It was cute that Sung Jinwoo’s motivation was to improve their lives. And sad. Mostly sad. Because a 10-year-old shouldn’t be stressing over finances and his family’s livelihood. It made Sung Jinah want to work harder.
As cute and heart-wrenching as it was, Sung Jinah still didn’t appreciate his attitude and pseudo assault. So as her palm landed two solid blows to his bottom, she took satisfaction in his little yelps.
Sung Jinah watched her little brother scurry over to the corner, properly cowed by her display of strength and dominance. Sung Jinah would cement her status as caretaker and breadmaker later. But for now her priority was still cooking dinner for herself and him.
30 minutes later, fresh fajitas and rice was prepared.
Despite the fact the food was ready, it wasn’t time for dinner.
Sung Jinah pulled a chair out from under the kitchen table and patted her lap. “Little brother, come here.”
