Author's note: Please say hi. Silent readers, it's now your time to shine! Upvotes and comments motivate me so much. This was a lame update, I'm sorry about yesterday. I decided to edit this. Let's take it easy. Little by little, more and more interactions >:)   Sana   7:30 pm at Minatozaki's residence must be for dinner time. But this time, Sana was too pressed on her laptop while her father was pressed on his phone.  "Don't beat around the bush. You're firing me by calling me on the phone." Father gritted his teeth and sits on a chair across Sana who has her earphones in her ears. He lowered his head and fights the urge of throwing something fragile on the floor. Only the pressing of keyboards was evidently heard as he took a steady breath. He checked on Sana and felt his heart ease when she didn't hear their conversation: that he's getting fired.   "You can't even wait till 6 in the morning to say this in front of my face." "I'll be busy tomorrow." the person on the other line replied. He straightened his shirt and pads the folds. Father stands up and goes to the garage. "You're cruel, Jang Soo. I have a daughter to feed." "I'm sorry. We've figured that we need the best for the company."  He holds the phone tighter and thinks about smashing it on Jang Soo's face. That ing bastard. "I've been loyal to this company for 26 years. How can you just replace me with a newbie who have big s and tell me you need the best for the company?" "Shouldn't you consider retiring? You're getting," The person heaves a sigh. "... old" "Listen, I'm only 43 years old. Don't make my age as an excuse for your libido." The venom in his words made Jang Soo cringed.  "That's final, Ryou. Your service and presence were appreciated and will be missed." Jang Soo mocks. He could imagine him grinning at the other end of the line, wearing his sinister smile with his shoes collecting dust. Knowing Jang Soo's smiling for his misery even made him want to tear off his shirt and attack him like the hulk.  "You--" The line went dead. "That bastard!" Father felt his blood rise up his veins and boil. Sana is in the corner of his eye, her back still against the chair while surfing the web. She's still wearing her earphones, but doesn't play a sound.   ∞∞∞   Sana took a glance in front and starts to look for Tzuyu's presence. Then she layed a carton of milk and a lunch box on her desk when she realized the latter's absent. "And.. I've stalked her Instagram last night that I didn't even get to sleep. That's why my eyes are red."  "That's a new thing." Jihyo sarcastically replies which earned a light smack from Sana. She did stalked her Instagram for like nine minutes, but she stopped because her father looks terribly worried. Then she happened to eavesdrop their conversation. She pretended like she didn't hear those words which made it awfully hard. She wanted to gouge her eyes because it won't stop spilling hot tears. "Whatever. Speaking of new thing, my father's acting so weird and he's like in a panic. He's on his phone the whole night dialling numbers. He can't even look me in the eye." Slip of a tongue. She didn't mean to open up a talk about that. Sana contemplates whether telling Jihyo the truth or just let that lay there. Jihyo blinked slowly and turned her head to face Sana. "Maybe he's doing something for work." Don't even think of asking something else.  "Yeah must be for work." Sana assures herself. But there's something odd she's feeling and it's making her feel nervous. The possible things that her father might do just to let her live. Jihyo noticed the change in Sana's tone. At all cost, she knew Sana all too well. "Did something happen?" Jihyo said it with a sigh and piteously. Sana shook her head. "I know you, and I know you know me all too well like how I could read you. We've been friends for years already. It's not like I won't find out if you wouldn't tell me." "Then why are you asking if you'll know it anyway?" "Minatozaki," Jihyo puts on a serious look. Her eyes were naturally round like spheres, but when she gives a serious look, it's like her eyes are shrinking a little. It somehow scares Sana out. Like she couldn't see Jihyo within. "Are you seriously going to be pedantic?" Sana groans a little. "Fine." "Tell me. I'll listen." "It's nothing emotional or physical. It's a financial problem. My father just lost his job." "Have you already talked about that?" "Not yet. He doesn't know that I knew." "Do you have any plans? I mean, you need to figure out things ahead." "I don't know." Her voice cracked and her vision was getting blurry, just exiguous. Jihyo initially pulled Sana in her arms and whispered, "It's fine."  Jihyo would not know what to say and what should she say. But Sana was thankful she had a release. She was thankful she had Jihyo by her side.  Sana's milk is getting warm already and she didn't get to drink it in recess, not even eat. She felt the sun rays sink in her and she suddenly felt her whole body hot. She already wanted to get out of this school so she could go back. Not in the house, but home.   ∞∞∞   Sana knew she was right that there's something odd about her father's action because when she got home, her father lay on the cushion and asked her to pack her things in a hurry. "We're moving out." He said, which confirmed Sana's negative thoughts.  He told her he got fired while they're in the car and was shocked that Sana didn't give a ferocious or pensive look. She just nods and watched the lights dance through the window. "Our house is for rent for now. At least we can earn just a little while I'm still finding a job." Her father had said while he's driving.  "Already? Where are we living?" "A friend's house." "You have one?" Sana meant it as a joke. "I mean you overwork yourself that you couldn't even have a time in socializing." "I think I had friends before I started to work." He muttered in a playful tone. "I bumped into a lady when I was at a grocery store this morning. She's a
