"They look so uncomfortable with each other," Doyoung whispered to his sister with a silent chuckle.

"Well, it's been a year ever since the two of them saw each other anyway. Not even sure if they're doing that cause they still like each other, or hate each other."

Minjeong casually replied whilst looking at her two parents who seemed to have been forcing their smiles for the past five minutes. Then stealing a glance at her grandparents who appeared to be dense with what was going on, eating their breakfasts quietly.

Today, she got forced by her brother to attend a small family gathering by this fancy restaurant near her apartment. The girl really wanted to decline, but since the older mentioned their grandparents attending, she had no other choice but to go.

"So, Minjeong... I heard that you recently went back to playing kendo?" Minjeong's grandfather asked with great interest.

"Ah, yeah." Minjeong nodded her head whilst taking a bite of her pancakes, "I'm training for this upcoming tournament that'll take place in two weeks."

The grandmother released a small gasp, "Aww, is that why my baby has a bandage wrapped around her left arm?"

Minjeong nodded her head once more, "I got it when a teammate of mine suddenly swung his sword while I was walking by, but I'm okay. I can move it freely without any problems."

Doyoung squinted his eyes, "Hey, how come you call her that while you stick with calling me a bastard?"

The old woman grabbed her fan and gave Doyoung a light smack on the head, "What do you mean why? Bastard, you left your poor sister to study in the states and was forced to face so many hardships with little support!" she glared at the siblings' parents who were quick to avert their gaze.

Guilty of what he did, Doyoung frowned his lips and grumbled. "No one understands me... It's so hard being the older one." he grumpily took a spoonful of his salad.

Everyone on the table heard the guy's mumblings which caused laughter to engulf their atmosphere. Minjeong couldn't even remember the last time she spent time with her family, it was all so a long time ago.

Nonetheless, it felt weird and she'd constantly smile from time to time. Of course, she noticed this as her lips felt unusually sore.

Stretching her jaw, Minjeong suddenly felt a buzz from her phone which she immediately took out and check the message.

Taking the last piece of her pancake, Minjeong fixed her posture and lingered her eyes around the restaurant, only to be met with a familiar gaze from a distance

There was Jimin, she had her chin rested on her palm whilst looking at her girlfriend with hearty eyes. She has never seen the latter in such a formal get-up, so she took her precious time to look at the girl and fully take in the view.
