Yeh Shuhua had never left Taiwan before until she won a scholarship to study engineering in Seoul, she packed up her things and moved to South Korea only knowing a few basics words in Korean. At first things weren't easy but luckily for Shuhua an angel became her roommate, Seo Soojin was an architecture freshman and despite the language barrier she did everything to make Shuhua feel welcome, thanks to a translation app and a talent for mimics they became great friends and helped each other during their first years at university.

Years passed, the two graduated from university and began to share a small apartment, inside that apartment Shuhua shared almost everything with Soojin, except her biggest secret... that she was in love with Soojin, what had started with a friendship and immense gratitude had become something bigger over the years, Shuhua didn't know how and when but one fine day she realized that she loved Soojin romantically, she freaked out at first but after much reflection on her feelings she decided to keep her feelings to herself in fear of losing Soojin's friendship.

-How is your Ahgei? I followed your mother's recipe

Mrs Seo asked as she poured more food onto Shuhua's plate

-It´s wonderful Mrs Seo

Shuhua replied with a smile on her face, over the years she had grown very close to Soojin's family, especially Mrs. Seo. Since the first time Mrs Seo meet Shuhua she felt an immense need to protect her, so every time Soojin came home, Seo Sunyoung made sure she brought Shuhua too

-I like when we have dinner together, Soojin has been so busy lately

-She wanted to have dinner with us Mrs Seo but she had to finish her project

-She's workaholic just like her father, I'm glad I have you Shuhua, you are like a daughter to me and I am very happy that my daughter has a person like you by her side

-Well she is amazing too, she always took care of me, I'm the lucky one

Shuhua says with an intense twinkle in her eyes and then she looks down at her plate, trying to hide her red cheeks

-Shuhua...

-Yes Mrs Seo?

-Why won't you tell her?

-Tell her what?

-Tell Soojin that you have feelings for her

-WHAT?!

-I don´t...

-I may be old but I'm not blind, I see the way you look at her

-Mrs Seo

-I'm not mad about it honey, I just want to understand why you never said anything to her.

Shuhua stayed silent as she looked back down at her food

-Is it because of your parents? Soojin said they are very traditional

-No, on my last trip home I plucked up the courage and I told them I was a lesbian, I thought they were going to freak out but they took it well, apparently they already knew... or suspected, anyway they were very understanding and receptive

-I'm so happy for you Shuhua, but if your parents accept you why didn't you say anything to Soojin?

-It's complicated

-Love is always complicated, are you afraid she doesn't feel the same way?

Shuhua briefly glanced at Mr
