"Do you have a wound, Min Ji?"

─── :｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡ ───

Jongho woke up earlier than usual. Maybe because he didn't have to stay all night and wait for Min Ji to fall asleep. She was already asleep when they arrived at the bus stop.

Jongho went inside Min Ji's room and woke the girl gently. The little girl soon opened her eyes and hugged her father."Go get yourself ready, Min Ji. You don't want to be late on you second day, plus you told me yesterday that you're excited to see your teacher Yeosang."

Min Ji immediately stood up and took her towel. She walked towards the bathroom as Jongho chuckled and went to their kitchen. He prepared her food and went back inside his room to get her daughter's bag.

When Min Ji was done and is already dressed up, she sat in front of her dad and ate in peace. After brushing their teeth and taking care of the dishes, both of them went out of their apartment.

"So, are you going to introduce me to your teacher?" Jongho asked when they sat inside the bus. Min Ji just nodded and rested her head on her dad's arm. "I'm sure you're going to like teacher Yeosang, daddy."

Jongho just hummed in response as the ride to Min Ji's school went silent. Min Ji can't help but get very excited as she and her dad went in front of her classroom. She dragged Jongho inside their classroom and in front of her teacher. "Min Ji, calm down."

"Hi teacher!" Min Ji waved at her teacher and Yeosang waved back too. Yeosang seemed to see the adult beside Min Ji and he greeted him too. "Good morning, Mr. Choi and to you too, sunshine."

Min Ji just smiled at him and introduced Jongho, "Teacher Yeosang, this is my daddy, Jongho! He is uncle San's brother and uncle Wooyoung's best friend too."

Yeosang gave another nod as he is amused by how energetic Min Ji is. There's this little awkwardness too since Min Ji is the only one talking about the both of them.

Yeosang did also find Jongho cute but then, he was taken aback when he remembered the fact that he might be married since he already had a kid. And Yeosang didn't want to be called a home-wrecker.

"I'll get going, Min Ji. Be good to your teacher, okay?" Jongho reminded Min Ji. Min Ji nodded and waved at her father, "See you around, Mr. Kang." Soon Jongho left and Yeosang guided Min Ji to her seat.

Yeosang proceeded onto getting his stuffs and the attendance sheet. He once again saw Min Ji doodling alone on her seat. She still seemed downed when more children came inside with their parents. Yeosang knew that there is something going on in Min Ji's household but he knew he's not in the place to know.

Everything went by normally and Min Ji is still like yesterday. She's active and excited on everything they do. Playing with her classmates and doing some coloring or singing ABC.

"Okay, since everyone is wearing their PE uniform, we are going to the playground!" Yeosang announced and the children shouted 'yay!' and other excited expressions that made him smile.

"Line up then, girls and boys." Yeosang looked at his assistant teacher to help him organize the children. They were so excited and playful. "Don't forget to bring your water. We're playing a game!"

Yeosang took a ball that's not to hard or too soft and raised it for the kids to see. "So does anyone know how to play dodge ball?" Most of them said yes and some said no. "So can someone tell your classmates how to play?"

A boy named Yeojoon raised his hand and explained. Some were excited about the game and some were scared of being hit by the ball. "Don't worry too much okay? The ball won't hurt. Dodge it perfectly okay? Let's go."

The teachers and children soon arrived at the playground right next to the daycare center that's just a few walks. The playground has a field that's the right size for the children to play.

Yeosang asked them to line up, "Okay, I will be dividing all of you into two groups. I am going to start counting by one and two. Remember your numbers so that you know if you're going to be groups with team one or team two. Let's go!"

The kids soon started playing. As far as the game went, no one cried or was injured yet. Everything was going smoothly and no one was upset when they were hit by the ball, until Min Ji dodged the ball and fell right onto the ground.

Yeosang was alarmed and immediately ran towards Min Ji to check her. "Do you have a wound, Min Ji?" The little girl just nodded and showed the tiny wound by her elbow. "It's fine, teacher Yeosang. It doesn't hurt that much."

"We should treat this okay? I'll just ask teacher Geonhak to watch for your classmates. Let's go." After telling Geonhak about Min Ji's wound that should be treated, Yeosang took Min Ji back to the daycare center with him.
