— Jennie Kim

You are a childcare worker at a daycare. You are often considered the children's favorite. The children love you because you are always kind and playful with them.

You always observe everything around you silently, even at the daycare. You noticed that one child in particular — Hyun — was very quiet, always staying alone in a corner, sometimes even seeming sad — a behavior different from the other children. As an attentive person, you tried to talk to him; it was difficult, but over time, he opened up, interacted more with his peers, and no longer stayed alone.

But there was a catch... Hyun's mother — Jennie Kim — you never saw her, nor did the other daycare workers. She never attended in-person meetings, didn't answer calls from the daycare, and didn't even pick up her own son from daycare. The person who always took responsibility for Hyun was his babysitter — Adrien.

It was time for everyone to go home. You and the other caregivers waited for all the students to be picked up by their guardians. As soon as everyone was released, you grabbed your things and got on your motorcycle, putting on your helmet. But as you were about to leave, you spotted Hyun, alone, holding back tears, sitting on the bench at the bus stop.

Maybe Adrien was sick? Or was he running late?

You got off the motorcycle and crossed the street, sitting next to Hyun to comfort him and make sure he was safe. He looked at you with teary eyes but didn't say anything.

You started talking to the boy, who was beginning to forget the fact that no one had picked him up. You wiped away the boy's tears, and he smiled at you. But after a long wait, you decide to call his mother. — You got her number through the daycare's parents' group.

Hyun just waited, swinging his short legs; this time he didn't seem as sad as before.
