Chapter 12: Fred’s Home
Lin looked at the saddened Fred for a while as Fred suddenly cheered up as he looked at Lin and said "Oh right? You were raised in the jungle. so now, Where will you stay in the city?"
Lin listening to Fred's word started to think about it. Fred looking at Lin said "How about you come with me? Live with me until you find your footing in the city." Lin looked at Fred's smiling face for a while as he nodded slowly agreeing with Fred.
"Ok let's go" Fred said as he put his hand around Lin's shoulder taking him in to the direction of his house. After a while Lin and Fred arrived infront of a large building. "Let's go in" Fred said as he went inside the large building Lin followed behind looking around curiously. As Lin entered the building's lobby he was amazed by the extravagant of the floor. They both took the elevator as they arrived at the 27th floor infront of House 2708 of the building.
Fred pushed the doorbell as a voice from the other side was heard "coming". The door opened as Lin saw a beautiful woman of 40s. "Darling !? You are back early. And who is this young man" The woman said with surprise and curiosity. "Ria, let me introduce. He is Lin Ji just arrived at the city earlier today and has no place to stay. So, I brought him here until he finds his footing."
The woman now introduced as Ria looked at Lin in surprise hearing her husband Fred's word. Lin looked at Ria looking at him as he slightly bowed and said "Hello miss I am Lin Ji. I will be in your care from now on."
Ria smiled slightly "come in!" She said as she entered the house Lin and Fred followed as they entered the house closing the door behind. Fred took Lin around his house introducing all the rooms and places in his house. There are a total of 11 rooms, 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom and restroom, a storage, the kitchen and a living room.
Lin, Fred and Ria were sitting together in the couch of living room. Ria looked at Lin as she asked "So, where are you from?"
"I was raised in the Jungle" Lin replied to Ria as she was shocked hearing Lin's word and looked at Fred as he was smiling amusingly by his wife's reaction but he nodded when Ria looked at him. Ria looked back at Lin as she hugged and said sadly "Oh poor you. Living such a harsh life at such a young age". Lin didn't do anything letting her embrace him. Fred looked at them quietly as he kept quiet for a while as Ria let Lin go and Lin again sat straight.
"I wanted to ask you for a while. Who took care of you in the jungle" Fred asked. Ria hearing Fred's words looked at him angrily as she said "Fred!" but before she could complete her sentence They heard Lin "I was raised by a grandpa. Before his death he said that he founded me in the Jungle and took care of me. After his death I came out of the Jungle to go around the world experiencing everything."
Listening to His word Ria and Fred were quiet for a while and suddenly Ria hugged Lin again as she said "Oh poor Lin."
A little while later in the evening, Ria was cooking dinner in the kitchen, Fred was watching news in the living room as Lin was in his new room given to him by Fred.
