“Do you all of you don't know how to eat properly? Aigoo.”

The two youngest giggle as Eruhaben wipes the mess on their faces. While the rest in the dining room were. . .quiet. No one knew how to start a conversation with a little kid that is upset with them. How are they supposed to explain to him that he needs to go inside the mirror that tried to snatch him before? How are they supposed to say to a kid that he’s an adult that saved their world from a villain but was cursed into this little kid? Hm.

“. . .”

Kim Rok Soo, on the other hand, was watching the children and Rosalyn who was sitting next to him, then towards the others who were avoiding his stare; (misunderstanding time~) he felt hurt that they must really want him to return to his home. They don’t want him anymore.

“Hm? What’s wrong Rok Soo?”

As Rosalyn questioned Rok Soo, everyone immediately turned toward them. Rok Soo places his spoon down and shakes his head looking down. 

“I’m full.”

It’s a lie. The day Rok Soo appeared, he would never complain about the food and would even ask for a third plate. But today, he barely ate half of his first plate. Ron looked at the kid seriously, seeing this, Rok Soo flinched and looked away.

“A kid should eat three meals a day”

“Nya! That’s right!”

“Human would always say we should eat, sleep and play to stay healthy and strong!”

“. . .”

“Are you still feeling ill?”

Rok Soo shakes his head once more and peeks at the butler. Fidgeting his fingers with his shirt he looks down and mumbles something.

“. . s. . . .”

“Hm?”

“What did you say, little human?”

“I-I’m sorry. . .”

“Nya we’ll forgive you if you finish your meal”

He shakes his head and looks at Choi Han and the others. They looked flinched and stared back at the kid.

“I’m sorry for the way I acted. . .I-I shouldn’t have um. . .run away from you all. You all acted nice to me but I was too greedy. . .”

“Rok So-”

“I did nothing to return the favor but I-instead acted rude to you all. I-I’ll go back home. A-and I won’t bother you all a-anymore.”

He looks down to avoid the looks everyone was giving.

“It’s the least thing I can do. . .”

A fork was placed down and Alberu looks at the kid guilty. Choi Han cleaned himself before opening his mouth, Rok Soo took a peak.

“Rok Soo, we should have told you this from the beginning but we didn’t want things to get worse, but it already did. You see. . .”

Seeing that Choi Han stopped and bit a lip, Erahaben continued his sentence.
