“JiHyun dear, chew properly before swallowing,” Mrs Seo states, seeing you stuff 3 big pieces of pancake into your mouth before attempting to chew and swallow. You nod your head at her before finishing off a few more pieces and placing your plate in the sink.

“Done!” you chirp before grabbing your bag and heading towards the door.

“Off to the orphanage again I see,” Mr Seo states knowingly, looking up from his cup of coffee. You smile and nod your head in response.

“I’m going!” you call out before opening the door and walking out, while hearing ‘take care’ from both your parents. The door closes behind you and it only takes you few steps to get to the main road. “Today is going to be a good day.”

Coincidentally, you were going to visit them on the same day he decided to go. 

It only took few minutes before you both were in front of the orphanage, you stare at Daehyun and blink at him with confusion. “Aren’t you going somewhere today Daehyun?” you question, in return the other nodded. “Then why are you here?”

“To visit,” earning a surprise look from you, “I promised one of the girls here, I would come back and visit.”
