Weekend has come, finally, two days of peace for Tzuyu. No schoolmates to annoy her, no morning classes, less stress. She woke up late, almost 1 in the afternoon.

Since we only sell one thing here, shall I get you one?"  She never saw this lady before and she can't see any similarities with the owner and her. "Where's the owner?" Tzuyu asked, pointing the big portairt on the wall. "Oh Mrs. Ahn.
