It was afternoon, Nabi still at the Nishimuras' house. She introduced herself to Ni-Ki, he didn't do the same though. He was shy and nervous which Nabi noticed, but it was understandable since it was his first time meeting her.

Ni-Ki knew that a caretaker was coming over, in fact he's had many before. But not one would stay even for a day due to "reasons" they say. And he always thought he was the reason for them leaving, which is why he was always nervous when a new one comes over.

Ni-Ki stood up from the couch and approached the caregiver, holding out his charcoal iphone to Nabi, confusing her.

" Why are you giving me this? " Nabi asked him politely, confused at the boy's action.

" Riri not awowed to hwave phone when..when lidol spacee " He said as he pointed at the box that was on a shelf. Nabi gladly understood and put his phone in a box that had a note to only get it when he's big again.

Nabi wanted to know about the boy more so she went to him, who was laying down on the carpet in the living room, fiddling with his fingers. She sat on the floor near him, while
Ni-Ki noticed her presence and crawled over to lay his head on her lap. He was very comfortable.

" So...why is Riri not allowed to have his phone when little? " she started a conversation and he was willing to chatter.

" Riri bwoke phone and mommy hwave to pway a wot to fwix it " he said pouting making the girl chuckle on how cute he was. She understood the "phone in the box" rule.

Ni-Ki grabbed Nabi's hand that was on her side and placed it on top of his head. She didn't know what the younger wanted. He was moving around, telling her to stroke and play with his hair. She gave what he wanted since he just kept whining and whining.

She ruffled his hair, tangling her fingers through his soft locks. The young boy's eyes started closing and started drifting off to slumber. But after a few minutes, the boy started feeling uncomfortable in his position and got up to sit on her lap, resting his head on the crook of Nabi's neck.

Nabi had to do something though, so she lightly tapped the boy to get on her back, which he did not hesitate to do. She assumed he liked being carried. Luckily, the boy was really light, it wasn't her first time as she would playfully carry Jake on her back when Jay runs after him.

She went to his bedroom and put him down as he fixed his self to be in a more comfortable position, including hugging a stuffed toy.

Nabi went to get her laptop from her bag and started doing her school work, as she was still a senior high student.

It was noon, 1pm, and yet the two has not eaten their afternoon meal. Nabi went to heat up food that Ms Nishimura provided before she left. The boy was already awake a few minutes ago as he started getting hungry.

" Ni-Ki the food is ready~! " she yelled across the room, alerting the boy to stand up and head to the dining area. " Thank you Noona " he gave her a warm smile and started eating well.
Nabi also started eating with him.

Ni-Ki then accidentally tipped his glass over, spilling the content that was previously inside. But Nabi handled it calmy and laughed it off, while Riki on the other hand, his heart was beating rapidly as he was nervous, thinking he would be yelled at.

Nabi went to grab a cloth as the boy picked up his glass, placing it right-side-up to avoid more of the beverage spilling.

She started wiping the content on the wooden polished table. But when she picked up Ni-Ki's glass to wipe the water underneath it, the young boy immediately put his arms in front of him, blocking himself, confusing the caretaker.
