Fifteen Meters Tall

Ryu didn't hesitate. He felt a keen sense of trust in Ailsa.

In his lifetime, he had only had a few friends. Among them, the only ones he considered friend outside of his immediate family circle were Nuri and Elena. It was a sad reality, but in Ryu's mind, his best friends were his parents and grandparents, this was how close they were.

If others knew of Ryu's mindset, maybe they wouldn't know whether they should laugh or cry. After all, what youth considered their parents friends? They would love them and respect them, but friendship? It sounded a bit odd.

Still, this was Ryu's reality.

However, Ryu couldn't help but warm up to Ailsa. Although he went out of his way to not read her thoughts, sometimes some of her emotions would breakthrough to him. One such instant was in the moment before she spoke just now.
