CH8: Where’s Taetae?
“Get up, sleepyhead!” Sica bounced on the bed while spanking her friend’s bottom. “Get up! Get up!” Hyo groaned and stretched her whole body before sitting up. Sica gave her friend a beautiful smile and ruffled Hyo’s hair. “Wakey wakey~ It’s time for school!” She informed. “It’s still weird!!” Hyo whined and gets out from her bed. Sica was puzzled. She followed her friend out from the room afterwards. “What do you mean, Hyo?”
“Sica woke up before Hyo! It’s been a weeeeek and it’s still weird!” Hyo whined and entered the bathroom. Sica laughed and walked downstairs. “Aunt Kim, Hyo is showering now.” She informed as the woman ruffled her hair. “Good job.” “Noona~ Noona looks so pretty today.” Mingu, Hyo’s little brother complimented the princess. “Gomawo, Mingu yah!” Sica smiled as Mingu shyly nodded. Hyo came downstairs a few minutes later in her school uniform. “Good morning umma! Good morning Mingu yah!”
“Good morning unnie!” Mingu said and ate his meal quietly. Sica pouted and patted the empty chair beside hers. “No good morning for Hyo’s best friend?” Hyo giggled and kissed her friend’s cheek. “Good morning Sica yah!” Sica smiled victoriously and continued with her meal. “Good morning, my princess. Here’s your meal.” Mrs. Kim served the food on the table before planting a kiss on her daughter’s temple. The three kids started to enjoy their meals as Mrs. Kim went back upstairs to shower.
“So Sica, wae you wake up so early nowadays hmm?” Hyo asked. “Em....Sica wants to meet Youngie so badly everyday so Sica wakes up early~” Sica shyly replied and munched on her cereal. “Oooh! So that’s why.” Hyo grinned and looked around. “Em, where is Aunt Jung?” “Mommy dropped me off here and went to work early, Hyo.” Sica said as Hyo only nodded understandingly. They finished up their meals and went to the living room, leaving Mingu all alone.
“I can’t wait to meet Youngie! She said she will give Sica her special recess meal today~” Sica squealed as Hyo laughed. “Sure you do, Sica yah.” “How about Hyo? You no mishy mish mish Taetae?” Sica wiggled her brows. “O-Of course, Hyo does. Hyo mishy mish mish Taetae....” Hyo confessed shyly as her friend squealed again. “Yeee! Taetae and Hyo are cute partners!!” Sica said and pinched on her friend’s cheeks.
“Oww, oww! Otay otay! Hyo gets Sica’s point.” Hyo rubbed her cheeks with her lips forming a pout. Suddenly, they heard their bus honked at the front yard. “Ooh! Ooh! Bus is here!” Sica quickly took her bagpack as well as Hyo herself. “Mingu yah! Tell umma I’m off to school!” Hyo informed. “Arasso unnie!” Mingu replied as the two friends bolted to the school bus. “Oh, really?” Mrs. Kim frowned and looked outside the window. “Hmm....Okay, Kimmy. We’ll visit her later on.” She ended the call and sighed. “How should I tell Hyo about this?”

“Good morning, my sweet Sica!” Youngie chirped and cuddled her partner. Sica grinned happily and snuggled on the latter’s shoulder. “Good morning my cute Youngie~” “Did my princess slept well??” Youngie asked as her fingers were busy caressing the princess’ cheeks. “Ahuh! Sica dreams about Youngie saving Sica from evil cucumber monster!” Sica said as Youngie laughed. “That’s good!” Sica only smiled and entwined her fingers with the latter. “Em...Sica yah~” Youngie called out. Sica tilted her head up and met with Youngie’s stare. “Saranghae.” Youngie whispered as she slowly planted a soft peck on Sica’s lips.
“Em....” Sica blushed and returned back the peck. “Saranghae.” She replied and snuggled back on the latter’s shoulder while Youngie cuddled her princess who was about to sleep. “Hi unnie!” The pranksters jerked their heads up and greeted the lonely blonde. “Annyeong chingus.” Hyo smiled. “Unnie, we have something to tell you!” Yoong said as she looked around the bus. “We are going to prank Sunny unnie today.” Yoong whispered as Yul nodded with a silly grin.
“Your secret is safe with me.” Hyo replied and shook hands with the pranksters as they made a deal. The bus stopped at another neighbourhood. Hyo looked outside the window and saw Mrs. Kim (Tae’s mother) entered the school bus. She had a little talk with the bus driver afterwards. “Taetae?” Hyo mumbled as she looked outside again, finding no one there. The bus driver nodded sadly as Mrs. Kim walked out from the school bus. “Alright let’s go to school now.” The bus driver announced.
“Mwo?” Hyo was surprised. As the bus started to move on, Mrs. Kim flashed a smile to the curious Hyo before the bus started to speed up. “Good morning Tae–eh? Hyo, where’s your partner?” Sica and Youngie jerked their heads at the back while the pranksters did the same at front of the seats. “Hyo doesn’t know.” Hyo pouted. “Where could Taetae unnie be?” Yoong wondered as Youngie shrugged. “Maybe Taetae woke up late!” Yul said.
“Hmm...” Hyo huffed and looked outside the window. “Cheer up, Hyo~” Sica ruffled her friend’s hair as their other friends nodded. Sunbun went to sit with Hyo afterwards. “If Taet
