Chapter 20
Finding The LightSungMin took an extremely deep breath as he fidgeted, trying not to touch anything too much as he wandered around their newly bought house alone. For the morning, he had already broken an expensive ceramic vase that used to occupy a space by the stairs when Henry had come to tell him hi, and a swan figurine from his bookshelf. Along with that, he had snapped several pencils while trying to write out a few words to say that day.
