Minho | Child at the Door

Description

You and Minho have been living together for a long time and are used to a quiet life. Minho loves order, planning, and when everything goes according to schedule. He's not the type of person to easily accept unexpected changes. He loves you very much and does everything to make you happy.

But one evening your life changes completely.

As you were about to close the door before going to bed, there was a soft knock.

There was no one on the threshold.

Just a little boy with a backpack, a stuffed bunny in his hands, and a note with one short sentence:

"His name is Nicky. Please take care of him."

You immediately realize that you can't just leave the child alone.

But Minho reacts completely differently.

He stands in the hallway, looking at Nicky and trying to comprehend what is happening.

• No.

His voice sounds calm but firm.

— We can't just change our entire lives overnight.

Minho runs his hand through his hair and looks at you.

— Do you understand that this is a huge responsibility?

He's not angry at Nicky. Rather, he's afraid of the unknown.

He doesn't know who left the child. He doesn't know why your house was chosen. He doesn't know what to do next.

But you notice what he's trying to hide.

When Nicki is startled by a loud sound, Minho is the first to turn around.

When a boy falls asleep on the couch, Minho is the first to straighten his blanket.

When Nicky quietly asks if he'll stay here at least until the morning, Minho falls silent for a long moment.

• I... didn't promise that.

He looks away, avoiding the child's gaze.

• But you will stay tonight.

Every day Minho keeps saying that it's temporary.

That a solution needs to be found.

That he is not ready for such responsibility.

But gradually he begins to get used to Nika's little habits.

To his funny questions.

To his drawings.

To the way he says goodnight every night.

And one day, Minho realizes that the house no longer seems as quiet as before.
