DecisionsHana paused from doing her homework in the living room and took a glance outside. She frowned.
"Wae? What's the matter?" Suzy asked as she placed a cup of hot chocolate on Hana's table.
"The rain got stronger," Hana complained and sighed. "Won't we eat dinner yet?"
"Ahh. Your appa is not home yet so drink this first as we wait. Are you hungry already?"
"Aniyo. Gwenchanayo." Hana smiled and took a sip of the hot chocolate. "Why are you early today, omma?"
"The professor didn't show up," Suzy said as she sat beside Hana.
"They can do that? Isn't that bad?" Hana asked.
"Of course, they can do that. It's bad if they do not inform us ahead and if they do not have any reason. However, they are people who can get sick too or have some other urgent matters so they could also take a leave, just like students do."
"Ohhh," Hana said and nodded. "My teachers don't have any absences so far."
"Good for you. Don't you dare wish for them to be absent! That is the one which is bad," Suzy glared playfully at her daughter.
Hana smiled sheepishly and Suzy chuckled because from that expression, she knew that Hana was guilty.
Jongin just came from the comfort room when he found Suzy in the living room. Judging from the books around her and the notebook where her head was lying, he could tell that she fell asleep while studying.

“What are you smiling at?”
“Oh!” Startled, he quickly closed his phone and placed it on the floor. “You’re awake?!”
Suzy yawned and stretched her arms. “I still need to study for Math. This is driving me crazy. I wish Sehun was here.”
Jongin smiled. “Let him visit his dad too.”
“Ara,” Suzy sighed. “That’s why I’m working hard here.”
Jongin then ruffled her hair to which Suzy smiled but her eyes caught the phone on his other hand placed on the floor.
“By any chance… did you take a picture of me while sleeping?” she innocently asked.
“A-Ani,” Jongin denied and smiled sheepishly.
Suzy playfully glared at him. “Something tells me that you did.”
Jongin choked out his laugh. “And what is it?”
“That sheepish smile of yours,” Suzy said proudly. "...tells me that you are guilty of what I have just said."
"You're like your dad," Suzy whispered.
"Hmmm?" Hana turned to look at her, unable to grasp what she said.
Suzy shook her head and just smiled. Then they heard that the opening of the door and their faces light up in glee as another family member comes in.
"Welcome home~" Hana said and Sehun just smiled back.
