Chapter 213: Stuck

June walked inside Grandma's and Minjun's apartment, looking a bit dazed after the ice cream man's compliment. 

His smile actually brightened someone's day? 

June tried recreating the smile just now but failed despite numerous attempts. A while ago, the smile came naturally to him when he tasted the sweet ice cream. Right after it was over, he tasted the bitterness of life again—one that he couldn't escape no matter how hard he tried. 

June was exaggerating, but you get the point. 

"Oh, goodie," Grandma exclaimed when she saw June enter the door. "I'm glad you came here. I was about to eat dinner by myself." 

"All by yourself?" June asked. "Is the little devil not here?" 

Grandma shook her head in amusement. "You call Minjun a little devil, but I know you like the kid." 

June shrugged. "Well, where is the cute little devil?" 

"He's out and about," Grandma responded.
