"What are you doin up there? "

Sung Hoon eyes keep following the short girl's ponytail.

"Repairing my room's wall"

Sunghoon takes his eyes from her face when she suddenly looks at him.

There's a point where he wants to burst out laughing but he keeps looking away and tries to restrain himself.

"There's crazy mom and ancient soul fighting like they the only things exist in this place. They almost crushed the house and there's a hole in my room"

"Are you guys even human beings?"

Ayanna cleared her shirt. There's dust sticking everywhere.

"well, human or not… it's still a living thing isn't it?"

"It's easy to be heartless to survive."

"Huh?"

"So you are MIA for almost two month?"

Sunghoon surprised himself when he asked Ayanna. He believed that he didn't care about her, but his heart acts differently.

Ayanna tries to understand his words but he changes the 'topic'. She frowned but answered it regardless of her curiosity.

"Are you curious?"

Sunghoon cleared his throat and he found an excuse for his behaviour.

"Uncle who had a long trip for his business suddenly appeared in the house. He worked up and went saying… someone important has gone missing."

Sung Hoon looked at her eyes. He seems curious when he remembers how Mr.Duran acting like it's the end of the world when Ayanna was missing.

He wonders why women always make people around them suffer. Women were troublesome and always made men run wild for them.

"He went out and went in almost every hour, contacting people now and then. And that one is you. Who are you anyway? Are you that important?"

Ayanna tidied up her hair. Sung Hoon memories slowly remind him of a woman.

He loved 'that' woman to his bones.

The woman he swore to die for.

And 'that' woman shattered his long life dream.

She will sit across him like this, tying her hair into a ponytail and making him fall.

And he fell deeply into a pit hole that gave him the most pain in his life.

Ayanna looked adorable yet bold. She looked back at Sunghoon who suddenly looked at her with cold eyes.

Sunghoon lost in his deep thought.

"You remind me of something. When I was at the orphanage, there's this little guy who always get pissed"

"Something? It's not someone?"

"there's this small kitten that always bite me even Im the only one who gave him food"

"Even a cat can't get along with you huh?"

"But I continued to feed him until one day he started to sleep at my bed. The kids start to get along with him and he always get food from everyone"

Ayanna picks up the cat outside the main gate of the orphanage. The cat used to get beaten by humans that he hated people who tried to touch him.

But she keeps trying to sooth the small being, give him food. And once he accepts her, she bathes him and he becomes pretty. Everyone loves him.

After a month, the daughter of the head directors of the orphanage saw him and took him with her. Ayanna can't do anything to stop her because the cat was in a good hand.

"I just wonder, when you were on top of the world Is there anyone that you should be thankful for? Have you ever say 'thank you' to them?"

"Just mind your business."

He walked away but then he returned to face her.

Angry face.

"I worked really hard. I used every inch on my body. My hair to my nails. Have you ever been on a diet? Have you ever slept 2 hours for three days? Have you ever had to let people talk about you like they know everything about you?"

Ayanna let out a soft sigh, she spoke softly but firm.

"I'm an orphan. I have washed my own clothes since I was six. I am never on a diet because there is no way you can let yourself full if you have to share food with thirty people. I wish I could sleep even for two hours when its raining cuz, our rooftops always leaking and my bed will the one get wet"

Sunghoon glared, took a deep breath, he wanted to say more but Ayanna continued her words.

"You grow up fine for more than thirty years. Your mother raised you from the moment you in her belly. Don't destroy yourself for someone you love for a couple of years. Your family loves you for over thirty years''

Sunghoon narrowed his eyes, he turned to the door and the loud sound of a bumping door echoing.

The knob fell out.

"ah… need to change that. Zaden, come back if you settle your things. I need a hand here"

"handsome guys can also be jerks sometimes, the face just a bonus… but manner is the real fortune for human"

Ayanna continues eating the sweet mango while nodding to her own words.
