Seora patted Joo Si-eun, who was looking intently at the entrance. “Don’t worry too much. Your dad went to fetch her, so your mom will return safely, too.”
“Yes.”
Though her answer was blunt, she was still a child. Seora hugged the fidgeting child, glancing at the gate. Si-eun clutched onto her clothes with both hands.
