Meguro checked his phone, the lock screen showed the current time.
“Almost 10,” he murmured, then he turned his head to saw Raul, “You don’t back home?”
Raul only glanced at Meguro and sighed, “I told you hours ago that…”
“Ah, sorry I forgot it,” Meguro suddenly remember something and interrupted Raul, “Okay. Wanna back home now? We already finished today’s job.”
“How about them?” Raul asked while looked around, he saw the rest of members who still prepared themselves before back home.
“They will back home soon too, right?” Meguro asked, “And you pass over your curfew,”
“I don’t care about curfew,” Raul murmured, “I want to feel midnight air, too”
“No, you can’t” Meguro told his disagreement, “Kids aren’t allowed to go outside their home after 10 pm…”
Raul smacked his lips and rolled his eyes, “The heck…”
“Raul, you didn’t back home?” Fukka asked while adjusted his shoes. He glanced at Meguro and Raul who stood in front of him, “Did your parents not called you?”
“My parents go to Venezuela for a week,” he answered, “Also my brother still on his vacation. I’m lonely at home,”
“Then why?” Fukka asked, “Is it okay if you stay alone at home?”
“I can’t cook,” Raul answered, “And Mama worried if I being alone at home. I sleep over Meme’s apartment tonight.”
“Ah… I see...” Fukka nodded his head. He stood and took his bag, “Let’s back home.”
Meguro nodded, he grabbed Raul’s arm and pulled him, “Back home, it’s not good for kids if they still going around outside house.”
Raul chuckled, he walked beside Meguro and waved his hand to Fukka, “I’ll back home, see you!”
Fukka waved his hand to them and gave a thin smile “Take care!”
Raul and Meguro also said good bye to other members before they out from the room. They went out from jimusho and stood in front of jimusho.
“I booked the taxi,” Meguro said before Raul asked, “I’m too tired to catch the last train,”
Raul nodded his head and sighed, “Me too,”
The taxi came and stopped in front of them. Meguro opened rear door and entered into the car, Raul followed him and sat beside Meguro, then closed the door. The driver asked their destination, Meguro confirmed it. Then the taxi left jimusho.
While they were on the way, they only kept silence. Several minutes later, Raul felt drowsy, his eyes looked sleepy and heavy. His head stumbled, but he tried hard to suppress it.
Meguro glanced at him, “Are you sleepy?”
“Eh?” Raul gasped. Suddenly he didn’t feel sleepy and turned his head to Meguro, “No.” he denied.
“Don’t lie,” Meguro teased and looked toward the younger, “Your head stumbled and almost bumped the glass, also your eyes looks sleepy,” he pointed Raul’s sleepy eyes.
Raul shook his head and pout, “I said I’m not sleepy,” he murmured
Meguro chuckled, “If you feel sleepy, just sleep anyway. I will wake you up when we arrive,” he said. Then he took his phone out from his pocket and unlocked the screen, checked some chat notifications and replied them.
Raul silence, he gazed towards the road outside, hands up to his chin. He saw some vehicles, road signs, and warm-toned road lamps that made him sleepy again. And several minutes later, his head stumbled and slept. Meguro glanced at him and chuckled.
“This kid...” he whispered. He shook his head and back focused to his phone.
The trip from jimusho to Meguro’s apartment took 25 minutes with taxi, quite far. That’s why Meguro let Raul slept during trip, besides the whole day was full with jobs and made them tired. Usually, Raul sleep at 11 and it close to the current time. Even though sometimes Raul used to awake for a whole night, Meguro didn’t allow him to stay awake when his bed time comes.
Meguro put his phone back to his pocket and looked towards Raul, he saw Raul’s sleep face.
“Cute,” he whispered. He thought Raul looked like a sleep baby, cute and peaceful.
He looks like a real baby, he thought, cute and peaceful. A baby but in a big size…
Meguro chuckled. He leaned his back to the back rest and stared towards the road.
Several minutes later, the taxi stopped. They arrived to their destination.
“Raul,” Meguro called while tapped Raul’s shoulder.
Raul woke and lifted up his head. He still felt sleepy, but they should out from taxi.
Meguro paid the fee to driver and thanked him. He opened the door and stepped his feet out. Raul followed him and stretched his body.
“You should sleep immediately,” Meguro said. Raul only nodded his head. He followed Meguro, walked inside the apartment building while held his drowsiness. He yawned and ruffled his hair for several times.
Meguro unlocked his unit door and opened it, “Enter first,” he asked to Raul. Raul nodded and stepped his feet inside, Meguro followed him and closed the door.
“You sleep on my bed, I’ll sleep on sofa,” Meguro said after they loosen their shoes
“Eh?” Raul hummed, “Is it okay?”
Meguro nodded and walked to his bedroom, “I usually sleep on sofa if I want, you can use my bed.”
“Ah, okay…” Raul nodded. He followed Meguro and jumped to the bed. He felt tired and sleepy. Seconds later, Raul fell asleep.
Meguro shook his head and stepped out from his room.

“Waaaa….”
Voice of baby cries mixed with sounds from phone alarm. Meguro reached his phone on the table lazily and turned it off.
“Waaaa… waaaa…”
“Huh?” Meguro hummed and opened his eyes, “Who?”
He woke up, sat on the sofa and ruffled his hair, “Neighbor’s baby?” he asked.
“Waaaaaaa...” that voice heard close. Meguro frowned.
“It’s impossible if voice from neighbor able to sound this close...” he murmured, “Where the hell this voice comes from?”
He kept silent, tried to hear that voice and guessed from where that voice came.
“Waaaaaaaa...” that voice became louder. Meguro gasped.
“From... here?” Meguro frowned. He thought that voice came from his unit. “But I never bring babies inside...”
“Except Raul,” he lowered his voice. Seconds later, he screamed, “Huh?!”
He stood and ran into his bedroom. He only found Raul’s clothes that the younger kid wore last night.
“Raul!” Meguro screamed. Is Raul kidnapped? But why his clothes left on the bed? And, he saw something swayed underneath the clothes.
Meguro approached his bed slowly, grabbed the T-shirt that Raul wore last night and lifted to uncovered something underneath. It showed a small undressed baby cried a loud.
“WHAT?” Meguro screamed, “From where this baby comes?!”
Meguro held the baby and carried him. He looked around, finding something to cover that small body on his arm. He turned his body and opened the wardrobe. He rushed to pick a clean towel, and wrapped the baby’s body with the towel. The baby stopped crying.
“I don’t have anything for this baby,” he sighed, “Then... where’s Raul?”
He walked out from his bedroom, walked around his unit. No one there except him and the baby out from nowhere. He grabbed his phone and tried to call Raul.
“Where’s Raul...” he whispered, worried. If something happens with that kid...
Seconds later, he heard phone rang from his bedroom. He walked inside and found Raul’s phone on his jeans’ pocket.
[Meme, calling]
He rejected his call on Raul’s phone and thrown it to the bed.
“Where’s him?” he frustrated. He checked his phone again and called other members.

“Then, where’s Raul?”
Koji panicked, he screamed before Meguro told him to shut up. “That baby is sleeping,”
“S-sorry,” Koji covered his mouth with his hand.
Meguro sighed desperately, “I don’t know from where that baby comes and where is Raul now...”
“Did you call others to come?” Koji asked, “I mean... Raul is go out of nowhere, and now we only get a mysterious baby in your bedroom,”
“Or...” Koji continued his sentence, lowered his voice and stared at Meguro mysteriously, “Raul turns into a baby?”
“Heh!” Meguro hit Koji’s head, “Who on earth will turning someone into a baby nowadays? You think we live in a fairytale world?”
“Who knows...” Koji murmured and pout his lips.
Meguro rolled his eyes and sighed. Suddenly, Koji grabbed his hands. Koji stared his face seriously, made he turned his face to Koji.
“But it can be happen!” Koji raised his voice. He moved his hands from Meguro’s arm, swayed to followed his words, “Last night, Raul sleep over in your bedroom. The only one that slept in your bedroom was Raul, Right? And when you woke up, you found a baby on the bed, covered with Raul’s clothes that he wore yesterday. Plus, you never bring babies to your apartment and maybe no one of your neighbor has a baby. Proof that the baby is Raul!” he flicked his fingers and pointed his index finger to Meguro.
Meguro scratched his head, confused. He couldn’t believe in those things nowadays, in the other hand Koji told thing that possible happened with current situation.
Meguro groaned, leaned his back and head to the sofa. He covered his face with his hands, “What should I do?”
Koji opened his phone and called someone.
“Hello? Fukka? Can you come to Meme’s place now? It’s important! We have a baby! Eh, I mean we got a baby. NOOOOO we didn’t do anything, the baby come out from nowhere in Meme’s bedroom... and Raul is missing! I’m serious! Do I sound like a liar? Better you come FAST!”
“Hello, Date-san? Are you free now? Please come to Meme’s house now! Urgent! Raul is missing and a mysterious baby appeared in his bedroom! I’m not lying! Fast!”
“Hello,”
“Hello,”
Meguro only heard Koji’s voice called everyone with panicking voice.
“Oh, crap...”

8 of 9 Snow Man members gathered round in Meguro’s living room. They sat surrounded the table.
“Ok, first, tell the chronology,” Hikaru asked Meguro calmly.
Meguro fetched a deep sigh before started his words, “As you guys know, Raul’s parents go to Venezuela for a week and his brother is on a vacation. He’s being alone at home, so his mom asked me to let Raul sleep over in my apartment until his brother back.
Last night, we back from jimusho with taxi. On the way to home, he felt sleepy. That’s why when we arrived, he slept immediately in my bedroom. I asked him to use my bedroom and I slept on sofa. He slept before I slept. I still awake until 12, checked my phone and had a chat with Abe-chan. Nothing happened.
Then, I woke up. I heard baby crying. I was thought the voice comes from neighbor, but as far as I know, no one of my neighbor has a baby. I tried to hear it once again, and that voice came from my bedroom. I checked my bedroom, I only found Raul’s clothes on bed and something underneath. I checked my bed and found that baby covered by Raul’s clothes. The baby didn’t wear anything and I don’t have baby clothes. That’s why I wrapped him with a towel.”
“So it was nothing suspicious came here?” Shota asked. Meguro nodded.
“Proof that Raul really turns into a baby!” Koji yelled.
Everyone stared at Koji and asked him to shut up. Koji pout.
“But logically, nowadays...” Sakuma started his sentences.
“But where’s the baby comes from if he’s not Raul?!” Koji turned being stubborn, “Plus, the baby found covered by Raul’s T-shirt! Proof that!”
“So, Raul isn’t missing? Like that?” Date asked.
“It sounds illogical...” Hikaru murmured, “But in this case...”
“Right, Teru-nii?” Koji pointed to Hikaru.
“I couldn’t believe this, but...” Abe thought hard.
“The only possible case is...” Shota murmured.
“But, it’s strange...” Meguro murmured. He massaged his temples.
“Stop thinking from where the baby is,” Fukka said, “Instead of thinking from where that baby comes, we should take care for that baby. Feed him, bathe him, how about his clothes...”
Shota flicked his fingers, “It’s crucial! Especially for a baby, we need to buy baby needs.”
“I’ll buy his clothes and his needs,” Fukka offered.
“I’ll make a food for him-and you guys,” Date offered.
“I’ll help to take care,” Koji offered.
“I’ll help anything I can help,” said Abe.
“Maybe all of us can sleep over here to help Meme?” Hikaru asked and glanced to Meguro. Meguro nodded tentatively.
“It’s okay,” Sakuma agreed.
“Me and Fukka will go to supermarket,” said Hikaru, “Now, we make a list that we need to buy,”
Meguro smiled widely, “Thanks, guys.”
Everyone shared the tasks. They made a shopping list together and discussed how to take care the baby while waiting Raul back. Fukka and Hikaru went to supermarket, brought the shopping list. Date rushed to the kitchen and checked groceries, of course with Meguro’s agreement. The rest members did anything they could do.
