E-GO LOVE FOREVER {slow updates}

♟bye♟

      ❧ That afternoon, Hugo and his new little buddy were at the playground. ☙    

"Come climb with me Hoo-go!" His little buddy called.

"I'm too big for that," Hugo stated. "Look, it says ages 2-5. I'm 6."

The younger grinned. "It's only one year, come, Hoo-go!"

"You're 5?!" Hugo asked. He thought the boy would be only 3, seeing that he was so small.

"Uh-huh."

"Wow," Hugo breathed. Maybe he had a chance with his soulmate after all.

"Can we do this everyday?" he asked once they had played for a long time already.

At this, the boy's smile dropped, and his expression became unreadable.

"No."

"Why?" Hugo furrowed his brows. "Don't you like this?"

"I do. But I will grow up soon. And my eomma said when I grow up I have to take care of her."

Hugo bit his lip. "Won't you have any time left for me?"

"No."

Hugo looked down, sad. "How long until...?" he trailed off.

"Tomorrow."

"WHAT?!" Hugo yelled.

His little boy nodded solemnly. "Tomorrow, I will be 6. Tomorrow, I will start school. I will be busy. I will end my freedom."

"What school will you go to?" Hugo asked.

"Prosperous Academy."

Hugo's mouth dropped open. That was the most expensive school in the city. Hugo's family cannot afford to let him go to that school. There, it was the best learning environment for students from grades one to six, he had heard from his parents, and when student graduate from that school, they would have fixed spots to the best junior high schools and high schools in the region, as well as the best university and the best opportunities to study abroad and overseas.

"R-Really?" Hugo swallowed a lump in his throat.

His soulmate nodded. "I have to go now. Bye."

Hugo hoped he will see his little boy in the future.  

  ❧ Until then, he was going to work hard to go the that same junior high school. ☙
