"jimin will you let ahra sleep in your room tonight?" asked his mother, mrs.park.
"okay mom," he said, "come on ahra," he then showed the girl to his room as his parents made a phone call to the police.
"here are clothes for you after you shower," jimin told ahra as he handed her his clothes.
"but these are yours," ahra said, "and they are for boys, im a girl."
jimin took her hand and put his clothes in them, "do you want to sleep in the same dirty clothes?"
ahra shook her head.
"you shower first. i'll wait. there are towels in there."
"how old are you?" she asked jimin.
"7, why?"
"me too," she said and walked into the bathroom.
for a 7 year old he sure sounded like an adult, thought ahra as she knowingly started the water.
once they both showered jimin took ahra downstairs for dinner.
"ahra," said mrs.park, "we called the police letting them know who you are and what happened to you. they said they'll look for you parents. they also were okay with you staying with us for the time being. is that okay?"
the girl nodded. mrs.park smiled, "ok dinner's ready."
"jimin tell your brother to come downstairs too."
"okay," jimin said and left the table to retrieve his younger brother. once they arrived jimin's mom introduced ahra to him.
"ahra, this is jimin's younger brother, jihyun, he's five." ahra gave a small, shy smile to him.
"jihyun, this is ahra, she will be staying with us for a while." jihyun nodded quietly as he looked at ahra with admiration.
