Jinhee was content at the sight of the boy finally eating and especially taking a liking to the popsicle, as it was gone almost immediately.
All there was left was a blue stained stick in his hands. His lips were a light-tinted blue.
She chuckles, finishing her own popsicle. "You're lucky that it was a five for two special when I was at the market."
Jinhee pats his back as his vision begins to blur.
New, fresh tears were forming and had begun falling onto his lap.
She slightly flinches, taken aback by the sight. Still, Jinhee gingerly but carefully wraps an arm around his shoulders, patting his left shoulder.
"It'll be alright, okay?" She consoles, knowing she was still unaware of what he could have been crying about.
Yet, simply forgetting that she was comforting some random stranger on a bench out in the open, as if he was an old friend of some sort.
She waits until his sniffing and tears had lessen as well as his heart calmed before asking him a question.
"Care to share what you're feeling, friend?"
