CH20-Exploration.

Kenny's Pov.

Kenny-" ZZZZZZZ.....hhmm...., *Yawnnnn*..."

I fell asleep soon after me and Rain, decided to cuddle...

*sigh*

It was a good sleep, Last time I had slept this good, was when I used to share my bed with dad and Jude...,

At that time we used to live in a rented apartment, ... Definitely not the most luxurious days...,

Kenny-" I miss those days..."

As gentle as possible, I slowly rub my right-hand thumb on his left cheek,

Kenny-" It was your birthday..., Mom was in the hospital for the whole three days, heh~..., that woman.., can you believe she went back to work right a day after popping you out..."

Hehe...

Thinking of that time a nostalgic smile creeps onto my face

Kenny-" Oh.., you were the most beautiful thing I had ever held in my arms...., Jude was getting crazy over you, she wanted to hold you but that girl didn't know how to do it properly..hehe..."

Dad was the only calm person in the room, cooking, and cleaning were his stress relief, Mom would come home every three or four hours just the breastfeed her, then she would crawl back to her work.

Kenny-" Mom was also trying hard.., I was just too blind to see it.., or I just didn't want to acknowledge it...., *sigh*...I wish I was a little tolerant."

Removing my hand from his cheek, I slid both my hands underneath his armpit and slid him up a little bit,

His face is just a few inches from mine, I feel his breath on my collarbone.

Kenny-" But then you left us, ..... everyone was destroyed...., Dad.. he was...., he just..., gave up..., Mom didn't know what to do.., she just became a drunk, an asshole, .. God knows what the fuck she did at those times..., but even Devil knows."

That none of it was humane.

With a last kiss on his forehead, I climbed out of bed, it was a great sleep, ... for some reason.., it was more relaxing than a shot of Drugs I took in college.

Kenny-" Hn~..., I guess you are a charm rain~..."

Third Person's POV.

Standing next to Sleeping Rain, Kenny was staring at him with a delight, With a final look she left,

As she did, dark purple smoke was oozing from her shoulder, It just leaked for a mere 1 second and then disappeared.

Inside the Kitchen, Slar was cooking, At first, he had to make something for Jude, then Riz asked him to make something for her, but then she just disappeared, now it's almost evening and he needs to prepare something for dinner, although he was provided with vegetables, that's it, All he could find was some salt and normal spices and some leftover stuff, which was, surprisingly not expired.

But now,

Now he doesn't have enough things to make a dinner suited for the Young family.

Slar's Pov

Slar-" I'll have to manage somehow."

Luckily I was able to find some Flour, I think I can make some veggie-filled patties with this,

Slar-" At least thr veggies are fresh."

But it's still not too late,

Solar-" Maybe I can ask miss Riz if I can go and bye some stuff, yeah... that'll be wise."

Walking out of the kitchen I wipe my hands with a napkin,

Miss Riz should be around here, ..... maybe in that room?

Slar-" Hello?, Miss Riz?"

Walking down the dining room, I couldn't find anyone.

Slar-" Miss Riz!.., Where are you?....., *sigh*..."

Maybe I should check some rooms.

I entered the first room and luckily found Mss Jude there,

Slar-" Um, Miss Jude, have you seen Miss Riz?"

She was on her bed, looking at her phone

Jude-" Mom?..., hmm, Kenny just left for some work, so mom should be with Rain…., hm, Check the third room upstairs, she should be sleeping with Rain."

Slar-" Uh.., sleeping with someone?"

Damn, they don't care about anything.

Jude-" No! no! no, Rain is my brother, her Son."

Solar-"Bu but, Young family...., since..., when the son came?"

What the hell!?

Jude-" Well we just adopted him, Mom always wanted a son."

Slar-" J J Just adopted him!?, ma ma ma ma'am a an a are you sure."

Jude-" It's a little complicated..., but you don't need to worry about it, now he's thr part of the family."

Slar-" Ma ma ma ma'am, Are you sure he's adopted as a son?"

Jude-" The fuck you said?"

She didn't like what I list said, Oh shit!

She claimed out of her bed and grabs me from my scalp.

Slar-" Ah!?, I'm sorry ma'am please forgive!"

Yanking me down to her level, she stares me in the eye and says.

Jude-" Listen here you little tree fucker, you are lucky it's me who's warning you, cuz those two would have chopped your off-season, NOW GET ONE THING IN YOUR MIND PROPERLY, HE'S A PART OF FAMILY AND YOUR BOSS TOO, YOU DISRESPECT HIM, AND YOU'RE DEAD, YOU GOT IT?"

Slar-" Y Y Yes!.., I'll keep that in mind."

Jude-" GOOD, ....NOW GO."

She frees my hair and returns to her bed, I don't wait anymore and hurriedly leave the room.

My scalp still hurts.

Slar-" Ok, a new lesson learned today..., God....., if she's the calmest one, I don't wanna find out the other two."

Fixing my hair I went upstairs,

Slar-" Third room, third room..., there!"

As I entered the room I saw a little boy sleeping, that must be him.

Solar-" Can't believe my life and death are almost in his hands too, ... but where is miss Riz?"

She said Miss Riz might be here, but...., she's nowhere to be seen.

..

Should I Ask him?, I need to know where is Miss Riz.

Slar-"...., *Gulp*... Let's try."

Walking to his side, I gently tap on his shoulder.

Slar-"Sir?.., sir please wake up."

Rain-"Mhm?...., *Yaawwwnnnnn*...., hu?..., WHAT THE!?, WHO ARE YOU!?"

Slar-" Ca, calm down sir!, I'm the new cook! I I just came to ask you about Miss Riz."

Rain-"....You're not gonna kidnap me or something?"

Slar-" N no! Why would you assume that!?"

Rain-" And...., what the hell, Why are your ears so long!?!"

Slar-"... Uh.., Sir.., I'm an Elven so..., have you not seen elves yet?"

Rain-" El--ve?...."

Slar-"[God I'll lose my sanity in this house...], *sigh*... Sir, have you seen Miss Riz?"

Rain-" NN No, have not!"

Hanging my head low, I now brainstorm my mind for ideas.

Rain-" Uh.. are you in trouble?"

Slar-" Hm?, uh yeah, actually I need to Ask Miss Riz if I can go and get some stuff for dinner, actually I need to job, that's why I need to make a good first impression."

Rain-" Then I'll help you!, let's go and find Miss Ri-!?....uh. Mom, yeah!, Mom, ...together!"

Slar-" Uh, are you sure it's fine with you?"

Rain-" Absolutely~, Let's go, I also wanna walk a little bit."

Slowly getting down from bed he tries to walk.... but.

Rain-" Ok let's-..!?

*Thudd*

but....he Falls miserably...., is he physically weak?

Rain-".... ouch..., um.. friend? can you carry me? I might need some assistance."

What the hell, he said he was gonna help me, not the other way around....but... Miss Jude.. said.....

Slar-" *sigh*. Yes Sir..."

Rain-" ah c'mon, no need to be sad over it, I can help you verbally, I'll call mom with you! our voice together will surely reach her!"

That is not helping.

Slar-" Yes... sir."

I picked the boy in my arms and went around the house searching for Miss Riz,

Rain-" Mom!, where are you?"

Slar-" Gosh...., I'm getting late! It's taking too long!"

Although it did take time, we eventually found Miss Riz asleep in her room, she had dozed off in her chair.

Rain-" There!, see we found her!"

Slar-" yeah yeah I can see that... Ma'am?, please wake up, Miss Riz!"

Riz-" Huh?... Wha what happened?.....-!?"

Slar-" Miss Riz, I'm sorry to wake you, but I need to buy some ingredients for dinner, could I have some money for that?"

Riz-"..."

Slar-"Uh?..., Miss Riz?"

Riz-"....., yeah....., here, take my card and buy everything you need, haha, make sure to cook good, ok?"

Slar-" Yes ma'am!"

Riz-" Here, Rain, Coma to Mama~"

Rain-"Uh.., no it's fine I'll go back to my room."

Riz-"....., Don't say that~, c'mon~ just come here~"

Slar-" Sir, please go to your mother, I need to run for groceries now, thanks for helping me."

Saying so I handed Rain to Miss Riz, and quickly ran to the market.

Third person's POV.

Rain-" Uh.., hi Mom~"

Riz-"Hey there cupcake, say, how come he gets to hug you up before me?"

Rain-" *Gulp*.. aaa, actually I was helping him find you and my legs were too weak to walk, so."

Riz-" Is that so?"

As Rain was sitting on Riz's lap, her hands were slowly curling around his waist, her nose just inches away from his left cheek,

With every breath, Riz was taking a whiff of Rain's scent.

Riz-" Sweety, do you know I'm very jealous.., everyone cuddled you, and they the new guy got to carry you in his arms, why am I the last one? I'm your mother, I should have the first right in you, why? , why? tell me, sweetheart, why?"

Riz's eyes were half opened and her breathing was ragged, her nose and lips slowly traveling from Rain's cheek to his neck.

Rain-" I I don't know...., sometimes you just scare me?"

Riz-" Sometimes?..., but sweety you just won't up this morning."

Rain-" I don't know...., you just, ... scare me"

Riz's lips traveled back to Rain's cheek through his neck, until she was kissing his cheek.

Riz-" When you called me mom, was it forced?"

Rain-" I wouldn't say forced..., but not a willing one."

Riz-" *Sigh*..., Fine..., go to your room."

Rain-" Can you carry to there? my legs aren't working properly yet."

Riz-" Sure, let's go baby boy, you wanna open your new pet?"

Rain-" Pet?"

Riz-" Hehe, let's go and see it."

Sorry for the late chapter

But I can't seem to find my drawing pad, apparently, I forgot it in my parent's home, so it's gonna take some time till I get it back,

till then, I've been trying many character designs, my previous illustrations were decent but I wanna give them a Korean comic look, what do you call that?, manhwa?,

I want my characters to look a little mature and not too cartoony.

That's it, thank you for reading.
