Seyoung spends the day out of the house away from Minhyuk since she feels awkward with him at the moment. She just went out and went to the park and just think and roam around. After a while she decided to went to the hospital to visit Namjoo's father and to see if Namjoo is there. She came to the hospital and ride the elevator to the designated floor but before she went to Namjoo's father's room, she turned at another corner to visit someone else, the pregnant lady that she helped the other day.

She peeked on the room and saw the pregnant lady sitting on her bed while massaging her tummy. She greeted her and the lady smiled back when she saw her. The lady was glad to meet her again. They talked for a while before she finally went to Namjoo's father's room. When she get there Namjoo is there too together with Eunji.

"Oh Seyoung!" Namjoo greeted her 

"Hello sunbae" she greeted her

"I' really glad that you visit" she said

After that Seyoung also greeted Namjoo's father and talk with them, she introduced herself to Eunji and the room is filled with laughter. Namjoo's father is getting ready for his operation in two days and said that he's doing fine. After spending her time with them she already decided to go home before it gets dark. She's already at the hospital's lobby and gets Minhyuk's phone that she borrowed to message him that she's going home. She was about to send the message when she saw Minhyuk inside the hospital. He just came out of the elevator and ready to leave when she called him

"Oppa!"

Minhyuk turned around and is surprised to see Seyoung there. 

"What are you doing here?" Minhyuk asked when Seyoung gets near him

"I visited aunt Namjoo... I mean Namjoo sunbae's father. But you? What are you doing here? Don't tell me you're working?" She asked noticing that Minhyuk has his camera.

"Ah, no. I just visit someone too"

"Who?"

"Just someone, a friend"

"Ohh, but why you have your camera with you?"

"I went to the mall earlier, hey are you about to go home?"

"Yes actually I was about to message you but then I saw you here" Seyoung explained

"Oh is that so, then let's get home together" Minhyuk said and started to walk

"As if I have another choice" Seyoung mumbled to herself and shrugged before following Minhyuk.

The journey back to the house is actually still a bit awkward, although they have talked earlier like it's not, since they we're not talking and it's so quiet, the awkward atmosphere came back again. Before they reached home, Minhyuk offered to get some icecream first and so they entered a convenience store nearby to buy some. They stayed inside the store as they eat the icecream when the magazine stand caught Seyoung's attention. She walk to the magazine stand and browse the magazines there, most of them are magazines that she didn't know but there are some that are still alive at her time. She gets one magazine that has an image of a girl as its cover.

"Waah she's so pretty when she's young" She said as she admired the girl on the magazine

"You know her?" Minhyuk asked as he took another on his icecream

"yeah, she's a famous actress. She got many awards internationally"

"Ah, she's just a new face here, I never thought she'd make it big someday" Minhyuk commented

"I really like her dramas, well she old now, in my time, but she's actually still beautiful"

"Ah"

"Oh, you said that you're working for a magazine right? what mag is that?" She asked as she looks around

"Ah,,, here" Minhyuk said as he gets one and give it to her

"Where are your works here?" She asked as she flipped the pages

"Let me find it" Minhyuk said as helped her find a photo in there. In a certain page where an article about animals is written, were some photos. 

"You took these photos? Woah so nice" Seyoung commented

"Yeah, look" He pointed to a small printed information below the page

 photography by: KMH

"KMH?"

"Yeah, Kim MinHyuk"

"Ah, but why not your whole name instead? Why initials only?"

"I just feel that it's better"

"Is that so?" She said ang shrugged before walking

"Hey where are you going?" Minhyuk asked

"Paying for this?" She said, pertaining to the magazine

"You don't need to buy that, why would you buy that?"

"I just want too hehe"

Minhyuk decided to just leave her alone and do what she wants, he went to the small table inside the convenience store and take a seat while she waited for her. It didn't took her long and came back and sit beside Minhyuk, they continue to eat their icecream as they stared out the glass window and look at the scene outside. 

"Why did you bought that?"

"Uhm remembrance? I don't know, I just want to hehe"

"Tss"

"Oppa" she called, actually she's feeling a lot better now and not that awkward with hime anymore and can even call him oppa again, because if she's not comfortable, she will just call him as "hey"

"Yeah?" Minhyuk asked as he glanced at him

"Why did you chose photography as your field?"

"I don't know, maybe I inherited this interest from my father"

"He's a photographer too?"

"Yeah, actually I don't mind him before and his camera, I actually grew up hating on him" he said and paused " I'm still beginner at this field actually. My mother died when I was just young, maybe I'm just two or something at that time. I actually don't remember her face if not for the photos that we kept, I woudn't know how she looks like. I grew up without a mother and a father that only shows up a few times a month, he's always working, I know that it's for me, but because of his work, I felt empty. He was the only one with me but then he really didn't spend more time with me. He was a photographer, he travels different places and stuffs. It was when I'm a sixteen that I gained interest with these things, but then I didn't tell him. I kept it secretly"

"Then, where is your father now?"

"Now? he's now at our hometown, plowing the ricefields. When I was a kid, I was the one left in our hometown while he travelled, but now it's the other way around"

"But, do you like it? Your current situation with him, I mean, have you already work things out?"

"Actually yes, that's why I'm now travelling, to live more of his dream, but I'm trying to came back to him as frequent as I can, we only have each other and I don't want to lose another parent" he said and gets the magazine from Seyoung

"I missed him actually"

"I know how you feel"

"But still, If I want to, i can just go back to our hometown, but in your condition it's hard to come back to the future when you don't even know how you travelled back to the past?"

"Yeah, I wished I know how" she said and sighed

"Well, anyways, do you know a photographer named Kim Minhyuk in your time? Will I be famous?" he asked

"Hmm let me think.... no... I haven't heard someone named Kim Minhyuk in my time, more even a photographer, maybe you won't become successful" she joked

"Yah!" He said and look at the magazine in front of him "You know, the next issue will be better"

"Huh? How did you know?"

"My photography that is shown there, it's not my best work. And besides it's just for another random article of our writer, but I'm thinking of something for the next issue and that'll be better"

"So what's your concept?"

"Family. I want to show different kinds of family, big, small, rich or poor anything, I especially want to show a mother's love... you know cause I didm't grew up with a mom"

"I think that's a good idea"

After that they already went home. Seyoung was kind of happy because even if didn't ask minhyuk just open up to her. It's nice to get to know him better. She wants to buy the next issue of the magazine that Minhyuk talks about but he said that it'll be a month more to go. She didn't know if she'll still be in the year 2014 at that time, and if not, she wished that she can find a copy of that magazine even if it's dated 21 years before. She also promised herself to know more about photographers when she came back to 2035 and look for a particular Kim Minhyuk photographer. And with that her fourth day of stay in the past.
