"Welcome home." JeongYeon welcomed JiHyo's mother opening the door.

"Thank you dear."

"Come, I'll show you JiHyo's room."

"I guess I know her room." Her mother said smiling.

JeongYeon nodded embarrassedly. It was JiHyo's house anyway and it was obvious that her mother knew where her room was. JeongYeon took her upstairs but stopped when she saw NaYeon with the tray in her hands coming back downstairs.

"Where are you going unnie?" JeongYeon asked.

"Hello aunty. I'm NaYeon. We have talked on phone sometimes." NaYeon greeted JiHyo's mother.

"Hello my dear." Her mother caressed NaYeon's cheek.

"Why are you here with the tray?" JeongYeon asked again.

"I was here to make JiHyo eat the food but she's busy in study." NaYeon said looking down remembering what she saw a moment ago.

"Is she studying alone?" JeongYeon asked going toward JiHyo's room but NaYeon hold her wrist managing the tray in her one hand.

"Daniel is there with her. Don't worry about them. Aunty you can meet JiHyo. She doesn't know that you're here." NaYeon said with a smile.

"But I think her father told her that I'm coming today." Her mother said confusedly.

"Don't get me wrong but why did you come here aunty, I mean, at this time? You shouldn't travel." JeongYeon said guiding her toward JiHyo's room.

"Well, I'll tell you everything later." Her mother said and JeongYeon knocked on the door before opening it.

JiHyo looked at the people and rushed toward her mother happily. She hugged her mother tightly as she had missed her a lot. Daniel bowed to her with his big smile. Her mother nodded at him and went to sit on the bed.

"You guys have a talk. I'll ask you later for the lunch." JeongYeon said and signalled Daniel to come out from the room and give them privacy.

"She's her mother." Daniel said following JeongYeon.

"Yeah, she is. How did you get here and why you're not wearing the mask?"

"NaYeon noona called me saying JiHyo was mad at you guys for not letting her go out. and about mask, it was hot so I just removed it. I'm already negative you know."

"I can't risk Dani." JeongYeon said and sighed slamming herself on the couch.

"Did you have any talk with her mother?" Daniel asked sitting beside her.

"About what?" JeongYeon asked looking at him.

"Nothing, just asking. I should go now."

"You're done with your project?"

"Yeah kind of."

"Have lunch then you can go."

"Okay, thank you noona." He said bowing a bit.

"I'll just check on NaYeon unnie." JeongYeon said getting up.

"I'll just check my phone." He said chuckling fishing out his phone.

JeongYeon went inside the kitchen to find NaYeon but she was not there. She shrugged off and went upstairs to NaYeon's room. She knocked on the door but NaYeon didn't open it. The door was not locked so JeongYeon entered after.

She creased her brows finding NaYeon sleeping on the bed back facing her. JeongYeon closed the door and went to her. She laid beside NaYeon hugging her from back and faced her side way.
