28

Klein is just taking a break while his school is on holiday for three day. He just plans to sleep the whole day for the first day, followed by the second and third day by helping his mother to buy some groceries and clean the entire house.

But for now, Han is our main subject. He is actually on his way to his hometown now! Han did try to ask Klein to follow him to his hometown this holiday but Klein rejected him. Now, he's just in the car sitting next to his father while feeling anxious.

His father knew how he hated his aunt's family for 'certain reasons' so he suggested him to bring some of his friends.

Well, like Klein, they're also busy with their own plan so they can't follow him.

Han just wears his earphones and looks at the book on his lap. He doesn't know why but when he knew that Klein wrote real life situations as a story to calm himself, he felt like he wanted to do the same. Well, he just wanted to let out his feelings and he thought this way is more brilliant.

He doesn't even want to let his father know that he's about to puke because of nervousness that overwhelms him.

He started creating a character and named it Honey.

How cute.

When they reached his hometown, he saw his aunt and grandmother with his cousin waving at his father and him. He had to lift up his smile and show the polite face he could give. It was okay for now.

But it slowly started to hurt him when lunch time came.

"Here let me help you!"

His aunt gave him rice but it was a lot more than what he used to eat daily. He looked around to ask his father for help but knowing his father is on call right now, he had to inhale, gathering his courage to talk with his aunt.

"U-um…Aunt Jenny…This is a lot and I am afraid I can't finish it-"

"Han! You better eat more! Look at your hand! You're skinny and your clothes are even too big for you!"

Han widens his eyes before looking down on his food.

"You don't have to point that out…"

"What was that?"

Han shakes his head and starts eating. He knew this was too much but he had to finish it. Since it's a bit difficult for him to finish them, it takes him more time to eat unlike when he was eating at school. Everyone starts to stand up, cleaning up after their meals. His aunt saw him still eating and showed a little furious face.

"Why are you so slow? Do you eat this slowly at school too? Learn to eat faster."

His aunt walks away with the last dishes and he looks down on his food. His father, who is already back to his own room, doesn't even bother to check on him. His aunt…doesn't even realise that it's because she put a lot of food on his plate, he had to eat slowly.

He holds his mouth, preventing himself from puking out the food in his mouth. He had too much stuff so that he could finish faster but it was a bad idea. He tried to hold back his tears recalling what his aunt said.

'I didn't ask to be born skinny…

I can't gain any weight no matter how much I eat…

Why do you force me to eat so much…'

When he finished eating, his aunt praised him but he gave her a small smile before going into his father's room that he shares together. His father smiles at him before focusing again on his laptop while he, himself, gets his notebook and scribble something.

It was a chibi of Klein, Woo Young and his character, Honey. Slowly, he draws a small comic that makes him cheer up a bit. He closes his eyes and sleeps while hugging the notebook. The small comic that he drew? It's just a conversation that he thought randomly.

Chibi Klein: Let's go eat noodles.

Chibi Honey: I just ate…I am too full to eat again.

Chibi Klein: Then, just eat only one slurp of my noodles.

Chibi Woo Young: Guys! Let's go watch a movie after eating!

Klein, who was sleeping to help him gain the energy from the lack of sleep, was woken up by someone. He saw his mother smile nervously while saying that some people are visiting them. And would you like to guess who it was?

It was Klein's mother's old friend.

Klein had to clean up and his eyes met with a woman and a boy his age.

"Ah Klein! You're already grown up I see! This is my son, Hanashi!"

Hanashi is probably half japanese. Can't really play with japanese words around this boy or you will get spank by his father's ancestor. But Klein can see that Hanashi is showing his…arrogant smirk while shaking hands with Klein.

"So I heard your son lock himself up for months! I am sure his grade is disappointing! But if he needs help, Hanashi can come over to help anytime!"

'Wow, she just straight up came to my mom's house just to flex about the intelligence that her son has but she doesn't.'

"A-ah…yes. I will call Hanashi to our house if my son needs a tutor…"

Klein and his mother continue listening to the woman talk about their classmates and also her husband. She did compare her life a little to Klein's life but both him and his mother decide to not take this to heart since that woman would probably divorce again for the fourth time.

Her son this time was even her first husband's son with another woman and the reason she keeps him is just because he's smart and she can show off to the world that he's her 'prodigal son'. The son though…doesn't mind as long as he's living with his wealthy guardian.

"Thank you for the chat! I really miss you! Let's catch up again soon!"

"...She's gone. Mom, she's really that pathetic?"

"Don't call the elders pathetic, honey."

Han: Three days with the demons. How about you guys?

Klein: Okay. I guess.

Woo Young: Pretty good! I went to K-

Han: We all know.

Hana: I just worked for those three days. Oh! And Edward saw me and helped me at work!

Edward: You- I told you not to tell them!

Louis: Pfft. I just visited my grandma.
