"Eomma!! Can you please help??" Micha cried out as her mom came into view.

She laughed at the state Micha was in, her uniform was right over her head and her arms were in the air, wailing around .

"Sweetie, that's not where your head goes! It goes in the big circle, see?" Her mother said helping her head get through the bigger circle.

It was Micha's first day in kindergarten, but she can't help but feel scared. It's going to be her first time alone with other kids, without her parents.

"Eomma? Can you please stay with me during classes?" Micha pleaded.

Her mom replied with a sincere smile. "Sorry sweetie but, parents aren't allowed inside the classroom"

Micha frowned, "But it's okay! You'll make new friends and it'll be fun!"

Her dad suddenly appeared, he grabbed Micha's waist and spun her around in the air.

he placed Micha on his back and they started walking to the car.

The family went in the car and drove off.

"Mrs.Kim! Glad you could make It." A tall lady said a tall woman, Mrs.Kim smiled and said, "Thank you for allowing Micha study here, just as I did"

"It's no problem" the tall lady replied. Mrs.Kim looked at Micha and told her.

"Micha, this is Mrs.Siyeon, she'll be your adviser" Micha nodded and looked at Mrs.Siyeon.

"Good morning, Mrs.Siyeon!" She said brightly while smiling, "She's just like you when you were young" Mrs.Siyeon replied looking at Mrs.Kim, then at Micha.

Mrs.Kim nodded and patted Micha, "We'll be going now, Micha"

Micha clinged onto her mother's leg, "Please come back for me, eomma" She said as Her Dad smiled.

"We will, don't worry" He said, Micha let go of her mother's leg and walked inside the classroom.

The classroom's walls were painted in pastel pink, lockers were at the back and windows at the left of the room.

alphabets and numbers were posted on top of the chalkboard.

There were also playblocks at the corner of the room. Were most of the kids were.

"Hey! You pigtailed girl!" A girl in a ponytail and glasses said.

"Eh? M-me?" Micha asked in confusion as the girl ran up to her, smiling brightly

"My name's Nari, Lee Nari!" She introduced herself and smiled even brighter, if that was possible.

"I-I'm Micha, Kim Micha.." Micha introduced herself.

"Let's play!" Nari said dragging her to the corner of the room, the duo laughed on their way.

~• after school •~

Micha and Nari were on the school's swings, until Micha's little eyes saw a boy playing by himself.

She got off the swing and walked to the boy, Nari cocked her head in confusion and followed her too.

The boy had dark chocolate hair that covered his eyes, almost as if he didnt had any.

"Hi! Why are you playing alone??" Micha asked looking at the boy, he looked up, his bangs brushing to the side

Micha blushed a little, what is this she's feeling? she's never felt like this with anyone before..

"I- I don't have anyone to play with.." the boy said, looking down.

"Then we'll play together then! What's your name?" Nari asked.

"..Hanbin, Choi Hanbin" Hanbin introduced himself

After the introduction they started playing on the swings, the monkey bars, and the slides.

The three enjoyed each other's company and happiness was with them all day.

And they got to know each other even! They have been the closest they've ever been.

Today was the best day for Micha, and she'll remember this.
