NO ONE'S POV
Someone approached Y/N's bed. It was a man. He stood beside her, watching as she slept peacefully. The dim light from the moon cast a soft glow on her face, making her features look even more delicate.
The man hesitated for a moment before whispering,
"Beautiful..." 😳
His voice was barely audible, almost as if he was afraid to disturb her slumber. He gently placed something near her bed—money and a bracelet. After taking one last lingering look at Y/N, he sighed and turned towards the window.
Before jumping out, he smirked under the darkness.
"You made my night." 😊
With that, he disappeared into the night.

Y/N's POV
I was jolted awake by the sound of my alarm. Ugh, already? (Yawn)
"I should get up and get ready for work." 🥱
Dragging myself out of bed, I reached to turn off the alarm when my eyes landed on something unexpected. Right there on the table were some money, my bracelet, and a note. My heart skipped a beat.
Wait… what?
I quickly grabbed the note and read it.
"Good night… and close your window next time ;-) "
A chill ran down my spine. I darted my eyes toward the window—it was open! 😱
"Oh my God…" My voice came out in a whisper as I rushed to lock it. But when I pulled on it slightly, it gave way. It's broken…
Turning the note over, I saw more writing.
"Your idiot thief ;)"
My hands trembled slightly as I looked at the money and my bracelet. He came back just to return my money? 🤔 Why would he do that?
I shook my head and sighed. I really need to move to a safer place…
After checking around the apartment to make sure I was alone, I hurried into the bathroom to get ready for the day.

Meanwhile, in Heaven 😇
The baby girl was curled up, sleeping soundly, while God watched over her.
God: "This kid… she already seems attached to her mother. What a sweet baby." 😇
The baby mumbled in her sleep, frowning slightly.
Baby: "Old man… save my mother…" 😓
God sighed, shaking his head.
God: "I take my words back. This little one is full of trouble." 😒

Y/N's POV
I walked down the road, earphones in, letting my favorite song fill my mind. But no matter how much I tried to focus on the music, my thoughts kept drifting back to the creepy thief. Why would he come back just to return my money?
I needed to tell James about this.
Pushing open the shop door, I spotted James smiling at me.
James: "Hey Y/N! Go change fast, I need to tell you something!" 🤗
"Oh? Really? Okay, I'll be there in a minute!" 😲
James: "I'll wait here!" 😃
I quickly changed and hurried back to him. He looked nervous, his foot tapping against the floor—a habit he had whenever he was anxious. I tapped his shoulder.
"Hey, where's our boss?" 😄
James turned to me and grinned.
James: "Ah, he's not coming today!" 😌
"Really? Great! No one's going to be yelling at me today—what a miracle!" 😉
James chuckled but then suddenly took a deep breath, his expression turning serious.
James: "Well… I-I need to tell you something, Y/N." 😄
I raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Yeah, tell me." 😄
James: "Well… I-I'm d-dating a girl and her—" 😓
"WAIT, WHAT?!" 😱
James jumped, startled by my reaction.
"When did this happen?!" 😱
James scratched the back of his head.
James: "Um… last week, I met her." 😓
"WHAT?! And you're only telling me now?!" 😰
James: "No, Y/N, I just… I wasn't sure about my feelings until now." 🙄
I opened my mouth to respond, but just then, the shop door chimed, signaling a customer.
"Welcome, sir." 🙂
James gave me a sheepish look, clearly wanting to continue the conversation, but I ignored him and focused on my work.

After finishing my shift, I grabbed my bag and headed for the door.
James: "Hey… Y/N, wait! Let me just lock up, and I'll walk with you." 😄
He hurried back, checked everything twice, and locked the door before jogging to catch up with me.
James: "Look, Y/N… I'm sorry—" 😅
"It's alright, Jamei. I'm happy for you." 😄
James: "Really… Y/N?" 😨
"Yes, James, I'm happy. But I'm also sad that you didn't tell me earlier." 😒
James gave me a guilty smile.
James: "I-I'm sorry, Y/N." 😔
He looked like a sad puppy. I sighed and patted his shoulder.
"It's okay, Jamei. So… what's her name?" 😄
James suddenly looked a bit nervous again. 😰
James: "Uh… her name is Cassey." 😅
"Ooh, nice name! By the way, James… last night, you said your friend was waiting for you. It was her, wasn't it?" 😏
I wiggled my eyebrows at him, and he turned red.
James: "A-ah… yes, yes, it was her." 😅
I laughed as we continued walking. Before I knew it, we were in front of my house.
"I can't believe you have a girlfriend now!" 😃
James: "I can't believe it either, Y/N." 🙄
"Oh really? I should start looking for a boyfriend too. Then we can go on double dates!" 😉
James' face went pale. 😨
James: "O-okay! See you tomorrow, Y/N! I-I have to go now!" 😅
"Okay, okay! Bye!" 😄
I waved at him and turned toward my house. As I closed the door, a sudden thought hit me.
"Oh no… I forgot to tell him about that creepy guy!" 😰
I sighed. I'll tell him tomorrow.
I glanced at the clock—5:30 PM. I should go buy some vegetables before it gets too late.

Meanwhile, in Heaven 😇
Baby: "O-Old man… that means James loves someone else? He's not my father?!" 😱
God: "I don't know about the father part, but… that James is lying to Y/N." 😇
(Though God could sense James' emotions, He chose not to say anything that might make the baby sad.)
Baby: "WHAT?! BUT WHY?!" 😱
God: "I don't know… but he is lying." 😇
Baby: "But you're God! You know everything!" 😒 (She gave Him a doubtful look.)
God sighed.
God: "Look, kid, I told you before—we can sense human emotions, but we can't always see their true intentions. Humans are smart. They know how to mask their real faces." 😇
Baby: "So… does that mean James is a bad guy? He's lying to my mom!" 😰
God smiled at her softly.
God: "I can see you really like her already." 😇
