Kiernan opened the cleaning closet, stuffed the broom back inside, and closed it silently without making a ruckus.
'Next in the order… I will be helping in the kitchen.'
Kiernan quickly checked his phone to see what his next job as a chore boy was, and this was his first time helping in the kitchen, which made him slightly excited.
He'd rather do that than just sweep the ground for the thousandth time—for some odd reason, they clearly cared about the wellbeing of their gravel yard.
When he slid his phone inside his pocket, he heard some soft footsteps approach him from the side, and when he slightly turned his head to look around, his eyes widened as he saw Aoi speed-walk towards him with urgency.
"Aoi. What's up?"
Kiernan asked.
When Aoi saw his face, her cheeks turned pink, and her stomach was filled with butterflies, and she couldn't help but smile widely.
"Hey… Kiernan."
She nervously rubbed her hands together and tried to find the right words to say.
