Little Aunt Jia

"Why are you screaming, Shin?" Jangjun exclaimed as he entered his son's room.

In the middle of the narrow room measuring 3x2 meters, Ryushin cried. He stared at the shard of clay from his piggy bank.

"Papa, it looks like a thief came in. I lost all my savings for traveling after junior high school graduation. How about this, Papa? What should I do?" Ryushin asked amidst his sobs.

Jangjun stepped out, walked closer to his only son. Jangjun gently rubbed Ryushin's head.

"Calm down, Shin! It's just a couple of bills of two thousand and five thousand. Why are you crying for it like that, Son?" said Jangjun, softly. He tried to comfort her son.

"But, Papa. I saved my hard-earned money from one year ago. I wanted to take my friend with that money on a trip, after the graduation ceremony. Now, the money is gone. I'm really sad, Papa," said Ryushin.

"If it's just traveling, Papa can invite you and your friends later. So, now let the money go away, My Son." Jangjun spoke so softly.

"I can't give it up yet, Papa. I have to hold back from not eating out at school just for the sake of that savings. I hope the thief's hand is broken because he took my precious money." Ryushin's eyes turned red. Apart from crying, it was also because he was angry.

Without Ryushin noticing, Jangjun was rubbing his hand. Jangjun shuddered at the curse of his own son.

Ryushin noticed his father's strange movements. Ryushin frowned. Ryushin guessed that his father knew something about Ryushin's missing savings.

After being silent for a while, Ryushin came up with an idea to lure his father into talking. Ryushin showed his cry again.

"Huweee, Papa. I'm still so sad. What should I do, Papa?" Ryushin's cry sounded so heartbreaking.

Jangjun tried to calm his son back down. Jangjun rubbed Ryushin's back gently.

"Take it easy, My Son. Money is not everything in this world. Don't be sad anymore! Papa is always beside you even though we both have no money at all right now," said Jangjun.

"I put fifty thousand and one hundred thousand bills in my pig-shaped bank account too, Papa. How could the thief not leave us any money?" Ryushin spoke softly in the midst of his tears.

"It can't be that, Shin. Your only savings are two thousand bills." Jangjun interrupted. Without Jangjun realizing it, his son actually tricked him into confessing.

Ryushin glanced sharply at his papa. So, it was certain that it was his papa who had destroyed Ryushin's pig-shaped savings.

"So, papa who has stolen Shin's money?" Ryushin asked, angry.

Jangjun didn't answer. He prefers to leave from in front of his son right now. Running away was the only way to deal with his son's anger.

"Papa! Give me back my money!" shouted Ryushin, frustrated.

Jangjun didn't answer in the slightest.

"Papa, give me back! Otherwise, Ryushin will report papa to Aunt Jia!" Ryushin threatened.

***

14 years ago.

Jangjun stared in amazement at the movable lump of flesh. Jangjun never knew that the lump weighing 1.4 kg could have life and breathe even though it was in the aquarium, Jangjun called it.

What is the name of that box made of glass, Jangjun doesn't know. What is clear, the place is like an aquarium in his house, the difference is that this is not given water.

There are only small holes that don't know what their function is. Jangjun doesn't bother with all the strange equipment in this hospital.

Despite all this, Jangjun had just witnessed God's miracle. God can do anything, even make that lump of flesh as big as a kitten still breathe.

God is truly all-powerful.

"Jun! What are you doing?"

A voice so shocked Jangjun that it almost fell on the aquarium in front of Jangjun.

Jangjun turned around. You can see that Jia, her older sister, has just entered this room wearing sterile clothes complete with masks.

Jia walked closer to Jangjun who was more familiarly called 'Jun' usually.

It's been a month or so, Jia had to go back and forth to the hospital, for the sake of the lump of meat her little brother mentioned earlier. At the very least, Jia will take over looking after the baby while waiting for her younger brother to mature enough to serve as a father.

Well, Jangjun is indeed just a teenager who is still far from the adult phase. This all happened because of Jangjun's own carelessness. An accident that for Jangjun was just trying, now Jangjun has to reap what Jangjun has planted.

Jia stared closely at her little brother. Jia doesn't know what kind of brain his little brother is, so Jangjun is still relaxed in the face of all the shocking facts lately.

"Sister Jia, why are you here?" asked Jangjun with an innocent face that always annoyed Jia.

"Stupid! You can't go on like this, Jun! You have to live your life like your friends," for a moment Jia faced up to hold back tears, "hash, forget it! Now go to school! I'll just keep your baby at home. Here."

Jangjun smiled curtly. Jangjun feels that his older sister's treatment has changed well recently.

"Then, sister Jia is not in school?" said Jangjun.

"I've decided to home school from today. So, don't think about me or your baby!" Jia pointed to the baby in the incubator, "Focus on learning and act as if nothing happened. Because Jangjun shouldn't have to endure this all by himself."

Although he didn't fully understand what his older sister meant, Jangjun nodded obediently.

Indeed, what can be expected from a 15 year old teenager who has been thinking only about games?

***

When he came home from school, unlike usual who always spent time at the game center, Jangjun preferred to go directly to the hospital.

"Jun! Playing games until evening again, come on!" invite Lucca, Jangjun's classmate.

"No, thanks, Lucca. There are people waiting for me to come home sooner now," said Jangsun as he left Lucca.

From then on, the spoiled and childish Jangjun changed a little. Jangjun felt that he had to endure all that Jangjun had done.

Despite all this, Jangjun didn't blame anyone. Jangjun is able to take care of his own son. It doesn't matter if even the father doesn't want the baby.

Jangjun was willing to leave everything. Leaving luxury, leaving love from family, only to live with his only son, Kim Ryushin.
