Minjeong was fidgeting. Hands trembling, nerves shaking. She's nervous.

All she ever did was watch as the children color the give outs she gave them, with different cartoon characters in it. The children were happily doing so and Minjeong really has nothing to worry about, except that she knows Minji has been looking at her from time to time, beaming her cheeky smile, and Minjeong knows it has no double meaning or whatsoever. But, she sees the glint in Minji's eyes and almost the knowing smirk at the end of it.

Now Minjeong is more nervous than ever. She knows it was absurd, acting like a teenager who was caught eyeing her crush. She's an adult for goodness' sake so why is she acting like this?

Totally immature, she thought.

Minjeong proceeds to roam around, checking the children's works and giving them a short smile to show them that they did well. The smile on their faces after makes Minjeong wants to hug them and squish them, "Why are they so cute?" she says in a muttered breath.

She stopped directly on Minji's seat, because of a little hand tugging hers, she has no choice but to bent down and listen to what the child say.

"Teacher Kim, look at this!"

"What is it?" Minjeong took the paper from the child's hands, and she smiled when she realized it was a drawing of her family. Even it was only a stick figure and a bunch of doodles, Minjeong could make it out. Her mother, Doctor Yu, and her little Minji, holding each other's hands. It was an endearing sight for Minjeong.

Minjeong doesn't ask more, and gives a pat to Minji's head. She sees Hanni and almost laughs when she saw how she was drawing her, Minji, and Haerin, playing together. It was great that they all finally got along and how Minji got a little bit jealous at how quick they became close with each other.

"Kids, really..." she mumbled.

—

The last patient who had an appointment for them today had finished and at last, Jimin and Yeji can finally rest. Breathe for a while since they had to work ever since the busy hour started. They really wasn't expecting for the increase to their patients today but had no time to complain and did what they had to do.

Jimin slept for a while, since they still have to do a round-abouts for the equipments later and a report about the clinic today. Jimin was dreaming of something. But it was all cut off when a hand pokes her and she can hear Yeji's voice in the distance.

"Yeji? How long have I slept?"

"It wasn't even sleep to begin with, only for 30 minutes? Anyway I got a call from the hospital a while ago and told us that at night's shift, Doctor Kang and Doctor Bae will be replacing us. We're needed immediately at the hospital Jimin, and it seems important. You still have to pick Minji up from school later. Don't you have anyone who can watch her for a while?" Yeji asks her, worried about Minji's wellbeing too.

"Uhh... I, I have no one. Damn it, when do they want us there?" Jimin starts to fix herself, standing up and arranging the scattered papers that has flown everywhere since she slept. She fixes her coat and smooths out the creases in them.

"Now that I don't know."

—

Minjeong was walking to her desk, holding her students artwork while humming. This is good. Very good. She managed to forget Jimin for a while and it really is good. (Did she really?)

Now that Minjeong thinks about it, fate must be really playing with her because why would everything happen just as the moment she wanted to move on? (Ryujin still laughs at this point about her moving on.) She shakes her head, annoyed, and then proceeds to sit down at her chair.

The faculty has been quiet for a while since the other teachers must have been in their own classes.

"Now to see the kids' works... I have nothing to do for toda—"

"Now you do!" Aeri slams the stacks of papers right in front of Minjeong's table, leaving the younger confused and bewildered.

"Now I have something to do today. Yay." Minjeong mutters, sarcasm drips from her voice.

"Don't worry, after that you're free to go. I know your new lesson plan for the kids starts tomorrow, so no worries." Aeri casually says as she lends Minjeong a pen.

—

"Done! Now I need to see the kids. It's almost dismissal time." She says to herself while leaving the stacks of paper to Aeri's desk.

Minjeong walked to the other building then knocked on the door, seeing they were getting ready as well, Minjeong smiles at this.

"Okay, kids! Who is ready to go home? Aboard the happy train now!" Minjeong shouts then tells them to form a line and to rest their hand on the person in front of them.

"Your parents are waiting outside, now go." she tells them then waits as she tries to find Minji in the crowd.

She watches as the kids slowly disappear and decrease minute by minute. Then she finally saw the little girl, swaying her feet because the bench might've been too tall for Minji's little feet.

Minjeong sits beside the girl that she might immediately regretted since she remembered Yu Jimin, Doctor Yu, her sister to be the one to fetch her but it's all too late because Minji has given her a smile which Minjeong couldn't resist at all. The silence engulfed them and Minjeong thinks something weird was happening because most days (everyday) Minji would never keep her mouth shut.

"Is something wrong?" Minjeong asks, for a bit was worried.

"No, Teacher Kim, but is there something wrong?" Minji grins, and Minjeong thinks she must be really in trouble. This kid looks like she knows many secrets enough to ruin other people's lives when revealed.

"Minji... I have a question. Why didn't you tell me Doctor Yu is your sister?"

"You weren't asking Teacher Kim," Minji answers in a matter-of-factly tone and Minjeong wants to dig her own grave.

"Then why is Doctor Yu the one picking you up now?"

"Is she not allowed, Teacher Kim?" Minji says bluntly and almost wants to laugh aloud with the sudden drop on Minjeong's face but held it in out of respect for her beloved teacher.

"I'm joking! It's because mom is away so unnie has to take care of me for a while."

Unnie, Minjeong thinks. How cute is she calling Doc Yu unnie.

Their talk was interrupted when Minjeong caught a glimpse of Doctor Yu entering their school gate. Still with her coat on, and Minjeong's surroundings almost vanished at the mere sight of her.

Her nerves were failing her. It's unfair though, Minjeong thinks just because a Jimin showed up that all her consciousness left her body.

Minjeong stood up and is about to walk away when Minji held her hand and made her wait. Minjeong tries to function well in front of her but she really couldn't handle this embarrassment. Not with what happened earlier in the morning.

Talking about changing her clothes... what the heck, Kim Minjeong!

"Oh, hi Miss Kim! Sorry for the wait, but..."

Minjeong was about to reply and answer when Jimin immediately kneeled in front of Minji, and Minjeong whose hand is still held by Minji, couldn't really go away, forcing her to listen with the conversation between the two sisters.

"Minji, we have to attend a meeting today with the head of the hospital and you really have to go with me because no one will look after you if I leave you."

"But unnie! I hate the hospital!"

"I know, I know, it's just that—"

"Is Yeji unnie going too?"

"Yes, so you and I really have no choice but to—"

"Uhm, I-I can look after her, for a while, if only you want but if you don't, you really don't have to. It's just because I'm free and I really have nothing to do for the rest of the day and Minji is also my student and she is also my responsibility but if you really don't want. It's fine." Minjeong interrupted the growing 'argument' between the two.

"Yes! I will stay with Teacher Kim! Just go away~" Minji teased, staring at her sister, perfectly knowing that her teacher was rambling and it's all because of her sister.

Minjeong is silently scolding herself for speaking like a child. This really isn't normal anymore. However, her thoughts were rambled when Jimin stood up and held her free hand, giving it a squeeze.

Minjeong almost squealed in delight or shock, she isn't quite sure. (She down bad)

"Really? You'd do that Miss Kim? I mean, yes, if you could. It'd be a really big help." Jimin turned her attention to Minji, giving her a not-so-innocent smile that tells her to behave and shut up, "Minji please behave around Miss Kim, I promise I'll be back really quick, okay?"

Minji nodded and soon after, Jimin was gone.

Minji turned to Minjeong, who is still stunned with what happened.

"Teacher Kim? I know, I know, unnie's hand is really soft despite being a doctor, right?" She tugged Minjeong's hand and tried to shake her up.

This made Minjeong wake up and act as if not knowing a thing on what Minji had said.

She shook her head, and the two went back inside their classroom.

—

"This is taking too long, Yeji. Minji is waiting for me. They told us it'll be important but look it's full of things we already know."

"I know, Jimin. But we have to at least pretend to be interested, you know. And it's nice to see some of our colleagues again after a while. We've been really spending too much time in the clinic." Yeji grins, trying to bring out some humor in the middle of their boring meeting.

"I really wish Minji doesn't say something that isn't really necessary in front her," Jimin whispers, only for her to hear. Unfortunately, Yeji did and almost spitted the water she's drinking to Jimin.

—

"This is the way to unnie's heart!" Minji says a bit excited while she is trying to finish her artwork. Minjeong wasn't expecting this, not really, she didn't even know when it got to this point in their talk. They were just having fun, and letting time pass when suddenly their talk went on to that topic.

Minjeong couldn't even get herself to ask Minji what Jimin thinks of her. Thinking it was a bit immature and inappropriate, and she also is not ready to hear whatever Jimin thinks of her but Minji has been the one leading them to this topic ever since they sat down and started coloring. So, she only raises a brow and watches amusingly as Minji draws what Minjeong could figure, a cat holding a smoothie.

—

"Yeji, we need to get Minji now, come on." Jimin says, tired inside out. They were forced to listen to that meeting to what Jimin could only hear 'switch' and she really isn't planning to know any of it when she clearly knew it is something important.

Yeji shrugs, then runs over to Jimin's motorbike, mumbling an 'okay yes boss Jimin'.

—

"Go inside, I'll wait here. And prepare your apology. You've taken a long time to get here." Yeji says, letting her hands warm inside her coat.

"I know that's why I brought the bike, right? So we can save much time going to the hospital and here?" Jimin waves her off and enters the school.

She talked to the guard, asking where Minji is, and went to find Teacher Kim. Soon after, Yeji also went inside.

"It's cold. Couldn't handle the weather at this point." Yeji answers taking a seat beside Jimin.

"You didn't listen to me, told you earlier to get in but you refused and now look who's here?" Jimin smiles sideways, teasing her friend and seeing Yeji's eye roll, she finally laughed.

"Oh, shut up, Yu."

"Unnie!"

Both heads turned at the voice and saw Minji running to the both of them with a trailing Minjeong behind, bringing Minji's bag.

"Oh! She's teaching here?! It's the girl you've be—" Jimin elbowed Yeji in her side, seemingly effective in shutting her up.

"Just shut up."

"That hurt."

"Hi, Miss Kim, sorry for the inconvenience that Minji has given to you." Jimin said, taking her little sister's bag from Minjeong.

"Not even a 'hi' to me unnie? Really?" Minji said before cradling in Yeji's arms.

Jimin could only give out an awkward laugh and glared at the two of them. Before, Jimin could even speak; Yeji already beat her to it.

"You know what, Teacher Kim? It looks like you're going home as well? Am I right?" Yeji asked, already plotting their evil and genius plan as what Minji had told her just a while ago.

"Yes, actually. I was planning to go home soon after Doctor Yu pick Minji up." Minjeong explained, still avoiding Jimin in the hopes of not having a heart attack any moment now.

"Well, Jimin here could give you a ride back home because me, Yeji, will actually be the one to bring Minji home, am I right Minji?" Minji innocently nodded, internally enjoying the sight of her sister gulping.

"And in exchange of looking after Minji, she would really like it if you accept." Yeji tried to persuade her even more. And poor Minjeong, poor, poor Minjeong who almost survive two heart attacks. They weren't even considering Jimin's opinion here and the two decided already.

Minjeong is flustered and she glances back at Jimin to see how she is glaring at her friend, thinking that Jimin is bothered by this, she denies, "Ah! It's fine, you really don't have to. I can just walk home by myself, it's just—"

"Walk?" Yeji looked at Minji.

"By yourself?" Minji looked at Yeji. Jimin was speechless.

"Miss Kim at this hour it could be dangerous."

"At this hour? It's still 6 in the afternoon, still early and—" Minjeong tries to say but—

"Oh no Miss Kim, we are deeply worried about your wellbeing especially my friend here," Yeji pointed to Jimin but the latter slaps it off and tried to act like she didn't do anything wrong.

"Yes," Jimin finally speaks and all eyes were on her.

"Yes, e-excuse me what?" Minjeong turns her head to Jimin, trying to find hesitation, which is fortunately, isn't there. Jimin looks like she means it, actually.

"We'll go now Jimin! Enjoy!" Yeji winks at her and Jimin gives her a brief glance before glaring at them and scampering off.

"Nice job unnie!" Minji high-fived Yeji, whose smile could reach their ears with their conspiracy against Jimin.

"Jimin should really treat us to dinner after this, right Minji?" Yeji said as they walked away, with a nodding Minji answering her.

—

"Uhh... it's... it's here." Jimin awkwardly pointed to the motorbike that is just meters away from them.

"Is it alright?" Jimin asks pertaining if Minjeong was alright with just this.

But Minjeong is too busy being nervous and her mind had stopped functioning knowing that Jimin was just staring at her all the way.

"I, uhm, I'm sorry what is it?" Minjeong smiled sheepishly, embarrassment now flooding her insides.

Minjeong, wake up!

Jimin chuckled and Minjeong wanted to melt right then and there, "I asked if you're alright with a bike?"

"Oh, yes, I'm fine, no bothers." Minjeong 'coolly' shrugged it off but in all honesty, she never really had the chance to ride one.

"Okay then," Jimin gave her a helmet and Minjeong puts it on. Jimin looks back at her shortly, noticing that Minjeong did not close the strap on the helmet. Jimin walked towards her.

"I-uhm, Doctor Yu what is it?" Minjeong nervously asked as she stepped backward with Jimin's sudden movement.

"You... you didn't close the strap, you have to close the strap so I can assure that your head is not rolling away in the road." Jimin joked.

"W-what?" Minjeong tried to fidget with the strap of the helmet but she really couldn't figure it out.

"You just get the two ends of it and clasp them together," Jimin says but seeing Minjeong helpless with it, she decides to intervene.

"You just..." Jimin mumbles,

"It's alright I can..." Minjeong tries to say.

"No, you're tangling them together,"

"I figured it out now. You don't really have to..."

"There, it's done, easy as that."

Jimin looked up to see how close their faces are, the only distance that separates the both of them are Jimin's hands. Jimin suddenly feels nervous with the sudden tension arising, and embarrassment suddenly filling her in, she tried to look away but she couldn't not when Minjeong looks this beautiful up close. She really didn't mind it until, she hears her own ragged breathing and Minjeong's nervous sigh and wandering eyes, looking everywhere but her. Jimin pulled away and started the bike.

Minjeong please contain your feels and calm your heart, there's no concert here so why is it beating like a drum?? She looks more beautiful up close. Damn it!

"You can get on now. Just place your foot there and..."

Minjeong is more nervous than ever, her face, she bets, is redder than a fully ripe tomato. She panics for a second when she doesn't know where to hold.

"You can hold on me, Miss Kim."

And Minjeong did, except it really wasn't holding, it's her grabbing the layer of Jimin's shirt and pinching it. Jimin laughs at this before she wraps her hand around Minjeong's arms and tightens the hold herself.

I'm hugging her, oh my god, she smells so good what the hell, Kim Minjeong!

"But you have to let me breathe, Miss Kim." Jimin smiles at her. Even if the helmet was covering most of her head, Minjeong is whipped.

Jimin started and revved the bike before going on, smiling, feeling Minjeong's hold on her tighten even more and Jimin wasn't even complaining. She even likes it, Wait, I like it?

She shakes her head and turns her attention on the road too busy to even bother with an internally screaming Minjeong behind her whose thoughts only shouted, I hope she doesn't hear my heart, I hope she doesn't hear my heart, I hope she doesn't hear my heart...

They arrived, and this time Minjeong finally knew how to unclasp the helmet and gave it to Jimin.

"Thank you for the ride, Doc Yu, and sorry if I have to bother you, only because you were force—"

"Force? Miss Kim, it's not a bother, don't worry. And it is to return the favor for looking after Minji as well, it was really a big help. I just hope she wasn't a burden to you though." Jimin laughs and Minjeong thinks she's hearing angels singing to her ears.

"No, no! Minji would never be a burden, my students will never be." Minjeong smiled, her dimples showing and Jimin doesn't know what to do with the feeling that is happening inside her.

"I'll go now," Jimin hesitates then waves to Minjeong, too awkward for her to notice.

"See you tomorrow, Miss Kim." Jimin says.

"See you as well Doc Yu— Wait! Your umbrella!" Minjeong tried to say but could not anymore not when Jimin already left.

Minjeong enters her house, and then proceeds to rethink on her life. She drops on her bed and squeals on her pillow, not even trying to calm herself down. Too many things are happening and it's just one day of having to interact with Jimin. What should she do, if she'll have to meet her every day?
