Until I Found Her

To Define Our Relationship

"Hey, Hualin-ssi, what is actually your relationship with Team Leader Kim Roksoo?"

"Hm!?"

Hualin freezed, almost dropping the scalpels and pinsets she just sterilized. She turned her head slowly to her conversation partner, with a confused frown on her forehead.

"What do you mean, Yeonhwa-ssi?"

"You know what I mean," Baek Yeonhwa said with a wave of her hand. "You two seems to be really close, when not even his team members are that close to him. I'm not sure you're just friends, but I don't think you guys are dating either."

"Hahaha..."

She's right. What an absolute headache.

They are in the middle of an apocalypse. It is true that the world is now are in much better condition, the society had began to build up their civilization. But should she really be thinking about the vague relationship she had with a man right now?

What Baek Yeonhwa guessed was correct. Mei Hualin and Kim Roksoo are indeed close. She know that their relationship now has evolved from a platonic one, they can't be define as 'just friends', but they're not dating either.

"So, are you guys an item or not?"

Hualin smiled awkwardly. "Ah, we're... Friends? I guess...? Haha..."

Friends.

They are definitely more than just friends.

Hualin and Roksoo always spend their spare times together. Roksoo would be the first one to try the foods Hualin made. Hualin would be the first one to know when Roksoo got injured, and she will be the one who treated him. They hold hands. They cuddles when Hualin asked him to watch movies together. They already slept together in the same bed a couple of times, holding each other in the cold of nights. But Kim Roksoo has never uttered a single word to label... Whatever it is that they have now.

But it's not like Hualin was bothered by it anyway. Their relationship may be a vague thing, but she know that Kim Roksoo wouldn't deny the connection they have. She know he is hers, and she is his. And he, know it as well. So it's not really a problem, is it?

"But I guess it would be really nice if what we have got a name on it."

Hualin muttered to herself.

"I'm Shalina Pravin."

Ron watched as the mysterious Young Lady in front of them introduced herself. The Young Lady that his puppy Young Master had been visiting for the past year without any of them realising. The owner of Mini Dreams Patisserie.

Ron has met her a couple of times while accompanying his Young Master to the Patisserie. How he didn't know that they have something going on was lost to him. Did his old age dulled his senses?

"And this little one here is Nathania. Nice to finally meet you, everyone."

She then gestured to the little girl in his Young Master's arms. A toddler with hair as green as the Young Lady's and eyes with the color just like the Young Master's, if not of a deeper shade. She's the perfect carbon copy of her mother, beside her eyes.

The Young Miss gave a little wave to the crowd, before she got a little shy and hid her face in the crook of Young Master's neck. Saint Jack and Miss Rosalyn instantly coos with that cute gesture. And Ron can see that everyone softens seeing the Young Miss.

"Greenie and little Greenie are finally here!"

"Hello, hello!"

"Nice to meet you, nya!"
