanted to look nice for the little munchkin," he said, tucking your hair behind your ears.

You got up from the sofa, "Daddy can I wear my Kuromi shoes?" you asked, looking at Chan. "Of course, you can, little one. Wear what you like," he reassured, preparing your little bag. Minho stared at those shoes for a bit "Wear socks with those, cupcake. Wouldn't want you to have blistered on this special day," he said, patting your cheek. You nodded, "Otay, Mama," you said, scurrying off to find socks. "I'll warm up the engine," Changbin said, taking the car keys.

It was close to early noon when you got to the location, your eyes widened at the sight of the giant Hello Kitty ferris wheel "Appa, look," you whispered, pointing it out. Jisung chuckled, "Do you want to ride that first, sweetheart?" he asked, rubbing your back. "Yes, please," you said, staring at the location in awe. "Why am I getting Lotte World flashbacks?" Seungmin mumbled, looking at the setup. Felix nodded, "You're not the only one," he said, taking your little bag.

Jisung handed the tickets to the concession staff, one by one they wrapped the entrance pass around their wrist. You gasp, taking in the sights "Mama can we get Sanrio hats for everyone?" you asked, tugging Minho's sleeve. He chuckled "I don't see why not," he said, following the signs to Lady Kitty's House Shop. You beelined around the shelves picking out a hat for each caregiver. Hyunjin trailed behind you holding a basket, "You can put them here, little love," he said, patting your burette lightly.

You giggled, taking Marumofubiyori for Chan, Chococat for Minho, Badtz-Maru for Changbin, Pau Pipo for Hyunjin, Corocorokuririn for Jisung, Kabukinyantaro for Felix, Pochacco for Seungmin and Pankunchi for Jeongin. Hyunjin smiled, "Wow, you matched us up well, lovely," he praised, looking at the hats. You smiled back, "Thank you, Papa," you said, standing next to Minho as he paid. The members wore their designated hats, loving how you interpreted them through the characters.

"You thought this through didn't you, sunshine?" Felix asked, kissing your forehead. You wiggled, "Ah huh. Wanted everyone to have fun too," you said, fidgeting with your sweater. Jeongin cooed, "We love them, angel. Thank you," he said, kissing the top of your palm. You giggled, running to hide behind Changbin "My face burns," you said, muffled against Changbin's back. Jisung laughed, "Aww, sweet thing. You're so cute," he praised, rubbing your shoulders.

"Let's go to the ferris wheel, munchkin. Wouldn't you like that?" Seungmin asked, changing the subject. You nodded, taking Seungmin's hand "Let's go, Dada!" you cheered, regaining your energetic spirit. They laughed, watching you skip while holding onto Seungmin. The ferry's wheel looked small from afar but it was way taller than you expected. You hesitated going on it, "Little one, you can stay down with your Mama if you don't feel like going," Chan reassured, stroking your cheek.

You took in a deep breath "I want to go," you said, determined, Chan chuckled, "Then hold onto my hand, baby. We'll get on together," he said, leaning you into the pods. You followed Chan's step, sitting down in front of him. Your eyes widened, panic settling in. Chan rubbed your hand with his thumb "You're alright, little one. Take a look outside," he said, pointing to the window. You gasped, looking at the overview of the carnival "Wow," you said, eyes sparkling.

Chan chuckled, "Pretty isn't it, baby," he said, keeping his eyes on you. "Ah huh," you said, barely taking in what Chan said. He smiled, "Enjoy the view, baby," he said, taking a few pictures when you weren't paying attention. The ferry's wheel slowly made its descent and the ride came to an end. You waddled towards Minho "Mama, it was so pretty up there," you said, sitting on Minho's lap. He chuckled, "Oh yeah? Did you get any photos?" he asked, brushing your hair with his fingers.

"I got them, I'll send them in the group chat," Chan said, showing his phone. The Jilix twins came running towards you, "Sunshine look, it's an U*sa*ha*na plush," Felix said, handing it to you. You brushed down the plush's dress "So pretty," you whispered, admiring it. Jisung gave Chan the carnival map "There's a mini boat ride we can go down later," he proposed, pointing it out in the map. Chan nodded, "Sounds good," he said, kissing Jisung's temple.

Hyunjin, Jeongin and Seungmin came out from their pods, "What's next?" Hyunjin asked. Changbin held a pamphlet, "I got us a seat at the Sanrio Rainbow World Restaurant, we can head there first," he said, turning to Felix to help him fix his Badtz-Maru hat. Seungmin nodded, "Sounds good," he said, walking along the trail to the restaurant. "What do you feel like having, angel?" Jeongin asked, walking behind you. "Hm, a burger?" you said, uncertain.

Chan chuckled, "Sure little one, let's hope that this time there aren't any pineapples in it," he said, getting a light shiver. Felix smirked, "Didn't you say it wasn't that bad?" he teased, poking at Chan's sides. "Yeah, but still," Chan retorted, speed-walking away from Felix's pokes. The restaurant was as the name suggested rainbow-themed. At the entrance stood the large-sized figures of the characters with Hello Kitty in the middle donning the colour red.

"What colour do you want to sit in, sweetheart?" Jisung asked, looking around. "Red, please," you said, pointing to the tables. Jisung chuckled, pulling out a chair for you "Take a seat, sweet thing," he said. You nodded, sitting down. "Sunshine, you're lucky they do have burgers," he said, writing down their orders. "Do you want a Gudetama pudding for dessert?" Jeongin asked, showing you the menu. Minho perked up, "Pudding?" he questioned, looking at Jeongin.

"Yeah, they have caramel pudding," he said, pointing it out for Minho. "Yongbok-ah we'll have two of these," Minho said, giving Felix the order code. "I think that should be enough for now," Felix said, handing it to the server. Soon all the orders came, "It looks so cute," Jisung said, taking pictures of every single one. "True but does it taste good?" Seungmin questioned, taking a bite of his Cinnamonroll blue-tinted curry. He tilted his head in surprise, "It's not that bad," he shrugged, eating his lunch.

You took a bite of your burger, noticing the burn stamp of Hello Kitty on the bun. "We're going for the boat ride after lunch right?" Changbin asked, eating his PomPomPurin Omurice. Chan nodded, "It's a slow ride, just to see all the Sanrio characters so there's no need to be worried about getting sick," he said, taking a sip of his Badtz-Maru Ramen Broth. Lunch went by smoothly with everyone leaving with satisfied stomachs. "Ready for the next ride, agi-ah?" Changbin asked, holding your hand.

You nodded, "Yup! Want to see them all," you said, giddy and excited. Hyunjin cooed, "So precious," he said, taking pictures of your joy. The boat ride was staring, "Daddy look, there's U*sa*ha*na," you said, showing Chan your plush. He chuckled, "Yeah and they're wearing the same dress too," he acknowledged, giving in to your excitement. "The Strawberry King is right to her too," Jisung pointed out, watching the Sanrio characters with you.

"Munchkin look up, it's Tuxedosam and the Noranekoland," Seungmin said, gesturing to the characters. "The Little Twin Stars are here too," Felix said, snapping some pictures. "They all have their little stations, it's adorable," Hyunjin gasped, capturing as much as he could. The ride then came to an end, "It wouldn't be a carnival trip without a good old-fashion ball toss," Chan said, walking to the stalls.

Seungmin grimaced, "What do you mean old-fashion, the only thing old here is you hyung," he teased, running ahead when Chan raised his fist. You giggled, noticing a giant Cinnamonroll "Baba, it's huge," you whispered, staring at the plush. Minho crossed his arms, "It's too big to put in the house, cupcake," he said, looking at the size of it. Changbin cracked his knuckled, "I can play the game either way, it's not like it's a hundred per cent win," he said, holding the ball.

You watched Changbin throw the ball, knocking over three-quarters of the pins. He held a My Melody blanket "See," he said, handing you the prize. Chan rolled his sleeves, "Let me try," he said, aiming for the throw. He managed to hit lesser pins than Changbin causing Seungmin to laugh. The stall manager handed Chan a Keroppi keychain. "Move aside old man, I got this," Seungmin said, using his baseball skills to throw the ball only for it to miss entirely.

Chan held back a laugh, turning away with his shoulders shaking. The rest of your caregivers didn't bother with courtesy and burst out laughing. "Oh my god, that's so good," Felix chuckled, wiping a stray tear. "I'll give it a go," he said watching Seungmin hand you a Pochacco plush. Felix took in a deep inhale and threw, "Damn," he groaned, seeing that he only missed one pin. The stall manager took down a Sanrio Carnival-only necklace. "I still think it's a bad idea having that plush at home, but I'll give it a shot," Minho said, throwing the ball.

His jaw dropped as all the pins fell. The stall manager gave him the exact Cinnamonroll plush that he didn't think he would win. "How big is this plush?" Minho asked, holding it. The stall manager checked the list "Give or take about 2 feet," they said. Minho blinked but nodded, "Thank you," he said, letting Jisung take the previous prizes from you before handing you the plush. You giggled, hugging it tight "Thank you, Mama," you said, muffled against the plush.

Minho sighed, "Your welcome, cupcake," he said, smiling. "I think it's time we head back home," Jeongin said, stretching his arms. Chan nodded, "Agree, let's head back," he said, walking to the exit. "Did you have fun, sunshine?" Felix asked, brushing your face from your face. You yawned, nodding "Yup, lots of fun," you slurred, exhaustion catching up to you. Felix chuckled, "You can rest on our laps in the car, sunbeam," he said, opening the car door.

You nodded, curling up on their laps. Chan looked into the back-view mirror with a subtle smile "Are they asleep?" he whispered, paying attention to the road ahead. Hyunjin nodded, rubbing your legs as you napped, "Yup, they're out cold," he chuckled, patting your thigh. Felix tucked your hair behind your ear "Sleep well, little one. We'll take care of you when we reach home," he whispered, cooing at the sight of your cheek pressed against his thigh. "Rest well," Hyunjin whispered, leaning his head against Felix's.

The ride home was silent but comforting. You had a great day at the carnival, loving all the Sanrio characters there. Now, rest. It's been a long day.
