"If you're happy and you know it clap your hands. If you're happy and you know it clap your hands. If you're happy and you know it and you really wanna show it, if you're happy and you know it clap your hands, the cheering of the children was heard who were happily giggling and cheering in the playground. The ambiance was perfect for relaxation. At a place like this, where nobody is judged. I sat there gazing at the sky that emitted the blue color of someone's eyes. I saw a person passing by someone anonymous but I felt like someone who smiled as beautifully as that can't be a bad guy. So, I reciprocated with a smile. I wonder what went inside his mind as mine was forcing me to see him in a good light. The chirping of the birds returning home and mothers dragging their children was an indication of the arrival of darkness. As my mind was busy giving everything a poetic touch, I saw a precious little life running towards me.
"Hyung, hyung, Is it time to go home already?" a delicate voice that can melt anyone's heart laid beside me on the bench where I was sitting while laying his head on my lap. I stroked his hair gently and nodded. "Of course, you have your piano lessons after this, young master, so we have to go", I said while still caressing his hairs. That young child then abruptly woke up and hugged me. "No, Hyung I don't want to go. I want to stay with you, here. Hyung, hyung, let's play some more. I really want to show that I can beat those kids in karate." He then jumped on the ground and started doing some unusual moves, to which I burst into laughter.
"Yes, yes young master, you indeed are different and special." I smiled at him and then my phone started vibrating. 'Yes, sir, we are on our way home. We will reach before the lessons." I grabbed the young master's hand, "come on young master, it's time to go home." The child with sky blue eyes and silver hairs expressed his sad emotion perfectly while I held his milky but soft hands and assured him that we will be back again soon. The alpha child nodded. "Hyung, don't worry, once I will become an adult, you will not have to listen to anyone's order as I will marry you, and then we both will lead a happy life together and then we can play every day." The smile of that sweet child at that time was very reassuring as I thought that at least someone is here to be by my side. The age of childhood is rather interesting but who knows when you grow up if that innocence still resides or not.

It's been three days since I am having the same dream on repeat. The pressure is huge since it's my first job and I am working as a content creator here. They say the first few lines form the cornerstone of the audience's attraction. The right words are essential for connecting with the people and here I am responsible for engaging words for the banner and also for writing the scripts for the interviews. The company I am currently working for is related to the entertainment industry and soon there will be an event where the CEO will be having an interview with the press as our company topped the rankings for the best in the entertainment business. I am assigned the task of managing the scripts and other work-related to content writing such as proofreading and all. I am still an assistant but if I perform well then I will surely be promoted. It was my dream to become a content writer and now is my time to achieve it. Maybe if someday my work gets recognized then I can be as famous as my favorite author.
"So, everyone, we have exactly 2 months to prepare and display our proposal. If we do well then our proposal will be selected and as always there is a special reward for the winning team. So, I want all of you to give your all for 2 months and then the leisure is all yours", the enthusiastic tone of our team leader was evident.
"Kiro, you are lucky to be appointed at the perfect time. I know you will be working under me for a while as you are still an intern but the poster and interview thing will surely showcase your skills in this project and you are surely bound to be appointed as permanent. Isn't that cool! Wow, then we will become BFF's real quick," my eyes that were fixated on my computer screen as I was looking for a flat while Mr. Yang imagined our friendship solely by himself. Alex forced me to borrow money so that I can have a flat near the office but since the rent is quite high, I'm afraid that I would not be able to pay even the deposit.
"Hey, Alex. Are you looking for a place?" Mr. yang questioned me after looking at my desktop screen. "Ah! yes, sorry to search for it during working hours", I minimized the screen and started proofreading the articles that were to be published online on the website today. "Well, Have you tried filling out the company form for accommodation?" he questioned me again taking a sip from his coffee, and then typed something on his keyboard. "Here, I also don't myself know the details but I suppose that they have one or two places left." I took a quick glance and then hurriedly searched for the same on my computer and to my surprise, I found out that the company provides accommodation but there are certain criteria that need to be fulfilled first. "Thank you, Mr. Yang. You really are a lifesaver as there are only two seats left." Glad to help a beautiful friend like you," he winked at me and got back to his work. "Also, you can count on me anytime for any other help," he further added before going back to work. Mr. Yang is a good person but his habit of winking and calling me beautiful, is a little embarrassing but deep down I know that he is not a bad person as he always motivates and guides me.
Today, again, I am blessed to be alive as the people around me are my motivation for doing better. Alright! Now let's get back to work and apply for the vacant space as soon as the work ends, with a positive mind, I returned to proofreading the assigned articles.
