00:00The little boy rented a large apartment all by himself.
00:02After moving in, he prepared dozens of boxes of tissues.
00:05These were greeting gifts he made for his new neighbors.
00:07The man living next door thought this was odd and asked where his parents were.
00:10Yet the boy only replied, I live here alone.
00:12After returning to his apartment, the boy looked around the place.
00:15He wanted to take a bath, but he couldn't find a bathtub anywhere.
00:17He then walked over to his neighbor's front door and asked where he could wash up.
00:20The man gave him an address for a nearby public bathhouse and said he would head there later too.
00:24The boy thanked him and left.
00:25Shortly afterward, the man spotted the boy inside the bathhouse.
00:28After they soaked in the hot spring, the boy started washing his hair.
00:31Seeing how clumsy he was, the man offered to help wash it.
00:34To his surprise, the boy said no one had washed his hair for him in a very long time.
00:37On the way back, they started chatting.
00:39The boy said that he had a lot of money, but his parents had passed away many years ago.
00:43After hearing his story, the man realized that they had gone through similar experiences.
00:47He told the boy that his own parents had also passed away long ago.
00:49The boy felt sorry for him after hearing that.
00:51The next day, the boy slipped and fell while cleaning the hallway outside his door.
00:55He returned to his room and tended to his injuries by himself.
00:57He then went over to the man's apartment, hoping to prove that he was very tough.
01:01At that moment, he noticed that the man's lower back was injured as well.
01:04He immediately pulled out a medicated patch and placed it on the man's lower back.
01:07The man was deeply touched.
01:08To thank him, he drew the boy's favorite cartoon character on the boy's bruised knee.
01:12Just as the two chatted and laughed together, an older man who lived downstairs came knocking.
01:16He liked children very much and reached out to get close to the boy.
01:18But the boy disliked being touched by him.
01:20Seeing the boy deliberately pull away from him, the older man took a stuffed toy out of his bag.
01:24The boy asked why he was giving him a gift.
01:26The older man admitted he had originally bought the stuffed toy for his own son,
01:29yet his son refused to see him.
01:31The boy immediately felt that the older man was only treating him as a substitute.
01:34So he returned the toy and bluntly said that he did not like that kind of insincerity at all.
01:38The older man stood there completely lost, never expecting his careless act to hurt the boy's feelings.
01:42Once the boy returned to his room, he grew terrified that the man next door might deceive him just like
01:46the downstairs older man had.
01:48So when they ran into each other again outside,
01:49the man worried it was unsafe for the boy to go out alone and suggested tagging along with him.
01:54But the boy said,
01:54You keep following me around, and it bothers me a lot.
01:57That comment led to an argument between them.
01:59The man stopped looking out for him and let the boy head outside on his own.
02:02The downstairs older man learned that the man had let the boy go out alone,
02:05so he rushed over to argue with him, asking what they would do if the boy ran into danger.
02:09The older man said that he was the one who had hurt the boy's feelings, so he had come to
02:12apologize.
02:13The man finally realized why the boy had suddenly become distant.
02:16The two then tried to figure out where the boy might have gone.
02:18At that moment, the man saw a group of children wearing kindergarten hats.
02:21He instantly realized that the boy had gone to the kindergarten.
02:24Regretting his argument with the boy, he immediately ran toward the school.
02:27School had already let out by then.
02:29All the other children had been picked up by their parents.
02:31The boy comforted himself, telling himself that it was okay to be alone.
02:34He was the last child to leave the kindergarten.
02:36Fortunately, the man arrived just in time.
02:38The man told the boy that he truly cared about him and would never betray his trust.
