The Quiet Boy | Lee Seokmin

Chap. 4

【edited】(*☻-☻*)

Mr. Jeon's POV

"Okay, I'll inform Yeoreum about this. Don't worry Mrs Lee, I'm sure Yeoreum will agree about this." I smile to myself as Mrs Lee ended the call. 'Can't wait to tell Yeoreum about this.' I thought.

I feel sorry for Mrs Lee about her son who hasn't spoke a word for 3 months after Lee Jaeseok passed away. I sighed. Maybe Yeoreum can make him talk again. At least a word.

I looked at the clock which shows 1:25 p.m. And with that I know that Yeoreum's school time was already over. I wonder what her reaction will be

Yeoreum's POV

"Goodbye!" I bid a goodbye to my friends before stepping into my house. "Appa! I'm home!" I shouted and I could hear my dad's voice from the kitchen saying "Welcome back!"

"Go change and eat your lunch." He smiles as I obeyed. I took a quick shower and after that I wear my comfortable sweatshirt and put on my black joggerpants.

I walked downstairs and straight to the kitchen. I saw my dad and smile to him as he smile back.

"Not going to work?" I asked him as I started to eat my food. "Today is a day off." He simply answered. "What kind of day off on Friday?" I mumbled. "Oh appa, since tomorrow is Saturday, why don't we go out? It's been a long time since we had family time together." I smile excitedly. Hoping he will agree.

"Oh I would love too, honey. But tomorrow I have to go to work." My dad gave me an apologetic smile. "What? Appa~ work day supposed to be on Monday till Friday not on Saturday or Sunday." I pouted. Appa shrugged.

"Great tomorrow I'm going to stay home and do nothing." I rolled my eyes and my dad giggles as I looked at him. "Well you're not going to stay at home tomorrow." Appa chwed his food.

"What do you mean by 'you're not going to stay at home tomorrow'?"

"Do you know Mrs Lee? Uncle Jaeseok's wife?" Appa asked me and I nodded. "She called me this afternoon. She told me that she asked for your help. She said that she wanted you to take care of his son and if you can, she asked you to make his son talk again." My dad finished his sentences.

I looked at him with straight face. I really don't know how to react as he continued.

"Starting from tomorrow, you will stay at their house until you can make his son talk. As soon as her son is back like he used to be, you can go back to our home." My dad smile.

"What is his name?" I asked curiously because he seems so familiar to me. "His name is Lee Seokmin." My dad answered. Did I heard it right? Lee Seokmin? Jisoo's friend?

My eyes widen as my dad were a little bit shocked. "Y-you know him?" Appa lean in a little bit closer as if he were interesting with how I met Seokmin.

"Y-yes." I whispered.

"When?"

"Two days ago." I rubbed behind my neck. I didn't want to tell him about how I met him for the very first time. "At the mall when I was with my friends. We accidentally met Soyoung's brother and his friends. Then I saw him but he seems quiet so I asked one of Soyoung's brother's friends which named Jisoo and he told me everything about him. Well I didn't expected that he is Uncle Jaeseok's son." I took a sip from my lemon juice.

"So you already know about him?" I nodded. "Well it'll make it easier for Mrs Lee because she won't have to tell you everything." Appa smile and I smile back.

"Why don't you pack your clothes after lunch." My dad suggested. "Sure." I simply answered and brought my plate to the sink.
