seventh day of school

  Hyunwoo walked into the building as the lights were already on and Minjae was playing with some toys in the middle of the room. He let Lil'Minhyuk in as he looked at the other. "Go put your things up and then you can play." He told the boy as he peeked into the kitchen area as Hana and Haru were at a table doing worksheets as Changkyun was making breakfast. "You are doing your homework now?" Hyunwoo asked 

"No, I am helping Hana do hers." Haru said "Changkyun did not have the time while doing his own homework, dealing with auntie, and then taking care of us. Mom is at home now but she has been working herself." Haru said 

"My bad, I said I was sorry!" Changkyun looked at them 

"It is okay." Hana nodded "You are doing your best." She said as she was turned back to worksheet. 

Hyunwoo only nodded as he looked at them as he walked back to the front of the building just sitting down as Lil'Minhyuk was playing with cars with Minjae just talking to him. He watched as Hoseok walked with Yeojin just letting her run off as she saw Hana walking in the room with a few dolls in her hands. "Morning." He said 

"Hey." Hoseok yawned as he was carrying his stuff and Yeojin's. He walked down the hall as he walked to his classroom just turning on the lights as he set his things down on his desk as he heard two girl's voices coming down the hall way. "Good morning, princesses." Hoseok said as he looked at Hana carrying in her backpack. 

"Hi, seokie!" Hana smiled as she set her things in her cubby. "Can we stay in here and play until breakfast?" She asked as Hoseok nodded. She sat down with Yeojin as they started to play with the dolls that she had brought with her. 

Back in the main room, Hyungwon walked in with Seungjun just having his doctor's coat over his arm as he let Seungjun go on up ahead. He sighed as he looked at set down Seungjun's things ontop of a toy cabinet. "Where is Minhyuk?" He asked as the person in question poked his head out of his office door. 

"Yeah?" He asked 

"I have to go to a meeting this morning. I'll be back by lunch time." Hyungwon said as he looked at him. 

"Yeah, okay. See you then." Minhyuk said as he watched Hyungwon hug Seungjun as he waved to the others in the room just leaving. Minhyuk closed his office door as he looked at the others. "I thought that today we could start off with a art project." He said as Sarang and Haneul came into the room. 

"Morning guys." Sarang said as she set down Haneul's backpack as she looked around. 

"Kihyun is helping Jooyui with a party for a couple months. It is a party for some music thing." Minhyuk said as he looked at her. "If you leave now then you might be able to catch him at the cafe." He added

"Alright. Bye Haneul. Behave." Sarang said as she waved bye to them as she left the building. 

Jooheon walked in a few minutes just carrying Minho as he set him down. "Sorry, Yerin had a early morning project meeting for one of her classes and I had to go pick up this one." He said as he walked over. He watched as Minhyuk was laying out plastic tarps on the ground. "Oh yeah, today I was suppose to prepare that art stuff. I will get right on that. Come on, Minho. You can help me." Jooheon said as he set him down on his feet. 

"Breakfast is ready!" Changkyun said 

"Can I go eat first?" Minho looked at Jooheon

"Yeah, of course. You do not have to ask that." Jooheon said as he watched him walk off to the cafertia area with the others. Jooheon walked to the art room just turning on the lights as he start searching for the right paints. He peered out of the art room as it was right next to the kindergarden room as he could hear Hyunwoo on the phone with someone. 

"What? Model? They want me to model or -" Hyunwoo sighed as he was on the phone with Mi. 

Jooheon held the paint bottles as he leaned out of his door just listening in as he was wondering what this was about. He knew that Hyunwoo was often stopped on the streets for this kind of thing, but he would always turn them down as that wasn't his thing - plus his personality was very entertainer like at times. 

"Hyunwoo, it is just a little photoshoot. Maybe you can finally get a few jobs then get your own place." Mi said 

"I have a job  and I do not mind living with Minhyuk and Jooyui. Plus who would watch Lil'Minhyuk?" He asked "I'd rather put my degree to use that I put a lot work into. I am not saying your job is not hard work either." Hyunwoo said 

"Yeah, looks how much more use you could get. It would be like getting a second job. He can come and hang out. He is old enough to behave for a few hours." Mi said "I thought you would jump at this since it could get your closer to your own place. Plus you have the  goods for it." She said 

"Well you were wrong and do not understand me like I thought. I'll let you know when to come and pick up Lil'Minhyuk. Goodbye, Mi." Hyunwoo hung up as he set his phone down as he peered back as Jooheon quickly lifted back into the arm room just hurrying back to his paint basket just filling it up. Hyunwoo walked out with his buckets of paint brushes as he walked into the art room. "Were you evesdropping?" He asked 

"Uhmm, no?" Jooheon asked as he looked at the older one. "I didn't hear a thing." Jooheon said as he picked up his paint basket. "Granted, you might have the goods but skills are very much lacking." Jooheon laughed a bit as Hyunwoo shoved him as he walked off. "Hey! I am soft, don't shove me - bear!" Jooheon said as he marched after him. 

They walked back up to the front where Hoseok was taping down the tarps. He looked up at them as he was pulling the tape closer to him. "Minhyuk said that each tarp gets a bucket and a plate of paint." Hoseok said as he watched the two nod. "Something wrong big bear?" He looked at Hyunwoo

"No, there is not." Hyunwoo said as he set down the buckets of paint brushes that he had as he walked off to the cafeteria area. 

Hoseok looked at Jooheon who was setting down plates in places on the tarps as he tossed a brush at Jooheon. "What is his problem?" He asked as he looked at him. 

"I do not know. Probably just lack of sleep and then he is grumpy bear." Jooheon said as he looked at him. Jooheon started walk back to the area where the paint smocks were as Hoseok rushed after him.

Sarang sighed as she walked into the cafe just seeing Kihyun helping Jooyui as he looked that he was just about to leave as she walked in. She waved to him as he waved back. "Morning." She said as she looked at him. 

"Good morning." Kihyun said as he passed her. "I have to get to the daycare before those idiots just let the kids run wild with paint." Kihyun said "I'll text you later." He added as he slipped out as he went past her. 

"Okay." Sarang laughed a little as she looked at Jooyui. She looked more stressed than normal. "Are you okay, unni?" She asked as she walked behind the counter. 

"My parents flight lands late tonight. Do you think that you can watch Minjae? Hyunwoo has to take home Lil'Minhyuk and I expect him to just to watch him again." Jooyui said as she looked at her

"Yeah, of course. I  can watch Minjae. Hanuel would love that and if I need help then I can just call Kihyun." Sarang said as she looked at her

"Thanks, I will leave for a bit after lunch and get Minjae's things ready for you. I will even pay you." Jooyui said as she looked at her Jooyui started decorating cupcakes as Sarang shook her head. 

"You will not pay me to watch Minjae." Sarang said as she walked to the back just putting her things away. She came back just strapping up her apron on as she grabbed her takng order pad as she checked her pen as she walked to the first table. 

Jooyui looked at her phone as she walked back to the back as she answered her phone. "Mi, why are you calling? Shouldn't you be working?" She asked 

"I know, I just need to." Mi sighed as she leaned on her elbow. "I need some help." She said 

"On what?" Jooyui asked 

"With Hyunwoo. I offered him a job -" Mi started 

"Let me just start you there. Son Hyunwoo does not take jobs from people that he can't earn himself. Plus ones that involve himself being the center of attention. And you might think he has that great body and it should be a great assest but it is not. He only has that because he got fed up of people beatting on him then he became the stronger one." Jooyui said 

"Oh right you would know all of this just because he crashes on your couch. I was trying to give him an opporunity to get off that." Mi said 

"And for the fact, miss priss, that we are bestfriends. Hyunwoo, Minhyuk and I went to school together. And guess what, him and I were the bullies - no shocker there. Mi, he doesn't take hand outs. He pays for that couch by helping around and watching Minjae. Plus helping Minhyuk keep me out of trouble. I was not a good kid nor good adult until I got pregant. Besides he is getting a good pay check for the daycare and training sessions when he isn't watching Minjae. Sorry that you won't get an easy cheap labor for the day." Jooyui said 

"You're not the only struggled as a kid, you know. I called you to get advice on how to fix it not be ed at." Mi said 

"Then you should have called one of the younger girls. What did you expect me to say? If you still don't know why I am ing at you then you clearly do not want to fix it for both of your benefits - just yours. I have to go." Jooyui hung up as she sighed as she walked back out to the front. 

Mi sighed as she slammed her phone down on the make up counter as she looked at he models just finishing up the last round for their spring line coming into the store. She looked over to the photographer as she looked at the group of boys waiting for either their over time pay or be told to go home. "I'll pay you all extra." Mi shook her head as she waved at the stylists to get them ready. She got up as she pulled a rack of clothes to the stylists. "Go ahead and dress them up in these as well." She said 

"Did you say to save those?" The stylist asked 

"Yeah, he won't be coming. It will be split up between them." Mi walked over to the photographer as she sat down just looking at the film coming in. She didn't really have time now to think about Jooyui had told her. Maybe she had only called her to have someone to help her fix it to her liking and help her think that she had not really done anything wrong - which she hadn't. She simply got up as she grabbed her phone as she pulled up her texts just texting Hyunwoo, "Hey. Can we talk in person later?" as she pressed send she slipped her phone in her jacket pocket as she sat back down just looking at the flim.

Chaeyeon pushed a cart into a room as she was preparing some shots as she looked at the older woman watching tv. "Morning." Chaeyeon smiled as she flicked the neddle a little. She pushed the needle into the IV as the woman did not answer. "I will be back later to check on you. Do you need anything?" She asked as this woman had just been brought into the center from the hospital from recovering from a . She sighed as the woman only shooed her away. "Okay then." She pushed the cart out just joting some things down on her chart outside of the room. 

"Is she still not talking verbally?" Eunji walked by just carrying a stack of x-rays file folders. 

"Yeah, she won't even make noise to me. She just shooes me away." Chaeyeon said "Maybe you should go in and check on her next. You are making more progress with her." Chaeyeon followed Eunji down the hall as she was rolling to her next room. 

"We can try that so how was your weekend?" Eunji asked 

"You should know. I covered one of your shifts so you could celebrate whatever you were doing." Chaeyeon said as she glared at her. "I had to drop off Jin at the pool then dash then Hoseok had to watch her all night." Chaeyeon said 

"You got the extra money, oh Hoseok. He has a first name now?" Eunji looked at her "Not just Yeojin's teacher? Wait by watched her all night - do you mean you stayed at his place?" Eunji stopped her as Chaeyeon pushed past her. 

"I have to get to work." Chaeyeon pushed the cart in a room. 

"You'll tell me soon enough!" Eunji called at her as she kept going. 

Chaeyeon shook her head as she smiled to one of her regulars. "Morning. I hope you slept better than the other day." She said as the old man nodded at her. 

"Yes, very much. That medicine change has helped a lot." The old man said "My daughter said that if my physical therapy keeps going like it is then I'll be back at home in time for my grandaughter's birthday." The old man nodded 

"Awesome! I am really gald for that. Well everything looks good. I"ll be back with your lunch in a few hours and to recheck everything. Remeber to press your call button if you need us. Don't try to get up on your own." Chaeyeon said as she left the room just pushing her cart out. She sighed as she pushed the chart to teh nurses station as she started stocking up her chart with the right items for the next rooms. She looked at her phone for a couple of minutes as it was mainly just texts from friends or notifcations from apps. She did have a few pictures from Hoseok of Yeojin and Hana paiting something. She smiled as she put her phone away as she went on to her next rooms.

Sooyoung sat her desk as she was typing up meeting files for the meeing next week just so that everyone had the same notes and slide show pages. She looked up from her computer as she looked at the guy stanidng there at the counter. "Hello-" She started as she heard a voice. 

"Do not worry about this, Sooyoung. I can handle this." Another male walks up a she nods. 

Sooyoung nodded as she watched them leave as she went back to typing on her phone. She sighed as she leaned back in her chair as she stretched her arms just looking at her phone as Hyungwon was texting her through his floor meeting just away to keep himself awake. She unlocked her phone just smiling to herself as she texted him back just typing, "Just think thirty more minutes then you're set free." She got a smiple text back of when was her lunch time and she said around noon and then got a reply of did she want to eat lunch with him. She leaned on her elbow as she smiled again. She typed, "Alright, I would love to." She pressed send as she started on her typing again just sending an email to her boss that she would be going out for lunch today. She got a reply that was fine and just to be back in an hour for her lunch break and if anything comes up just call her. Sooyoung replied with a thank you and she would do that. She went back to typing as she was thinking of somehting to eat later on in the day with Hyungwon.
