12:56 PM, Hongjoong ⯎
"Why are you so out of breath? you're literally on time" Wooyoung said while he looked at Hongjoong who sat down next to him, out of breath, Wooyoung is one of Hongjoongs friends from his friend group and the only one with the similar classes, Hongjoong looked at him, catching his breath before he spoke "I took a shortcut right, and I bumped into this girl, and I ran to class" he said in pauses "A girl? do you know her?", Hongjoong shook his head "No, never seen her before", Wooyoung smiled "Maybe you'll bump into her again"

Areum couldn't stop thinking of the boy she saw earlier, after her last class she caught a glimpse of him again, but she couldn't speak to him, he seemed busy. She went to the daycare to take care of her part time shift, clocking in she was swarmed with the kids that were usually there. "Okay, kiddos time to go play!"

9:40 pm
Everyone at the daycare was almost gone except one kid, Beomgyu, it was getting really late and he was usually gone earlier, seemed someone else was picking him up, the little boy was sat on the alphabet mat in the middle of the room playing with some of his toy cars, Areum sat next to him, "Who's picking you up, Beomgyu?" Areum asked, the little boy looked at her, those eyes looked quite familiar to her, almost having deja vu. "My uncle, he's usually late" the little boy said "Aw, I'm sorry kiddo" she said patting him and soon the fashionably late uncle showed up, "Um hi? I'm here for Beomgyu" Areum flinched a little, that voice seemed so familiar, Areum stood up, she picked up Beomgyu and his back pack, and there it was, the boy he bumped into. They met eyes and now he flinched "Uncle Hongjoong!" the little boy exclaimed and started wiggling around "Okay okay i'll let you down!" Areum laughed letting the little boy go, he ran to hug his legs "Sorry for being late", Areum shook her head "It's fine dont worry, Beomgyu was kept busy meanwhile, just next time you're picking him up, dont come late" she said "Bye Gyu!" she said leaning down "Bye Miss Areum" he giggled, she waved at both of the boys goodbye and locked the door after he left.
"so Hongjoong is his name"
