Teddy Bear

1

Jennie is on duty today alongside two other classmates to clean their class. Jisoo and Chaeyoung volunteered to help since its the last day of school for the week but Jennie politely declined, saying that she can do it herself. "Plus, I'm not alone. Sana and Baekhyun are on duty too." She let out a soft smile to her besties.

"Sana is okay, but Baekhyun? You'll probably gonna break your spine doing his part where he'll just slack off." Chaeyoung joked a bit but deep inside, she's worried. "Can't we just atleast wait for you?" There goes the soft spot of Jisoo.

"No." Jennie chuckled. "Just go home, meet you guys tomorrow!" She quickly hug them both, dashing out of the scene to their class before the duo could even say anything
Chaeyoung was right about Baekhyun. Jennie reached their class only to be greeted by Baekhyun who's now doing a fail twirl with the broomstick to impress Sana who's just staring blankly at him.

"Am I not impressive?" Baekhyun still doing his fail twirl. "My twirling skill is too amusing that you're out of word, am I right?" gibberish this time.

Sana blinked. "Oh you were twirling? I thought you were trying to get of flies. I was confused because I didn't saw any." she stated flatly but she really meant what she said.

With that, Baekhyun dropped the broom with his jaw hanging low. Jennie chuckled at the scene and it was noticed by Sana who's expressionless face turns into a grin. "Oh Jennie!"

"Hi." She smiled. "Sorry to kept you guys waiting. I had to inform my friends and text my little sister to get back home without me." Since she'll be home a little late.

Yeri was okay with it.

"It's fine! Let's start, shall we?" Sana handed a broom to her and she nodded. "Baekhyun?" Jennie called, Baekhyun who's head was hang low looked up with a frown. Hoping that it'll make Jennie say something to brighten him up. "Can you stop hitting those nonexisting flies and let's just finish our work?" She held back her laughter when Baekhyun whined but ended up grabbing the broom he dropped and started sweeping. Lifelessly.

The two girls chuckled at the scene and they continued cleaning without having Baekhyun hitting flies throughout the duty.

The sun was about to settle down when Jennie was walking down the road to her house.

She once again stretched her arms and tried to crack a few joints to release some tensions in her body. It's been quite a day for her indeed.

"Maybe Jisoo is right. I am getting too old. I guess.." She mumbled while rubbing the back of her head while trying to ease the tension at area.

Just when Jennie was tilting her head side to side, something caught her eyes. A few pile of garbage bag piled neatly under a lamp post can be seen on the left side of the street when she's on her way. But that's not what caught her attention.

It was this stuffed animal who's sitting under and in the middle of the light of the lamp post. Who wouldn't be attracted to this kind of picture?

She walked to it slowly and eye-ing carefully to make up what animal is it. "A teddy bear?" An eyebrow was raised. She held it up to and eye-level and study its feature. Realizing that the teddy was very clean and not a single scratch or dirt on it. "Now who would throw this cute little bear away? And it looks new!" She turns the bear around.

She eyed the pile of garbage bags once again before turning back to the bear. "It wouldn't be called picking up from the trash when its a little far from it, right?" Jennie paused for a moment, bitting her lower lips, thinking that should she bring it home or not.

"Wait." She thought for a second before bringing the teddy bear closer to her nose to sniff it. "Great! It doesn't smell, but rather scented. I'm bringing you home, little one!"
She continued her way home while hugging her "new" teddy bear.  Who would really just leave a perfect looking teddy bear on the street.

"I'm home!" Jennie took off her shoes and place them neatly on the edge when she reached her destination.

"Welcome h- what is that?" Yeri was about to finish her greet when her gaze into the thing her sister was hugging.

Jennie lift it up and eyed it. "It's a live chicken. Of course it's a teddy bear! Isn't it obvious?" She finished her sentences with a chuckle. Yeri rolled her eyes. "Yeah I know but- where did you get it?"

"Saw it stranded on the street, I just rescued it." Jennie said and went in straight to kitchen to grab a drink but not before placing the bear on the counter.

"What? You're telling me you just grab it out of nowhere, not knowing where its from or whoever it belongs to or is it really a bear and not a bomb?" Yeri grimaced at her sister.

"It's not! I've checked. It's also clean and looks kinda new. Check it yourself then." Jennie claimed after finishing a glass of water.

Yeri was not sure if she should touch it but she did it anyway. "Oh, guess you're right." Her sister then smiled and ruffled her hair.
"Yah! Uh nevermind. I bought a piece of cake and banana milk for you, in the fridge. Don't forget to eat." Yeri fixed her hair and head into the living room to watch some cartoons.

"Aww thank you so much, you're the best!" Yeri just waved her hand from the sofa.

After finishing some chores and taking a shower, Jennie went to her bed to get her needed sleep. "Let's not forget you!" She grabbed the teddy bear and raised it high like it was her favourite thing.

Somehow she grew attached to the teddy bear even though they just meet.

Jennie then went under her blanket with the bear. "Welcome to your new home." She mumbled quietly because her eyes were starting to get heavy.

She kissed the teddy bear right on the mouth before hugging it to Dreamland.

Little that she knows the stuffed one will no longer be a teddy bear the next morning. Because Jennie just activated it.
