That night, Seol Jihu had a dream. He wasn’t summoned by Roselle but was having a real dream.

The young Seol Jihu and Yoo Seonhwa were bickering with each other, and Seol Jihu could also see his mother and Aunty Yoo.

[Hurry up, Jihu.]

[But Hyung and I are going to play video games without Mom knowing…]

[No, you can’t. Aunty told you to go to bed. Let’s go to sleep together.]

[But I want to sleep with Hyung… Do I have to sleep with you?]

[Yes, you definitely have to.]

[Why?]

[Because— my parents sleep in the same room every night. Your mom and dad do the same, right?]

[Yeah!]

[That’s why. Think about it. My dad and your dad are biologically male, and my mom and your mom are biologically female.]

[Right.]

[Really?]

[Yes, of course.]

[Aha.]

[Got it? Okay, so go and catch some Zs with Seonhwa.]

[Okay.]

Just like that, the obedient young Seol Jihu was dragged to the bedroom by Yoo Seonhwa. As the two children held each other’s hands and laid down on the bed, Jihu’s Mom giggled quietly.

Seonhwa’s Mom laughed while looking a bit uneasy.

[What a trouble. I’m sorry, Jihu’s Mom.]

[Sorry about what?]

[I always tell her not to do that, but Seonhwa just won’t back down when it comes to Jihu.]

[Oh my, is it that much?]

[Yes! Last time, she even asked if I was interested in Jihu and how someone with a family could do something...
