"Mom! I'm home." Jiyeon shouted as she remove her school shoes.

"Mom- Eh? She left a note?" She said, then opened the small letter that was placed at the table.

I went to your grandmom's house. She's sick and needs someone to take care of her.

You'll stay at my long time friend's house while I'm away. Take care.

Love, mom

"At her friend's house? I wonder who that is." She said then went up to her room to pack her things.

At 6 PM, someone knocked at their door. Jiyeon opened the door.

She found a middle-aged woman smiling at her.

"U-Uhm. Do you need something, ma'am?" She asked.

"You're Jiyeon? Minji's daughter?" The woman asked, still smiling.

"Y-Yes. You're right. Is there anything you want to tell my mom?"

"I went here to fetch you, my dear. I'm your mom's friend. My name's Lee Hyunhae." The woman introduced herself.

"Oh, come in, come in. Have a seat first while I get my things." She opened the door.

Mrs. Lee sat down on one of their sofa while looking everywhere.

"Your mother is a really good designer."

"She is. Do you want anything to drink?"

"I'm ok. Let's just eat dinner later at our house." Mrs. Lee answered.

She left her for a couple of minutes and went down with her things.

"Let's go?" Mrs. Lee asked.

"Ok."

While on their way, Mrs. Lee is asking her some questions.

"How old are you?" Mrs. Lee asked.

"I'm 18."

"Oh, you're in the same age as my child."

"Really? I hope we'll get along well." She said, a bit excited to meet her child.

"I'm sure you will. What school are you attending?"

"Myonggi University."

"Really? Oh, we're here."

They went inside the house. Jiyeon was surprised to see their house.

Woah, it's really huge! Jiyeon exclaimed in her mind.

"Call Pumpkin, we're eating dinner."Mrs. Lee told the maid.

So, Pumpkin's her name? How cute! She said inside her mind again.

"Jiyeon-ah, come here." Mrs. Lee called her. She went towards the dining table.

"Go on, have a seat. Let's just wait for Pumpkin for a while." Jiyeon nodded.

"Hi mom." A familiar voice said from Jiyeon's back.

Jiyeon turned her head around. She saw L.Joe.

"What the...?! You're a boy?" Jiyeon suddenly exclaimed.

"What? Did you thought I was a girl? Woah! We're seeing each other always at school but all this time you were thinking of me as a girl?!" L.Joe said with a horrified look.

"No! It's not like that. I thought Mrs. Lee has a daughter because she called you 'Pumpkin'.'"

Mrs. Lee laughed at them.

"You two, will you please sit down? You have lots of time talking later."

The two exchanged sharp glances at each other before they start eating.
