Chapter 26

She cheerfully bounced towards Do-Yun. Her curiosity asked, "Hey, did you notice that I couldn't teleport yesterday?" Her stomach burped immediately after she finished her question.

His stare moved down to her stomach. At the time, Dae-Seong entered with some food on a plate. He put it on the table and left without even giving them a look back.

Do-Yun's eyes followed his movement by standing right there in his position, while Ara's starving eyes were only on the plate.

She jumped near the food quickly after Dae-Seong shut the door.

Do-Yun took his cell phone and checked the VLive app while Ara chomped the food as she sat comfortably on the bed.

Her chopping mouth asked again the same question. "I asked you, did you know?"

"I don't care as long as I've slept peacefully," he carelessly growled.

"Can you please get out of here?" He asked favorably and added, "I'm going to do V Live!"

She pouted. "Where do I go?"

"Go to Dae-Seong's room!" He ordered as his gaze was on the phone, placing it on the table, he started the live.

The phone was facing the ceiling while he was sitting in the chair. He was standing up the phone to it facing him when Ara's dissatisfied steps left the room.

She knocked on Dae-Seong's room door gently, there was a plate in her hand.

He opened it, looking at her nervous face. He asked, "Do you need something?"

"No-" Her lips struggled to say the right word and stumbled letters delivered properly as he bewildered her, "Yes."

"He is busy doing live. So, he asked me to..." She trailed off the last word with a downed head.

"Okay, come in." He opened the door wide for her.

She hesitantly went in, and her archiving gazes roamed at the room's style.

"Sit here," he tapped on the bed.

So, she sat and started to mince the food while Dae-Seong was writing something in his notebook by settling in the chair.

In Do-Yun's room, He was doing live in front of two million people.

He said, "Sorry," genuinely and while explaining his situation about the rumors that spread without his knowledge.

His fans send warm comments and messages after seeing his depressed face.

On the other hand, a whining sound came from Dae-Hyun's room.

Dae-Hyun was also doing live in the vLive app, and he was crying out like a child in front of 1.8 million fans.

He whimpering. "They said there was no tiny penthouse episode!" and felt guilty, "Sorry, guys!" wiping off the tear on his face.

There were a lot of messages with laughing emojis.

He squeezed his dim-view eyes and looked clearly at the comment, sniffing and asking, "Why are you guys laughing?"

"Am I looking funny when I'm crying?"

His blossoming smile dimmed as soon as he saw the reply "yes" from the comment section.

In Dae-Seong's room, Dae-Seong twirled his seat towards her and asked, "Don't you have any memory of your parents?"

She stopped mincing, looking straight into his eyes. She replied, "No!"

"How did you own a bookshop?" he asked quickly.

"That's my guardian's. After she died, I owned it myself," her soft voice genuinely responds.

"Oh..." He trailed off with a little concerned expression as he twirled back to his position.

She finished her plate and asked, "Why are you curious about my parents?"

His moving pupils stopped quickly. He turned to her after a few seconds of silence while she was waiting for his answer, then he said, "I thought you would be a witch after seeing you teleport here."

She nodded as she apprehended, but her inner self was still pampering.

Dae-Hyun switched off the lights in his room and went to sleep.

The next morning, Ara woke up from her bed, squeezing her eyes and yawning.

The newborn sun was slowly rising in the sky. The time was 8:00 a.m.

Dae-Seong was getting ready in casual outfits. When he was about to open the main door of their dorm, Do-Yun approached him with an evil smile. "I like to come with you too."

Dae-Seong looked down at his shocked foot. "Where are your shoes?"

His realized eyes looked down at his foot and instructed, "Just wait here!" and rushed into his room.

But Dae-Seong left and locked the door.

He came out of the elevator on the ground floor.

A junior trainee who had a handsome face and cute charm moved fast toward him as soon as he noticed him in a casual outfit.

His wondering prompted him to ask, while Dae-Seong didn't even mind his words but kept walking forward towards the main door, "Are you going somewhere?"

Do-Yun opened the door, and pouted angrily, disappointed at realizing he had been fooled by his Hyung.

That junior trainee's feet followed back at him. "Hyung, take me with you! Take me with you!" He was following back him with bouncing feet, unable to contain his excitement.

He followed him to the entrance, the black car arrived in front of them.

Dae-Seong got handsomely in the driver's seat after the driver came out of the car.

Dae-Seong put the mask on while the junior trainee eagerly waited for his reply.

"Get in!" His gentle voice said.

The boy excitedly opened the car door and jumped in the seat.

Ara was sweeping her bookshop with an empty face.

She came to the entrance and was cleaning that area. She lifted her arm and gestured towards the dog, which was staring at her from a little distance.

She roared, "If you don't bring a customer, don't come inside!" She strictly voiced her opinion.

At the time, Dae-Seong's car arrived in front of her. She gazed confusedly at Dae-Seong, who was getting out of the car and coming to her.

"Let's go!" he said straightly.

That junior trainee peeked at her as his mind processed the loading of her face as he remembered seeing her somewhere before.

"Where?" She quickly responds, blinking cutely.

"To your orphanage," he said, raising an eyebrow to let her remember her words.

She sighed a little, "Sorry, it will take one day to reach there."

"It's okay, come on!" He pulled her hand.

She pulled back, giving full force to her hand while twisting her mouth slightly.

"Then, who will take care of my shop?" She turned her head toward her shop.

"He will!" Dae-Seong's stare moved to the unaware junior trainee who was listening to their conversation from inside the car.

She glared at the black window. Dae-Seong dropped her hand to open the door to where that boy was.

He bent in and asked, "What are you doing by staying in?"

"Get off!"

"Me?" that boy pointed doubtfully and got out of the car.

"He will take care of the bookshop," he said as Ara raised an eyebrow, staying in that position for a while.

That junior trainee politely bowed with a little hesitation. She bowed back to him.

"But, Hyung!" He tried to whisper near Dae-Seong's ear, but he moved the slide to open the front door for her.

Ara halted him before getting in the car by grabbing his hand.

"What now?" Dae-Seong was annoyed but didn't show.

She gave a corner look to the trainee boy who was watching them. And she moved closer to Dae-Seong and moved her lips to her ears to whisper something as the trainee boy tried to hear their conversation by moving his face closer to them.

Dae-Seong placed his palm on his face and halted from getting closer as she whispered, "I will be teleported to where Do-Yun is if time reaches 9:00 PM,"

"Let's get in first!" He ordered as she moved back her face from his.

That junior train made faces like he hated the whole world while Ara was getting in the car.

Dae-Seong shut the car door by making sure that she pulled in her skirt.

"Take care of it well!" Dae-Seong patted his shoulder kindly and added, "Stay here till we come back!"

He went back to his driver's seat.

The car was moving from there, and he saw the two dogs coming to the bookshop casually without minding him.

They sat near the entrance.

He pouted and went into the bookshop.

And he sat on the cashier's seat with that lazily lowered shoulder.
