Making it back home and my uncle on the couch next to a sleepy GooHi.

"Ah back so soon. Did you get yourself something to eat?" HoYa asks he sits up at the sight of me walking in to the living room.

"Nae. But is it okay if I keep the change for another day?" I aka outing the box of beer on the coffee table.

"Of course. I left you a present or three on your bed. I hope you like them. I'll be going now. I'll be seeing you soon." He stands and hugs me. "It's best if you hurry to your room now and open the box. I made sure I tired him out before you came. You have maybe ten minutes to get it done. You use one of the gift to let me know you are done. Now hurry." He kisses my forehead, as he whispers to me what to do.

He walks away and I rush up stairs to my room. To find a quiet big box with a note in the side.

My dear JuMin. I'm sorry for not being able to have you live with me and have you go through this pain. But what can I do? All I can do is help you. And that's is what I'm going to do. Here is a lock and a key. I left you a screw driver and a knife please hurry and put the knew door nob on the door. Keep the key close with you and always lock the door before you sleep. I also thought it was time for you to have your first phone. Don't worry about the bill, I'll pay for everything. Please stay safe my sweet niece. Now hurry. By time you have read this you only have Five minutes left. Call me when you are done I'll explain.
Uncle HoYa

I quickly open the box to see the door nob and everything does he has promised in the note.

Taking out the nob and rushing to the door. Unscrewing the old nob and replacing it with the new one.

I close the door once I'm done and lock it.

Resting on my bed.

I'm glad to know he cares for me. I almost forgot what it felt like to be loved, just even thought of, and cared about.
