Mei woke up with a sleeping Minghao next to her on Monday morning. She gently got up from her spot and headed to the shower. She got out and did her routine, but she realized she didn't have clothes in the bathroom. She gently opened the door, hoping Minghao wouldn't be awake yet, but of course he was.

Mei started shying away underneath her towel. "Hey, Minghao."

"Good morning, princess," he said with a smile, then he got up and walked over to her, putting his hand on her neck. "You know I've seen more of you, right?"

Then she remembered the night he came after Jiho showed up. "Oh, right."

"I'm gonna take a shower and then we can head out, alright?"

She nodded. "Okay."

He went into the bathroom, so Mei picked out some clothes and put them on. She sat on the bed and waited for Minghao to get out of the shower. When he did, of course the boy pranced into her room in just a towel.

"You're going to make me collapse if you keep doing that, Ming." She retorted.

"Doing what?" He mocked.

She turned her whole body towards him. "Walking out of the shower in just a towel looking all, attractive."

"Well princess, you kind of walked out in your towel earlier."

"Okay, fair game." She said, getting up and walking to the kitchen.

Minghao came out of the bedroom and grabbed his keys, then they left. They got to school and the guys weren't there, so she said her byes and headed off to her classes.

Mei was peacefully walking down the hallway when someone tugged on her shirt. She turned around and there was a little girl with tears in her eyes, just standing there. Absolutely confused, Mei looked around as she bent down and tucked her hair behind her ear.

"Hi baby, are you lost?"

I don't know where my mommy is." She cried out.

Mei picked her up and let the baby rest her head on her shoulder. "It's okay, I'll take you to the front office and stay with you until we get you to your mommy, okay?"

She looked up at Mei and nodded. "Thank you."

She cuddled back into her shoulder. Mei smiled at her and walked her to the office. When she walked in, the people in the office looked very confused.

"Mei, why do you have a child?" The principal asked.

"I was on my way to class and she tugged on my shirt. She told me she didn't know where her mommy was."

"Okay, set her down and go to class."

The little girl tensed up and started crying. "No! I want Mei to stay with me."

The principals expression softened and he nodded his head. "It's okay, I'm going to stay with you," Mei sat down in a chair and put her in her lap. "What's your name?"

"Mi-sun Yoon." She replied.

"That's a very pretty name Mi-sun," the older told her, which made her smile. "What's your mommy's name?"

"Hyun-Ae Yoon."

"That's a very pretty name as well. How old are you Mi-sun?"

"I'm five." She said, holding up five fingers.

Mei smiled at her gesture. "Do you know where your mommy works?"

"She works at the police department across the street, but I couldn't find her earlier." She said.

"Do you want me to take you there?" Mei asked.

She pouted. "I don't want to leave you."

"I'll leave my phone number with your mommy so that we can have play dates all the time. How does that sound?" She asked and Mi-Sun smiled big.

"That sounds fantastic!" She exclaimed.

The older laughed and looked up at the principal, who nodded, saying she could take her to her mom. Mei grabbed her hand and walked out of the school together. They walked there, swinging their hands back and forth, and eventually they showed up at the door and went inside. Mei walked up to the desk and picked Mi-sun up to put her on her hip.

"Hi, how may I help you two." A lady politely asked.

"Hi, we're looking for a Hyun-Ae Yoon. This is her daughter and she got a bit lost." Mei replied.

The lady clapped her hands as if she'd been waiting for this, and called someone on the phone. Soon, they heard running footsteps and sobs.

"Mommy!" Mi-sun exclaimed.

Then she was grabbed out of Mei's hands and smothered in kisses by a very beautiful woman.

"You scared me baby, I thought I was never going to see you again." She cried.

Mi-sun pointed at Mei. "Mei brought me here."

"Mei?" She asked, then she made eye contact with her and smiled. "Oh my gosh, you must be who she's talking about. Thank you so much for bringing her to me."

Mei smiled as Hyun-Ae pulled her into a hug. "It was no problem at all."

"Mommy, can Mei give you her number so we can have play dates?" Mi-sun asked.

"Of course." She said, pulling out her phone.

Mei put her number in and gave it back to her. "Alright, well I have to get back to school. It was very nice meeting you Miss Yoon. And Mi-sun, I will hopefully see you soon."

Mei waved to them and walked back to school, heading to class.

Finally, lunch rolled around and Mei was extremely hungry, but she couldn't eat in front of other people now. She sat down at the table and put her head down. Soon, she felt three presences around her.

"What's wrong, princess?" Minghao asked.

Mei looked up and made eye contact with him. "I'm hungry." She pouted.

"I'll feed you later, but not right now, okay?"

She nodded, not noticing the glance that Renjun and Kino shared.

"Why were you gone for the first half of class this morning, Mei?" Kino questioned.

She saw Minghao smile out of the corner of her eye. "This little girl came up to me this morning, so I helped her find her mom."

"I saw a lot of it before she left to take her to her mom. It was really cute," Minghao gushed. "You'd be a really good mom, Mei."

She blushed and playfully slapped his hand.
"Minghao!"

The day continued and the last bell to go home rang. Mei met up with Minghao and told him she was going to take her car, since she left it at school the day Jiho picked her up.

So, they parted ways and headed home. They both got there at the same time and sat down in the living room.

"Still hungry?" He asked.

"Very."

He held up his wrist. "Here."

She grabbed it and gently sank her fangs in, and she pulled away when she were full. "You're a life saver, Ming."

Then she got a text message. Mei got her phone out of her pocket and checked it.

??: Hey, Mei, it's Hyun-Ae. I know it's soon but the girls asked if I wanted to go out with them, and I need a baby sitter. Not to mention Mi-sun adores you!

Mei: would love to. Here's my address xxxxx:)

Miss Yoon: Thank you so much love.

Mei: It's my pleasure.

"Who was it?" Minghao asked.

"The little girls mom. Mi-sun is coming over, so let's clean up a little." She told him.

They got up and cleaned a bit, then the doorbell rang.
