"I should leave then..."
Little Min sits on top of her bed, both hands are cupping her chubby face as she keeps on pouting. "Mommy and Daddy don't love me anymore... Maybe because they think Rin is cuter than me. Or maybe because I'm chubbier than my sister... but... but my voice is better than Rin! However, Rin is way better speaker than me. I can't talk properly yet... even though I'm six years old already. Does Mommy and Daddy don't like me for that? Mommy's voice is great. She can sing many songs that I find it hard to say. Daddy knows how to sing fast... Oppa said it's called rapping. Oppa can rap too! They said, Rin can rap as well, that's why whenever Oppa and Rin are together, they like talking fast. What about me? I couldn't even pronounce Itch-Punch-Bob properly..."
Glancing once more on her notebook, the Little Girl sobs, "I should really leave then...but, if I go away..."
'Where will I live then?'
'Where will I eat?'
'Where will I take a bath?'
'Where will I sleep???'
'Who will take care of me??'
'How will I study?'
She started scribbling on her notebook once more, listing possible people who can 'adopt' her for the mean time. "Is it okay if I ask Uncle Ri? Will he take me and let me live in his A-Patt-Ment (Apartment)." She fishes out her phone, before dialing her Uncle's number. Unfortunately...
"Hello?" a female voice answers.
'Huh? Why my Uncle's voice sounds different? Is he sick?' "Uncle Ri?"
"Who is this??" It seems like the female voice becomes curious. "Who's Uncle Ri?"
'Omo! Maybe, Uncle is really sick! His voices changes and now... he doesn't recognize me??! Aigoo, I don't want to live in his house then, he might ask me to take care of him! I don't like! I don't like!' the girl panics. "Ah...Eh... Ah... Sorry, wrong number. I'm looking for Pizza House Delive-RI...Bye Bye!" and she hung up.
'Aigoo!' she crosses out her Uncle's name on the list. 'Uncle Ri really screams trouble.'
"Anyway, the next on the list is... Grandpa." She dials on her phone again, waiting for an answer.
*Ringgg... Ringgg...*
"Hello?" Granpa Lee answers the call, much to Min's relief.
"Grandpa!" she yelps, as if seeking for comfort.
"How's my Baby? Why did you call Grandpa?" the old man asks in enthusiasm.
"Grandpa... I want to evacuate our house. Is it fine to live in yours?" Min straightforwardly asks him, making the old man snorts harshly out of shock.
"MWO??! Why??"
".............." Little Min doesn't answer, instead, 'Should I tell Grandpa the truth? Nah! He might tell Mommy and Daddy... then they will ask me... then they will deny... then they will pity me and pretend that they still love me... then they will ignore me again... then I will plan to leave the house for the second time... then I will call Grandpa... then he will ask me why... then...'
