Chapter 23: Ting!

"Oh yeah... Uh.... How do I explain this.... Uhm...."

He looks like he is hesitating to tell me something and then I just remember how he managed to know a lot about me.

"Let's just say that..... I have this thing called...."

.

.

.

".... System"

As soon as I heard those words, I just looked at him.... He is avoiding my gaze and then after a few seconds, I say something..... Shocking..... Bone shattering... Mind blowi--

"System? What's that?"

We both looked at each other. Confused. I don't know what a system is, he didn'explaij it clearly and I don't know what does it connect to how does he know that I used to be a mercenary.

"Well what I meant is i-- y'know-- have you ever read a webtoon?"

He asked and then looked at me. Webtoon? Whats that?

"What is webtoon?"

"Oh yeah, what did I expect? You are a mercenary almodt all your life since you were four how are you gonna know what webtoon is right?"

Hr says again and then chuckle a little bit and then just looked at the air... As if he is dozing off.

'what is he just looking Infront of him...? Is there something I can't see that he can see?'

I asked in my mind because I can't understand what is happening right about now. How did he know that I'm a mercenary since I was 4?

"Hey system, is there any way that I can also show you to another person? Like... Uh..... Just to that one specific person....?"

He just randomly says while still looking Infront of him. I can't actually understand what is happening right about now.

"Oh yeah, that's great! Although just one person....."

"?"

He just randomly shouts saying those words and then say something again. Something that shows me what is he talking about.

"System's Existence. Julian Reaper."

He says those words which on first made me confused. But sonething Infront of me showed up....

[Julian's house]

"Hey Ara! How are you?~~~~"

A women says. This women is the same women who Julian saw when she asked for permission to go outside for an hour but it's almost 2 hours now when he goes out.

The women has a red long curly hair along with her red eyes. She is currently sitting at the sofa in the living room along with her four other friend including Julian's mom.

"I'm fine Aunty Kay..... How are uncle Stephen doing?"

Ara says as she gives some Juice to her aunty which is her mom's friend. Although not her real aunty, she calls her aunty because she is old enough to be someone's aunt and her husband is so busy at work, that's why they still dont have child despite being married for six years now.

"Oh yeah he is doing good! You should go to our house this weekend or so! Judt let me know and I'll gonna prepare a lot's of food"

"Oh you dont need to do that! Im gonna visit you anyway if you just told me that you judt got back from abroad..."

"Oh~~~ I'm sorry my sweet cinnamon~~ this aunt of yours is so excited to go here that's why I forget to inform you that I'm in the country already!"

She laughed and then drink her juice that Ara gave her. All of them also laugh as Ara go back to the kitchen to serve them some bread or cookies.

"You silly women! I didn't know you came back to the country already! When did you came back?"

Said the mom, Dahlia Reaper. All of them are close friends but,they rarely see each other because of their work.

"Oh I just come back yesterday! I brought some chocolates y'know!"

She says as she lay the bags she bought from abroad and lay it on the floor to show all of it.

"Oh! You are not the only one y'know! I buy some clothes for my lovely little nephew!!!!"

Says the women with a short and black hair with brown eyes. She is also sitting in the sofa that The women I introduce earlier is sitting. The sofa is big that's why all of them fit.

"Not just you! Even me y'know! I can't missed out of this because I missed my cute nephew!"

She says as she kissed Ara in the cheek who just came back from the kitchen preparing something for her mom and her friends to eat.

"Uhmm... Thanks.... Aunt but.... I wanna put this on the table first...."

"Just put it there and let me hug my cute nephew... Oh my...."

All of them looked at their direction... The women is looking at them certain spot of Ara's body..... Her chest.

"Your chest is so big Ara! Judt like your beautiful mom and aunts!"

The women says as she touches and compress her breath. She hug Ara .

"Urkkk!! Aunty...!!! I.... Can't..... Breath!!!!!!"

"Oh! Sorry!!!"

They all laughed after that meanwhile Ara trued to gasp some ajr because of how much oxygen dhe just lost because if that hug.

"Ara~~~ how are your studies?~~~ are you having a hard time?~~~"

A women with a long dark hair says. She has a brown eyes and just like the others, she is also sitting at the sofa.

"I heard that she is doing good though!"

A women with brown hair says this time. She has a dark eyes. And for the last time, just like the others, she is also seating at the sofa.

"Oh yeah.... I was doing okay! No problem!"

She happily says with a huge smile on her face.

"Just say to me if you have a problem in school Ara.... And also tell your brother that tell me if I can do anything to help! You kids shouldn't have any burden on your shoulders!"

The mom says with a determination on her face to help her children.

"She says she is oka~~ you should relax your self more often y'know~~~ and by the way...."

Mrs. Crimson say, the one with the red hair.

"Brother? How is he doing? Isn't he in the dangerous situation when he was a kid? Is he doing okay?"

All of them turn their heads in Ara and The Mom, waiting for their answer.

"He is doing well... Although he didn't say anything yet because of how traumatic it is and he also said that he forgot some of it already so...."

The mom explains with a sad tone and then lower her head.

"Poor kid.... He is just 4 years ild when that happens....."

"Yeah.... Poor him.."

"Where is he anyway?"

The mom looked at them trying to analyse the question... That's when she remembers that Julian is still outside.

"Oh yeah! He says that he is gonna come out for a while i wonder where is h-"

She didnt managed to continue what she is going to say when the door opens and then someone enter.

He has a gray hair and red eyes. He enters the room and then go to the direction of Ara.

"Hello Ara, how are you?"

He says with a dmule on his face while looking at Ara.

"Hello Sam, what's up? How have you been?"

"I'm doing oka-"

He also didn't managed to continue what he is going to say when he got hit in the end by the women with red hair.

"Mom!"

"You should ask your aunts if they are doing well!"

She shouts at him but he didn't shout back because he knows what he did was wrong and if he shouts back, he thinks that Ara is gonna think that he is spoiled.

"Hello aunt Reaper, hello aunt Lenny, hello aunt Cha and hello aunt Danny"

"Hello~~"

"Hello Sam~~"

"Hello"

"H--"

For one last time, before the last aunt says hi, someone enter again.

It is Julian and.... His friend.

"We finally made it back home...."

I said as we are currently standing Infront of our house.

"Is it okay for me to stay here?"

"Of course, you can sleep in my room since I was sleeping alone anyway"

"Thanks"

We both enter our house. I saw my mom and the other four women's, my sister and a guy with a gray hair.

'who is he?'

I said in my mind while looking at the guy who's arms is wrap around my sister's neck. I don't think my sister likes that because she looks uncomfortable.

"Oh, you are here Julian. Looks like you brought a friend"

My mom says as she bent her head to looked at who is standing in my back which is Jin.

"Oh.... Forgive me...."

".....My name is Jin"
