“. . .”

“Do you need something Rok Soo?”

“. . .”

“. . .?”

“Miss”

“Yes?”

“You’re very pretty.”

“Oh?! W-why thank you!”

“Good Job little human!”

It has been two days ever since Cale was turned into his past younger self. The adults have still yet to find the solution to helping Kim Rok Soo overcome his past, so the children would play around with him and train him to self-defend and stand up for himself. Although it fails, there are times when Rok Soo would give out his opinion. Like that one time, he told Ron that he disliked his lemon very much; sadly, that did not stop Ron from giving him lemon tea, but at least he made it a little bit sweeter. 

“Come on Kim Rok Soo, we need to practice more nya!”

“R-right.”

The kids grabbed Rok Soo and ran across the villa, walking to the black castle, where everyone was gathering to find out more about this curse. Upon entering the castle, Lock was on his way to meet up with his younger siblings.

“Hi Lock!!”

“Good Afternoon, are you going to talk with Eruhaben?”

“Yeah and the others nya!”

“G-Good Afternoon Mr.Lock. . .I really like your hair.”

“Thank you, Rok Soo!”

Lock blushed a bit after receiving the compliment.

“Are you going back to Harris village?”

“Yup, I promised that I was going to hang out with my siblings today. Hey, why don’t you guys come on over after your talks? The kids miss you guys.”

“That’s right! We should go noona!! Rok Soo can make more friends with other kids!!”

“I dunno, we have to ask permission first.”

“Well, just let me know if you do come by! Bye!”

“Cya Lock!”

“Tell them that we miss them too!!”

“Byeee!!”

The children giggled a bit before going back to looking for the golden dragon. Rok Soo would follow them from behind, but after a while, the children would push him to the front or at least beside them. He was still in his small shell and needed a push out of there. They wanted him to feel comfortable as much as possible, hoping that it’ll help a bit with him overcoming his inner weak self. 

As the doors open widely, the children enter the room seeing Eruhaben, Choi Han, Ron, Cage, and Sheritt.

“Goldie Gamps! Mom!”

“Good afternoon everyone!”

“Nya!”

“Hi there kids! No long time no see- woah.”

Cage walks up to Rok Soo in shock, as she crouches down to his view she notices him awkwardly staring back while fidgeting his fingers around.

“You must be Kim Rok Soo, right?”

He simply just nodded while staring at her nervously. She just smiles at him brightly all while cursing the god of death in her mind.

“My name is Cage, It’s nice meeting you Kim Rok Soo”
