"HELLO, PLEASE COME in." Daniel's mom was the sweetest older woman you could ever meet. "How have you been? Daniel is sleeping right now, but I see he has many friends. Oh my, he even got such a stunning young lady to come over!"

The said girl gushed, "But I think you are even more beautiful Ms. Park."

"You're too kind. No need to flatter an old lady like me."

"Hello ma'am," The tall Daniel bowed, an awkward expression on his face. Jay also bowed respectfully.

"That naughty Daniel is just sleeping when all of his friends are over..I'll go wake him up," Daniel's mom 'tsked.'

"No, no!" Tall Daniel said frantically. "Please don't wake him up!"

"I know this place is a mess, I apologize. I didn't have time to tidy these boxes."

"Here, we can help," Y/N offered, crouching down to help fold the boxes.

The older woman opposed, "What? This is no work for a guest."

"Don't worry about it Ms. Park. It's not like we have anything better to do. You should go take a rest. You must be tired from working all day."

The wrinkles around her eyes creased warmly. "Daniel has made such lovely friends. I'm glad." It was a motherly smile not many were fortunate enough to receive or experience in their lifetime. While Jay and Y/N helped fold boxes without any complaints, tall Daniel suddenly announced that he was tired and wanted to go to bed early. The moment he went to sleep, his short friend woke up and introduced himself.

The chubby friend was a little clumsy in his words, but nevertheless continued. "Uh, I've heard about you guys..I'm Daniel, and I live with Daniel. Haha, yes we have the same name too.."

"Oh? I know you!" Y/N gasped. "You're the cashier at that convenience store with the really good ramen! I didn't know you were Daniel's friend."

His mouth dropped in horror. Oh no! I forgot Y/N was at the store that one day! I can't let anyone found out about my bodies! Just play it off cool, Daniel. Play it off cool. "Y-yeah—" Hiccup.

The more the three of them talked, the more comfortable it got. It almost felt like they had already known each other. Eventually, it got late, so Y/N said her goodbyes and went to find a hotel near by. One of her workers already booked one quickly in advance, so it wasn't hard.
