It was just another sunny day as the sunshine brightens the earth’s surface. People walking down the streets, jogging or even cuddling with each other, feeling like the world is just a perfect place to be; very peaceful. The smell of coffee, freshly baked cakes and breads piercing through the bakery shops, children skipping around the town with wide smiles on their faces. You’ve always wished for things to stay as they were. Sighing, you sat down on the bench across the park, smiling, looking at the towns people hanging around with their families and friends and that’s when your mind starts wandering off, and frowned deep in thought, thinking how it would feel like if chaos reign over the world.

Your mind snapped back to reality as you saw a 4 year old girl tripped in front of you and cried. You let out a small sigh, stood up from the bench and kneeled in front of the little girl, trying to help her get up to her feet.

"Are you ok sweetie?" You asked.

The child stopped crying, teary eyes focused on your face as if she was studying you. You gently pat her head and wiped away her fallen tears on her face.

"There, there. It's alright. Are you hurt? Where's your mummy?" You asked again, smiling softly considering she didn't respond to your first question.

She glanced over her right shoulder looking over a woman rushing towards you. She was slenderly tall, with short, blond hair just above her shoulders, wearing a casual attire uniform. She had the "worried" look as she rushes over to the child in front of you.

"Oh I'm so sorry," She apologized to you.

"Are you ok honey? You shouldn't have run off like that." She picked the little girl up and glances at you as you stood up. "I'm very sorry. I hope my daughter is not causing much trouble to you. She have the habits of running off on her own when there's no one watching her," the woman said, giving a soft smile with an apologetic look.

You shook your head in response, "N-no, it's alright. She didn't really cause any trouble."

After a few minutes of talking with the woman, you wave your hand as you were saying goodbye to them.

Suddenly, you popped your head up, thinking what time it is. Taking a short glance at your wrist watch, you hurriedly turned your heels, panicking.

"Shoot! I'm late!"

_~ Le Time Skip~_

You panted, breathing heavily as you stood in front of a small playground, seeing childrens of different age running around chasing each other. Some are playing by the swings or the slides and some were sitting down scribbling or painting things on their papers.

"My.. My.. Aren't you a little bit 'early' (y/n)?" You jumped slightly as you heard a woman of your age startled you from behind. She had a long, curly, black hair running down to her waist. Wearing her spectacles over her eyes, she smiled at you, crossing her arms in front of her chest. Her name is Flora. She’s one of your best buddies. You've been bestfriends for 3 and a half year. She's the one who offered you this job. Yes. You worked at a childcare center for almost 2 years now.

You took a deep breath as you tried to relax a bit, "Early? Well, I've never been this 'early' before considering I ran my feet off to get here in time," you let out a small laugh as you both walks to the playground full of kids.

"You know (y/n), I reaaallyy need you to get to work in time. Peggy cried non-stop again this morning looking for you. Thank god we managed to calm her down," Flora brushed her hand in the air, clearly not satisfied as you came in late for work today.

"I'm sorry ok? I promise I won't be late again next time."

"That's a promise that you must not break. I didn't mean to get mad at you (y/n). It's just that, the children here love you. To them, you are their angel.." Flora nodded to you and then glances over to the children on the playground. You nodded in return.

"Well, enough of that, it's time for you to hit the counter table inside," Flora pointed her hand over to the double storey house in front of you. It was simple, lots of rooms for the children to stay in. Living rooms, kitchen, bathrooms, a room full of toys. You frowned in disappointment. You never really like the job being a counter girl. You prefer to stay with the kids, playing with them or teaching them. But what can you do. You were paid and you really needed those money for your own survival. Sighing and frowning, you walked over to the counter table, settling yourself, making yourself comfortable.

"Excuse me, miss? I believe that looks doesn't really suit your pretty face," You shoot your head up as you heard a man's voice. He was standing in front of you, leaning himself against the counter table where your (e/c) eyes meets his icy, blue eyes. He have a white hair, and is wearing a long red leather coat. He gave you a wide smile as he stared into your eyes.
