Taemin’s POV :

I have been looking around for Kibum hyung for some time now, but I still couldn’t find him. I had checked in almost all the housing units. I hope Minho hyung finds Kibum hyung in the garden.

I saw Mrs. Akiyama walking about busily giving directions to a couple of Ryokan attendants. Poor lady, she never seemed to rest. Whenever I saw her she was always busy. But she was so soft spoken and kind. She always gave me a kind smile that reminded me of my mother.

“Natsu-chan, did you finish your school work?”, she asked a little girl who was running across the hall with a small pouch-like thing and a cat plush toy in her hands.

“Yes, mother. I did. Can I go play with Hiroki-kun and Hajime-chan now?”, she asked her mother with shiny expectant eyes.

“Alright. Tell Hiro-chan’s mother to come over with me to the shrine tomorrow. Don’t forget, okay?” was Mrs. Akiyama’s reply.

“Okay, mother. I won’t forget.” She replied and started running again, looking the other way and bumped into me.

“Oh, are you okay, little girl?”, I asked as I picked her up on her feet.

“Don’t call me little girl!!”, was her slightly angry reply.

“My name is Natsumi. It means “summer beauty”. But if you want, you can call me Natsu-chan.”, she smiled.

“where are you from, Onii-chan?” , she seemed a very jolly little girl.

“me? I’m from Korea.”

“waa...Korea? I wonder what that place is like?”, she sounded fascinated.
