Chapter Six

Silence.

And Minzy feels like throwing herself out of the car because the atmosphere between her and Kris is killing her. They are now driving towards the orphanage, and all Minzy can think is 'this plan should work'. She is dying to end all of this already. The issue between Kris and his father is sucking the life out of her. At the same time, if staring or glancing could kill, Minzy should be buried 6feet under the ground already.

"You have the picture right? Give that to me once we are in the orphanage already." Kris said with a frightening tone and Minzy manage to let out thumbs up.

She glanced down on her bagpack, she gulped as she can imagine the glorious photo placed neatly in an envelope. If there is one thing in the world that she could treasure the most, that could be the photo. For everything will be decided with the help of that thing.

Kris pulled on the small space of parking lot in front of the orphanage, Minzy immediately went outside of the car and breathe in heavily.

While walking towards inside, she can see that Kris is indeed happy whenever they will go in the orphanage. She smiled at the thought of the cold but sometimes (no, always) dumb Kris is such a sucker for kids.

"Leila!" Minzy called out as she saw a running little girl towards them.

She raised a brow when she seems to be just a thin air out of the girl's view because the little one has her eyes only for Kris who gladly catch her and swing her mid-air. She then just smiled and walked inside the play room, she felt her breath hitched when she spots Mr. Wu inside playing with a little boy whom she recognized as Timmy.

She bowed as soon as the old man saw her.

"He is outside, so uhm... I'll just call him in and hopefully this plan will work."

Mr Wu nodded. "Thank you Minsu, Thank you."

Minzy wanted to scream 'don't thank me yet, this might still end badly oh dear!'

And before she can turn around and call Kris she heard a scoff.

"What are you doing here?" Kris' voice is deeper now and Minzy knows that this could be her last day, she gulped before sharing a look with Kris' father.

"You really won't stop won't you?" Kris said, Minzy doesn't know if it meant for her or for the old man who seems to cut his tongue.

"Hyung! Is he your father?" The tension was not felt by the kids, and the little boy named Timmy who is clinging to Mr. Wu asked.

"No." Was his answer. Minzy frowned and for the moment, she felt punching the taller—not even minding if there is a presence of children.

"But he is tall also! And he said he is your appa! He even gave us foods!"

"Oppa is lucky to have a father." Leila suddenly said, she is holding Kris' hand.

Silence, the blonde man doesn't know what to say. He just wanted to run outside or smack the life out of Minsu for dragging him in this mess again.

"Son..."

Kris felt like throwing up.

"You want to talk? Sure, let's talk outside." He said coldly.

He bent down on Leila's level and smiled to her.

"Oppa will talk to the man first before we go color your new coloring book okay?" He said while patting the little girl's head.

Leila nodded, showing he eye smile. Minzy went beside the two and she took Leila's hand with hers before leading her to the sofa to play with the stuff toys.
