Myungsoo narrated the whole story to his friends, cutting out here and there since he doesn’t like to speak much. “So… you’re saying there’s a girl in your house now?”

“And she isn’t a normal girl.”

“She thinks like a 5-year-old!”

“And she’s clinging onto you every moment!”

His friends laughed madly at his story instead. It was just hilarious to them but not to Myungsoo. The ‘victim’ sent them dangerous glares and they finally calmed down. “Come on. She’s just a 5-year-old kid! Don’t be harsh on her! Don’t tell me you’re going to ignore her?!” Hoya cooed, “I want to see her already, I can’t wait for school to reopen!

No response.

He glanced towards the clock on the wall and realized it was way past the time for the maid to go home. “Alone in the house with the kid huh?” He scoffed and walked further into the house.
