34 FAMILY (2/2)
”You never had someone to talk about it?”
”Once.” Ethan. ”But we're not close now.”
”Hmmm. Are you okay now? What do you want to do?”
I wiped my face with my hands and saw his shirt. ”Oh Minho. I'm sorry. Your shirt's all wet.”
”That's okay. But, Cass. Life has been so hard on you during your childhood.”
”Yeah. But I guess, I have accepted it. It's just that, I get lonely when I see families enjoying their time with each other. I never had thay much experience of a happy family.”
”Then, celebrate Christmas with me. I'll make it warm, and happy and fun! I'll be your family! We'll be a family to each other.”
”Well, I guess I will. Will it be alright with you?”
”Of course. If it's to make you happy.”
I smiled. ”Minho.”
He looked at me seriously. ”What is it?”
”Nothing.” And I hugged him. ”So, where are we going for Christmas?”
”I have a rest house in a mountain near here. Are you up for hiking?”
I looked at him, gleaming. ”Yes yes yes! Are we going now?”
Minho laughed. ”Not yet. I still have something to take care of at the company. On the 20th we will go.”
I bounced on the couch. ”Minho, I'm so excited. Whoo whoo!”
He ruffled my hair. ”Are you hungry?”
”We just ate Minho. Do you want me to get fat?”
”I feel I want to eat fries.”
”Eh, Minho. I have them on the fridge. Will you cook them?”
”Hahaha. I know you can't say no to food.”
