Chereads / My Demon guardian / Chapter 22 - [ CHAPTER 22 ]

Chapter 22 - [ CHAPTER 22 ]

"Yeah, missy wake up how long do you wanna sleep huh?" Wuhan says, shaking Shia's body to wake her up. She opens her eyes slowly, "now get up we have to leave " he says, opening the curtains, making the sunlight hit her face. Shia makes an uncomfortable face before slowly opening her eyes. adjusting the new bright room light. her hair is messy making her look funny.

"L-leave?" She questions, stretching her body cutely. She wants to sleep more. she never felt this tired before maybe it's a mortal world thing that you get tired of easily.

"Yes we are going to park for Ummm have fun I guess and also you better get up otherwise Kwan will get mad at me "  He shrugs, making Shia's eyes widen and she stands up immediately. he sent her to the bathroom and she runs toward it. Wuhan smiles lightly before heading back to the kitchen. " missy is cute " he coos, start getting the ingredients, but before he starts making breakfast.

"Uuuugggggghhhhhhhhhhh" Shia screams her lungs out. Wuhan runs towards the bathroom in a panic. he doesn't need to knock not because he is perverted, but because he hears Shia's scream. He breaks on the door. "W-what happened missy? Are you okay?" He asked catching up his breath.

Suddenly, Shia runs to him and hugs him he froze on the spot. " your water comes from hell? It's - it's hot " his eyes widen hearing that, "What? Show me where it burns," he says hurriedly seeing her hands, worry is printed on his face. it's like his heart is about to stop pumping. he doesn't know why he is worried about her so much. he never cared about any girl before but Shia is the exception. he is too busy examining her hands when she suddenly says, "Here" she lefts her leg to show where it burns, and he releases a sigh "missy be careful why don't you tell me for- " he stops talking when he realized that she doesn't know anything about this world. he huffs before looking at her.

"Nevermind, look it works like this okay, and from this button, it turns cold okay?" He teaches her how to open and convert the tab, She nods obediently seeing the new thing her eyes sparkle.

Time skip...

"Where is chim?"  Shia asks looking for Kwan. "His name is Kwan, missy " Wuhan corrects her, it's been his routine to correct Shia, but she never gets his name right, it sounds cute tho but Wuhan doesn't like her to call kwan by nicknames. " Chim " she repeats but again wrong. He sighs while shaking his head.

" Heeyyyyy guys how are you? " Shia turns to the voice,  " chim," she says before running toward him. He smiles at her running figure. "Hey mis-" he stops his words when Shia hugs him, a red color creeping on his face. Tae chuckles at his state while Wuhan joins them with not-so-happy expressions. " Um, missy how are you?" Kwan chirps while patting her head. She nods happily, giving him a cute smile.

________________________________________________

"Okay missy, Do not run too far. Just play in front of us and if you need anything, just tell me okay?" She nodded like an obedient dog who understands every word of his master. they come to the playground to have a fun time together, but Shia is insisting that they let her play on the ground where there are so many rides.

"Now go and play " she runs, toward the garden in front of them. Kwan looks at her "looks like someone is already behaving like a mom here" Wuhan chuckles seeing Kwan, telling Shia the rules.

Kwan glares at him "yeah I am not a mom-"

"But you act like ' Okay missy do not run too far blah blah blah ' " Wuhan makes fun of him, while tae laughs loudly seeing both of them fighting. " Yah you bunny, " Kwan says, making Wuhan glare at him this time.

Tae laughs at their small bricks wanting to interrupt "Okay okay, enough both of you, you both are grown up now don't act like children " tae says, making both of them stop their little war of words which is not that serious.

"Come here, sit " they both made their way toward tae and sat silently but after a few minutes they got back to their normal talks.

"Chim, bunny. look, what I found " Shia runs to them, lifting her hand in the air to show them. She stands beside them and shows them her small fist. " What's there, missy?" Tae asks her, she smiles before opening her fist.  Their eyes widened. "What is this missy?" Wuhan says, seeing a small creepy worm, crawling in her hand.

"Look it has so many..... Many legs " she says, while having little difficulty using words, Wuhan panics and jerks her hand, and the worm crawls further. She instantly makes a pout because her small insect is thrown away.

" Missy it is dangerous don't touch this kind of thing okay " Wuhan warns, and she nods sadly. again she runs toward the garden. " We have to teach her so many things," Wuhan says, before releasing a sigh. The elder boys nod in agreement.

Time skips to 30 minutes.

they are having fun while sitting on the bench. but suddenly a lady approaches them. " Umm, sir? " Tae looks at the lady who calls him. " Me? " He gestures toward him. The lady nodded. 

"Your girlfriend is fighting with the kids on the play side so, please get her back with you, " the lady says politely, he frowns " girlfriend? " they all tilt their heads while looking at each other.

The lady nods, "the one who wears a black oversize hoodie, I saw her with you guys a few minutes ago" their eyes widened " MISSY, " they all say in unison, and make their way toward the play side of the kid...

-----

"Missy,  why did you fight with those kids huh?" ~ Wuhan scolds Shia for her behavior before. She hangs her head low in embarrassment. Wuhan sighs. "Look, Missy, I told you if you want something you have to tell us didn't I? You are new to everything here why are you creating a mess" Wuhan says, using a kinda hard tone. but soon realizes. " But they said I am too old to play with them," she says, a tear forming in her eye by the end of the sentence. Everyone's eyes are softened seeing their small creature tearing up.

" Come here " Wuhan hugs her to comfort her. She starts sobbing in his arm. "I want to play " shia mumbles in his embrace, wuhan looks at both of them, they have pitied eyes too. " We are here missy, let's go we will play with you " she raised her head. her eyes are shining with tears but they sparkle when she hears Kwan's words.

"Really? Will you play with me?" ~ Shia confirms that. Kwan nods before he ruffles her hair. They went back to Wuhan's house. not wanting Missy to cry anymore.

_____________

"So missy what do you want to play?" Tae asks as soon as they settle down on the couch, she thinks about something but ends up pouting when she can't think of any game.

"Okay let's play q/n " Kwan chirps while giving an assuring nod to both of them, they understand his motive behind this. it's time to ask about her background. Shia looks at him confused. "What is this?" She questions. " Um like we will ask you a question and you will answer them okay?" She nods happily, getting the idea. " Okay, me first, where are your wings and horn? " ~ tae asks with precautions.

"Um I tried to spell some magic, then, I just felt a sharp pain in my back, and then when I opened my eyes they were gone", she says, " Uh, so you are the only immortal? " She shakes her head in 'no' . " there are so many like me, um my father, brother and mother, water God, flower goddess, and her daughter and many more "

"So all we read about immortals was true? " kwan says, She nods happily. " My father, told me that years ago, mortals and immortals lived together, mortals became greedy, because they want immortality so we separated our worlds and closed all the Portal of two worlds " she narrates the story, which her dad told her. They listen to her carefully. " Okay next, me if all the portals are close then why was that portal open?" ~ Kwan again asks. " I don't know, one portal was open, I first came here many years ago with my friend Irene. we played in the forest for hours and then went back home, I also met a human baby there on the forest side, he lived there with his parents. he had bunny teeth like Bunny. " she points at Wuhan, who nods absorbing her every word. her story is interesting. they are listening to her like 5-years toddlers. she continues " one day that portal got closed I don't know how. I stopped going there but one day when I was going back to my home I felt like I should check that portal again and it was open, I crossed that portal and roamed around to find that baby bunny, I was wondering if he is still a baby or a big boy now, " Wuhan chuckles making everyone look at him. " of course Missy, that baby is maybe a young boy " getting a nod from Shia. everyone smile before their smiles drop hearing her next words." and after that a dog attacked me, and I end up in that state. "

" Sir our one worker isn't back yet from that portal " a person informs his boss, " You think that portal is something special, although we didn't find anything besides that bloodstain on that tree near the portal," a person asks in a stern voice, wearing a mask on his face. a black suit, shining brightly under the room light. " Not yet but soon boss because our scientists claim that, that blood does not belong to the human or any other animal"  the information brings a smirk on the person's face. although he is wearing a mask but still, anyone can presume that he is smirking, Which is nothing but creepy.

"Soon I will find you, little demon" he whispers.
