It has been a couple of days since i could walk on my own, Thankfully i won't need a Wheelchair anymore , i can still get tired easily and i can't use 100% of my physical Strength , but otherwise i am fine going everywhere , i still go to rehab Once a weak. All i need to do right now is just Excerice in a moderate Level , and over time i will get better.

[ The user Strength got back to where It was in the most Optimal way after the Accident, but the User is still weaker than Normal 9 year old Kids ]
[ For Stamina, it will Take longer for the User to get it back to The Optimal before the Accident, but after that, it should get Higher Easier, This is due to the After effect of the Coma.]

[ because the User is now 9 Year old his Stats got adjusted to be compared to normal 9 years old kids, that's why it got reduced]
hmm it is still a fast recovery comparing it to normal means , so i should be content with this already. And even if the stats got lower, that means i just have to work harder.
As i was Thinking about what the system just said, i went to the Balcony to have my Night time of just relaxing and playing the Guitar, Luna came running after me and laid down on the Cushion that is on the Wooden pallets in the Balcony. i went near Luna and laid near her and start looking at the stars and the Full moon , because of the Full moon , i could see my Surrounding better than before.
I Noticed at the corner of my Eyes a small girl that was looking at me through the Window of her Room, She was one of the most Beautiful girls that i have ever seen, She had a short hair and dark Grey eyes. I got mesmerized by her and just kept staring at her. it was like Time got frozen. and nothing did exist in the world beside us.
[ Picture of The girl ]
After a couple of minutes of us just looking at Each other , i decided to break the Silence first .
" annyeong " ( it mean hallo, i imagined it something like this gif )
[ Ji-eun POV ]
It has been a couple of months since The Neighbors Couple Brought a kid to live with them, From what i heard when i asked my mom about it, is that he is Their Nephew and he started to live with them because of some Accident.
And after seeing him on a Wheelchair , i don't think it was a small one. My mom told me to try to befriend him, but i am afraid of friending him.
Heck i am afraid to befriend anyone in the First place, and i don't have any friends to begin with.
After my Drunken Dad stole away all the money that mom saved and ran away from me and my mom when i was 6 years old , because of that event, i was scared to get close to people, and it didn't help that we moved to another place soon after .
After my mom Divorced my Dad because he didn't even show up in Court and got my custody. We Moved to my late Grandparents place.
My mom is an Office lady and because she need to provide for both of us, she barely is home and sometimes she even sleep in the office bed. So most of the time i am alone and eat by ordering food.
I like to spend most of my time looking outside my Window looking at the Night of the city, i felt it was peaceful and it took my mind off my loneliness.
It was there when i first saw him, he had soft black hair and Beautiful Sky blue eyes. he always looked so lonely. i wish i was brave enough to say hi to him.
After a couple of months of me just looking at him through the window. i somehow knew that today would be different somehow, and deep down i wished it would be different .
Today he was carrying his Guitar with him, i saw him with it a couple of times but i never heard him play it. i guess he just love to hold it with him everywhere. After he laid down on the Pallets , somehow our eyes met.
At that moment my eyes skipped a beat, i don't know if was because he had such a warm eyes or because i though he will think of me as a creep.
The longer our Eye contact met the more i got lost in his eyes. Then i heard him Say "annyeong"
[ Cheon-sa POV ]
" annyeong " i said to the Beautiful girl. She seems to blush as she heard me talk. i saw her try to close the curtains. " wait please don't close them ..... i am sorry if i was starring at you ."
She stopped for a couple of seconds and it looked like she took a deep breath then turned around to look at me again. " it's fine i am sorry for looking at your Balcony " She said shyly
" No it's fine i don't mind by the way my name is Cheon-sa i am 9 year old, nice to meet you" i said as i gave her a small smile to make her relax as it seems it worked because she replied to me " my name is Lee Ji-eun and i am 11 year old " she said and just started at me Awkwardly.
" would you like to join me on the Balcony here? seen as our houses are almost connect by the Balcony" i asked her. seeing her fidget i quickly continue, "of course if you want to, there is no pressure" . she calms a little after hearing that. i just kept looking at her trying to make a decision. It looked like there was a War going inside of her head trying to make a choice by the many expressions her face was going through . i won't lie she looked adorable.
After a couple of seconds she her face gave a small smile as if she got a result of the war "Mhm ok, but only for a short while okay" she said.
" Okay wait a moment let me get the small Ladder to help you get down" i said as i went to the side of the Balcony to get the ladder and moved it under her Window. " be careful okay" i said as i saw her get on the ladder to get down .
As soon as she got down, Luna walked toward her and started to rub her head on her legs. " this is Luna my cat, i hope you like her because she doesn't like when there are people near her." i said as i saw her squat down to scratch luna head, and seeing Luna melt in her touch i continued " it seems like Luna really like you already. even my Uncle haven't been able to pat her yet" i also squated down and just smiled looking at them. They looked so peaceful.
" she is very soft" whispered Ji-eun in a barely hearable voice. After playing with the cat for a couple of minutes of patting the cat Ji-eun looked away from the cat and stared at me. i won't lie she really have beautiful eyes i can just keep staring on them. it's like i was addicted looking at themfor some reason.
After staring at each other for a while, i sat up and gave her my hand to help her get up. " lets sit on the Pallets, its more comfortable there" i said as we kept holding hands even after we sat and start looking at the Night City view.
" so tell me Ji-eun , what do you like to do when you don't have any chores, " i asked her. it took her a while to answer me "hmmm i like to look at the city and listen to music." she said shyly. it look like she really is shy.
"Mhm i am the same as you, i love to look at the city from here, it is one of my favorite way for me to spend the night. And every one like music Ji-eun hehe , you have to tell me something else, like playing with your friends , or reading books" i teased her a little bit. But apparently that got her a little sad as she dropped her head a little " i don't have any friends" she whispered.
I removed my eyes from the city and took a look at her and said " it's fine Ji-eun , to be honest with you i also don't have any friends . so we both have that in common" as if understanding what i said Luna meowed like she disagreed with me. " hahahah of course i am sorry Luna you are my first friend how could i forget that" i laughed a little at Luna antic.
seeing our playful behavior Ji-eun giggled a little bit. then got in a peaceful silence as we just kept looking at the city. it seem she forgot we where still holding hands, and After a while i saw her taking a glimpse at my guitar who leaned on the Pallets .
" Do you know how to play the Guitar ?" i asked her , she just shaken her head for an answer. " Do you want to listen to me playing it, to be honest i wanted to play with it for a while but i couldn't because i didn't want to annoy the Neighbor , but seeing as you are here i think i can play it right, unless your parent room is also in this side of the house."
" no my mom is at work , she is barely home." she answered me Eagerly as she shook her head fast. i hummed as i took the guitar and start to Adjust it a little bit , i closed my eyes and started to play it and started to humm.
♫ hmm hmm hmm ♫
what i didn't see was Ji-eun expression , if my eyes were open i would seen the awestruck look she was giving me.
♫ hm hmm hm ♫
i really didn't play any song , just play the strings a little bit and hummed to its rhyme.
♫ hm hmm hm ♫
after finishing the short song. i sat up and gave her a bow in a very dramatic way.
seeing me like this she giggle. " thank you for playing for me , you looked really cool" she said
" thank you" i replied to her. and sat next to her to continue looking at the city.
Then she stood up and looked at me "umm it is getting late , i need to go now " she mumbled to me and started to go back to her window to enter her home.
" Let's meet tomorrow at the same time if you don't have anything okay, because we now are friends you can't say no without a reason" i said in a somehow loud voice so she could hear me. i don't know if i did that to me or for her, but what i know is even though she is silent most of the times, it is fun hanging with her.
" Okay" she Replied as she give me a huge Smile.

so another chapter done with 2k words , i won't lie writing became easier for me now for some reason but still trying to show what each person is thinking or doing is kinda tuff i guess, i hope i expressed the emotions in a decent way at least.
