I followed the stretching exercises diligently.

After I finished stretching, I ran to the wall and leaned against it.

A faint solid line drawn above the head.

It was a sign to check how much Amy and Shine had grown without telling them.

He lifted the pen, pressed it lightly over his head, then turned his body to check.

But the dot is stamped in a similar location to yesterday.

Isn’t it? Has it gotten a little bigger?

“Jeff what are you doing?”

Then Shine came over and I asked.

Panicked, I stretched out my hand and covered the wall.

“It’s nothing.”

I shifted my gaze to look at Amy.

She still had her phone up and pointed at us.

“Aren’t you doing any more today?”

“Yes. I said it’s good to do it consistently every day.”

After answering Amy’s question, I grabbed Shine’s hand and pulled her away from the wall.

“Do you do this every day?”

“Yeah.”

Shine frowned, as if she didn’t really like it.

“But you have to do it to grow taller.”

“I don’t think it’s of much help.”

Shine raised her hand and placed it on her head, saying:

It seemed like he was unhappy that he wasn’t growing taller right away.

I agreed with what she said.

As I nodded, Shine said.

“I want to watch the news.”

Shine ran straight over and sat down in front of the television.

Finally, I was left alone and approached the large teddy bear, Baekshi.

He wore a witch’s hat pulled down low and greeted me with his big, sparkling eyes.

“Hello Baekshi.”

Baek-shi was speechless.

“Do you think I’m a little tall?”

Baek-shi still didn’t say anything.

I don’t like sparkling eyes.

I reached out and pressed Baek-shi’s forehead.

The forehead of the white sheep that goes in softly.

Baek-shi soon falls backwards.

Playing with dolls alone was only fun for the first day or two.

It means it’s so boring now.

I moved the hat from Baek-shi’s head to my head.

“Amy.”

“Huh?”

“What kind of person is Rain?”

I often walked up to Amy and asked her.

She was sitting at the table, and she lifted my body and sat me down next to her.

“Rain?”

“Yes.”

“Um… . A noisy person?”

I nodded, recalling Rain’s appearance.

It seemed like I could hear Rain’s voice whistling in my ear.

“What is Rain’s ability?”

“It can rain from the sky.”

“Rain?”

“Yeah, it’s pouring down a ton.”

I reached out to Amy and picked up a small piece of paper and a pen.

The purpose was to draw the image of Rain that came to mind.

“Like this?”

In the graffiti, Rain’s appearance was that of a little girl wearing a large raincoat.

She was smiling wickedly, reaching out her hands to the sky to summon rain.

“No, a little more.”

I drew a bit more rain on Amy’s words.

It was as if a hole had opened in the sky and water was pouring down.

“Like this?”

“More.”

“More… ?”

“Yeah.”

Amy nodded.

But there was a problem.

Didn’t she clearly say that Rain’s ability was to make rain fall from the sky?

If I had drawn more rain as Amy said, it would have seemed like the space itself would have been submerged in water.

“Isn’t this rain?”

“In his own words, it’s a fly.”

Amy nodded and said.

I was afraid to imagine what Rain was capable of.

I pushed away the paper with the doodles and lay down on the desk.

Her soft cheeks stretch out and rub against the desk.

“Um… .”

“Are you bored?”

“Yes.”

I answered, shaking my leg.

I was so bored I couldn’t stand it.

In fact, asking about Rain was also a kind of signal to Amy.

I’m interested in Lane, so let’s go to her.

That was the signal.

But Amy doesn’t seem to notice my signal, just smiles and picks up her phone.

I look up at her with my cheeks puffed out.

“Jeff.”

“Yes.”

“Are you interested in Rain?”

“Uh… . Yes.”

I answered, avoiding eye contact.

To be honest, I felt a bit embarrassed to say this.

“Why?”

“Uh… .”

I lifted my fingers and started counting the reasons why I was interested in her.

“Because Shine and I are similar heights?”

“And?”

“And… .”

One by one, the fingers grow longer.

“But I can’t go now.”

“Huh? Are you going?”

“Weren’t you going to tell Rain to go?”

“No.”

I turned my head.

The gaze suddenly turns, and the direction of the cheek that was resting on the table changes.

The other cheek is crushed.

“Let’s go next time. Rain just got back and is busy.”

“Are you very busy?”

“Yeah, I have to meet Jindo.”

“Are you working under Raindo Jin?”

“Yeah, of course. Everyone here works under Jin.”

I remember Jin’s face.

Evil sandwich thief.

baddie.

Stupid guy.

A guy with smelly feet.

It wasn’t a good perception.

And it wasn’t very reliable.

As I looked up at her with a subtle expression, Amy stroked my head with a bitter smile.

“Why do you work under him?”

“Because I have the ability.”

“Did it look ugly?”

“I see it that way too.”

“Then why does Amy work under Jin?”

“He saved me.”

“You saved me?”

Amy stroked my head silently.

I shut my mouth as she answered with a smile, as if she didn’t want to say anything more.

My curiosity about the relationship between Amy and Gene only deepened.

“Victor too?”

“No, Victor just agrees with Jin’s thoughts.”

“What is Jin’s thought?”

“Yeah.”

“What is that?”

“Freedom of all capable people.”

“Freedom… .”

I stopped kicking back and forth.

I couldn’t forget the sight of countless test subjects passing before my eyes.

“Isn’t that good?”

“Good, good intentions. But… .”

She got up from her seat, trailing off.

“I need to go out for a bit?”

She spoke while looking at her cell phone.

So there was a reason I was fiddling with my phone all this time.

It seemed like something had happened.

“Have a nice trip.”

I waved goodbye to Amy as she left the room.

After confirming that Amy was completely out of the way, I headed straight to the kitchen shelf.

The myriad of coffee mixes in there were my targets.

Move slowly, with your heels raised, so as not to make a sound.

There are only two people in this room right now, Shine and me.

There was no problem, as Shine was currently focused on the news.

I pulled up a high chair and stood on it, grabbing a handful of coffee mix.

After safely securing the coffee mix, I ran straight to Baek-shi.

I turned Baek-shi over, who was lying on his stomach, and unzipped the zipper on his back.

A zipper that goes all the way down.

A heart-shaped machine can be seen between them.

I pushed Baekshi’s heart aside and crumpled up the coffee mix.

“Jeff what are you doing?”

“Gasp… .”

I hurriedly hid Baek-shi’s body behind my back.

Is it because I couldn’t fill the zipper?

The coffee mix bags scattered everywhere with a clattering sound.

“What is that?”

“This…?”

“Is that what Amy always drinks?”

Shine jumped down from her chair with an expression of interest on her face.

I moved quickly, picked up the coffee mix, and pressed it firmly onto Baekshi’s back.

“Uh… . Baekshi said he wanted to drink… .”

I watched Shine’s expression while sweating profusely.

Shine, who came closer, picked up the coffee mix that had fallen at her feet and opened her mouth.

“I want to try it too.”

“But… Amy told me not to drink it.”

“Jeff drank, right?”

“Me…? When did I?”

“No, I’m going to drink it.”

Shine shook her head and corrected her words.

“Are you going to get a massage?”

“Then is it okay to tell Amy about this?”

Shine came closer and pressed Baekshi’s back.

I can hear the rustling sound of coffee mix.

“Oops… .”

In the end, I had no choice but to prepare coffee for Shine and me.

Shine was sitting at the table, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Amy pours the coffee mix into the rabbit-printed cup she brought.

A faint smile spreads across my face at the faint scent wafting through my body.

Pour hot water into the cup immediately.

The faint scent becomes stronger.

When I poured hot water, the printed rabbit changed its appearance.

The ears that were drooping up are now standing up stiffly.

I really liked that cute look.

I approached the table holding a rabbit cup in both hands.

“You have to drink quickly before Amy comes.”

Shine and I sat down next to each other and started blowing on our coffee.

Hot air rises in wisps.

“Hoo- Hoo-”

Shine’s gaze doesn’t move, as if she’s completely focused on the coffee.

I also blow on my coffee and put it on my lips.

“It’s delicious.”

Shine seemed to like coffee.

She glared at me with sparkling eyes.

“If you drink it every day, you’ll get it.”

Shine didn’t answer.

“Amy’s going to scold you!”

This time, Shine didn’t answer.

In the end, Shine drank another cup of coffee.

“Why did Amy tell me not to eat this delicious thing?”

“If you can’t sleep at night.”

“At night?”

“Yeah.”

Shine looks at me with a strange expression.

And isn’t that a big smile?

That sight felt strangely erotic for some reason.

I take the empty coffee cup into the bathroom and wash it.

A cup that has been cleaned thoroughly.

After shaking off the moisture, return it to its original location.

“Perfect.”

Just throw away the empty coffee mix bag when you go out for dinner later.

It was a really perfect plan.

“Jeff.”

“Yeah.”

“I told you that if you drink this, you won’t be able to sleep at night.”

“Yeah.”

“So what was Jeff going to do that night?”

“Uh… .”

I didn’t drink it with the intention of doing anything in particular.

I just drank it because I like coffee.

“I didn’t drink it to do anything in particular.”

“I see.”

Shine nodded and went to sit in front of the television.

I looked at her back and then went to sit in front of the computer.

The strange notebook that grows bigger every day makes me feel uneasy.

“Shine.”

“Yeah.”

“You didn’t use the computer, did you?”

“Yeah, I hate that.”

If not Shine and Amy, then who?

I deleted all the notepads that were piling up on my desktop.

It was much later that Amy returned.

I was sprawled out in bed when I heard the front door open.

“Amy?”

Shine, like me, got up from her seat and looked around the hallway.

Soon the door opens and Amy comes in.

With a yellow chick.

“Hi guys!”

It was rain.
