My Cold Prince's
24

Minjoo takes the initiative to go to Junho's house after hearing from his homeroom teacher that Junho has not gone to school due to illness.

Arriving at Junho's house.

"Excuse me..." Minjoo said as he pressed the doorbell of Junho's house.

There was no confirmation from the owner of the house and Minjoo still had not opened the door.

"Excuse me.. " Minjoo said as he pressed Junho's doorbell once more.

"Yes. A minute!!" Shouted someone from inside. It sounded like the voice of Junho's mother.

Eunsoo, Junho-'s mother opens the door for him.

"People late in the afternoon, aunt." Minjoo.

"Oh, Minjoo?"

Ensoo clucked, suddenly delighted. He immediately grabbed Minjoo's shoulder and invited Minjoo to enter his house.

"Aunties. I'm here to look at Junho.  He said Junho was sick?" Minjoo asked, after a few seconds sitting in the living room chair.

Eunsoo nodded.

"really. Junho's sick. Sick of a fever, because yesterday came home from school raining." Her speech.

"Oh? So Junho has a fever?" Minjoo was surprised to hear that.

"So Junho was sick from it?." Inner Minjoo.

Minjoo felt that Junho might not have a fever if he had not delivered him home in the rain. In addition, Junho was only wearing a thin-clad uniform at that time, because Junho's jacket was deliberately given to him.

"Sorry Aunt. It's Minjoo's fault. Junho became sick from Minjoo."

Minjoo.

Eunsoo blinked confused.

"Can't it be because of you?" Ask.

Minjoo looked up at Eunsoo, then took the backpack off her back, pulled out something and gave it to Eunsoo.

"This is Junho's jacket, Auntie. So Junho drove me home yesterday with the rain and his jacket was given to me. Because it's Junho-"

Eunsoo is seen smiling widely, then laughing when she hears Minjoo's explanation.

"Eh? Why does Aunt smile? Is Aunt not angry?" Ask Minjoo, astonished.

"I'm not angry at all. I'm just happy." Eunsoo.

Minjoo blinked his eyes a few times. Looks confused.

"Aunty is happy because of what? Auntie happy because Junho's sick?" Asked Minjoo who sounded doubtful.

"No, no." Sela Eunsoo quickly. He's rebuffing.

"That's not what I mean."

"Then?"

"You know, Junho's been a bitch all along. Apathetically. No matter around. But he was just intentionally helping you?. That's progress. Junho's attitude again looks like a normal human being thanks to you."

"Oh yes Aunt. Before I came here, I stopped by the fruit shop. I bought some fruit. There's apples, oranges, grapes." Minjoo. He gave a plastic bag containing the fruits he brought to Eunsoo.

"Ah.. Thank ye. But you shouldn't bother!"

Eunsoo receives a bag of plastic fruits given by Minjoo.

"Tante, can I meet Junho?"

"Could only. But it looks like Junho's still sleeping.."

"It's okay Auntie. I just want to see him for a minute." Timpal Minjoo's.

Eunsoo then leads Minjoo to Junho's room, then Eunsoo leaves.

Minjoo stepped slowly to enter Junho's room which was then unlocked.

Minjoo approaches Junho's bed. He saw Junho sleeping curled up. His face was pale and slightly sweaty. He fell asleep after taking the medicine.

Minjoo justifies Junho's blanket. He covered Junho's body with a blanket, up to the neck and leaving only a visible head.

In his view every corner of Junho's room looked empty. There's hardly anything. There are only bookshelves, beds and desk chairs for studying. On the walls there was almost no decoration whatsoever. There was only a wall clock and a figura containing a photo of the Junho family.

Minjoo looked at a figura containing a photo of Junho's family there. But he felt strange after seeing it. Because he did not see any Eunsoo who he knew as his mother Junho, and also Hyunho who he knew as his younger brother Junho. Minjoo saw a number of people he did not know in the photo.

Minjoo did not want to linger in Junho's room for not wanting to disturb his sleep.

Minjoo immediately exited Junho's room and headed back to the living room because Eunsoo was already waiting for him there.

"You're back? How about just a second?" Tanya Eunsoo who was busy knitting scarves at the time.

"Yes Aunt. Junho's sleeping and I don't want to disturb him."

Minjoo sits next to Eunsoo. She looked at Eunsoo through the tail of her eyes while biting her lower lip. He was eager to ask Eunsoo something, but he tried to think about it first.

"What's wrong? You seem to want to say something to me?" Eunsoo asked who seemed to be able to read Minjoo's mind.

Minjoo was flabbergasted and became nervous.

"Bb-bo can I ask aunty something?" Ask Minjoo, somewhat doubtful.

"certainly could. Just ask!" Eunsoo replied, quickly.

Eunsoo laid down on the table, a new knitted scarf halfway through her work.

"What do you want to ask?" He asked as he looked into Minjoo's eyes.

"So I went to Junho's room and I saw a photo-"

Minjoo's words paused. But as if knowing what Minjoo meant, Eunsoo immediately opened her voice.

"Yes. It's a Junho family photo."

"But-"

Minjoo's words again paused. Minjoo did not dare to talk about it any further and chose to remain silent there, pursing his lips.
