"Your smile"

THE DAY at the restaurant had passed by too quickly, lately days had been passing by in the blink of an eye, when Thea least expected it she was already lying down on her soft bed ready to go to the world of dreams and although her insomnia got the best her, she managed to sleep for at least two hours every night.

She was so tired and anyone could tell that, since she was yawning every second she could and the dark circles under her eyes didn't help much either.

Thea was cleaning one of the now empty tables, struggling to keep her eyes open as the last customers left the restaurant.

"Gosh. Mun, that poor thing" Ms. Chu said looking at the boy outside the restaurant "One day, he'll find out that his parents were murdered. How is he going to live with that?" Thea sighed as she watched the black-haired boy hurriedly sweeping the restaurant's entrance

"Shouldn't we tell him?" Thea exclaimed, feeling a little bad for hiding something like that from someone who was already part of the family

"Don't be so rash. Mo-tak said he'll look into it. Let's tell him after we find something" Ms. Chu proposed "After we find the murderer. That's when. Let's tell him then. Okay?"

"You told me not to" Mo-tak reminded her

"Yes, you're right. We can't. No, we can't" She shook her head in frustration "Goodness, it's such a dilemma" Thea nodded her head in agreement

Or that was until her eyes landed on the boy outside the restaurant, her eyes widening as she realized what the boy was doing, Mun was playing with the territory as if it was a normal thing to do. Thea gasped in surprise, thus drawing the attention of the black-haired girl next to her who looked just like her when she moved her eyes outside the window.

"You can't do it, Mo-tak. Forget what's right. This is a matter of keeping order. It's about the boundaries and order of afterlife and death" Ms. Chu tried to reason with him

"Right or wrong, order or not, I wouldn't care if this were your business. Even more so if it were Hana's or Thea's" Mo-tak explained taking the plates from the wooden table beside him

"Hey, why do you make me seem so cheap?" Ms. Chu complained, throwing the yellow cloth onto the table

"You only say we're family" He said before walking towards another table to pick up the plates on it, but his eyes immediately fell on the boy outside the restaurant "What's he doing? How is he doing that?"
