Gentle Ghoul

The Politician

Time Skip

A few years and months passed since you're dad's funeral and you managed to get over it, although it took a while you still managed it. You missed your dad so much that you would have suicidal thoughts but you were wise into thinking about your mother and friends.
You sighed and went into your room and flopped down on your bed softly crying, until you heard the door creak open. You heard the voice of your mother and the unknown voice of a male. You got off your bed and grabbed the door handle and pulled it.

"I'm fine (name) just had a bad memory" he spoke with tears rolling from his eyes but he kept wiping them away. For some reason you started to feel safe around Mr Shin and you entered the lounge room and sat down next to the politician and handed him a box of tissues.
"Where's mum?" You asked him which made him start crying again but you kept handing the tissues to him.
"Sh-she went to work..." Hiroshi sobbed wiping his tears from his dark green eyes as he wrapped his arm around your shoulders and held you close hugging you. You smiled at him which made his crying expression lighten up a bit.
"You seem nice Hiroshi." You confirmed smiling at him which was enough to
