The room was filled with an awkward silence. Everyone present stared at the little boy laying in the center of the bed.

The cute little boy with a body that didn't correspond to his age also stared back at them with his slightly big adorable black eyes. They looked like the night sky with many stars sparkling in them.

The little boy who was Kim Dokja pursed his lips and tried to sit up against the head of the bed in haste. Maybe it was because his body was weak or injured but he seemed clumsy while doing it.

His face revealed many emotions....like nervousness and....fear?

"......"

Now they were worried. They have never seen Kim Dokja behave like this....well other than Han Sooyoung and Yoo Sangah who were the most calm in the room since they know most of his life when he was a child.

Seeing the annoying squid like this they now had to be careful of how to approach him without scaring him.

"Unnie, what should we do? Ajusshi seems to be scared and wary of us."

Shin Yoosung asked Han Sooyoung softly so as to not startle Kim Dokja.

Hearing her question Han Sooyoung slowly closed her eyes for a few seconds and eventually let out a sigh. She then turned to Yoo Sangah.

"You go and talk to him."

She said without hesitation. Even though she knew and cared a lot about Kim Dokja, she wasn't exactly a gentle person when it came to handling kids.

So she let Yoo Sangah handle this since she was one of the two most gentle and patient people in the group.

Yoo Sangah knew what she was thinking and did what she said without saying anything.

Yoo Sangah, calmly and casually walked towards the side of the bed.

Seeing her approaching him. He became a little scared and quickly put some distance between them by shifting a bit more to the right side of the bed. Kim Dokja had his back against the head of the bed and also hugged his legs. Putting as much distance between as possible.

Yoo Sangah paused for a moment before continuing. It made her heart hurt seeing Kim Dokja like this so she atleast sat on the left side while considering his feelings.

After that she looked into his eyes with a calm and gentle expression and said

"Hello, Kim Dokja."

"....!"

Kim Dokja looked slightly surprised at the fact that she knew his name but didn't know her and he has never seen her before.

Mini Kim Dokja's POV:

I felt something soft beneath me. It smelled nice and felt so comfortable. Unlike the rough bed at my aunt's house in the attick or the cold floor that i had to sleep on after getting scolded for absolutely nothing.

'It feels so amazing. I don't ever want to wake up. I don't want to see my stupid relatives. But I should just face reality and deal with it.'

'Come to think of it....there must be new chapters released of that new novel I searched up. To top everything off I still have to go to school.'

"Let's....about that later. We've already figured out what happened....deal with the situation....now."

'Eh? What's that voice....whose voice is it?'

"Right, Han Sooyoung?"

'There it is again. It sounds like a women's voice and it sounds so soft and gentle. It's definitely not my aunt's voice. Wait...who is Han Sooyoung?'

'C-come to think of it this doesn't feel like the attick. H-have I been kidnapped or did my relatives sell me?!'

'N-no let's calm down first. I'll pretend to be asleep to get more information.'

Kim Dokja slowly adjusted his position hoping that the people present wouldn't notice.

"O-of course we-"

"Mmmh!"

"....."

Silence filled the room to the point that you could even hear a pin drop.

Kim Dokja was sweating bullets. Praying to god that they didn't hear him. But judging by the silence that seemed to last forever....they definitely heard him.

He could feel their stares threatening to burn holes through his body and face.

' Oh man! If my body wasn't so beaten up I wouldn't have showed signs that I was awake! S-should I open my eyes?? Yeah, maybe they won't hurt me...come on Kim Dokja be a man and open your eyes! Th-that's right!' I am Yoo Joonghyuk!'

With that thought in mind. Kim Dokja hesitantly opened his eyes with whatever courage he had.

His vision was blurry but, became clearer within a few seconds. He laid his eyes upon the strangers present in the room which were five in total.

Seconds that felt like minutes went by and one of them spoke. It was the girl who appeared to be the same age as him but older.

Kim Dokja couldn't make out what she was saying since she was whispering to the women who was much older than her. He then saw her turn to the a women that was taller than her and heard her say...

"You go and talk to him."

The women did exactly what she said and made her way towards him.

He was panicing inside. Afraid that she was going to hurt him so he quickly tried to sit up and put distance between them even though his body was in pain.

He stared at her as she calmly sat down on the bed with a gentle expression on her face.
No one other than his mother had shown and treated him with such an expression.

He then heard her say with a warn smile...

"Hello, Kim Dokja."

"....!"

'H-how does she know my name?? Was I really sold by my relatives?'

Many questions were swimming in his mind making him more afraid but he still asked with a shaky voice.

"W-who are you a-and how d-do you know my name?"

To be continued....
