Bored

Key, who is in Ervan's villa, has now grumbled continuously, as for the reason Key grumbled like that, none other than because she was bored, especially her bodyguard Chan and also Erhan looked stiff and stared at her continuously.

At first Key had told Ethan, as well as Chan to be able to relax with her, even Key had invited the two of them to want to play with her, but still the answers of the two of them remained the same....

'Sorry, we can only do according to Mr Galen's protocol and instructions'

Key, who heard those words several times, finally chuckled in annoyance and bowed before the two.

"Why are you obeying uncle, uncle said you are Key's bodyguard, so it's up to Key! Besides, Key didn't ask for anything strange, Key just wants you to accompany me, because I'm bored here."

The two bodyguards remained silent and smiled at Key.

"Sorry-"

"Sorry, we can only do as per protocol and Mr Galen's instructions."

Key quickly cut Ethan off, and repeated the sentence the young man was about to say.

"Hey, Uncle Ethan, Uncle Chan isn't a robot, why repeat the same sentence!" snapped Key at last, stomping into the room she used in the villa.

Chan, as well as Ethan could only stare at each other's faces, as if talking to each other silently.

The two of them walked to the door of Key's room, intent on returning to duty.

Just as Chan and Ethan stood in front of Key's door, the sound of sobbing began to ring in both of the young man's ears.

Suddenly Chan and Ethan looked at each other, and knocked on the girl's door.

Key ignored them from inside the room, all that could be heard from outside the door were anguished sobs.

"Just open it Than," Chan said giving Ethan the code.

Ethan couldn't help but try to open the door, but it was locked.

"Miss locked it," Ethan said in a low voice.

Chan also gave Ethan the code to open it with the spare key, especially now that Key's sobs were getting louder in the ears of the two young men.

Ethan sighed softly and reached into his pocket for the key.

Click

"Hey!!! Thud!"

A scream and a pillow flew out and landed right on Chan's face.

"It's me, miss, are you okay?" asked Chan as he rubbed his cheek lightly.

There was a low moan, accompanied by a screech that told Chan and Ethan to get out of her room.

It seemed like Key was really sulking this time, because she was too bored to be there without any activities, especially her smart brain that she couldn't use.

Ethan, who didn't understand Key's sulk, finally asked Key if she was okay or not.

Quickly, Key finally took the mobile phone that Ervan had given her earlier to contact Ervan, with a sobbing voice.

To be honest, she was crying not because she was sulking, but Key, who was previously tired of sulking and fell asleep, remembered her nightmare again.

The dream of her past that happened in front of her eyes.

"Hello."

"Hng, what's wrong Key?" asked the person on the other side of the phone.

Key took a deep breath before opening up to Ervan.

"U...-ncle how come Uncle Chan and Uncle Ethan can't play with me? They're so stiff like robots, I'm bored and I...Arrggh...-"

Key screeched suddenly as she smacked her head lightly, biting her lip.

Suddenly both Chan and Ethan approached Key's bed.

Key's face looked pale, and groans of pain adorned Key's beautiful face.

"Hey, Are you ok?" screeched Ervan frantically on the other side of her phone.

Ethan immediately took the phone that was previously in Key's hand, and picked up the phone to explain Key's condition.

Ervan, who began to understand Ethan's conversation, as well as remembering Key's previous conversation, immediately instructed Ethan to calm Key down, and said that he would be back soon.

With great care, Chan immediately rubbed Key's shoulders lightly.

"Miss, we're here. We'll take care of you, Miss. Don't be like this," Chan said carefully.

The moans of pain she had felt slowly began to diminish.

To be honest, Key herself didn't know why the bad memories had been appearing so often lately, whereas as far as she could remember, these dreams rarely appeared.

The dream once appeared when Key was preoccupied with the accumulated tasks of her lecturer at that time.

She remembered only that time! The rest of the time, the dream almost never entered her subconscious.

Then why did it become intense now?

"Uncle, should we just play or give me something to do, or do you have a puzzle I need to solve? ... -"

For a moment Key stopped her conversation while biting her lip.

"I-I'm afraid if I fall asleep again I'll remember it," Key said from between her tiny lips as she busily linked her fingers together.

Chan seemed to glance at Ethan as if they were discussing it with each other.

Ethan, who had received instructions from Ervan earlier, finally softened, and nodded his head to Key's will.

Hearing Ethan's words, Key's eyes lit up, and got up from her bed, while pulling Chan and Ethan's arms at the same time.

"Come on uncle, let's go out! I'll give you the easiest riddle," Key said cheerfully as if she had forgotten what happened before.

Chan and Ethan couldn't help but follow Key's lead, after all, Ervan had told Ethan to follow Key's wishes.

They couldn't refuse, let alone refute.

"Sit down uncle. I'm going to ask you some questions, don't worry it won't be hard, I'm smaller than you and I know the answers,' Key said with a smile on her face.

Chan and Ethan just nodded their heads waiting for Key's questions.

They thought the questions Key would give them were easy and they would be able to answer them, until they started to listen to increasingly strange questions.

Starting from how far away the planets were from each other, or maybe other strange things that Key gamblingly asked Chan and Ethan.

Key even asked about Archimedes' law and other laws that Key had memorised off the top of her head, without forgetting any of them.

Oh come on Chan and Ethan are not as smart and intelligent as Key, a seventeen-year-old girl with an IQ of 156.

Click!

"Uncle!!!" shrieked Key as she ran to find Ervan who had just entered the villa.

A smile on Ervan's lips was clearly visible to the girl he had always thought of as a little girl.

Thud!

Key threw her body into Ervan's arms.

Thump!

Ervan's heartbeat, which was originally normal, seemed to race quickly when he got Key's sudden hug.

Ervan tried to gulp down his saliva roughly.

His body was a little stiff, and his eyes were trying to get away from Key who was still faithfully hugging him.

Until .....

"What's wrong with them Key?"
