However, Yohan didn’t believe him. He gently wiped the tears from Mr. Mysterious’ face, motioned for him to look at the tears on his little hand, and asked, “Then what is this?”

“It’s rainwater,” Mr. Mysterious responded, trying to smile.

“Really?”

“Really.”

“Dad, don’t lie to me,” Yohan said seriously. “Let’s make an agreement. I will believe every word you say, and you will never lie to me, okay?”

“Okay,” Mr. Mysterious said, smiling through tears.

“Dad, you really didn’t cry?” Yohan asked.

“I did. But now I’ve stopped crying,” Mr. Mysterious said.

Yohan hugged him tightly again, coaxing, “Dad, don’t cry. I’ll always have your back.”
