"Yeah, i guess i need it...." Athiee sighed, watching Lee know walking away. She glanced at the kids, thinking about what should she do.

"Now kids, who wants to enjoy some time in the garden ?" The old lady said and all the kids shouted together with excitement.

"Let's play !!" They all said and started running toward the garden. Athiee cleared the path for them, with a surprised face.

"They are very energetic" she said watching them running around.

"May i help you ?" A decent voice reached Athiee's ears, catching her attention. She turned around and saw the old lady looking at her with a smile.

"Oh, Hello" Athiee said and bowed

"Hello, i don't mean to be harsh or something but it's my first time seeing you here... you are ?" The lady said with a lovely face, almost welcoming Athiee warmly.

"You're right, it's my first time visiting this place" Athiee said then looked away annoyed

"To be honest i was brought here by that weirdo...." She whispered and the lady smiled

"What did you say ?"

"Ahh nothing just ignore that part. Anyways, I'm Wang Hyorine" Athiee said and handed the lady her hand.

"Maria" the lady said, her eyes holding a friendly look.

"Since it's your first time here, let me show you around, Miss Hyorine" the lady said and walked out first.

"She's so warm... i envy those kids" Athiee said and quickly followed the lady.
Maria showed Athiee all the place, and they talked about the kids, and their daily life. Athiee was so comfortable talking to Maria, who is so easy going and easy to approach.

"Let's head to the garden, i bet you want to meet the kids"

"Well, that's why i'm here" Athiee said with calm expressions. They arrived at the garden where all the kids were playing around, enjoying their time. Athiee gazed at them, adoring their laughing faces, and their happy voices.

"You said you were dragged here by someone, who was it ?" Maria suddenly asked and Athiee looked at her.

"So you heard me"

"Yes" Maria said and laughed

"Me ! Me ! It's my turn !!" A child's voice caught Athiee's attention, she looked at him just to see Lee know playing with them. He looked very happy while all the kids were following him to get a hug. Athiee was silently watching the scene, and smiled faintly.

"It's him, who brought me here" she said and pointed at Minho. Maria looked at him and was surprised

"Him ?? You mean-"

"Lee know. Yes, he is the one" Athiee replied and Maria blinked surprised

"Lee know ? Ahh i see i see" she said and looked at him. Athiee gazed at her feeling a bit confused from her reaction

"Why is it that strange ?" Athiee asked

"Well... i know him since he was young, i know him very well..... and to know that he brought a girl here with him, was a bit surprising for me" Maria said then looked at Athiee

"Are you his girlfriend ?"

"What ?! No no, don't get the wrong idea. I just know him" Athiee said and Maria gazed at her, confused

"You just know him ? Yet he brought you here ?"

"Is this place special for him or something ?" Athiee asked, and Maria smiled
