Blessing

“What are you doing?”

“Nothing! I was hungry so…”

Jaehyun just sighs at his friend. Well, he knew very well his friend is not used to eating in this kind of place. He's been a rich guy since he was young!

“You eat in this kind of place?”

“O-of course!”

“What did you order then?”

That question took lots of time to be answered. Baek Hyun is not going to tell the child that he ask the person he likes to choose the food for him.

“Y-you will see!”

Jaehyun just walked to the guy and sat down in front of him. When his mother went to the table to serve the food, she was shocked.

“Jaehyun! Don’t disturb the brother eating!”

“N-no worries! Let him sit here! He’s not a bother!”

Jinhye was hesitating but soon just nodded and continued working. Jaehyun watches as the guy eats the food. Believe it or not, he can see Baek Hyun looking like a happy puppy. Well, guess that he’s exploring new things for Jaehyun’s mother.

“I’ll help you get together with my mom.”

Baek Hyun looked at the child with a more happy face.

“Really?!”

“Mhm. You deserve happiness after all.”

Baek Hyun heard the child’s whisper and wondered what’s that all about? Does a child care about him? Or was he actually thinking about his mother?

Well he doesn’t care now since the child has given him his blessing.

“Ah wait. Now, what do I do?”

Did he seriously just ask a 5 year old what to do?

Well, considering Jaehyun is not really 5 years old and his friend is so dumb, he will just tell every idea that his salmon brain can think of.

“Well, just approach her when she works at your company. Of course don’t approach her too much or else people will think she’s hitting on you or something.”

“But I want to talk with her with no limits!”

Jaehyun really wants to slap him. Well, with how small he is currently, he can’t do anything. He just sighs and looks at the guy.

“The only way you can do that is if she's your assistant or something.”

“Sadly.”

Both of them are just silently eating and Baek Hyun gives the child a hug before he goes back to work. Jaehyun was already standing with a confused face. What the hell was that?

A hug?

Really?

Jaehyun waits for his mother until it is night time. She bought him some snacks before going to the sauna to work. When she started working, Jaehyun just sat on the side again.

“You’re here, Hyun.”

“Doesn’t it weird you out when you call me with your old name?”

Jaehyun just drinks his banana milk and shrugs. Baek Hyun has Hyun too in his name so Jaehyun is used to joking around calling him Hyun. In conclusion, calling other people Hyun is a normal thing for him.

The system just lay down at the sauna with Jaehyun sitting next to him. He just wonders why Jaehyun is not working to level up his stats. He only works on Charisma and Luck. Well, luck depends on the human itself.

“You really gotta work for your stamina, strength and agility.”

“K.”

“Don't give me that!”

“I’ll work on it when I am allowed to go out alone.”

“Right. You’re a child.”

Jaehyun thought he was the stupid one here. Turns out, there is someone stupider than him. The clock hits 12 am and Jihye was shocked to see her son still up.

“Jaehyun? You’re still awake?”

“I am waiting,” he yawns a little. “for you.”

“Oh, honey. You shouldn’t have!”

Jaehyun’s head is already slowly falling because his small body is too weak to stay up. He ended up closing his eyes and he felt his mother’s hands caught him.

“Miss Jinhye! Do you need help?”

Jaehyun, who wanted to sleep, recognizes the voice but he is really tired. This time, he will let it slide since he is too tired. He will deal with Baek Hyun tomorrow.
