"Did they fall in love, Auntie Joo Hee?"

Hoon sat beside Joo Hee at the breakfast table while they waited for more food to be served by Cha Mi-jo who was still cooking and peeling fruits.

Jang Joo Hee shrugged. "I don't know. You woke up too early and I wasn't able to chat with your Eomma."

"Oh, sorry. I can pretend to sleep again... but I'm really hungry, Auntie," Hoon apologised.

Joo Hee smiled and fixed Hoon's hair. "No problem. I'll talk to Eomma later. Eomma looks happy, doesn't she?"

Hoon nodded. "Yes. She's even singing even it's not in tune."

"YAH!" Cha Mi-jo reacted upon hearing Hoon's comment on her voice.

"I still think it's beautiful, Eomma," Hoon said, loyally.

Joo Hee chuckled. "Don't blame him for having a musical ear. Anyway, why are you preparing so much food?"

Mi-jo blushed. "Nothing. Is it bad to feed the two of you?" Brushing off the comment quickly, Mi-jo said, "Let's go to a park after and bring all that you don't finish."

"To the park?" Hoon exclaimed. "YEEEEEEEYYYYY! I will run around today! Thank you, Eomma!!!"

Cha Mi-jo smiled. "Yes."

"You did sleep with him!"

"No."

"Mi-jo!"

"Auntie, why are you shouting at Eomma?" Hoon asked.

Joo Hee rolled her eyes. "Just checking if her ears still work because she doesn't seem to hear my questions."

"EOMMAAAAAAAAA!" Hoon yelled. When Mi-jo flinched, Hoon turned to Joo Hee, "It works."

"Ready to go to the park, Hoonie?" Mi-jo asked to change the topic.

"Yes!"

Soon, they found a picnic bench and Hoon was running around and meeting new friends. "He's been very happy lately," Mi-jo noted. "Having Dae-sik has been good for him."

Joo Hee hugged her. "Having YOU has been good for him. Dae-sik is just a bonus."

"Thank you, Joo Hee-ah," Mi-jo replied, hugging her friend.

"OH, and will you look at that," Joo Hee pointed to a man striding toward them. "Agent Dae-sik! What a coincidence!" She exclaimed, side-eyeing her best friend
