Chapter 81 Birthday.
When the date arrived, Jin and Silvia stood before the wooden door to the place where Iris and Nina lived. Both wore casual outfits, each holding paper sprinkled with various colors, awaiting the main star’s arrival.
The celebration atmosphere was palpable in the wide room, where flowers and paper chains hung on each corner of the walls.
"How was it, Jin?". Silvia turned toward the boy, who closed his eyes.
A moment later, his ears twitched as he felt a slight vibration in the air. Jin’s eyes jolted open, and he lifted his gaze to the girl, whose expression melted, for this was the first time she had experienced this.
Her flushed cheek and tensed hands, which held the sprinkles, put a smile on his face.
"They will be arriving soon; prepare yourself." Jin straightened his posture, and so did the girl. A moment later, they heard the door click.
’Here we go!’. Jin exchanged glances with Silvia, and both held their breath, witnessing the girl stiffened upon opening the door.
"Happy Birthday, Nina".
Both loudly cheered by throwing their hands upward, letting the sprinkles fall like autumn leaves. The little girl’s large eyes gently reflected the sprinkles’ bright color.
"Big Brother, Jin and Big Sis, Silvia".
Nina opened her stiffened mouth and glanced sideways toward them. She gulped her saliva and seemed to have forgotten to breathe.
