"I'm sorry."
"Alright, stop apologizing already. The reason I argued with that woman was something else. swear to the god."
Hana kept apologizing to Leo, showing an intelligence beyond her age. She thought the reason Leo had argued with the police officer was because she had said earlier she wanted to stay with him.
When Leo saw Hana bow her head and cry without saying anything, he was forced to make up a lie.
"Why don't you believe me? It really has nothing to do with you. Look, I'm staying in a huge room. You're welcome to stay with me as long as you'd like. In fact, it would be better for you to stay with me until the police find your mom."
"I don't believe you. If you didn't argue with that big sister because of me, then why did you yell at her?"
Seeing that the question he had expected had finally come, Leo immediately put forward the excuse he had prepared.
"Because that woman looks like a kind-hearted police big sister, but she is actually a bad woman. While you were sleeping at the police station, she came up to me and said things like You're very handsome, will you be my boyfriend. And you know I'm only nineteen, but she's already in her thirties. Don't you think she's a bad woman?"
"Bad woman."
"Bitch woman!"
"Don't use bad words!"
"Okay."
After playing with Hana for a while, Leo asked her the question he had been afraid of.
Hana immediately scolded Leo, saying with fake anger that she was five years old and could go to the toilet by herself.
In the following hours, since there was nothing else to do, Leo found an anime he wanted to watch and invited Hana to watch it together, telling her it was a cartoon.
At first, Hana seemed interested, but as the action scenes increased, her attention started to drift.
So after covering Hana with a blanket, Leo left the anime playing and went to the bathroom alone.
When he came back, Snowy had also found a spot next to Hana and fallen asleep.
As expected from a room that costs five million won per night, the single bed in the room was large enough to easily meet the needs of a group of five people.
After capturing the cuteness-overloaded scene with his phone, Leo washed his old clothes in the state-of-the-art washing machine in the room.
Since he was wearing only a towel, Leo was afraid Hana might wake up, so he handled everything while constantly walking on his tiptoes.
Fortunately, the state-of-the-art technology showed its worth, and within half an hour, Leo put his washed and dried clothes back on and took his place on the bed.
As for Hana taking a bath, that task had already been added to Mrs Saem's to-do list.
After that, the night passed quite peacefully.
Until just before dawn, when Leo was enjoying his sleep with half of his body hanging off the bed, he felt someone pulling his arm.
When Leo opened his eyes, he saw Hana looking at him with a teary expression.
After recalling what had happened yesterday, the question of why Hana was standing on her head came to his mind.
A few seconds later, Leo wiped the drool running from his mouth to his nose, climbed back onto the bed, stuffed the blanket between his legs as if nothing had happened, and fell asleep again.
Seeing this, Hana looked even closer to crying, but this time there was also a hint of embarrassment and anger in her expression. She openly stared at Leo's back and pinched his lean but soft skin.
Feeling the pain, Leo lazily asked what was going on.
"Oppa, when I flushed the toilet, water splashed on me."
When Leo looked at Hana again in surprise, he saw that her face was wet. Thinking that Hana had probably pressed the wrong button, he made fun of her without caring about her age.
When Hana actually started crying, Leo came to his senses, apologized to her, and went to clean the toilet.
After the stages of waking up, washing their faces, and having an open buffet breakfast, Leo took Hana and went to the landlady, Mrs Saem's house.
When they arrived, he saw that Mrs Saem had almost finished clearing out the shop. Only a few hours of work remained.
After that, Leo left her alone and decided to use the time to buy furniture.
During the conversation with Mrs Saem, it was decided that Hana would share the room for a while since she was Leo's sister. Even though Leo wanted to object, he had no choice but to accept, knowing that the main hall had heating problems and that Mrs Saem's room was tiny compared to his.
This time, Leo left Snowy with Mrs Saem. Mrs Saem had experience taking care of cats in the past, which meant another new duty had fallen on her.
Leo got into a taxi with Hana and asked the driver to take them to a good furniture store.
Leo and Hana had a great time, lying down on every piece of furniture they planned to buy and testing how soft it was like two little kids.
During this time, Hana laughed happily as if she had completely forgotten everything that had happened yesterday. Leo had given her the right to choose many of the furniture pieces.
Like every girl, shopping functioned as a soul-healing ritual for Hana as well.
At that moment, the ugly side of humanity showed itself once again.
The employees who watched Leo and Hana jumping on furniture worth millions and buying sets according to Hana's wishes only smiled and allowed them to do whatever they wanted.
If an ordinary nineteen-year-old boy and another little girl had behaved like this, the staff would have kicked them out long ago. After all, no employee expected Leo to buy all of these things.
Most of the employees saw a K-pop level handsome older brother entertaining his little sister when they looked at him.
By the end of the hour-long shopping trip, even a living space had been prepared for Snowy. It was time to buy beds for Leo and Hana.
Knowing that Hana would not stay with him forever, Leo tried to persuade her to buy a large bed like the one from last night, but Hana firmly refused.
"Last night you threw me off the bed three times. I'm not sleeping with you again."
In the end, thinking he would return it later, Leo bought a strawberry-patterned children's bed for Hana and an extremely fluffy adult bed for himself.
