MONDAY

"hey, you!" bae rina, the girl who gave jaedam the envelope called her. "i heard you didn't give jiminie oppa the envelope i told you to give!" she looked at jaedam furiously, face flushed with the color pink.

  "what?" jaedam took a step back, looking at the girl confused but glaring at her tone, "i did give it to him."

  "oh really? then why isn't he saying anything back to me yet!" she whined, stopping her foot like bratty little girls not getting the toy they wanted.

  jaedam was done conversing with this chick and decided to take one big step back before heading off to her second last period class, child development class.

but instead, she bumped into two familiar faces. "oh. jihye, fenjing, what are you guys up to?" she looked at the two curiously, as they automatically stopped talking when heard jaedam's voice.

  "wha– ..oh we were talking about you and nam–" fenjing immediately covers jihye's mouth before he said his name.

  "let me guess." jaedam crossed her arms, "you two were talking about me and namjoon?"

  they both innocently nod as they acknowledged the time and continued walking to class.

[ 1 ] new text message!

all three girls took out their phones to see they all got a text notification. they all stared down at their phones and read the message.

the three placed their phones back in their bags as they walked towards the first stair doors, and continued walking up the stairs where they saw the other four waiting in a corner.

"finally." songri groaned as she got up from sitting on the floor. "let's go."

the girls opened the doors to the second floor hallway when they noticed that it was crowded with students. for a few moments it was silent.

"i was so lost in my thoughts yesterday night that i barely got any sleep." jihye started the conversation, as they all walked down the halls.

  "what were you thinking about this time unnie?" heryim didn't hesitate in joining the conversation, as the others sighed—already knowing her thoughts were probably stupid.

  "i was about to fall asleep last night when my mind asked me, turn down for what?" she explained and they all groaned, but obviously wasn't surprised.

  whispers and eyes were being shared across the hall as they kept walking in a line.

  "omo, it's the hall queen."

  "she's prettier up close."

  "her friends seem a little peculiar though–"

  "—do you want to be taught how to shut the fuck up?" songri said as she glared at the voice. jaedam knew this wouldn't end well, so she dragged her away to the side and kept walking with everyone until they got to their classes.

  "you didn't need to say that you know." she said.

  "yeah, you didn't have to. we know we're all ugly." fenjing spoke.

  "it's okay guys—all their faces combined would never out take all ours; especially me." eunmi giggled as the others were confused, not sure if that was a compliment or not.

  "what about me? am i pretty too?" hyesoo walked in front of the group and pointed to her face. the bell rang before they could answer her. she frowned and went back behind the group as they entered their class, a class they all had to take, child development class.

  "welcome back from your break everyone, hope you all had a great week." their teacher, mrs. chajung greeted, as she sat at her desk waiting for everyone to take their seats.

  "i have bad news." she sighed, "y'all are having your exam today."

  the whole classroom looked panicked and a lot where shouting or screaming. mrs. chajung laughed, "i'm just messing with you all."

  "it's worse then that," the whole class was silent. "y'all are having your first project for this class."

"—the baby project."

— ○ —

"our teacher is a sav." heryim said to the others near her seat, as mrs. chajung paired everyone up—boy-girl pairs, like actual parents.

"song minha, with moon bin."

"oh sehun, with soo seonjin."

"kim namjoon, with do jaedam." jaedam turned around to look for namjoon and sees him smirking at her. jaedam just turned away and rolled her eyes.

a smile crept on jihye and fenjing's face when they heard and this, but frowned a few seconds after.

"fenjing chen, go with kim seokjin."

"nae jihye, with park jimin."

the two turned around to look for their pairs looking at them with welcoming smiles, as usual.

"mark tuan, with bi hana."

"joo songri, with jung hoseok."

"aye." songri smiled as she gave hoseok, who sat beside her, a high-five.

"lee jihoon, with mi seungha."

"kim taehyung, with kang eunmi."

taehyung looked up, unaware of why he heard the teacher call out his name, while eunmi mentally groaned.

"min yoongi, with shin hyesoo."

hyesoo just nodded as she laid her head, hugging her camera. yoongi on the other hand was sleeping and didn't hear his name being called out.

"and lastly," mrs. chajung announced, "jeon jungkook, with bae heryim."

jungkook knew how bad his luck was, so he wasn't suprised being paired up with her. heryim on the other hand seemed gleeful, as she was ready to tease him about how he used the pads over the weekend.

"now get with your partners and introduce yourself while i prepare the project slideshow and the babies."

everyone got out of their seats and rearranged themselves near their partners, as they seemed panic of the idea with taking care of tech babies.

mrs. chajung started handing each baby out to a pair as she also talked about what we should and should not do with the babies. she told them that it will be ten percent of their final grade for her class, which got everyone intrigued. she also told them that it would only take about a month and a half before they start a new unit and finish her class, so people didn't mind the project after a while.

"i'll give you all about five minutes to converse with your partner, before teaching todays lesson." mrs. chajung announced as the chatter filled the room.

"what do you think we should name it?" eunmi asked taehyung.

"mmm.. juanico jr!" he responded, as eunmi regretted asking.

"okay, sure. but since you named it, i'll get the baby first." eunmi tried making a deal with him, "i want a good mark, so i want to make sure nothing bad happens on the first day."

taehyung thinks for a while before agreeing in defeat.

"hey jungkookie~" heryim said, teasingly to jungkook.

  "go away." jungkook glared at her as he also pushed the baby towards her, "take the baby as well."

  "really!?" heryim smiled as she bounced up from her chair, "i'm going to be a mother!"

  jungkook tried to hide himself from embarassment and pulled her down to her chair, "on second thought, maybe i should take the baby today."

  "aw, man." heryim slumps in her chair and pouts.

  namjoon and jaedam looked at each other, already knowing who was going to take care of the baby that day.

  "i'll take it." jaedam said.

  "you should take it." namjoon also said.

  "done." jaedam smiled and crossed her arms.

  seokjin and fenjing awkwardly looked at each other while having flash backs from recently.

  "sorry if you felt hurt with my narcissistic words." seokjin apologized.

  "eh.. that's alright." fenjing shrugged, "you're even prettier than me."

  "really? i am aren't i?" he starts complementing himself as she comes up with an idea.

  "yeah, you are. which means you should take the baby today, since you'll look more mother-like with your silky perfect skin." fenjing passed the baby to jins chest to leave him dazed.

  "oh.. okay."

songri turned to face hoseok and asked him, "you wanna take it today?"

"yes!" hoseok bursted and took the baby, "i promise to take care of it, and cherish it like it's real."

"okay man, chill."

meanwhile, jimin and jihye just sat in there seats looking at the baby laying on their desk.

"i would take care of if, but the girls say i don't know what's happening most of the time." jihye explained,

"well, i don't really care what happens." jimin shrugged, "if you really want to take care of it today, then go for it."

jihye had her mouth agape and innocently smiled, "what am i supposed to care for again?" jimin face palms himself as she remembered they were talking about the babies.

  hyesoo just looked at a sleeping yoongi while holding on to both her camera and the baby.

  she sighed, "i'll take care of it today." she then slightly smiles when her fingers grazed on the new necklace she was wearing.

  it was very thoughtful though. she thought.

  "okay, let's get on with the lesson!" mrs. chajung interrupted as everyone turned to listen.
