Past

You wake up once again in Wonwoo's apartment since your family will be there a while, and you decide to spend the day at your mom's to help her out. The day before had been a day of healing and reflecting on your dad's life, and you managed to do that thanks to Wonwoo. But it was your turn to help your mom now that you were in a better place mentally.

When Wonwoo woke up, you tell him about your plan, and he is happy that he helped your day be a little bit better; after all, that's what he wanted to do with you since he met you. Make you feel less sad, not necessarily happy,  but to help you feel at ease.

And he did help you—a lot. 

He had to go to work that day, so that he couldn't help. However, you didn't mind since he had already helped a lot, and you didn't want him to skip work because of you. He agreed to meet you for dinner.

When you arrive home, your family is having breakfast. The house is a mess, and you couldn't blame your mom for not tending the house, so as soon as you finished eating breakfast with your family, you stand up from the table to clean the house.

you are cleaning your parent's 

wait no

your mom's room. This was now your mom's room. Your dad was gone.

You can feel the tears come up again, but a sound outside makes you stand upright, and you see that it's your aunt

-hello y/n, can I ask you for a huge favor right now for your mom?- she says

-yes, of course, what is it?- you say

-Can you go to your mom's job and help put at the Christmas dinner they're having at the school today?- she says

you accept with no hesitation. Your mom wasn't in the condition to go. You wanted to help

you get ready for the dinner the school was going to have before their winter break; you put effort into looking good by putting on makeup and putting your hair into a neat ponytail. Hence, it looked like you put effort into looking good, but since you were going as a volunteer and not as a guest, you didn't put that effort as a guest would by putting on a nice dress. 

--

You go to the school, and when you arrive, teachers approach you as if you were a fragile thing, and you were thankful for their concerns. Still, you wanted to get to work as soon as possible

they placed you in the parking lot, where you would help guide cars into available parking lots. You started to think that they gave you this assignment because it was just you alone. They didn't want you to be overwhelmed, and to be honest, you were thankful that they gave you this job

it was cold, especially considering the sweater you brought. LA isn't a place where it snows, but it sure can get cold, especially if you remain outside for a long time in a thin sweater. 

A car approaches to enter the dinner party, and it looks familiar. When the driver rolls down the window, you see an awfully familiar face. 

Mingyu's dad

in the co-pilot seat was his mom, and in the back, you saw his sister, next to her was Mingyu, but you glanced at him and brought your attention back to his parents

-Hello, good evening! the available parking space is the last row on the left- you say with a smile

from your side view, you see Mingyu look up from his phone, but you avoid making eye contact with him

-thank you, dear, say hi to your parents for me- Mingyu's mom replies with a smile, and they drive off.

They didn't know...
