When I got back to the library, I found Min-Cheol sleeping.
Ah, he couldn't wait for me and ended up sleeping. Well, more cake for me then.
I sat down and had his head rest on my thigh while stroking his hair. He looked so peaceful.
The only time he slept right next to me, I couldn't watch him sleep because of how awkward the situation had turned out to be, and the next morning, he was gone by the time I woke up.
But now, I could watch him clearly.
It was such a shame this child had to pass through what he passed through. He grew up quicker than his peers and was forced to become an adult when he was still a kid.
That was probably why he was clinging on to me like a kid even when he was 24 years old. And that's also why I put up with him.
"Alright, sleep now. You need to work tomorrow. Don't give your employees a hard time." I said and then I noticed a little box next to my leg. "Huh? When did this get here?"
