INT. AUTUMNCREST VILLAGE, JHAY'S VILLA -- AFTERNOON


After two more days of observation in the hospital, Isaiah was allowed to go home after the doctor's checkup earlier. Jhay brings him back to his villa to live with him, so he can also take care of Isaiah until he can freely walk again.


Jhay

What do you want for lunch?


Isaiah

I want to eat soup. But you decide what kind of soup.


Isaiah said with a pout.


Jhay

Oh well, I'll cook soup for you.


Isaiah

You know how to cook? You won't poison me with your cooking right?


Jhay

What do you think of me? Do I look like someone who would poison you after I took care of you?


Isaiah

Well... You have a point.


Isaiah sighed and he tried to push his wheelchair towards the living room.


Jhay

Let me help you.


Isaiah

No, no. I can do it.


Jhay

Where are you going by the way?


Isaiah

I want to take a nap but I can sleep on the sofa.


Jhay

You should sleep in the bedroom. Why do you want to sleep on the sofa?


Isaiah

I... I... I'm scared.


Isaiah said with a downcast look. Jhay looked at him amusingly but he still pushed the wheelchair towards the living room. He picked Isaiah up from the wheelchair and transferred him to a sofa.


Isaiah

W-what are you doing? You don't have to carry me!
