A week past, Sungrin and Seunghoon added many thing on the bucket list and did some of it too. Enjoying each others company, knowing each other slowly and gently. Seunghoon was pretty close and open to his parents, he has been sharing stories about Sungrin to them. His parents has never seen him like this into a girl except for one girl.

“Hooni are you dating this Sungrin girl?’ his mom asked.

He didn’t know how to answer because he himself, doesn’t know what they are. All he knows is that they are in a special terms

“No?” he response with a unsure tone and left his seat “I’m going now. I’m going to help her find a house to stay for a month”

“oh? She's going live here for a month?” his mom curioisly asked

“Yes”

“You can ask her to live here, your sister’s apartment is free” his dad suggested, Seunghoon is in state of shock

“Dad, are you even kidding?”

“No. I’m serious instead of renting for a big room and pay huge amount of money she can borrow your noonas home for a month” His dad was saying after sipping his coffee

“For free?” he asked loudly and his dad nodded “Are you sure dad? Mom? For real?”

“Seunghoon he is sure and I am also fine with that! One more question and we’ll take it back” his mom got annoyed of him asking already and he laughed

“Thank you!!” he bowed at his parents and ran out of their apartment and went straight to Sungrin’s hotel to tell the good news

Truthfully, last night Seunghoon’s parents were talking about what they’ll do to his oldest sister’s apartment because she is already getting married and that she will stay in Seoul with her husband and his other sister has been staying in Japan already, they didn’t know what to do with their apartment next door. They also don’t want to take away the things that their daughters left, they are still emotional about it. When he arrived home his mom overheard seunghoon talking to his friend asking if they know a place where it is cheap and nearby.His parents discussed about it and they agreed before going to bed that they’ll let Seunghoon’s friend stay there and they are curious about that friend he is always mentioning.

When Seunghoon arrived at the hotel, Sungrin let him go to her room. He saw that her luggage was already fixed and she was ready to leave and find a new apartment. He sat on her bed and told her what his dad told him.

“Are you sure about that? For free? Isnt that too much” she curiously asked fixing her backpack

“No I think its just really fine and its only for a month. Its good offer”

“But that’s embarrassing”

“No trust me its not and they’ll like you like how my aunt did” Seunghoon said in a most convincing tone and tilted his head to peek at Sungrin’s face and moved his eyebrows and smiling at her. She gave up, she laughed at his face. He knew she just lost to him.

“Great let us go and move to my sister’s apartment” he jumped off the bed and grabbed her luggage and her hands. He felt nostalgic and remembered the moment on the train again

“You don’t know how much I wanted to do this when we were at the train” he said and she was flattered and she shly smiled at him

They checked out of the hotel and walked to the car. Sungrin started to get nervous because she’s going to meet his parents. It wasn’t normal. She was having a hard time breathing, she drinks too many water her lips were getting dry. She would look at Seunghoon and smile uncomforably. She doesnt know how or what to address them.

“Hey! It’ll be okay. Why are you so nervous?” he asked

“I don’t know?” she replied nervously

“give me your hand” he offered his warm hand to her and gave it to him.

He was driving holding her hands and never let it go, even using the gear. She was uncomfortable at first and her heart raced again in what he did that but when she got use to it her nervousness subsides because of Seunghoon.

“Feeling better now?” he asked as he glanced at her smiling, she hummed her answer

Before going straight to their home, Sungrin insisted to buy a cake for his parents. When they arrived the apartment she started getting nervous again. There wasn’t any reason to be nervous but she still was. He held both of her cold hands tightly and started to warm it

“Your hands are always cold. Its ridiculous.” He said as he rubs it and blow it

“lets go?” she said biting her lips

“there is nothing to be nervous about” he said assuring her, with that her heart started to calm and trusted his words

When they got inside his home, his dog welcomed them.

“Leehee~ oppa is here again!” he said and carried his dog, Sungrin’s eyes were glued to the cute chihuahua and sracthed her head

“Leehee this is Sungrin noona, say hi to her” he carried her paw and Sungrin accepted it and the dog her hands

“she seems to like you” he whispered and they smiled at each other

“Daddy, they’re here!” Seunghoon’s mom came towards them “Come in~ come in~”

Sungrin automatically smiled and bowed at her politely

“Hello” his mother looks very warm “Aigoo~ She’s pretty!” Seunghoon’s mom excited expressed, his dad just came out of their room and saw Sungrin and she automatically did the same thing she did to seunghoon’s mom

"She's pretty" his dad expressed 

"that's what exactly mom said" "thats exactly what I said" seunghoon and his mom said in unison and made Sungrin laugh.

She was flattered they their compliments and bowed as a sign of thank you

"Have you eaten?" Seunghoon's mother asked

"Ah no not yet" she said truthfully smiling

"Come here at the dinning and seat. I need to feed you" Seunghoon's mother said, she noticed how skinny and pale the girl is

"t-thank you" she said as she followed her in the kitchen and the two guys also did

When the food was set on the table that's only when Sungrin realized she hasnt introduced herself yet. So she stood again and bowed politely at the two elder who is seated

"Hello. I'm Lee Sungrin and I'm 21 years old. I'm from Gangnam-gu. Thank you so much for letting me stay at your daughter's apartment" she said formally and took the cake they bought earlier "I bought a cake to thank you and-" she went to her bag and took something "and a ginseng tea that I always bring"

"woah~ thank you very much! Come sit down and eat up now" the mom said and she followed as she was told

"It looks delicious. I'll eat it well." she stated and took a bite and they were eating the cake she brought.

Seunghoon was satisfied because his parents likes her. She is a sweet girl.

They talked about few things and when they were done. Sungrin wanted to help clean the table but Mom insisted to just sit there but she was stubborn and she really wanted to help her. Seunghoon's Mom liked her even more. Sungrin felt warm being around his parents, now she understands why Seunghoon is like he is now. She liked having to feel like she has a parents since she never experienced one. Seunghoon's mom and dad likes her, they thought she's really sweet, cute, kind, gentle and respectful..

"Sungrin let's look at my sisters apartment now" Seunghoon said opened the door that connects their house to the next apartment

When they got into the apartment everything was girly and white. She liked it.

"So what room do you want to use?" Seunghoon asked

"Am I allowed to use their rooms, really?" She asked to make sure

"Yes it's okay you can use it" his father answer and suggested "I think you should use Chaerin's room it's bigger and brighter"

"Okay I will follow abeonim's suggestion" she said cheerfully

"Okay we'll leave you two here" mom said and glared at Seunghoon "you behave" she said before closing the door that connected the house

"We are finally alone! Thank God" seunghoon let out and laid on the couch

"Alone?" She whispered nervously

"Do you want me to help you fix your things?" Seunghoon asked

"N-no it's okay I'm fine I don't have many things" she nervously said almost shouting as she moves to the room she'll be staying

"About the list we can do once a day" seunghoon said

"I think that's good, so what are we doing today?"

"I don't know? What do you want to do?" Seunghoon throw back the question

"Do you want to start at the hardest part?" She yelled as she puts the clothes at the cabinet

"So whats the hardest for you?" He laughingly asked and she just hum

"They all seem hard. Eating a gallon of ice cream seems hard too" she goes out of the room and sat facing him on the co
