Halmeoni's POV
The doorbell rings.
"Oh? Who could that be? Did Dal mi forget her keys?" I mutter to myself as I put down the vegetables that I was chopping.
I open the door and see Good Boy carrying Dal mi on his back.
"Good Boy!" I exclaim, ecstatic to see him.
"Shhh!" Good Boy says, putting a finger to his lips. "Dal mi is sleeping." He says in hushed tones.
"What happened to her? Is she drunk?" I ask. I cannot imagine the look on Ji pyeong's face is he ever witnessed Dal mi in her drunken state.
"No, she's just had a long day." Good Boy says.
"Oh, come in. This way, this way." I direct Good Boy towards Dal mi's room.
"Come," I hold Good Boy's hand and bring him to the kitchen after we've settled Dal mi into bed.
"It's not much, but I managed to whip something up for you." I say happily as I bring Good Boy to the dining table.
"Wah, what's all this." Good Boy smiles as he looks at the food on the table.
"I need to fatten you up." I say and poke Good Boy's ribs. He jumps in shock and laughs.
"See, look at you. I can feel your bones!" I scold him. Good Boy laughs heartily.
"Halmeoni, do you have lightbulbs you need to get changed? I can't keep getting free meals from you." Good Boy says.
"The best thing you can do for me is to eat. Come on, I even made your favourite corn dogs!" I say excitedly.
"Wah Halmeoni, you really make the best food." Good Boy says as he digs greedily into the food.
"Eat more, Good Boy. Do you ever make food for yourself at home? Or do you always eat out? Try to cook for yourself as much as possible, okay? There's so much salt and oil in the food outside." I nag at Good Boy.
"Yes Halmeoni. But you know, whenever I try to cook, it really tastes nothing like it should." Good Boy says with his mouth full.
"That's true. All you know how to do is invest and make money." I say.
"What?" Good Boy says.
"Don't talk when you're eating. You'll get indigestion." I chide him again but I'm smiling from ear to ear.
"Yes Halmeoni." Good Boy gives me a boyish grin.
"Aiyo, what a Good Boy." I laugh.

Dal mi's POV
I dream. I fall deep into the realm of dreams. Dreams that are far from the reality I live in.
Ji pyeong walks next to me. His face is dazzling in the soft rays of sunlight. He looks freer. He looks less stressed and burdened.
He reaches out his hand and I take it.
In my dream, I'm happy.
"Ji pyeong ah..." I call out. "Ji pyeong..." I call longingly.
