The children's rooms were located on the second floor, where 2 children shared a room each. The doors of each were made of heavy oak-like material, fixed with a secure latch on the inside during the WW II, to inhibit the possible intrusion of Japanese soldiers. Every room had a secret trapdoor that conjoined to form a tunnel up to the attic, but now, they were barred up with bookshelves. The light in each room was insufficient for studying at night, hence the chilldren were disallowed to read anything eye-straining in their rooms unless the alcohol lamps hanging below a crucifix by the windows were lighted and that required an adult.

"Okay, kid, get in there." Kris groaned, grabbing a twisting Samuel by the ankle as the boy kept all ten fingers latched onto the railings of the stairwell. Junmyeon was coaxing him to release them, all the while shooting Kris reproachful looks. Chanyeol later learnt the hard way that the children actually did speak Korean and had different dialects too. That meant that when the kids complained, they grumbled in Korean, as if God only spoke Latin and English.

"Okay, Samuel, if you're not in your room on the count of three, I'm gonna pry your fingers off the rails with a meat cleaver, toss you out the window and shower you with fish oil so that the cats can have you for supper."

"Kris," Junmyeon's eyes flashed, as Chanyeol stepped over Samuel casually with Nora in his wake, holding his pinky. Samuel threw her a dirty look.

"What?" Kris turned to Junmyeon.

"We're in a convent, Yifan."

"I want Chanyeol to tuck me in, not you, monkey-face!," Samuel whined, and kicked out at Kris.

"I'll just tell Chanyeol and Anne that you're gay then," Kris muttered as he spotted Samuel's crush walking up the stairwell with Aaron and Baekhyun, and the kid leapt up and rushed into the room.

Kris grinned and congratulated himself mentally on a job well done.

*

"Are you sure that you kids don't want dinner before bed?" Junmyeon inquired as he watched Aaron and Samuel jump into subsequent bunks.

"No, we fast from 12 to night-time on weekends," Aaron shook his head and pulled out a storybook from below his pillow. Kris pulled the curtains together and peered down at Samuel, who was glaring at him scathingly.

"What? If you glare like that, you're eyeballs will fall out and Anne won't look at you."

"You won't tell 'em, will you?"

"Tell what to who?"

"You won't tell Anne that lie, will you?"

Kris turned to Junmyeon, confused whilst Junmyeon rolled his eyes and shrugged his shoulders.

"He's talking about the 'gay' thing," Aaron said without looking up from his book.

"What do you have, x-ray ears? You were a few feet away when I whispered it to Sam."

"Yeah, but fortunately, Anne doesn't," Aaron grinned at Samuel, "so if you I catch you my stuff again, I'm gonna tell her you've got a thing for boys."

They sure don't talk like kids, Junmyeon thought to himself with a sigh and blew out the lamps.

Maybe I'm getting old after all.

"Chanyeol, have you seen Mrs. Flippy Toes?," a very concerned Nora inquired, looking up at Chanyeol with huge Bambi eyes, her lips drooping at the corners as though she had just been deprived of a lollipop.

"Mrs. What?" Chanyeol stated incredulously and accidentally snapped his finger on the blinds, and allowing an exaggerated howl to follow his statement.

"Mrs. Flippy Toes."

"No, I haven't seen Mrs. Flip-It-Tows, is she a construction worker or something?" Chanyeol squeaked, his red thumb.

"It's her fancy rabbit," Anne called from the next bunk and tossed a couple of paper wads out from her pillow case at fussy Nora.

"Oh," Chanyeol registered this and a smile broke through his face, "is it a very fancy rabbit?"

"Uh-huh."

"How fancy?"

"It has ribbons on both ears, a blue party dress with frills and bows all over it. And shiny pink fur that I make sure she brushes every night."

"The return of Chucky's animal incarnate," Anne mumbled. Chanyeol, on the other hand, digested the information differently.

"Judging by your description, your Mrs. Fancy Toes was bred around the Renaissance era, and she must be raised to attend tea parties and balls or Russian roulettes as part of socializing. I'll contact the English embassy later and ask if there has been any sighting on Mrs. Flipsy Ears and if possible, contact the husband."

Nora stared at him as he lighted the alcohol lamp.

Anne stared at him as though he had some sort of green, slimy growth on his face.

Chanyeol wouldn't stop smiling.

"You do realize we're talking about a stuffed rabbit, right?" Nora asked carefully.

"Oh! I'll contact the Toys'R'Us embassy then," Chanyeol's smile seemed to exude rainbows and sparkles, and he adjusted the intensity of the lamp. "I'll be back in fifteen minutes to turn the lamp off, so finish your reading by then," he put up two fingers as the universal peace sign and pranced out of the room.

Silence.

"For all we know, Sister Rosaria could've let a serial killer into the convent," Anne muttered.

"I think that Yixing guy's freakier."

"Girl, they're all freaky snowflakes. Look at Chanyeol's face when he talked about your stuffed rodent, look at Zelo's face when he eats Skittles, and did you see Him Chan's face when he started humming about some kind of coffee? Look at all them crazy snowflakes!," she exclaimed and brandished her hands with a kind of dramatic flourish. Then, she climbed out of bed, placed a chair under the lamp and blew it out, leaving them in the dim light of the bedlamps. Nora watched as she went over to the door and kicked a mousetrap into view and in front of the doorway.

"Either way, I'm not taking chances," she shrugged and climbed back into bed. Nora flipped the light switch off and they were left in total silence.

Silence followed, and then...

"You don't think that he'll really contact the embassy, do you?"

Aaannddd...

Yixing's still unconscious. So he doesn't have any screen time in here, I'm sorreeeeee~

But I made it up by giving Kai a special screen time. lol, wtf are u doing with youngjae n kyungsoo, jongin.

Okay, basically, I should do some conclusive intro on the kids u've met so far. They're all Korean, by the way, and but they speak English when Sister Rosaria's around. Other times, they just speak in their own dialects which may be confusing to the BAPEXO members.

Aaron and Anne - they're twins and the troublemakers here. Aaron's a tad bit more discrete in the sense that he warns people before springing them with stuff whilst Anne just lands the on you out of nowhere. They've got the most character here.

Samuel - He likes Chanyeol, even though Chanyeol thinks otherwise since he's always the dude getting hit on the nose. And he's not doing it (technically) on purpose, getting hit, I mean. He's also got a crush on Anne, though he'd never admit it and he apparently likes Kris the least. He's Aaron's roommate.

Nora - She's more girly, to be frank, and she's the closest to Anne, since they're roommates. She's got a rabbit as long as she is, (she's short, btw) and named it Mrs. Flippy Toes, which Chanyeol doesn't know how to pronounce. She likes Him Chan, since she finds him vulnerable.

There'll be 3 other kids, and I'll introduce them later. The kids won't be in the way of the story too much, since the main focus is BAPEXO, so don't worry about too much aegyo and sparkles and exuding from this fic.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll update based on the view count so that new readers will have time to catch up. :))

And a special shoutout to roserika, dragon-yong, DaeJaeTheBestOTP and iLuvYesung for remembering me and keeping in touch even during my hiatus. You guys and a lot more un-named, and silent readers out there have been with me since The Invasion Plan and I'm really grateful. :D

As a thanks, here's a random poll for you guys. :)
