I..i'm Kim Ji wook.I'm.... 5." The boy introduced after Counting his age with his little fingers.
"Such a Intelligent kid you are. Ji wook." Yeong cooed as he caressed the little boy's head.
"Wookie is not intelligent, he..he is dumb." the boy said,sniffing.
"Hey hey kid, who told you that,huh?" Yeong asked curiously as he sat down next to the kid in the car.
"Eomma said. She s..said wookie is a j...jinx. B..because of him, mama & appa died." The little boy stutter as more tears filled his big brown eyes.
"That's not true,kid. Everybody die when they are destined to die. You are not the one to blame." Yeong said looking at the poor kid.
"B..bu..but if wookie di...didn't c..come here, e..eomma would ha..have d..died." Ji wook started sobbing loudly as soon as finished talking.
"It's not your fault, It's not your fault." Yeong kept saying it like a mantra as he hugged the trembling kid,trying to reassure the kid atleast a little bit.
This kid reminded him of his youngself when his mother died. He felt it was on him. He kept blaming himself untill he directed it toward his dad & suho.
He held the kid closer untill he fall asleep. Excessive crying & exhaustion catch up with the kid as he fall asleep in deep Slumber. Yeong gently lay him down at the back seat & went outside.
As soon as yeong came outside, he saw Ji ho was waiting for him.
"What did you find,hyung??" Yeong asked curiously.
"It's the same. This serial killer is really getting out of hand." Ji ho sighed.
" What about this kid?? Did you call his relatives?? " Yeong asked
" He has none. His mom & dad both were orphan. And his step mother families don't wanna take him in." Ji ho explained.
"Poor kid. What should we do now??" yeong asked, feeling pity for the poor boy.
" Let's take him to the nearest Orphanage for now." Ji ho stated.
An hour later
Ji ho & yeong took the kid to the nearest Orphanage and talked to the owner about the little boy's situation. The Owner lady felt sorry for the little boy & agreed to take him in.
Jin went toward the car & wake the sleeping boy.
"Ji wook....ji wook!!" Yeong called.
"Yes..yes!!! Eomma wookie is awake. Please don't hurt wookie." the kids jolt wake & started pleading which startled yeong a bit.
" Hey kid,It's me, Yeong." he reassured.
"Ahjussi??!!" Ji wook called out meekly as he finally recognised yeong.
"Yes,me. Come on.you need to come out." yeong said softly.
Yeong took the little boy in his arms as they went inside the Orphanage. There were young kids running, playing around. The Orphanage really live up to It's reputation as the largest Orphanage in seoul.
Yeong put the kid down when they reached their destination. When he was about to hand over the kid to the owner lady, he refused to let go off yeong's hand & clutched his hands tighter.
"Hey kiddo. Don't be afraid. They are good people. They will take a good care of you. " yeong tried to reassure the kid but still the kid refused to let go of him hands.
"You can make a lot of friends here. You saw them outside just now. You can play as much you want. And they will keep you safe." Yeong said to make the kid understand it was for his own good.
This time reluctantly let go of his hand when he hand over him to the owner lady. After saying the goodbye they started to leave. The kid started sobbing.
Yeong felt bad so he went back & hugged the little kid.
"Y..you are also le..leaving me." The boy sobbed.
"Don't worry,kiddo. I will come came tomorrow. " Yeong said feeling bad for tje little boy.
The boy sniffed & pushed his small finger
toward yeong, asking "promise???"
"Pinky promise." Yeong said, chuckling as their small fingers touched
Yeong patted the kid's hair for last time as the owner lady took the kid inside.
"You really liked kids, yeong-ssi." Ji ho asked after a long silence as the owner lady took Ji wook inside.
"Aniyo, I dont. " yeong refused, telling a white lie.
"Then, Maybe kids likes you a lot." Ji ho stated.
"Could be." Yeong said as a Small smile appeared on his lips as he stare at the direction where the owner lady disappeared with Ji wook.
'You are such a good soul, yeong-ssi. But why can't you let go of the past and forgive Suho & kim sir.' Ji ho thought, sighing.
"Let's go. You wanted to have lunch but It's already getting dark. This hyung will treat you a dinner today." Ji ho announced as he put his arms around Yeong's shoulder.
"Ok!! Let's go." Yeong said, chuckling.
As soon as they reached near the car, he rushed to the driving seat. Why?? Cause he missed driving & after what they experienced when he let Yeong drive was traumatizing. For god sake he is still very Young to die. He didn't even have his first kiss.
