Calming a crying girl is not Elston's area of expertise. He never did that. Even to his closest family. He's not an expert.

He himself was confused what to do. Usually, he never cares what others feel. More precisely, Elston didn't want to get involved.

But this time it looks like he has to do something for Mia. Butwhat? Hugged it? giving words of comfort? or I'd better just shut it up. It's really hard.

"Tell me what makes you cry like this? did someone hurt you?" Without thinking, it was Elston's turn to interrogate Mia. He did not know what to do, other than take the role of a master who suddenly felt annoyed because his time had been disturbed by someone.

"I can't believe you're crying just because you saw me cry. You know who I am, don't you?" Elston crossed his arms. They are now sitting on the same bench.

"I am the great Elston, so I cannot possibly cry. You just misunderstood. Your eyesight is also bad it turns out." Elston wanted to blur reality.

While Mia was still crying as she pleased.

Is the way wrong? why won't this girl stop too? or are my words less audible?

In the end, Elston held onto Mia's chin and made the girl's face look up. The eyes of both meet. Mia was really crying. But of course he knew that he was not the cause of the fall of the tears.

"Hey. Come on. tell me little girl. Why are you crying like this!" elston said repeating his words.

"Why are you crying yourself?" reply Mia missed Elston's statement before her. This girl! "Sad. When I cry. Obviously the one crying is you. You're not aware or what?" reply Elston releases Mia's chin then crosses her hand again.

Elston shy. Because his weak side was visible to someone.

Mia is still in her own mind. Did I see wrong? thought Mia. It was clear that he saw Elston crying. Why did this man say no? Is it just my imagination? But I sure saw it.

"Are you not crying?" mia repeated, questioning the new reality imposed on her. Elston nodded back. "No. You just saw it wrong." Elston still doesn't want to admit it.

"Then you? what's the reason you're crying?" Mia bent her sad face. He couldn't bear to not show how he felt at this moment.

"If I don't cry. I think I'm going crazy." said Mia clearing her slightly stuffy nose.

Elston turned back. He looked at Mia's face as if he was looking for something on the girl's face.

Long enough Elston was observing Mia's face. There's nothing else Elston wants to know. Because he was sure, both himself and Mia must have had difficulties faced by each.

And it would be unethical if Elston interfered too much. Although he also did not mind if Mia could lean on him. "See. Your face is really ugly right now. Ceps! You're really just a little girl." Elston rubbed Mia's cheek which felt wet.

There's nothing they can do anymore. Elston also often experienced the same thing as Mia felt. Sometimes, something happens not always the same as what we expect. And the best thing they could do was to be silent with the silence of the night.

Let the pain pass, and also let all the wounds pass along with the passing of the night..

...Thats all......

Mia and Elston were silent for about an hour. Until the atmosphere really sounded calm. Mia's heart now felt more relieved after releasing everything through crying.

"Geez!" Mia clucked in shock. His mind is back in his mind.

What did I do just now? You're really crazy Mia. The girl scolded herself. How could he do such a careless thing. Moreover he did so in front of his young master.

...Ah, goddamn....

Mia stole a glance at Elston. Again the man looked up at the sky. Whether Elston realized it or not. But Mia was really paying attention to herself at the moment.

"You calm down?" elston's voice broke the silence. Mia jerks. Unlike the previous, Elston's voice sounded softer and also soothing.

"Hem. I'm sorry the great Elston. I've made a mistake. I shouldn't cry like I did in front of you. I'm really sorry." Mia was really sorry for what she did in front of Elston. It could be that the man gave an ugly assessment at the end of his contract period later.

Elston chuckled, "You know it's wrong." muttered Elston. To be honest Elston actually felt a little comforted because of the existence of Mia.

The girl made her very dark night feel a little better.

Mia was silent. He realized that Owen's influence in him was greater than he imagined. Knowing this he would never violate the man's kindness to him.

Stupid jerk. I was thinking, doing embarrassing things!

Mia once again dissolved in her mind. Suddenly Elston lay on Mia's lap. Again Mia was surprised by the things Elston did.

The man didn't even look awkward. It just looks natural in doing everything. Is it because Elston is used to it?

"I'm sleepy. I want to take a nap." said Elston ignoring Mia's shock.

But Mia just let what Elston did. Even he didn't mind. In her little heart, Mia was absolutely certain that Elston was also going through the same thing as her. Even though the man tried to deny it.

Mutually entertain. Maybe that's what they're doing right now...

Mia patted slowly on Elston's shoulder and let the man get swept away..

"Sleep young master." said Mia softly, "I don't know what you're going through today. But for sure, I'm really grateful that I'm with you right now."

"Whatever you're going through. I hope tomorrow morning you can forget everything. Sleep on."

..."Thank you for not asking more about me... "...
