S1: Episode 1

I knocked on the door, no one answered. Do they not open doors for people? ... Does he know I'm coming? I looked down at my phone, it was late. I almost knocked one more time. "?" The man looked confused. "Who are you?" He closed the door a little. "I'm the new tutor for... Zen?" I scratched my head trying to remember his name. "Oh. Come in." He moved out of the way. "Thank you..." A small child ran up and grabbed the man's leg. "Uncle! Look at the drawing!" I put a piece of paper in his hand. "Very cute... I'll be in the next room." He ruffled Zen's hair and walked away. "Knock on the door if you need anything." The small child looked at me and smiled.

"You're gorgeous! Tu Tu!" He ran over to the couch and tried to climb the arm of it. "Here. Let's draw something, yeah?" I handed him a crayon and paper.

A LITTLE LATER:

"Tu! Look! I made a drawing of a teddy bear!" He shoved a piece of paper in my face. "That looks fantastic!" I pointed to the coloring. He smiled and took it.

I heard the door clack open. "I'm done with my work. You can leave now." He took Zen and placed him on his shoulders. "O-Of course, sir." I picked my bag up. "Uncle, is Tu Tu coming tomorrow?" He tugged on the man's turtleneck. "Yes, he is." I heard him sigh. What a mean man...I didn't get his name either...

I walked out the apartment building and back home. The rain is really coming down....Likewise, I even forgot my umbrella... Damn it. Now I have to wash my clothes... The walk home wasn't that fun. I even got splashed by a puddle because a car ran over it.

I opened my apartment door. I'm soaked... I looked down at the floor. My floor is soaked too. I grabbed a towel I had in the kitchen and scrubbed the floor with it. "It's just spreading..." I left the towel there on the floor to soak up the water.

I'm hungry... I forgot to buy groceries today... Damn it. "I have something in the fridge right?" I opened up the fridge door, to be met with nothingness. "Whatever...It's late anyway. I'll just go to bed." I laid down on the couch. At least it's comfy...I guess. I shut my eyes, they didn't feel heavy... But soon enough I fell asleep.

THE NEXT DAY 5:00 a.m.

I can't believe he was so mean about it...

FLASH BACK TO PHONE CALL:

"Hello?" I said to the 'uncle'. "It took you forever to pick up." I heard him sigh. Is he judging me right now? "Sorry, sir. Did you need something?" I tried to be polite. "Mm. I need you here. Now." He hung up...great.

PRESENT:

I knocked on the door, it opened immediately. "Get in here." He looked at my clothes. "They're all wet." Can he not hear the rain outside? "Sorry, I forgot my umbrella." I replied to him. "Now my floors wet and dirty. Take your shoes off." He pointed at my shoes. I took them off as he directed. "Okay. I'll be in the next room." He walked away. I sat on the couch. Why am I here so early? I don't see Zen. Is he still sleeping? I got up and knocked on the door, of the next room. "What?" I opened the door. "Where's Zen?" I closed the door a little. "He's sleeping." He looked at me and sighed. Why does he sigh every time he sees my face!? "Then why am I here?" I crossed my arms. "Excuse me? You're here to tutor Zen. You can go wake him up if you want." He slammed his pen down on the table.

What a mean uncle...
