Yumi was stunned when she realized that Yuhan is not on his bed, 'Where did that little rat go?' She asked her self.
She tried to check the bathroom, but no one is inside, 'Ugh!' Yumi felt annoyed, 'Why do I bother my self looking for that little rat?'
'I don't care where he goes, we're not related anyway,' Yumi said inside, but then she froze. she doesn't know why, but she felt uneasy knowing that Yuhan is not in his bedroom late at night and she doesn't like this kind of feeling!
"I'm not bothered!" Yumi convinced here self, "I was just guilty because I was the one he talked with before he left!" Yumi nodded her head as she spoke to her self, like insane.
Yumi took a deep breath before she got out of Yuhan's room.
'What do I do now?' She asked her self as soon as she closed Yuhan's bedroom door.
'I shouldn't be worried, there are security guards around the mansion, they will surely see Yuhan wherever he is!'
Yumi headed to her bedroom, but she still felt bothered inside even if she keeps on denying it to her self!
'Aish!" Yumi stumped her feet due to frustration!
"This is why I hate kids!"
"You have to look after them carefully!" She mumbled annoyingly.
She should at least ask the securities if they saw Yuhan, to make sure that he did not run away from home!
Yumi froze when she realized something,
'Wait, isn't this what she wants?'
'For that little rat to go away from her?'
'Uh, this sounds good though' The evil side of Yumi's mind said.
'Ah, really Yumi?'
'You'll let that five-year-old kid run away from home?'
'He is helpless!'
'He can't find a job to earn money to feed himself if he gets hungry!'
"Okay Yumi, you are rude, yes!"
"But you're not evil!"
With that thought, Yumi hurriedly headed downstairs to look for Yuhan, but as soon as she reached the living room, the front door suddenly opened and comes Jin, carrying Yuhan in his right arm while the child's head rested on his shoulder, on his left hand was the storybook that Yuhan asked her to read for him.
Yumi instantly changed her expression, her hurried footsteps automatically turned slow when she saw them. She gave Jin a doubtful side glance.
Jin's footsteps came to a stop when he saw Yumi, "Good evening, Young Miss," He greeted her with his stiff expression.
Yumi stopped a meter away from Jin, she put her arm around her chest, "Why are you with him?" She asked sternly, there is no trace of worry in her face anymore.
"I saw the Young Master in the garden, he was crying, because somebody else doesn't want to read him a story," Jin said.
"Whatever!" Yumi replied as if she doesn't care about it.
"Go upstairs and put him to bed," She said.
Jin did not move,
Yumi raised her brow, "What?"
"Why are you not moving?" She asked.
"I don't know where his room is, Young Miss,"
"Oh!" Yumi blurted out, 'How could she forget about that?'
'This guy doesn't usually enter inside the house, and as of she remember, this is her first time to see him inside the mansion!'
"Alright," Yumi put down her arms, "Follow me, then," She said, she then walks towards the stairs.
Jin followed Yumi upstairs.
"This is his room," Yumi said as she opened the room's door.
Yumi took the storybook from Jin, and she put it down on the bedside table.
Jin put down Yuhan on his bed, he then straightened his body and he looked at Yumi, "I shall take my leave now, Young Miss," He said and then he turned to leave.
Yumi turned her head to Yuhan who is lying on his bed. "You little rat!" She mumbled, she then walked closer to the bed and removed Yuhan's slippers before she pulled the blanket to prevent him from getting cold.
Yumi is not aware that Jin is still outside, looking at her actions.
Jin raised the corners of his lips as he watched Yumi's sweet gesture.
'I know it, you still have a soft side in you,' He mumbled inside.

Jin went downstairs, he was about to pass the living room, but he stopped when he saw a book at the top of the center table, Mr. Alcantara might have left that book in there.
Jin read the book's title, it is the best selling book about business, that explains the power of disruption, why market leaders are often set up to fail as technologies and industries change and what incumbents can do to secure their market leadership for a long time.
Jin is interested in these kinds of books because it added knowledge to him.
The front door suddenly opened and Alicia and Dimitry entered.
Jin turned his head to the door, "Good evening, ma'am, sir," He greeted.
"Good evening," Dimitry and Alicia replied.
"Why are you still up?"
"It's already late," Dimitry asked when they approached Jin.
"Ah,"
"I just brought the Young Master to his room,"
"Oh," Alicia blurted out, and Jin can see the confusion in her face.
"Ah, T-the Young Master fell asleep while I was reading him a story in the garden."
"I see," Alicia replied with a smile on his face.
Jin finds Mrs. Alcantara a nice woman, he wonders why Yumi hates her stepmother so much,
"I-I shall take my leave now, Ma'am, sir" Jin excused himself after a while.
"Wait," Dimitry suddenly spoke.
"Huh?!" Jin stopped in his track when he heard Mr. Alcantara.
"Are you interested in business?" Mr. Alcantara asked.
Jin looked at his master, "W-What?"
"I saw you looking at that book," Mr. Alcantara pointed the book at the top of the table.
"Ah," Jin was not able to say a word for a few seconds, he thought that Mr. Alcantara is mad, " I-I'm sorry, sir, I didn't mean to---"
"No," Dimitry did not give Jin a chance to finish his word, " It's alright," He added.
"Huh?!" Jin was a bit stunned.
"It's just interesting that you have an interest in the business at a young age," Dimitry commented.
"Ah," Jin forced a smile, " Maybe because of my father," he said.
"He was a former store manager, and I used to go to his workplace before,"
"Oh, I see," Dimitry said.
"So, where is your father---" Dimitry stopped when he realized that he is being too curious,
"I'm sorry, I should have not asked too much," He apologized, he is just curious about this kid.
"Oh, it's alright, sir," Jin replied.
"Ah, I notice you liked reading books," Dimitry changed the topic.
"Yes, sir, It's my hobby to read books,"
" I have a lot of books in my library, you can borrow it anytime you want. I am giving you the authority to enter the library any time you want."
"Ah," Jin is almost speechless!
"T-Thank you, that is so kind of you, sir," He said.
Dimitry jut nodded his head.
"I shall take my leave, ma'am, sir," Jin bowed his head before he left.
Dimitry's gaze followed Jin until he is out of his sight.
"You seemed so interested in that kid," Alicia commented when Jin was gone.
"Yeah, he is smart, I can see my old self in him," Dimitry replied.
"You knew that I came from nothing too and I can see that kid has potentials, I believe that everybody can be successful if they know how to take chances."
Alicia smiled, this is why she loves this man because he stays humble even if he is a successful man.
"I heard he is good at school," She commented.
"Really?"
"Ennn..."
"He is a consistent honor student since primary school,"
"That's good for him," He said as he started walking to the stairs.
