"What is this place?" Yoseob asks, a slight frown forms on his face.

I smile, "Let's get in, then you'll know."

Shouting, laughing and noisy sound can be heard through the place. Those sounds sound live. As soon as I step into a room as huge as a living room, those cute little things called kids rush to surround me.

"Sunni unnie! Sunni noona!" they shout excitedly while hugging me together. I laugh, hugging back.

"Hi my cutie pies!" I greet, beaming. "How are you? I miss all of you."

"We're just fine. We miss you too!" they answer simultaneously.

"Sunni noona! Who's this?" one of the kids which is a boy asks, pointing to Yoseob. He has curious eyes on.

"Ah, this is Yang Yoseob. He is my friend. You can call him Yoseob hyung or Yoseob oppa," I explain and smile.

"Hi Yoseob hyung! Hi Yoseob oppa!" the kids greet. I turn my head to see Yoseob.

"Hi," he replies shortly. He's slightly amused looking at the kids.

"Okay, now go and continue of what you were doing earlier. I'm going to bake you some cookies," I say. The kids cheer and continue to do their own activity.

"What I'm supposed to do?" Yoseob asks.

"You can either help me in the kitchen or look after those kids!" I say, smiling. For a second he's hesitating.

"I'll help you," he replies.

"What is this place?" Yoseob asks as we're preparing ingredients for cookies.

"Uh, ah. This is an orphanage house," I tell and smile.

"How did you end up at here? I mean, knowing all these kids unless you're from here," he says. I chuckle.

"I'm not from here Yoseob-ssi. I don't have any other siblings, so, I come here to find some little friends," I explain, giving a smile. I feel my below shirt is tugged. As I turn,

"Uh Daniel. What is it dear?" I squat down to Daniel's level.

"Can I play with Yoseob hyung? I really want to know how it feels playing with big guys," he pleads cutely, taking a glance of Yoseob.

I giggle and look at Yoseob. Yoseob gives me a please-say-no look. I smile and turn to Daniel.

"Sure but I have a mission for you." Daniel's eyes shine brightly.

"What mission noona?! I love doing mission," he states excitedly. I move my face closer to Daniel's ear.

"Don't tell Yoseob hyung of what I'm going to tell you okay," I whisper softly.

"Promise!" he whispers back. After knowing his mission, Daniel drags Yoseob away. Yoseob is slightly pouting while being dragged. I giggle looking at the scene. Yoseob looks like a kid pouting that.

After like 45 minutes, I finally have done baking cookies for the kids. Chocolate chip cookies.

"Noona! Noona!" Daniel comes into the kitchen, running excitedly and hugs me. I raise my eyebrows.

"Yes Daniel?"

Beaming from ear to ear, he excitedly tells, "I made it! I've done the mission, noona! Yoseob hyung smiled! Even though it's just a tiny small, it's still a smile, right?"

I smile widely and nod.

"Right." I'm suprised. A little kid like Daniel manages to make Yoseob smiled. Even though I didn't witness it but I know, an innocent kid like Daniel won't lie.

"What did you do till make Yoseob hyung smile?" I curiously ask. Daniel grins.

"Secret!"

On the way home, we're being silent in the car. Being the cheerful me, I start to attack Yoseob with question.

"Yoseob-ssi, can I ask you questions?"

"Hmm," that's all that he responds, probably doesn't hear my question much but I take it as a yes.

"Why you're always sleeping in the class?"

"I'm tired and sleepy," he shortly answers, still looking outside.

"Why are you never ever smile before?" I see him flinches hearing the question. Turning his head to me, Yoseob gives me a shocking answer,

"I...I forgot how to smile." I stun for a moment. His eyes show that he's really hurt. I don't know for how long but I'm quite sure that it's a pretty long time.

"I-," before I can say anything he cut me off.

"It happened when I started to introduce my first girlfriend to my mom. My dad passed away when I was three. My mom never approved our relationship. But I never give up trying to make my mom approve. There was one day I lost my loves of my life. I lost both of them at one time. My mom and my first girlfriend. They died 3 years ago. Since then, I never smiled. Not a slightest bit." Yoseob's tears nonstop flowing.

"I don't know how to smile anymore. No one's there for me when I need someone. No one wants to be friend with me."

I'm shocked. Truly shocked. I'm sure that he keeps this for a long time already. Wiping his tears away,

"Thanks for being my friend. Thanks for taking me to the orphanage house. Now I know how to smile back," Yoseob utters, cracking a tiny smile.

Even though it's only a tiny smile, he looks good. I smile. It's nice to see him smiling. It's like seeing something one in a million.

"No problem. I'll bring you there again tomorrow."  

"Thanks again," he says, pecking my right cheek before getting out from the car. My eyes widen, my cheeks flush red.

Did he just- Ohmy. I hold my cheeks. It's burning.
