I'm coming to you now
2. Expectations from me


10:52 AM
The little boy woke up and sat up.


고연주
Hey kid.


고연주
did you sleep well?


부승관
yes...


부승관
thank you..


고연주
What is this?


고연주
My sister didn't eat anything for nearly ten hours and just took care of the baby.


부승관
yes?!


고연주
Come out now.


고연주
hungry,


고연주
Let's eat with my sister.

At my words, the little boy smiled brightly and held my hand tightly as I walked out of the room.

I was so touched by the little boy's actions that I came out clutching my heart.

The little boy was confused by my actions and asked why I was doing that, but he smiled and said it was okay.


He put a generous amount of rice into the child's bowl and placed it in front of the child.

The little one's eyes widened, but I ignored him and continued eating my food.


고연주
Eat a lot.


고연주
That way, you can grow up strong.


부승관
thank you..


고연주
What is this?

The kid and I were eating in silence until we saw the bottom of the bowl.

I asked the little boy.


고연주
Where is the little one's home?


부승관
I don't have a home..


고연주
huh..?


부승관
It was abandoned yesterday.


고연주
ah...


고연주
I'm sorry, I didn't know...


부승관
are you okay.


고연주
...

Another silence flowed between the boy and me.

He put the rice bowl in the sink and asked another question about a different topic.


고연주
So how old is the kid?


부승관
I'm 13 years old.


고연주
My older sister is 18 years old.


고연주
What's the kid's name?


부승관
Bu... Seung-kwan...


고연주
My older sister is Go Yeon-ju.


고연주
Call me Yeonju Noona, little one.

I liked the nickname "Kkoma" better than the name "Boo Seung-kwan."

The little boy who hadn't eaten yet put down his spoon and looked at me and asked.


부승관
But, sister.


고연주
huh?


부승관
Aren't you going to school?


고연주
Kid, isn't that asking too soon?


부승관
Uh..


고연주
I'm not going to school today.


고연주
You have to stay by the kid's side.


고연주
Where am I going?


부승관
sorry..


고연주
Let's change "I'm sorry" to "Thank you."


고연주
But doesn't the kid go to school?


부승관
school...


부승관
Yes, I know.


고연주
You don't know?


고연주
Huh..?


01:08 PM
After eating, I sat on the sofa with the kid.

I was thinking about a lot of things related to my child's school.

A little boy comes to me and hugs me.

I felt sorry for the thin arms wrapping around my waist, so I hugged the little boy tightly without saying anything.

The little boy shook his shoulders and whimpered as if he was crying.

I pretended not to know and patted the kid on the back.



It hasn't even been a day since I found out


Little one,


You can rely on me.
