“Let’s all gather around and sit in a circle to get to know each other!” The teacher gleefully clapped all the children over.

“This is going to be exciting, isn’t it?” Sungyeol gleefully commented as they sat down on the carpet.

“Shall we start with names? Let’s go around in a circle, and say our name and something about ourselves. Allow me to start. I am Miss Chae, and I like working with children, like all of you here! Would you like to go next?” The teacher look to her right and smiled at the cute boy with a cute bowl cut. In his small hands, a bag of cookies could be seen. He gave a shy smile, “I’m Jung Daehyun, and I like eating cookies.” He waved at all the other kids, and a few waved back.

“What a pig.” Howon quietly snorted. “Don’t be rude, Howon hyung.” Sungjong frowned. “He’s a cute kid.” “Pedo.” Howon whispered.

“Lovely,” The teacher clapped, “It’s nice to meet you, Daehyun. Shall we have the next little boy sitting next to Daehyun introduce himself?”

“Annyeong! I’m Yoo Youngjae, and I like reading.” He smiled. “That’s wonderful, nice to meet you, Youngjae.” Miss Chae said, before continuing on with the introductions.

“And now, let’s have the next student.” Miss Chae gestured towards Sunggyu. Sunggyu slightly bowed his head in respect, “Annyeonghaseyo, I’m Kim Sunggyu, and I like singing.”

“I’m Kim Myungsoo, and I like the colour black.”

“Hello everyone, I’m Nam Woohyun, and I like sleeping.”

“I’m Jang Dongwoo, and I like watching TV.”

“I’m Lee Howon, and I like purple.” The teacher nodded, “I can see that.” She looked him up and down.

“I’m Lee Sungyeol, and I like playing games.” He grinned.

“I’m Lee Sungjong, and I like teddy bears.” “That’s nice. I’m sure we all love teddies, too.” “I don’t.” Sunggyu muttered.

“That’s because you’re old, hyung.” Sungyeol snorted.

“Seriously, Sungjong? First the cute kid, now teddies. You’re getting creepier by the second.” Howon. cringed. “Whatever, hyung. I am not creepy.” “If you say so.”

“Excuse me, Sungjong and Howon, but we should know that it isn’t nice to talk when the teacher is talking.”

“We’re sorry, Miss Chae.” They both said in unison with puppy eyes. “It’s okay, but make sure you don’t do it next time, okay?” “Ne~”

Woohyun snorted, “Yeah right you’re sorry.”

“And now, onto the final student.” The teacher gave the little girl a warm smile. “Hi, everyone, I’m Park Jinae, and I like piggies.” She waved.”

That’s great, Jinae. Your pig shirt looks very cute.” The teacher cooed. Jinae blushed slightly and subconsciously looked down at her pink pig shirt and ran her hand over it. “Okay, so now that introductions are over, shall we all pick something to play with?”

The students all eagerly nodded, and rushed off into different corners of the classroom.

“Hyung, should we go outside?” Myungsoo asked. “Araso.” Sunggyu nodded.

“To the sandpit!” Sungyeol shouted before running out.

“Sungyeol-ah, you’re getting sand in your shoes and socks.” Sunggyu frowned. “You should’ve taken off your shoes and socks first, like me.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Sungyeol waved it off, “You can just tap your shoe against the wall later to get the sand out. Myungsoo, come make a sandcastle with me!” He dragged a frowning Myungsoo over to get some buckets.

Woohyun looked over to see one of his classmates on the climbing frame. “Hiya~” The little girl turned to see Woohyun climbing the rope to greet her. “Hi...” She gave him a small wave. “You’re Jeesun, right?” She nodded, “And you’re Woohyun?” He smiled, “Yeah. Do you want to... play together?” “Araso.” Woohyun held out his hand and she took it, beaming.

Howon approached a little boy sitting on a bench, “Hi, buddy.” The boy turned to face Howon, and blinked. “You’re Daeho, right?” The boy just stared at Howon. Howon held out a hand, “I’m Howon. Nice to meet you.” Daeho’s eyes went down to Howon’s hand, and continued to stare at it.

Howon put his hand down, “Okay then. I guess you don’t do handshakes. That’s fine with me.” He shrugged. “So, how are you finding the first day of school? Fun? Boring?” He asked.

Daeho continued to stare at him.

“Oh, okay, I see how you want to do it. We’ll do it with blinking, yeah?” Howon straightened up, “A
