Minji washed the plates and the utensils after she had her breakfast. She was about to go back to her room but became curious as to what the upstairs looked like. She was not able to roam around the house yesterday because she was busy cleaning the mess that Jung Kook made. Also, she was afraid of meeting him knowing that he hates her.

"Just a quick look." She told herself and she begins to walk upstairs while holding a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. She saw three rooms. She knocked on the middle door first to make sure that no one is inside. After a few minutes of waiting, she turned the knob to the right and when the door opened a little, she peeked inside to make sure that no one is around. When she felt confident that she has the house to herself, she opened the door wide and let herself in. There was a king size bed in the center, the size of the bed looks spacious for two people who wanted to play on the bed or to keep distance from each other. She walked around and saw that some of Jung Kook's clothes were scattered on the floor. She wanted to pick them up but that would be leaving evidence on the crime scene. He must never know that she was here.

She did not bother opening the lights so she moved the black-out curtains covering the sliding window instead. Her eyes squinted for a moment when the sun's rays hit her eyes. The view outside is incredible. They lived in a neighborhood where there are a lot of trees and flowers. She let herself out to the empty balcony and admired the surrounding. She saw a group of children walking side by side. An old lady who looks like she just came from the market because she was carrying two baskets.

She saw a couple eating breakfast on the balcony adjacent to their house. They were laughing heartily and the husband pecked his wife's cheeks. The woman lightly punched her husband's chest. She noticed Minji and waved. She smiled back and bowed her head a little before she went back into the room. Her eyes wandered around, the glass of juice almost empty before she went outside.

She checked the time and panicked when she saw that it's already 9:45 AM. She hurriedly went downstairs to take a bath inside her room. She was thankful that although the room was small, she has a bathroom inside it. Her shower was quick yet refreshing. When she went out, she grabbed a V-neck nude colored dress with ruffles on the hem. She just sprayed a bit of her favorite vanilla perfume and went out.

George was already parked outside when she was locking the house. He was standing agains the blue SUV car while drinking a can of Red Bull. She walked towards him and smiled.

"Good morning, George! I'm sorry to keep you waiting." She bowed her head.

"Not a problem, miss. How's your back?"

"Painful." she smiled. She opened the car door and slid herself in. George went inside after he finished his drink.

Minji's eyes wandered around during the ride. This is her first time seeing the city in its full glory. The people walking to their office, children playing and some street vendors selling food.

"George, what are those?" She pointed the food outside.

"The red one?" He asked.

She nodded as a reply. "Tteokbokki. It's really good. You never had one?"

"Uhmmm... never. But maybe I will try later."

He did not reply and continued driving. When they passed the Han River bridge, he took a left turn and saw a lot of tall buildings. Men on suit and women in dresses are walking on the sidewalk. She kinda feel intimidated by all of these so she pulled her cardigan closer.

"We're here." George said while he was parking. "Go to the entrance and simply say that you have an appointment with Dr. Lin."

Minji just nodded and was about to get out. "Would you like me to go with you?"
