13 Chapter 13: A Peaceful Day

[Star Stream]

Kim Dokja scrolled his screen and entered a familiar chat.

[KimDokja's Chatbox]

[SupremeKing: Sorry, the matter got out of hand today. ]

[KimDokja: Geez, I had a thought that contemporary guy was a little absurd, but didn't thought this matter would be that much serious.]

[SupremeKing: You don't have to worry anymore. I've reported a case against him.]

[KimDokja: Lol, what are you gonna do from now on? Hire bunch of bodyguards like those webnovels?]

[SupremeKing: Then will you be my bodyguard?]

[KimDokja: Bodyguard, my ass. What do you think me of me?!]

[SupremeKing: A overwhelming fool who loves to read webnovels.]

[KimDokja: ....]

[KimDokja: Can I punch your face just once?]

[SupremeKing: Can you though?]

[KimDokja: .... ]

[SupremeKing: What?]

[KimDokja: Nothing. Just admiring the ugly mug of yours.]

[SupremeKing: Do you know what? You're getting on my nerves. Should I just kill you?]

[KimDokja: I'm Joking, haha ^-^]

[KimDokja: What are you doing tomorrow? It's weekend.]

[SupremeKing: I'm going to spend my time with my sister. And you?]

[KimDokja: Woah, that's cool. I'm also gonna go out with some kids, like they're my siblings? Anyway, I'm just going to spend the day with them.]

[SupremeKing: What are you, a babysitter?]

[KimDokja: Might as well. Those kids are cute :)]

[SupremeKing: Goodnight. I need to get up early.]

[KimDokja: Goodnight.]

Usually on weekends, Kim Dokja would spend his time at home by reading webnovels. But today he had promised someone that he would go out and play with them whole day. How could he break the promise he made? Anyway, after the incident with Nirvana, Joonghyuk filed a case against him for harassing. After that, Nirvana got quiet but no one doesn't know how long he will be quiet like this.

Kim Dokja got dressed for the events he had planned for today. Right that moment, Kim Dokja heard the door bell ringing. It was a familiar person.

"Oh, Heewon-ssi. You came early."

"Yeah, I had work to do. Thank you for taking all this trouble."

Jung Heewon. A beautiful woman who was same age as Kim Dokja. Apparently, they went in the same high school. Though Kim Dokja's school life went lonely, he had to contact Heewon because of their class projects. Now she works as a social worker.

"Ahjussi!"

A cute little girl with a blonde hair ran from Heewon's behind and hugged Kim Dokja. It was like she was eager to meet Dokja for a long time.

"Hey, hey, Yoosung.How have you been?"

"Not bad! But I reaaaally missed you!"

"Haha! I missed you too!"

Kim Dokja patted Shin Yoosung's as if she was a cat. This girl who had seen her parents dying front of her eyes, grew up in orphanage since then. Kim Dokja felt relieved whenever he was with Yoosung, maybe it was because they shared the same past. However, Kim Dokja's past was slightly different.

Shin Yoosung was raised in a orphan, and coincidentally, Heewon worked in that orphan. Kim Dokja sometimes did part time job in that orphan when he graduated from high school. Yoosung was a bit hard to get along since she had a tragic past. However, she got along with Kim Dokja and often came to visit him with Heewon.

"Yusung, do you know you're going to meet new friend today?"

"New friends?"

"Yeah, one of them is same age of yours and the other one is a year older than you. He doesn't want to talk though."

Yusung seemed to be a little down. She wasn't very communicative and felt suffocated when she met new people.

"Don't worry, you don't have to force yourself."

"H-huh? No! It's not like that!"

"Yusung."

"Yes?"

"Do you know that I was just like you when I was a kid?"

"Ahjussi was? But how?"

"I was, I was really afraid of the outside world. I didn't have any friends."

"Does... Ahjussi have friends now?"

"Hmm? Well... I can't say if they're friends or not, but they're someone I can share my feelings with and.... Can have fun with."

It seemed like Kim Dokja said the last phrase softly. It was somewhat warm, somewhat a good feeling.

"Then... That means I can have fun too?"

"Of course! I'll help you to have fun!"

As they walked down on the street holding hands, Yusung smiled brightly. If someone had seen that heart touching scene, they would've thought they're a older brother and a younger sister. But, somehow, it was a beautiful story no one had read.

Kim Dokja saw two little boy about Yusung's age waiting in a distance.

"Dokja hyung?"

They were Lee Gilyoung wearing a snapback and Han Donghoon with headphones.

Lee Gilyoung rushed into Dokja's arms as soon as he recognized Dokja. Lee Gilyoung's snapback fell off his head.

It was a reunion after one week. Then a message popped up on Dokja's smartphone. It was from Han Donghoon.

[Donghoon: It is good to see you, Hyung.]

"Shouldn't you say it is nice to meet me after a long time?"

[Donghoon: I don't want to.]

"At least, speak with me. Why are you still messaging?"

[Donghoon: Don't wanna.]

"... "

Lee Gilyoung and Shin Yoosung had a war of nerves as soon as they met. Lee Gilyoung's hair was moving like it was really an antennae while Shin Yoosung kept touching her hair.

"Ahjussi, that boy keeps glaring at me."

"Hyung, who is she?"

It seemed people of a similar type recognized each other. Kim Dokja didn't know if they would fit together.

***

However, The four of them spend their day playing around in arcade, going to the movies, eating in cafes and etc. Donghoon is a introvert type, so he just stayed still beside Kim Dokja.

"Why don't you join them? The game is interesting."

[Donghoon: I can play a similar in my phone.]

"You're a phone addict."

[Donghoon: I'm not.]

Yusung and Gilyoung seemed to be competitive with each other for some reason, and it was like they were arguing about something with their eyes. Although Kim Dokja didn't understand it, he just simply pretended not to.

After leaving Donghoon at home, the other two kept insisted on to go to Kim Dokja's home, so he couldn't stop them.

They were so tired, that's why maybe they fell asleep. Kim Dokja was just going to wake up, when he heard a whisper out of nowhere.

"Hey, you." Lee Gilyoung spoke in a ferocious voice. "Stay away from Hyung."

Then Shin Yoosung, who was lying next to me, replied, "What if I don't want to?"

"This lousy mutt..."

"Don't talk to me, you worm bastard."

Lee Gilyoung was stunned. Lee Gilyoung barely regained his composure.

"Hyung hates kids like you."

"I know who Ahjussi likes."

"...You know who Hyung likes? Who?"

"An unnie."

Lee Gilyoung laughed. "Unnie? I think you are misinformed. Hyung likes a man."

"How do you know?"

"I've been with Hyung for a long time."

Kim Dokja barely managed to wake up as the terrible conversation began. He hurriedly looked around and saw Lee Gilyoung and Shin Yoosung sleeping with their heads leaning on him.

'...Did I see wrongly? Was it just a dream?'

It must be a dream. I was just lying back down when I heard a whisper from somewhere.

"Hey, bug. Come to think of it, you hugged Ahjussi earlier?"

"..."

"Are you a baby? Do you like old people?"

It wasn't a dream.

"Ahem."

Kim Dokja tried to warn them. Then the surroundings became silent and the children's snoring started soon afterwards.
