Tzuyu - 3
This was a bad day already. Chaeyoung was crying and Dahyun was crying and Tzuyu was close to tears as well. Jeongyeon scolded herself mentally, quickly pausing the TV a moment before three toddler bodies crashed into her. "It's okay," Jeongyeon said as she rubbed Dahyun and Tzuyu's back," It's alright, it's just a movie, it's not real." It didn't help. Dahyun continued cry her eyes out as the first few tears rolled down Tzuyu's cheeks. Chaeyoung had burst into tears as well, curled up on Jeongyeon's chest and using her mother's shirt as tissue.
Jeongyeon glanced at the TV, the paused scene of Mufasa's death stared back at her. At first Jeongyeon had put it on to distract her daughters while she, herself, got some work done. It worked like a charm until, five minutes later Chaeyoung came running in, telling Jeongyeon that it was scary. Jeongyeon had hummed. To the best of her knowledge, The Lion King had no scary scenes. So, what could Chaeyoung possibly mean? Upon entering the room though, she understood what Chaeng was talking about.
"It's alright," Jeongyeon repeated as Chaeyoung's tears seeped into her nice new shirt. "It's not!" Chaeyoung cried, hands clenching around Jeongyeon's shirt," Simba's daddy is dead!" It seemed like none of them would be calming down anytime soon.

"Dubu!" Jeongyeon called as she looked around the house. "Lunch is ready!" In actuality, lunch was ready an hour ago but Jeongyeon couldn't find Dahyun anywhere. After making sure that Chaeyoung wouldn't burn the house down in her absence, Jeongyeon set out. The first floor of the house was cleared out quickly along with the second and third. Soon enough, Jeongyeon was on the fourth floor of the house. "Dahyun!" She called again," You need to eat your lunch!"
Jeongyeon checked in the play room. No one. She checked in her office then Nayeon's and then Jihyo's office. Dahyun was nowhere to be found. "Im Dahyun!" Jeongyeon yelled loudly," Come here right now or I won't read you a story at bedtime!" An offended gasp came from the wardrobe and a certain Im Dahyun came tumbling out of it. "Omma!" She exclaimed," Please don't! Please read me a story at bedtime!"
Jeongyeon giggled slightly as she picked Dahyun up and headed downstairs. "Hmmm," Jeongyeon said
