Assistant Manager Kim Hates Idols - Chapter 162

| Episode 162. The Men’s Daycare (2)

“I am…….”

It was difficult to say anything.

I don’t want to be penalized, so I can’t treat my older sister, who got my life back on track, like she doesn’t exist.

I had a long way to go, but I told my sister that I was there and then I had another nosebleed, so this time I couldn’t really go get an MRI.

Even if I try to say that I have a sister, my voice won’t come out.

It seemed like a systemic enforcement mechanism for maintaining confidentiality.

While I was squirming like a goldfish, the two guys looked at my complexion.

Perhaps because they thought I had touched on something ominous, they quickly changed the subject to something else. Fortunately, they were quick-witted.

‘My older sister… was… good.’

My sister and I grew up without ever fighting. It’s because we both had easygoing personalities, and because of the big age difference, I remember my sister taking care of me a lot.

Even though they have the same age difference, it seems like there are places like Choi Je-ho’s house.

My older sister tried to do well at home as well. Even to that kind of family, my older sister tried to do her best as a human being.

While he kept nagging me not to get involved with adults, he kept looking after his family.

‘Can’t we just live without caring? You don’t care about us either.’

‘The first ones don’t do that well.’

The image of my older sister helping herself was vivid.

Jeong Seong-bin pulled me back to reality.

“Brother, should I peel the cheese in advance?”

“Let’s just tear it off a little. They say that using your hands a lot is good for developing fine motor skills.”

“Teachers, are the materials ready?”

From afar, Kang Ki-yeon, who was talking about Tabot, asked.

There was a really bright color on his face. It’s rare to see such a lively expression. I guess he really likes his comic book friends.

“Yes, I’ll be there soon!”

At that moment, I ended up answering in the same tone I used to when I was working as a server.

I couldn’t believe that I had adapted so well and it hadn’t even been half a day yet.

Spark members are objectively in good physical shape.

Choi Je-ho and Kang Ki-yeon, whose daily routine is dancing, are in another class, and Jeong Seong-bin and Lee Cheong-hyeon, excluding Park Joo-woo, also had considerable muscle strength thanks to the effects of practice time and working out.

‘If it weren’t for the injury, I would have still been number one.’

Although I was currently out of the top rankings, I believed that I would soon be able to reclaim my spot. I also turned off the accumulated fatigue function and focused on exercising, so I thought I would soon be able to return to perfect physical condition.

Surprisingly, there was a new breed of people who easily surpassed the young people who danced, sang, and exercised every day.

He was a child with endless, tireless energy.

“Teacher, I can’t do this~.”

“Why do you have to put cucumber in it? I don’t like cucumber.”

“Teacher, I dropped it on the floor!”

“My clothes are wet~. I want to wear different clothes~.”

The children’s stamina was endless. Everyone tried their best to stack the sandwiches into eight layers. The bread crumbs were flying like snowflakes.

Among them, there were some friends who used a child’s knife to cut bread into small pieces, saying they would make star-shaped sandwiches.

Park Joo-woo, who was also a kitchen assistant(?), also had to do his best to cut the cheese and ham into star shapes.

“Kim Yi-wol, give me some bananas over there.”

“I’ll give it to you, but what’s with that jam on your face?”

“… … ? When did you ask?”

A child wiped Choi Je-ho’s face with a rag. The boy’s cleanliness level went up a little.

I was busy procuring materials for the members who were full of young friends.

As I was making my third bowl of egg mayo, someone approached me.

He was a kid who wore a gray T-shirt and rarely talked to other teachers or friends.

“… …Teacher, where is the bread?”

“Mine?”

I looked around and saw that everyone was now eating a sandwich.

The Spark members were also sharing homemade sandwiches with the kids. Choi Je-ho was even holding one in each hand and eating it.

It seemed like they couldn’t even put a few bites in their own mouths because feeding the kids was their priority, but they at least had one for themselves. It seemed like they also made one for the camera directors around them.

I double-checked to make sure no one was empty-handed and then answered.

“Teacher, I’m going to make it now!”

Then, my friend with the name tag ‘Jaeyoon’ became lost in thought.

Soon, he picked up a slice of bread in each hand.

Jaeyoon made a sandwich by himself.

It was a thick sandwich with two slices of ham and two slices of cheese, but no vegetables.

Jaeyoon’s vinyl gloves were dyed yellow and red, showing how much egg mayo and strawberry jam he had put in.

Jaeyoon said, holding out a sandwich that was so full of affection that all the contents were spilling out.

“sleep.”

“Are you giving it to me?”

“yes.”

I accepted the bread in a daze. Only after watching me take a few bites did Jaeyoon start eating his share of the sandwich.

Spark’s appearance has caused some changes to the daycare schedule.

Instead of reading English storybooks, which was a regular class – if Lee Cheong-hyeon had done this, he would probably have been able to continue the class – he was given free play time.

The children who were now legally allowed to play ran wild.

“Teacher! Please put me on the slide too!”

“You can go up high enough.”

“I can’t reach my legs!”

“Try it, the teacher will support you.”

Choi Je-ho changes his job to become an attraction safety officer.

“Mini Fang is stronger, isn’t he, Teacher? If he uses Majesty’s power, no one can beat him, right?”

“If Tabbot evolves to level 15, Mini Pang will lose in one shot, right? Level 15 evolution is combining fifteen Tabbots, right?”

“Um… … I think this is something that needs some serious thought?”

Kang Ki-yeon was the Supreme Court judge who judged whether Mini Pang was strong or Tabot was strong.

“Teacher, of course the runaway bittersweet is the strongest, right?”

“Well, the teacher is well… … .”

“Teacher, look here. I’ll put some stickers on it.”

And Park Joo-woo almost… … became like the complete Mini Mini Pang Pang of Mini Pang Country.

The numerous hairpins in her hair, the flowing shawl on her shoulders, and the magic wand in her hand made her feel Park Joo-woo’s power. But she desperately refused to put a sticker on her face.

Fortunately, Jeong Seong-bin’s unique gentleness succeeded in influencing the children.

Jeong Seong-bin played the role of a conduit, finding the sounds of children’s songs and conveying them to Lee Cheong-hyeon.

Thanks to that, piano accompaniment was finally able to flow in Kkotnim’s class.

And still I was left alone.

“This is the first time I have been rejected by humanity like this.”

The writers held back laughter at my muttering.

Although it would have been better to actively approach the children in terms of photography, I didn’t want to make the children anxious just to increase the quality of the photos.

Instead of joining the crowd, I changed course towards the scattered toys and started to clean up the toys that had spilled on the floor one by one.

While I was putting blocks in the basket, blocks started coming in one by one from the other side.

Jaeyoon was helping me put blocks together with his hands that were like bracken ferns.

“Jaeyoon?”

Despite my surprised call, Jaeyoon calmly put away his toys.

He’s kind. But when he was young, he just played. He’s so special and admirable, but I can’t help but feel this way.

Jaeyoon stayed with me until the end to organize the blocks. Cleaning up wasn’t lonely.

“Now everyone, let’s get ready for a good nap!”

“no, I do not want!”

“No, I’m going to take a nap now!”

The children protested loudly, but the teacher was firm.

We cowardly hid behind the teacher and silently cheered. Dark circles were falling like curtains on Spark’s beautiful face.

“Three, let’s split up into three groups. Three of us will clean the floor and three of us will make the blankets.”

“huh…….”

Park Joo-woo nodded. The jeweled earring hanging from his ear dangled along with it.

“I don’t like myself.”

“Really? The teacher sleeps because he wants to grow taller.”

“Do you grow taller when you sleep?”

“Of course. Look at those teachers.”

Choi Je-ho, who was talking to a child who was throwing a tantrum, pointed in our direction. The child, who was looking at the five-person group that resembled a pole, obediently covered himself with a blanket and lay down.

“How much sleep do I need to grow tall like you, teacher?”

“You should sleep when your mom tells you to sleep.”

“Then can I be as tall as the ceiling?”

“Oh. But if you don’t sleep because you’re secretly playing games, you’ll end up with dark circles under your eyes like that teacher over there.”

Then Choi Je-ho pointed at me this time. The child placed both hands on my eyes. Are you kidding me by calling me a panda?

Kang Ki-yeon received all kinds of love calls even before she laid down her blanket. Everyone pulled their blankets to sleep next to Kang Ki-yeon. It seems like the hot adventure story of Mini Pang and Tabot that Kang Ki-yeon told her was quite interesting.

As soon as Jeong Seong-bin and I pulled down the blinds and turned off the lights, the room became quiet.

“What should we do now?”

“Just watch the kids sleep!”

The teacher quietly announced the next day’s schedule for the daycare. She said that the children need someone to watch them because something might happen while they are sleeping, and that they need to prepare an afternoon snack.

I couldn’t help but chuckle as I watched the kids sleeping in rows in the second row.

Without even looking far, there was an adult dozing off right next to me.

“Are you sleepy, Joo? Go and get some sleep.”

“No, it’s okay… … .”

“Go up the slide and sleep. Choi Je-ho is already asleep.”

Choi Je-ho was already sleeping soundly at the end of the rope. I don’t know why he sleeps like that.

After putting Park Joo-woo on the slide and Jeong Seong-bin and Kang Ki-yeon in the ball pit, they had time to catch their breath.

“Cheong-hyeon, you don’t have to sleep?”

“I have to memorize the textbook.”

The children’s song booklet that the teacher had handed over trembled in Lee Cheong-hyeon’s hand. It seemed that his pride was a little hurt, since there were songs he didn’t know.

‘What do I do now… … .’

As I walked around, trying to silence my footsteps, I saw a few friends who had kicked off their blankets.

The kids have high body temperatures. Is it because it’s hot?

I squatted down carefully at the children’s feet.

Then, I lightly swept my forehead to see if I was sweating, then covered him up again with the blanket. It was a peaceful afternoon.
