They all went to Alen's house. Kim and Alen led the way, while Ozi carried Ren while conversing in the back. "Ren, does it hurt? Are you sure you don't need to double-check?" asked Ozi attentively.
Ren put his chin on Ozi's shoulder. "Ozi, I'm really fine. It seems, your anxiety level has increased because you haven't seen me for a long time," She teased with a small laugh. she was a little amused that it had been a long time since she had heard Ozi being so considerate of her.
Ozi glanced briefly at Ren's face. "Haha. You haven't changed since the beginning. Always smiling after worrying others," Ozi said with a hollow laugh.
"After all, who asked you to worry about me?" Ren argued.
"Are you done dating? Do you want to stay outside while I lock the door from the inside?" sarcastically Alen who had opened the door. he looked at Ren who closed his eyes while resting his chin on Ozi's shoulder. I don't know why he was upset about it.
"No, no. Ren should rest inside," Ozi told Alen. Then, he entered Alen's house and lowered Ren right on the chair. Meanwhile, the owner of the house prepares drinks in the kitchen.
Ozi sat back on the sofa right next to Ren. he breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally I can rest."
Not long after, Alen returned with mango juice and served it to Ozi. "Drink, you must be tired from carrying Ren who is quite heavy," said Him who immediately got an annoyed look from Ren. After that, the girl turned her face away while pouting her lips.
Ozi picked up the glass on the table and smelled it. Then, he looked at Alen with a shy smile. "Is there no apple juice? I don't really like mangoes."
"Just drink it or not at all," said Alen nonchalantly. He sat opposite Ren and Ozi.
"You're so stingy," Ozi said with a frown. Then, he drank the mango juice a few sips.
"Ozi, how did you get here? Wasn't your father on guard since I was out of the border at the time?"
"That is easy. My father always did the same pattern when he was guarding a place. At first, he will mobilize all guards to guard a place. After a few days, the guard is slowly decreasing little by little."
"Did you also study power like your father?" ask Alen without
"Yes, that is so. I'm not at all interested. But, what can you do? It was my destiny as the only child of a regional leader."
"I already guessed. A kid like you is just being an oblivious submissive."
"Hey! Do you think I don't want to be free like you guys? Besides, what do you know about power?" Ozi asked half disdainfully. he gulped mango juice until he had half a glass left, then asked, "By the way, where are your parents? When are they coming home?"
"When you're a guest, you have to understand manners," said Kim, who had just returned from the bathroom. she waved her hands because they were still wet.
"I live alone here," said Alen, pouring water into a glass.
Ozi who was trying to finish his mango juice now stopped with the glass still raised. he frowned, then looked at Ren and Alen in turn. After that, he squinted at Ren, "Are you staying here alone with him?"
Ren, who seemed confused at first, finally understood the direction of Ozi's thoughts. "Stop overreacting! We slept separately. You'll see it later," he evaded, then took Ozi's mango juice and gulped it down.
"Wouldn't it be better if we rented another place?" Ozi asked in a low voice, but Kim and Alen could still hear it. He spoke quietly so that only Ren could hear.
"I have no money. Do you have any? Rent houses here are very expensive," said Ren, who instead spoke quietly. Her face and Ozi's face grew closer.
"Luckily, you can live here for free," Alen told Ozi. "Perhaps, you can rent one of the houses in this town. That's if you are the richest man like you say," he sneered.
Ozi looked at Alen in annoyance. "Are you making fun of me? If only I brought money, I could buy this house along with this land!"
Hearing that, Alen shrugged as if he didn't care. he drank a glass of water that he poured until it ran out. After that, he saw that the distance between Ren and Ozi was getting closer. Instantly, he became a little annoyed.
***
Ren put a rope on his hand because she was going to the dining room. Alen and Ozi did tell her to stay in the room, but she was bored. Just as she had just gotten off the bed, Ozi appeared with a tray filled with a bowl of food and a glass of water.
"Ren, I brought food here. As I said, you can't go out just yet. You should rest for a while."
"You're such a jerk," Ren said, then snorted in annoyance.
Ozi scooped the rice out of the bowl and then put it in Ren's mouth. Even though it felt awkward, Ren still devoured the mouthful of rice. However, Alen came into the room, then laughed amused while looking at Ren and being fed by Ozi.
"You just go back to being a child if you can't feed yourself," Alen teased, still laughing mischievously. Ren also chewed his food quickly while glaring at Alen.
"I guess you should go to the doctor for an eye exam. Can't you see his injured hand?" defended Ozi while continuing to feed Ren. Ren immediately smiled and continued eating happily.
Alen saw Ren smiling at Ozi and eating his food mouthful after mouthful. "She can still use her left hand. You just have to be fed," he mocked without thinking.
Ozi looked at Alen sharply. he put the food on the tray again. "Want to try it out? Here let me break your hand!" annoyed as he stood.
