"Yes mom, okay, I will meet him. Yes, I know. Don't worry. Lunch time, Thursday."

Eunbi hung up her phone. She was in her car in a parking lot waiting for Sakura. She was going to cook dinner and stay over at Sakura's apartment tonight. Not for long, she saw Sakura ran approaching her car. She was wearing a trench coat. The weather was cold and windy as Fall was starting.

Eunbi opened the passenger door. Her face lit up with joy.

"Hi, baby. Hurry up, it is cold."

Sakura was hurriedly entered Eunbi's car. It was so warm and nice. Sakura gave a peck to her girlfriend.

"Hello, beautiful."

"Did you wait long? Sorry, I was picking up some groceries."

"That's fine. What are you going to cook for me today?"

"Would you like ribs soup?"

"Sounds delicious!"

Eunbi's head was down low. She did feel lonely. She refrained herself for telling people that she was happily dating a beautiful and smart scientist.

"I always feel bad for you because I cannot be open to people with our relationship. I wish I could be more brave." said Eunbi.
