"Oh, hi Seungyeon unnie." Nayeon walks back and forth in the living room while holding her phone tightly against her ear.

"Hi, uh, Nayeon?" The other line called.

"Ah, yes, this is Nayeon. Sorry for calling, I got your number from Jeongyeon." Nayeon nervously chuckled. "I-I... I just want to ask if y-your Dad and Mom is home?" She started fidgeting.

"Ah yes, they are home. Do you need something?"

"I'd like to come there. I want t-to talk with your parents. If it's okay with you guys. I know the news about me and Jeongyeon caused too much of a trouble."
Nayeon sat on the couch and wait for Seungyeon's reply on the other line.

"You can come, Nayeon. I'll inform Mom about you coming tonight. I won't tell Dad, I know he'll disagree. Come tonight around dinner at 7."

Nayeon sighed and smiled. "Thank you, unnie. I really want to talk to your parents. I really want to prove them that I really love Jeongie."

"I know, Nayeon. Thank you, Nayeon." Seungyeon said.

"I should be the one to thank you, unnie." She chuckled.

"No, thank you. I know how much Jeongyeon mean to you. Thank you for coming out. Jeongyeon has been dreaming of this since you two were together in your teenage years. She always told me and Mom that someday she'll show you out of the public and be a proud girlfriend. Jeongyeon is our baby and we all want the best for her. We supported her because me and Mom knows you're the only one who can bring the best out of Jeongyeon. Thank you for being brave Nayeon, and now I know Jeongyeon is really really happy because she have you again." Nayeon listened and couldn't help but to shed tears.

She sobbed. "T-Thank you. I'm sorry a lot of drama happened. I promise, I will make everything alright. This time, I'm gonna be the one to fight for me and Jeongyeon. Thank you, unnie." She said while wiping her tears out of her cheeks.

"That's the Im Nayeon, I know!" Nayeon laughed. "It's already 6 PM, go and fix yourself, 7 PM sharp don't be late!"

"Yeah, okay okay. Thank you, bye."

"Bye."

Nayeon heavely sighed and press the doorbell of Yoo residence.

"Nayeon, come in!" Seungyeon opened their gate and let Nayeon walks in before hugging the latter, tightly. "I missed you!"

"I missed you too, unnie. Thank you." Nayeon smiled and hugged Seungyeon back. "By the way, I brought a bottle of red wine." They broke the hug and Nayeon handed the paper bag to Seungyeon.

"Oh, thank you! Let's go. They are already in the dining room. Don't be nervous, you have me and Mom." Seungyeon gave her a reassuring smile and they walked inside the house.

I can do this.

I can do this.

I can do this.

I can do this.

I can do this.

I can do this.

Nayeon repeats the sentence inside her head as her hands won't stop shaking because of her nervousness.

"Seungyeon, who's the visitor you're talking about?" She heard the man's voice, Jeongyeon's father.

"She's here, Dad." Seungyeon replied as they entered the dining room.

The oldest Yoo stared at Nayeon. "Seungyeon, why is she here?" Mr. Yoo asked, that made Nayeon shivered.

"She has something to tell you guys." Seungyeon said.

"Nayeon, glad you came." The mother of the Yoo siblings stood up and went to where Nayeon is standing to give the latter a hug.

"Thank y-you, Auntie." Nayeon whispered.

"Let's sit and eat. I'm hungry because I did a lot of work in my new garden." She smiled at Nayeon and led Nayeon to sit beside her, and Seungyeon sat acrossed them.

"Why are you here, Im?" Mr. Yoo asked.

Nayeon looked at him and gulped. "I-I... I w-wanted to talk about me and Jeongyeon's r-relationship." She answered and bowed.

"What about it? You already exposed your relationship with my daugther to the public." Mr. Yoo hissed.

"I-I'm sorry. I want to..." Nayeon stuttered.

"Sweetheart, calm down, okay? I don't want Nayeon to be pressured. Can we just talk about this after dinner? I want to have a dinner together with Jeongyeon's girlfriend." Mrs. Yoo calmly said and smiled.

"Mom's right, Dad. As if you can say no to Mom or you want to check in a hotel again for the ninth time?" Seungyeon teased to lighten up the mood around the dining table.

"Keep your mouth close, Yoo Seungyeon." Mr. Yoo said that made Seungyeon giggles.

"You two, stop. Let's eat." Mrs. Yoo put a lot of foods on Nayeon plate. "You look skinny, eat a lot, Nayeonie. I'll tell Jeongyeon to cook delicious foods for you so you will gain weight."

"Thank you." Nayeon shyly said and started eating.

Seungyeon and Mrs. Yoo did not forget to emtertain and have chitchat with Nayeon while they are eating and Mr. Yoo is the one who is silently eating not bothering what the three girls are talking about.

"By the way, where's Jeongyeon?" Mrs. Yoo asked.

"Ah, she's still at work, Auntie." Nayeon looked down at her wrist watch. "She gets home, around 8 in the evening."

"Did you tell her that you're here?"

Nayeon shooked her head. "I... She won't let me if I'll tell her."

"Are you guys done?" Mr. Yoo suddenky spoke.

Nayeon wiped her lips with the table napkin and nod repeatedly.

"Follow me, Im. At my office." Mr. Yoo stood up and walks out of the dining room.

"Nayeonie, if something happens, don't hesitate to shout and I'll be there." Mrs. Yoo spoke.

Nayeon nervously chuckled and stood up. "I... I'll follow him, Auntie."

"Fighting, Nayeon-ah!" Seungyeon happily said. "By the way, his office is upstair. At the end of the hallway, left door." She instructed and Nayeon nodded.
