Time seemed to have stopped for Cale. Two familiar voices could be heard.
'Choi Han, Alberu.'
These were the thoughts filling Cale's head. He was asking himself, Why are they here? Again? It's always them. Hah. What did they have to give this time? A shout of his name snapped him out.
"Cale-nim! / Cale. "
"... Choi Han, Alberu."
Both of the men that were unknown to all but Cale spoke up and walked to Cale. Choi Han hugged Cale and Alberu was standing at Cale's side.
"Cale-nim…."
"Ha… there, there. It's ok…"
Cale patted Choi Han on the back. He knew how much of a baby Choi Han was. Even if Choi Han was several years older than him, he was still a child mentally.
Alberu watched with envy as Choi Han hugged Cale and could only think of how fast Choi Han was to change in front of Cale.
'Truly vicious.'
"Dongsaeng."
Alberu decided to call out to Cale as he pats his head.
"Oh, hyung-nim-"
"Hey! Who are you to hug Cale-nim?! And you! You blondie, don't pat Cale-nim's head like that! Not with your filthy hands!"
……..
There was a moment of silence before Alberu and Choi Han shouted at the same time.
"What?! Cale/Cale-nim! Who is this kid?!"
'Vicious.'
Was all Cale could think about. Cale looked down to see Choi Han's pouting face and turned to his side to see Alberu rubbing his head. And, finally, he turned to Kim Namwoon to see him with a dejected puppy face.
'Omg… what's with these people?'
"First, Namwoon-ah, these two are my friends."
Cale pointed toward Alberu and Choi Han while he said that, then, he pointed towards Kim Namwoon.
"Second, this is my student. And, housemate. So, Namwoon, meet Alberu and Choi Han. Alberu, Choi Han, meet Kim Namwoon. Done."
………
There was silence before Alberu spoke.
"Nice to meet you, Kim Namwoon."
"Mhm…"
Alberu smiled his princely smile. Kim Namwoon made an odd expression while he shook Alberu's outstretched hand and that's how their meeting ended. Choi Han didn't greet Kim Namwoon until the very end and neither did Kim Namwoon.
"Excuse me, I don't mean to ruin this reunion… but, we have to get off."
Kim Dokja stepped up. He had a smile that was similar to Alberu's. If Raon was here, and Cale had that smile, he would have said, 'Are we going to scam someone again?'.
"He's right, let's get off."
"Ok."
Kim Dokja handed Lee Gilyoung to Lee Hyunsung.
"Lee Hyunsung-ssi. Carry the child on your back."
"I understand."
All of them were out now. Cale sighed in relief.
Good, we're out now. Now, we just need to run like our lives depends on it, which is true.
Cale whispered to Choi Han and Alberu to run and told them he'll tell more about it later. In the midst of telling them, a voice could be heard and a fluffy being which looked to be angry could be seen.
