Jennifer Kim's

The first day of staying at the place felt normal for Ruby, no special things or strange events.

"Today we're going to the orphanage" Thomas said, drinking his milk.

"Well, we'll just follow what you say because only you know about this place" Ruby replied.

While Felix is busy alone with his phone as he is informing Key that his condition and Ruby are fine.

"I'll take a shower first" Ruby got out of her chair and went to the bathroom. Now there's only Felix and Thomas left at the dinner table.

"What's wrong? You don't like the food?" ask Thomas.

"Ah, that's not it. I'm just not having an appetite" Felix replied without looking at Thomas.

"wait. You sick?" Thomas realizes there's something strange about Felix.

"Silent. If Ruby hears that she's going to be very chatty and won't let me go" Felix now speaks while looking at Thomas.

"So you're really sick? Rest," tell Thomas.

"No. I mean I'm afraid Ruby thinks I'm sick when my condition is fine. Don't worry about me, I'm like this every morning" Felix focused on his phone.

"It's up to you. Finish your meal," Thomas goes back to eating.

They walked towards an orphanage with some cloth bags with clothes and food inside. Later, the clothes and food they bring will be donated to the orphanage.

"First we'll donate all the stuff we carry" Thomas said.

"I didn't know you had this much stuff ready. Why didn't you tell us?" ask Ruby.

"I just found out this morning. I'll tell you later. Let's hurry," Thomas looked impatient.

Ruby and Felix follow Thomas, who begins to enter the orphanage's courtyard. A woman sitting in the garden near the orphanage came to them.

"Good afternoon. Can I help you?" ask the woman.

"We want to donate clothes and some food" Thomas replied.

"Then, come in. I happen to be the caretaker of this orphanage" she let Thomas, Ruby, and Felix into the orphanage. From the front door were children playing happily.

"Jeez, Ruby, what's on your back?" Felix picked up a paper that seemed to be blown off and stuck to Ruby's back without her noticing.

"I'm going to throw it away" Felix said as he walked out carrying the paper.

"I'll introduce myself. I'm Thomas, and this is my friend Ruby. And that's Felix," Thomas introduced himself and his friends.

"My name is Jennifer Kim" she added.

"I was only 2 years old as a nanny here, after I finished my education in Korea" he added.

"Your age isn't so far adrift with us, is it?" Ruby asked.

"That's possible. Do I still look young? ask Ruby.

The children at play start to get closer to where Ruby, Felix, and Thomas are silent.

"Kids, introduce. They are kind-hearted people who contribute to all of us" Jennifer said.

"Thank you, brother," said the boys compactly.

They then play together, while Thomas chats with Jennifer.

"So before you came here, who was guarding this place?" ask Thomas.

"He's an old man. Now it has stopped because his son does not allow him to work anymore even though the man likes children very much. Mr. Clinton, cheerful old man," Jennifer replied.

"You're alone here?" ask Thomas back.

"I'm with my aunt. She's gone from yesterday and is likely to be back later in the afternoon or later in the evening" Jennifer responded to every question Thomas asked.

"Can we come back here tomorrow? Maybe to help you look after these kids? Actually, we came here by accident, heard there was an orphanage, so we decided to donate" Thomas said.

"of course. I'd be very happy if you and your friends would come here often" Jennifer looked happy. Thomas thought he was lonely in that place. Although many children, but no friends share complaints there.

"Can I join?" Ruby joins them, while now Thomas and Felix play with the kids.

"I love seeing you" Jennifer said.

"Hahaha, why?" Ruby tried to get along.

"You're a confident woman, looking smart. I like women like you in my circle" Jennifer replied.

"You look smart, too, Jen," Ruby praised Jennifer, who has been praising her ever since.

"Do you want to take me around? Why is it so wide here, I like this place," Ruby said.

"of course. Let's go around," Jennifer wakes up followed by Ruby. Meanwhile, Thomas and Felix do their respective jobs.

"Zoe, do you like this snack?" thomas asked while taking out a caramel chocolate snack from his pocket.

"Woohooo! My favorite snack" Zoe, a curly short-haired girl, snatched the snack from Thomas's hand.
