Chapter 12: We Found a Place!
Soon afterwards, Reiko and Mako couldn't wait to show their loved ones their potential house for their family and as they walked back to Oak Sung's house and they saw him along with his wife and a few friends, including Shin Hai as they entered the door. Oak Sung could tell that they're immediately excited about something, but he already knew why they're glowing as he stood up and asked, "Did you finally find a house?"
"Yes, we did. We took a look at this one house and it's got a huge waterfall, beautiful view of the sky, amazing balcony and very huge and spacious to fit all of us." Mako replied.
They're all completely happy to see them completely excited about finding a new house for themselves for their family and they took an interest in seeing what it looks like and Reiko said, "Would you like to see what it looks like?"
"We would be delighted." Oak Sung said, happily.
The entire family followed Mako and Reiko as they made their way over to the forest that's unbeknownst to them is about 25 minutes from Oak Sung's home and after trekking through a few wooded areas and quiet places where they could see themselves living in one day and Mako could barely contain his excitement about the new place for the kids and the entire family as a whole and Oak stood behind his son, looking forward to see what's coming.
"I am really excited to see what the new house looks like." Oak Sung added.
"So am I, but I'm also a little nervous about what the kids would think of the house. They can be a little critical when it comes to space." Mako answered, a little apprehensive.
Reiko could tell that her husband's getting a little anxious about what the the kids would think and she thought the same thing too and she looked at him and said, "I'm sure that they'll love it."
Then, they heard the rushing waterfall coming in and Shin Hai's ears perked a little as the waterfall comes closer and closer and closer and he said, "Is it underwater?"
Mako laughs sarcastically about that living situation and playfully punched Shin Hai's arm and said, "Very funny, Shin."
Just then, they uncovered the leaves and took a look at the house for themselves and when they saw the grand scale of the house, they were completely awestruck by the size and the look of it, almost as if it's a big castle. Oak Sung gasped in amazement at the look of the house and he said, "This is what you found?"
"Yeah, dad. We saw the house and there's a huge amount of room and lots of space." Mako replied.
Oak smiled at this and he was so speechless about this house and said, "Looking at this house, a family I used to know lived there and had left Shanghai Secluded Valley for Japan and has been left there for several months now."
"So it had been vacant recently?" asked Reiko.
"Yes, it has. I think you guys are lucky to have a house like this for the kids." Shin Hai said, smiling.
Reiko nods her head in agreement and took a little look at the house and she said, "It's gonna need some sprucing up."
We'll check up on Mako and Reiko later! Next up, let's check in on the kids!
