"What happened, Ji?" Johnny questioned, sporting a sorrowful expression as he laid down the half-asleep goddess on his bed in a measured delicacy.

"I-"

"You?" He continued, leaning back on the doorframe as he observed her perform several pirouettes on herself, and a feeble smile immediately crept on his face.

Nostalgia engulfed him as he remembered five years old Ji-Ae rolling on his bed, loud chuckles escaping her tiny mouth as he and Jaehyun exaggeratedly cheered for her.

She was still a child.

"Apparently, my dear mother is a freaking goddess." She scoffed, bringing her arm to her forehead in a naïve attempt to shield herself from looking more pathetic than she already did.

"So Jaehyun finally told you about Aphrodite." Johnny nodded. "I see."

"Aphrodite?" Ji-Ae stood up faster than she ever did before, legs somewhat trembling upon processing the brand new piece of information she just heard.

"Perhaps I said too much." The man grimaced, averting his gaze from her in outright panic, it only nourishing Ji-Ae's suspicions even more.

She sat back down on the bed, her hands drawing strange forms on the silky ultramarine bedsheets, the ones she and Jaehyun got Johnny for his previous birthday.

A pawky smile espoused her lips, and she emitted many giggles, surprising the man standing beside her.

"What's wrong, Ji-Ae?" Johnny hurried his way to the young goddess, kneeling down as he hesitantly grabbed both of her hands, alarmed, "You can tell me anything, you know?"

"I'm alright," she smiled in response.

"Kinda tired, though. Can we talk tomorrow?" She added, feigning a yawn.

"Of course, Ji."
