Rude to Stare.
In The Right Place.
“So Jongin what do your parents do?” Henry asked as he sat down on the stool Kai had just finished making.
Kai leaned on the breakfast bar “They own their own law firm.” He admitted “They’re pretty wealthy.”
“So why don’t you live with them?” I asked looking up from my homework.
Henry cocked an eyebrow at me “You’re seriously asking him that Miss same situation.”
“My parents are the nicest people you’ll ever meet but they wanted to move further away from a city with my two sisters. I didn’t want to leave. I have friends here and it’s all I’ve ever known so they were pretty supportive of me living on my own.” He admitted.
“Do you still see them?” Henry asked.
