Like Lucas, he found solace in the familiar embrace of the sturdy railings.

Despite his wisdom, he always carried a youthful demeanour."Come on," Alex sighed as he sat beside Lucas, facing Park Deggy."Uncle, I feel uneasy whenever someone calls me that. Can you take the position again and let me just assist you?" Alex pleaded, placing his hands on his chest."Forget it, I have become so carefree," Park Deggy said, shaking his body lightly."What do you do these days?" Lucas asked, his smile curious."I farm and do household chores. Lucas, I have prepared a grand feast just for you," Park Deggy declared with an intense gaze and a smile on his face.
