{Present time}

"Chen!"

He ignores it.

"Chen~"

No respond.

"Chen Chen~"

He just continues walking.

"Chen Chen!"

He snaps.

He tilts his head to the left.

'What?' He mouths without voice.

The elder smiles.

"Nothing~" He sings.

Chen glares to the elder.

"Chen!" His mother calls.

She already walking a few step in front of him.

He left alone behind.

Maybe not alone as the elder is walking with him.

"Yes, mom. I'm coming!"

He replies while walking toward her.

He walks faster when he notices the elder smiles to him.

*Something not right with his smile.* Chen thoughts.

He just shrugs the thought as no one can see Xiumin.

Now, his mother and him are in the mall for groceries.

Chen walks to the counter with his mother to pay the groceries things.

He stands in the queue and his mother behind him.

He is talking with his mother about the dinner that he want she cooks for him.

Her mother just listening with smile.

His back is facing a woman in the line.

Suddenly.

"Hey, watch out where is your hand go!"

Chen turns his head behind to look what happened.

The woman who is in front of him in the line looked mad.

He turns his body to face her properly.

"Yes, miss. Can I help you?" He asks nicely.

"Help? Just help yourself! How could a high school like you touch my hip! ert!" She says with anger voice.

Chen stumbles a step back when he heard that woman suddenly anger to him.

"Sorry? What I have done?" He asks still nicely with a bit weird.

*ert?* in his thought.

That woman frowns.

"Chen." His mother calls him from behind him.

"What happened?" She asks.

"Ah, so you're with your girlfriend!" That woman smirks.

"Huh?" Chen blinks his eyes.

"Girlfriend?" He looks surrounding him.

Just the customers who are in the line that he never know them.

They are watching but not saying anything.

And his mother behind him and that woman in front of him.

"No wonder, you're ert. Your girlfriend is a noona," said that woman when she realized the woman behind 'the ert' behind her looked a bit old.

"Noona?" Chen looks his mother.

"Mom, it's that she said about you?" He asks naively.

His mother just smile.

"Miss, I think you have misunderstanding here. I'm his mother, not his girlfriend," said Mrs Kim.

"Mother?" That woman looks surprised.

Mrs Kim nod
