You hummed happily as you walked towards the staff room. You woke up in a really good mood today. Why? Because a new teacher was coming in today, meaning you had less work to handle with a new co-teacher around. It was not that you disliked the kids in your class, but you had to admit that their activeness and restlessness would drain out every bit of energy in you after a long day. Your previous co-teacher had left the kindergarten a few months ago, leaving you solely in charge of a class of 20 children who loved running around everywhere. Of course the other teachers would try to help you as much as they could, but it wasn’t very often; not that you blamed them, they had their own classes to take care of after all. The kindergarten had been trying to find a new co-teacher for you since the departure of the last one, but could not find anyone suitable for the job, until now that is.

Please take care of me!” The young man standing beside the Head Teacher bowed. Brown hair and tanned skin? Fujigaya Taisuke? Somehow, the young man standing before you seemed really familiar, but you couldn’t put a finger on it.

Fujigaya Taisuke had gone to the same university as you did, also majoring in Early Childhood Education. He was a year ahead of you, and as far as you could remember, he wasn’t all too great of a student but his passion made up for it. With an easygoing nature, he got along well with everyone, juniors and seniors alike.  Also famous for his flirtatious side and his not-so-secret fanboy side for all things Disney, he was dubbed the “Prince Charming” of the campus. To add on, he was armed with good looks and a love for children, making most of the girls fall for him with a few exceptions like you. Okay, maybe you did… a little. But you would rather die than admit it to his face.

“So… how has these five years been for you?” he asked casually as the both of you made your way to the classroom. “Not bad…” But before you could elaborate on anyt
