Seconds passed.
Then suddenly, she giggled and jumped at him, hugging him tight.
"Did I scare you, big brother?" she laughed.
Seojun blinked, caught off guard. Her smile was as sweet and cheerful as ever.
Ahye hugged Seojun tight one more time, then quickly ran over to Huno and grabbed his furry face with her little hands.
"Did I scare you too, Huno?" she giggled, squishing his cheeks. "Hehehe, I'm sorry, Big Brother."
Huno blinked, ears twitching, still confused.
Ahye skipped back to her seat and sat down like nothing happened. She picked up her toy teacup and took a pretend sip, her face all innocent again.
"But…" she said, swinging her legs under the table. "Before I tell you anything, we have to make a deal!"
Seojun raised an eyebrow. "A deal?"
Ahye nodded seriously, holding out her pinky. "You promised you'll tell me your secrets too, remember? So I'll tell you mine, but you have to tell me yours later!"
