"Lee Jihyun?" 

"Pwesent!"

Joohyun giggled at how differently the kids reaction to them calling their names. 

"Kim Minjeong?"

Jimin looked at the empty seat next to her and couldn't help but let out a small pout. She had been waiting for her Mindoongie ever since she arrived so that she could share her newest storybook but unfortunately the younger one couldn't be found. 

"No Mindoongie..?"Jimin asked as she lifelessly pointed to the empty chair 

Joohyun was about to tell Jimin that Minjeong might just be late but Seulgi suddenly interfered 

"Hyun aah, Minjeong mother called that Minjeong will be absent for today. The poor kid had been sick since Friday night" Seulgi whisphered 

Joohyun nodded as she let out a small smile towards Jimin who was still looking at her. 

"Minjeong will not join us today" Joohyun announced since she knows kids have a lot of curiousity 

Hearing that Jimin slumped on to her chair as Seulgi laughed at Jimin's reaction. 

Jimin reacted like her whole world had ended wherein in their little kid's mind is like their parents have prohibited them from playing and eating sweets. 

"Yu Jimin?" 

Joohyun was waiting for the older girl to respond even though she knows that the 7 year old was already here. 

Hearing no respone, she looks up and couldnt help but let out a small smile seeing how dejected Jimin was. 

The current devasted 7 year old girl has her head on the table facing Minjeong's chair. Her hands was seemigly caressing the object and Joohyun could the deep breath that the younger girl was doing. 

"Okay kids go out and have fun" Joohyun announced 

Joohyun walked over to Jimin. The kid didnt bother getting up to play with the other kids and proceeded to stay seated. Ning and Aeri have proceeded to their favorite playing area after trying to take Jimin with them but unfortunately the latter didnt went with and chose to sulk. 

Joohyun sat to the other side because she knows that the kid would be angry if she suddenly sat at the chair of her most favorite person in the daycare. The last thing that Joohyun wants is to let the younger girl throw a tantrum because one cry could make the other kids cry. 

"Jiminnie can you face Joohyun saem?" The teacher called softly 

The girl did not budge nor make any movements thus Joohyun softly wrapped her arms the sulking girl's waist and lifted her up. 

Jimin whined wanting to go down from her teacher's embrace but Joohyun did not let her and proceeded to stand up 

"No no no, Jiminnie down Jimin downnnnn"Jimin whined as she wiggled 

"Minjeongie will come back tomorrow"Joohyun said softly 

Jimin stopped her movements as Joohyun hugged the little girl tightly as she hears some soft whimpher. 

"Dont cry Jiminie, Minjeong will get sad if she knows that you are crying" 

"N-o swad M-Mindoon-gie"Jimin mumbled as she wiped away her tears 

Being the soft hearted teacher that Joohyun is, she grabbed her phone on her back pocket and proceeded to call someone. 

"Hello Miss Kim?" 

"Hello again Teacher Joohyun" 

Joohyun couldnt help but call Minjeong's
