park residence

Daichi wasn't dazed by all the houses in the neighbourhood since he used to live in one similar to the building of the ones on the street before he moved to Osaka for school.

He headed straight for the house number he was given by his teacher and carried on walking reasonably fast before realising he still hadn't prepared what to say.

Luckily thanks to Seokmin, he knew that it was probably going to be Mrs Park who answered the door but that didn't help Daichi since he still didn't know how to talk to her.

The fact he was told to run away also didn't help with the anxiety which was quickly building in him.

Before he even knew it he was at the gate of the house pressing onto the buzzer which caused him to freeze in realisation.

It wasn't long after a cold, feminine voice answered

"Hello?"

Daichi looked down at the file in his hand quickly before asking

"H-hello I was wondering if this is the Park residence?"

The voice through the speaker softened slightly as it replied

"This is."

Waiting for Daichi to then speak.

Daichi timidly said

"Um Hi, sorry to interrupt anything but my teacher, Mrs Hui, sent me with some work for a Mr Park Itsuki since she was unable. to come and bring it herself..."

playing with the file in his hands nervously

He heard a soft chuckle through the speakers and a beep before a soft

"Come through."

Was heard Causing Daichi to follow the instruction.

He cautiously walked up to the door and was about to knock on it when it already opened and an elderly woman stepped outside, pulling the door too behind her.

"Hello dearie, I'm sorry you had to come out here to drop off my Itsuki's work but we both appreciate it."

The woman said with a warm smile on her face.

Daichi handed the papers over and bowed slightly saying

"It's no problem."

He could've turned away then and just left but something compelled him not to.

He looked up at the woman again and said

"I'm not sure if Mrs Hui normally helps out with the work but if Itsuki needs any help I wouldn't mind helping out since I haven't seen him in class, and I know how stressful the work gets."

The elderly woman raised her hand and swished Daichi's cheek lightly causing him to chuckle before she complimented

"You are such a polite young man, thank you for the offer but Itsuki should be fine since he's a bright young man. I'm sure like you. But thank you anyways, dear."

Daichi nodded and bowed again before pulling out some paper from his pocket and writing his number down on it and handing it to the woman.

Daichi handed it over then bowed saying

"Just in case here's my number. Now I should be going before it gets too late. I hope you both have a nice day."

Before scurrying away.

He had no clue why he just did anything he did but he did it and now there was nothing more that he wanted than to be at home in his big comfy bed.
