HUG ME: Love and Friendship
FRIED CHICKEN?

CHAPTER 24

In Thomas' office, uh,,

"Well, Chota is depressed because of the inheritance struggle between her brothers?" thomas asked after reading a follow-up episode in the comics written by Alfa One.

"Hmm, what do you think?"

"I didn't imagine it before. Parental inheritance can create a very important conflict like this."

"Well! You think that too, right? I'm sure, if Chota faces the madness of his brothers in the struggle for that inheritance, the reader will respond quickly."

"You're right. This is so cool. How could you have an idea like this?"

"Eitherway. Just flowed by."

TRACKS

"Well, I'll read it again later. You're hungry, no, how about you eat first?"

"If it's okay, it's okay" replied Drake.

"Em, look, the money you sold your book yesterday is still a lot. You're all right, the treat," Thomas grabbed Drake's right shoulder and coaxed him with a smile.

Drake turned his head and gave Thomas a contrived smile, "You also got a share of the proceeds from the sale of my book. Where's all your money? If you're hungry, just use that money to buy food."

"Ehehehe, yes, but the thing is, the money,,"

"Why? Don't tell me you used to buy your mortal combat weapon again?"

"Well..." Thomas moved his hand along with his index finger. "That's it, you're quick to respond, hehehe."

"Haiss, all right, I'll deal with it," Drake removed Thomas' body from his shoulder.

"Basic wasteful. If you get any money you use for things like that, when are you going to save up to marry Hana?" Drake scolds Thomas for not being serious about his relationship with his other editors.

EHEMM..

"Who will get married? You're Drake??" hana's voice shocked the two men.

"Did? Why is it me?" drake's response was quick.

"If not you, who?" Hana who came holding a cup was sipping her drink bit by bit.

Hana's eyes stopped on Thomas. He thought that Thomas would marry another girl.

"Don't tell me, you're the,-"

"No, not like that, baby. You just misheard it, earlier," Thomas approached his girlfriend immediately.

"Then? I heard you got married, who was it?"

"Nobody married. Really."

Since Thomas is busy with Hana, Drake thinks of leaving. While throwing his face away and his right hand pretending to be peeling, he walked past the couple casually.

"Wait, where are you going?" ask Thomas.

"Eh, hehehe, I want to go home.."

"You said you wanted to practice me, just now."

"It seems like next time, bye bye." Drake replied with a withered face.

"E e eehh, wait for Drake..."

As Thomas was about to escape from her, Hana immediately grabbed hold of her shoulder while gesturing Drake to leave quickly.

CLIP

Drake smiled slightly and waved his hand, "See you tomorrow.."

GRASPS

Drake entered the house and sat on the floor to take off his shoes. From the inside, Joy welcomes her home.

"Uncle is home!"

Drake. Then thrust a plastic box of fried chicken on Joy.

"Well, fried chicken!" pekik Joy happy.

From the inner room, Terra came out, "You're home?"

Drake nodded, "Thank you for looking after him."

"Hmm, just relax. He's not a bother."

"Is Luna still here?"

"He's gone."

"Ooh.."

At the moment Drake stepped following Joy, Terra held back and pressed her against the wall, "Tell me now."

SRET

"S about what?" Drake was unable to move because Terra was sticking so close to him.

"The kid."

Instantly the atmosphere became quiet.

"Eh? Why did my uncle and aunt stop there? Let's eat fried chicken together, "Joy saw Drake and Terra stop following him.

"You can go eat first. Uncle Drake is there a need with me," Terra said.

"Oh, okay. Then I'll wait for you guys inside" Joy went to the dining room first.

After Joy leaves, Drake steps forward while taking off his jacket. But again Terra pulled it.

SNIVEL

"Where are you going anyway? You haven't told me who the kid really is."

"Ehem.. Alright. I'll tell you a story. But there's no need to get this way either" Drake glanced at his right arm.

Two watermelons belonging to Terra seemed to be sticking spoiled to his arm because at that time, Terra was hugging his hand.

SNIVEL

Realizing that she was an embarrassment, Terra immediately put Drake's hand away, "Eh, I yes. Hehe,,"

"Follow me."

Drake walked into the living room and sat in his chair.

"You mean, the accident that hit you too?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"How can you?"

"originally. He was in a car without a driver. As soon as the car that took him crashed into the roadblock and stopped, I saved him."

Terra nodded.

"After that, he suddenly talked about someone who harmed his mother's father by reciting every word he heard on the scene. You understand what I mean, don't you?"

"Emm, did he imitate the words he heard from someone? That's how you mean?"

"Exactly. I think Joy is in danger right now. His wicked uncle has harmed his father and mother to obtain the right of inheritance."

"Then, like the story in the drama dong?"

"Almost like that. I was thinking, it could be that right now his uncle is looking for Joy to harm as well."

"If this is the case, why don't you just go to the police?"

"Hmm, I haven't tried it yet. About that, maybe I'll investigate it myself first."

"I understand."

Since the explanation he gave was clear enough, Drake stood up and stepped into the living room to meet Joy.

"Are we old?"

"Hm. Long time ago." replied Joy who had not touched her food.

"Eh, you haven't eaten a single chicken?" Drake saw the fried chicken in the box was still intact.

Joy nodded, "I'm waiting for uncle."

"Eeehh, why wait for uncle? Didn't uncle say just eat?" drake said while sitting down.

"Here, now eat," Drake opened the box of fried chicken and picked it up two pieces and placed it in Joy's plate bag.

Finished with Joy's part, Drake grabbed the plate from the shelf and placed it in front of Terra.

"You too, ate first just came home" he continued, putting a fried chicken on Terra's plate.

"Well, all right."

MOSQUITO MOSQUITO

"Aaaaarrgg,,," Drake burped.

Joy turned her head and said as she leaped, "Uncle? Is that the belching sound from your mouth?"

"Eh, I am" Drake replied.

Joy shook her head.

"Ck, Tsk, Tsk. Uncle has grown up, but uncle's attitude is embarrassing. What uncle does not know, it is impolite to belch in a loud voice like that. Especially in the presence of a beautiful woman like Terra's aunt," Joy advised Drake at length.

"Haiss, you're this. Do kids know what women do about beauty?" drake grumbled as he rolled his eyeballs facing the other direction with his right pinky scraping at his ears.

Seeing Drake's unwilling attitude to listen to good advice, Terra punched the thigh of the man sitting next to her.

PLAQUES

"Ih, you're this. Hear that. The little boy knows. You should set a good example for children. You're the opposite" said Terra glaring.

"Shhh. Why the hell?" Drake rubbed his left thigh which Terra had just hit.

"Shameful."

"Biarin," Drake did not care and just closed his eyes because of the ease of scraping the ears.

"Ihh, you son of a bitch."

••••••

Three days after Joy stayed at home, Drake could not freely communicate with F5. Because the boy always wanted to stick to him.

Especially because Luna and Tera come every day and bring some children's clothes for Joy. So, take Drake's house. Not as usual, quiet.

Her quiet and tidy carry, made the six-year-old Joy seem more mature than her age. Just like Drake was.

During his time as the son of a wealthy man, Joy was used to a disciplined and clean life. It's very much against the current Drake. Known as a chaotic and unemployed youth.

PLUGS

That night, Drake who was about to take a bath walked languidly into his room. He who had just come home from outside for a cause, threw the newly released clothes on the floor.

Coincidentally, Joy who was preparing to sleep saw him, "Uncle, that's...."

"What's wrong?" Drake turned around lazily while his one hand was at the waist.

Joy looked up to give advice, but as soon as she saw Drake's body full of tattoos, the advice she was about to say was swallowed back.

"T's okay, uncle."

"really?"

"Yes, hehe."

"Yes already. Sleep now."

"Yes, fine."

As soon as Drake entered the bathroom, Joy got out of bed and grabbed the clothes Drake had thrown on the floor. In a hurry, he placed it into the laundry basket that was near the wardrobe.

After that, he returned to the bed and pulled out his blanket. For several days sleeping in bed with Uncle Drake, he did not expect that the man had tattoos on his left arm and chest.

"Uncle Drake also has a picture on his body. Is he also going to do me bad, like Uncle Sam?" Joy grabbed her blanket while shaking.

THE CLIP!!

"But Uncle Drake saved me from a car accident. He can't be mean to me, can he?"

Just as Joy was thinking, a transparent bubble appeared. The bubble swirled for a while and then went into the bathroom.

"Eh? What'sthat?" apparently Joy could see the bubble that suddenly appeared.

How could? The bubble should not be visible to anyone. Because, that's the inner eye of a girl who always lurks Drake.
