บท 499: Helping Out

"Where are you going?"

Eun-sun jerked to a halt at the sudden voice behind her. Her clammy hands tightened around her bag as she slowly turned around to see Mi-Cha peering at her as she trudged down the stairs.

"Why are you sneaking out of the house? And where are you off to?" She asked, lowering her eyes on Eun-sun's small handbag and sneakers as she arrived the base of the stairs.

She raised her gaze to Eun-sun, who was slightly frazzled.

"You're going out aren't you? Mom and Dad said—"

Eun-sun covered her mouth and pulled to hid under the stairs when she saw their father stepping out of his room.

Mi-Cha looked at her and followed her gaze to see their dad walking into his study while answering a call.

Eun-sun let go of her mouth and sighed. I'm sorry." She apologized, while Mi-Cha maintained her suspicious gaze on her.
