Sehun walks straight to Sulli’s room as soon as he comes home.

“Still packing?”

“You are home? Deh. I just start.”

She smiles and folds her shirts.

“I heard from Jongin.”

“Yeah. He is coming along.”

“That’s a good start Ssul.”

“I don’t have any hidden thought Hun ah.”

“I’ll be more than happy if you did have Ssul.”

“Hun. I still can’t.”

“I know. It’s still early but Jongin. He is a nice guy.”

“I know Hun ah.”

Sehun stares at his best friend putting her outfits in the luggage.

“You are not ready?”

She nods.

“I’m afraid.”

Sehun scoots to her and hugs her from the side and caresses her arm.

“Mian.”

She shakes her head.

“I am the one who should say sorry. I bring the mood down. I’ll try to come back with the bright Ssul.”

Sehun smiles as he releases her.

“Can I anticipate it?”

She nods and chuckles.

“Now help me with dinner.”

“Alright captain.”

He answers before both him and Sulli laughs.

“Ken, come to omma.”

Sulli said when she arrived at Victoria’s house.

Ken runs to Sulli and hugs her neck before Sulli hugs him dearly.

“Come in Jongin ssi.”

“Deh. Kamsahamnida.”

Jongin walks in and sits on the sofa.

He looks around and spotted a photo frame with Sulli, Sehun, Victoria and another guy which he never seen before.

“That picture is from few years back. Sulli is still in University.”

Victoria put a glass of juice on the table.

“It’s hot so I made you cold juice.”

She said brightly.

“Unni, is everything ready? Do I need to buy anything?”

“Everything is in there Ssul. So, are you going straight away?”

“Deh. I was thinking about taking a flight but Jongin wants to drive.”

“Ken will be more comfortable.”

“Awww. You are so thoughtful.”

Victoria said while clasping her hand together which makes the latter rubs his nape shyly.

“He is.”

Sulli mutter inaudibly.

“We’ll leave now unni.”

“Ahh okay. Let me kiss my boy.”

Victoria hugs Ken and kisses him.

“Mommy will miss you baby.”

“He will miss you too unni.”

Victoria nods before she hugs Sulli.

“Don’t think about anything and just enjoy yourself neh. Remember that you are not going there to brood. You are going there to release the stress.”

“Arasseo unni.”

Victoria rubs Sulli’s back before she releases her.

She looks at Jongin who was standing not far from them.

“Please take care of my baby sister Jongin ssi.”

Victoria gives him a bow before she smiles at him.

“Deh.”

Jongin bows as well before he took the luggage with him.

“Ssul. Cheer up.”

Sulli nods and smiles before she holds Ken’s small hand in hers.

“Kaja Ken ah. Say bye to mommy.”

“Bye mommy.”

“Deh chagiya. Annyeong.”

Sulli smiles at Victoria before she walks to the elevator where Jongin had waited for them.

He plasters a smile at her which she found soothing.

“Jongin. Mianhe.”

She whispers to herself.

“Ssul?”

Sulli nods and hugs her halmoni.

“Omo my baby. Why do you take this long to come back?”

Sulli’s grandmother hugs her tightly before she cups her cheek.

“Have you been well my child?”

“Neh halmo
