i walked around the neighborhood to get any information about what happened to my sister

"i dont know honestly, this country is nice and all but it's really dangerous"

"thank you sir"

"no problem, i wish you luck finding your sister"

"see you around" i told him

i walked to sidewalk and just walked a little

"hey! watch out" i heard someone shout

i turned around to look behind

"please move, i don't wanna hurt you!"

i see a kid who had brown hair, a brown cardigan with golden buttons and black converse shoes riding a bike coming toward me

the kid's bike crashed into me and newspapers flied in the air

"scheiße,"

"i'm sorry" i said

"it's alright, just gotta deliver the rest of these" he replied

"you need help picking those- um, what are they again?" i say

"huh?"

"sorry, im from korea, my english isn't good." i said

"oh, are you a tourist? oh and those are newspapers, your english is actually really good" he says

"thank you, what's a tourist?" i ask

"a person who travels" he replies

"no, i just moved here, but i dont have a house" i say

i grabbed the pieces of the newspapers

i gave him the newspapers

"thank you, would you like to live with me?" he asked

"huh?"

"not a question i usually ask strangers but you seem nice" he replies

"what about your parents?" i ask

he froze and then stared at me for a few seconds

"my dad got murdered and my mother got kidnapped" he says

"im sorry to hear that- wait a minute how old are you?" i say

"12" he replies back

"who takes care of you" i ask

"myself" he says

"how do you survive?" i ask

"it's normal for kids in tampenia without parents to live by themselves" he says

"oh ok" i say

"ok but would you possibly live with me" he asks

"alright" i answer

"i'll teach you about how things at tampenia work" he says

"ok" i reply

"sit at this bench till i come back i have to deliver these" he says

i then sat down
