"Nope. That's all," Tiffany said and thanked the waiter.
After the waiter left their table, Naeun climbed down from her seat next to Taeyeon to sit beside Tiffany.
"Did Seohyun call?" Tiffany asked.
Taeyeon shook her head. "Why?"
"She said that it's hard to reach out to you these days."
"I'm busy raising my daughter."
"Still, go out and socialise a little bit. She thought that you'd been avoiding her because she kept on telling you to watch her dramas."
"That's true..." Taeyeon snorted. She took out her phone to text Seohyun. "Wow! I didn't realise she texted me this much and I haven't replied to any."
Tiffany could only shook her head and turned to focus on her daughter.
Soon, the waiter arrived at their table with the food they had ordered. Naeun stood on her chair to cup Tiffany's face before the waiter placed the food on the table. The small hands then moved to cover Tiffany's eyes, blocking her view.
Tiffany smiled at the cute gesture.
"Done!" Taeyeon said, fixing the tissue on the fish head for one last time.
Naeun let go of Tiffany's face and sat down.
"I don't know why we didn't just ask them to remove the head," Tiffany said.
"It's embarrassing! You can ask for it yourself if you want."
Tiffany laughed and thanked both of her loved ones.

Taeyeon watched her daughter play with Zero and her friends at the seesaw from a distance.
"Oh! It's Naeun's mom!"
She searched for the voice and saw a group of kids looking at her.
"I saw you on my TV!" one of the boys said.
"You saw me on TV?"
"Yes!" the boy answered enthusiastically.
"Really? Then, who else had seen me on TV?"
The other kids raised their hands, claiming that they saw her on the news.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Yes," the kids responded simultaneously.
"Who?"
