The Ugly Duckling

shades of purple

Flashback 

"From this day on, she will be my assistant manager. That means she will be the one handing out schedules, cleaning the dance studio before and after we arrive/leave, she will prepare our meals (including mine, Henry's and Zhou mi's) and will manage the booking of hotels and what not. It's not as much as what a normal manager has to do." 

"Welcome to the super junior family" the boys said 

"I hope you know that when I mean by 'we' it's not just the band members" 

"It's also the make-up stylists" 

"The dance coordinators" 

"The translators" 

"The outfit coordinators" 

"The concert set up team" 

"The hair stylists" 

"The manager" 

"And the whole music production team, meaning the people who make the lyrics, the music and everything" 

"That's like more than 150 people..." 

"Have fun" 

... 

"Are the tickets ready?" 

"Yes, the private jet has also been prepared" 

"Did you book a hotel?" 

"Yes, I arranged all the rooms randomly. The members will be put in five rooms, the make up artists will have three, the dress and hair coordinators have four rooms, and we'll have one room for each of us" she said referring to herself and manager nim 

"Food?" 

"The flight attendants were informed of all allergies and diets, they were given a seating chart (with pictures) pointing out allergies and what not. The hotel has a private buffet style breakfast lunch and dinner, as long as they wake up at 7 they'll get breakfast. Next to the concert hall are a couple of restaurants and I informed them ahead of time of our arrival. And the hotel is really close to the concert hall" 

"Did you stay within the budget?" 

"Yes, I actually managed to stay within the budget" 

"Good. I'm glad you've got a hold of this" 

It seems like lot but it's kind of like the one month I took a break from modeling and looked after Kat-tun. Their manager’s wife was in labor so he had to be there for her, so I took over for him. 

END OF FLASHBACK 

"Mama, can you read us a story?" Hwa tugged my sleeve 

"Of course!" I was tired but for my babies I'd do anything 

"Me too, me too" Hae said skipping her way into the room 

"Once upon a time, there was a duck that had six eggs, all of the eggs where a white creamy color except for one egg. It wasn't white at all, in fact if was grey" 

"The mama duck didn't mind, she just hoped her eggs would hatch safely" 

"A couple days later her eggs started to move" 

"And by night time all of the eggs had hatched except for one" 

"All the neighbors said that the grey egg was bad or it died, but mama duck didn't give up" 

"The next morning the grey egg began to shake" 

"And the shell cracked open and out came a grey duckling" 

"The grey duckling was bigger than all the other duckling" 

"Every day all the other ducks would make fun of the grey duckling, calling the grey duckling ugly" 

"What did the grey duckling do" Hae asked sleepily

"He believed them! He said he was an ugly duckling and that no one loved him" 

"Awe! It's okay grey duckling! I love you!" Hwa said 

"Yea me too!" 

"One day the grey duckling tried to run away" 

"Why!" Hwa and Hae said in unison 

"Because he got tired of being called ugly" 

"The ground was covered in snow and the air was cold. The grey duckling became colder and colder and almost fainted in the snow!" 

"Oh no!" 

"Just then a farmer, who was walking by, saw the grey duckling"

"He took the grey duckling home and gave the duckling food to eat and a home to sleep in" 

"A couple of days later the grey duckling was no longer grey. The grey duckling was now a white swan." 

"So all along she wasn't an ugly duckling but a hidden beautiful swan" I said as I closed the book Hwa and Hae were now asleep. 

I heard the door open and close and a voice say "I'm home" 

I got up to greet him 

"You're home? I thought you're schedule ended two hours ago"

"It did, the members and I went out for a bit"

"Oh, okay. Did you eat diner already?" 

"Yea, I'll just shower and go to sleep" 

"Okay" 

As soon as he went to shower she ran to the kitchen and put away the diner she saved for him. 

I haven't slept with Hwa and Hae in a while. I thought as I lay beside Hwa. 

I fell asleep way before Hyuk came into the room

The days continued just like they always did. 

Everything went fine though it was a little stressful because the last thing I wanted was for the members and my kids to eat unhealthy take outs every day. So I cook for them, not to mention I make breakfast and lunch and dinner. (I'm only in charge of everyone's lunch during an overseas or out of Seoul trip) I swear

If Ryeowook Henry and Sungmin had not offered their help I would've had to wake up three hours early just to make food for this army.  

But at the end of the day it was all worth it because it brought us closer together. 

-One afternoon after completing half a schedule -

Hwa and Hae ran around the entire dorm yelling 'lunch is ready' 

Once everyone was seated and eating, Leeteuk who had come home for a small visit spoke up first 

"So Minji, have the boys been troubling you?" 

"No, not really" 

"Hmm" 

"Noona, how's it going with Hyuk?" 

Now that I think about it, Hyuk and I act like we’re acquaintances or something. But that should be okay… then why am I feeling like this?  Minji thought

Ahhh, what’s wrong with me? I seriously can’t stop my heart from beating so fast when I see her. Oh my god, am I dying? No, no, I’m healthy I’m not dying, we went to the doctor’s office two weeks ago, and the reports are clean, but then…. Oh yea, I’m in love with her. Eunhyuk thought

All of a sudden her phone rang 

"Excuse me" she said moving away from the table 

"Hello?" 

"Hi, it's me, can you tell the boys that their schedule got cancelled for the rest of today and tomorrow is a day off for them?"

"Sure"

The call ended and Minji went back to her seat smiling. A day off for the boys was a day off for her 

"Who was it" Hyuk asked 

"It was manager nim and he said that the rest of today's and tomorrow's schedule is cancelled" 

All of a sudden there was a load cheer 

"FINALLY A BREAKKKKKK" Kyuhyun said 

"Enjoy this while you can, SS5 is going to drain up a whole lot of your energy!" Minji commented and Leeteuk nodded 

"Appa, umma, samchon can we go on a picnic? Pwease" Hwa and Hae used their puppy eyes 

"Oh my gawd I’ve got to stop leaving you two alone with Hae, Min and Henry" Minji sighed  

"It's up to your mom" Hyuk said to the twins

"Pwease" Everyone looked Minji with their puppy eyes

"Fine, we're going on a picnic" she said looking away with her arms crossed
