"Thank you for visiting. please come back later," Hae Kyung said to their customer.

"is that our last customer Hae Kyung a?"

"ye sajang nim," said Hae Kyung while cleaning the countertop.

"Clean it all then we go home together,"

"Ye sajangnim,"

After Hae Kyung finished cleaning the cafe, she tidied her goods into her suitcase. Then she and her boss went to her boss' house. The house is not big but it has rooftop room. This room used to be her son sanctuary so after his death no one went to this room. Her boss had cleaned some of her son things and added bed for Hae Kyung.

"Ca... this is the room I am talking about. It used to be my sons sanctuary but it is yours now. Just use it as you like,"

"Sajangnim, it is too much for me" said Hae Kyung then she bowed down, "neomu neomu gamsahamnida,"

"It's okay Hae Kyung ah. Just use it until you get your own place. Arraseo?,"

"Ne sajangnim,"said Hae Kyung wiping her tears.

-------------------------------------

It has been two days after the audition which Hae Kyung totally nailed it. Thanks to Yong Ha she could pass the dance audition. However, she hadn't seen him since they did the dance practice. It would be easy if Hae Kyung had Yong Ha's phone number. Unfortunately, she always forget to ask him every time they meet.

"nan eodisseo? I passed the audition and i should pay you back"

Hae Kyung talked to herself while cleaning the countertop lazily. Suddenly an idea come up to her mind. When it came the time of her lunch break, she asked for her boss permition to have lunch outside which she agree. then Hae Kyung went to the orphanage nearby which Yong Ha said he volunteered. arriving there, she met a volunteer coaching children to sing.

"Excuse me, can i talk to you for a moment?"

"Ah ne. Jakkamanyo," then she said to the kids, "yeorobun, let's call it a day. we will continue the rehearsal tomorrow at the same time so don't be late"

"Ne seosaengnim." Then they walk to their rooms.

"They sing so well,"said Hae Kyung

"Ne. They are really talented. I just guide them so they can manage their voices well. What can I help you, miss..?"

"Hae Kyung," she said give her a handshake,"I search for a volunteer here name Kim Yong Ha,"

"I'm Emily Park. Kim Yong Ha? I've never heard of that name" she said smiling.

"Ah geulae. But he said himself that he was one of the volunteer here,"

"Hm... maybe you have his English name? Since some of the children here are not Korean, volunteer used to introduce himself with their English name,"

"I'm afraid I don't have any info for that,"

"Then I'm sorry I can't help you,"

"It's okay, thank you for your time,"

"No problem,"

Hae Kyung walked back to the cafe. She is so confused where to find Yong Ha. Suddenly her phone vibrate and kakao message arrived. It was from her sister.

"Hae Kyung ah, I want to tell you that your niece was born three days ago,"

Hae Kyung got so excited for the news and she immediately called her sister.

"Yeoboseyo?", said the girl on the other side.

"Eonnie, chukae!! How are you now? Are you fine? Is the baby fine? What is her name?"

"Ya! One by one hae kyung ah! My baby and I are fine. Her name is Hae Ri, Go Hae Ri,"

"Mianhe eonnie. I am so excited. Wah, such a beautiful name. I will go to your house tomorrow," Hae Kyung said happily.

"Hajima! Don't come here Hae Kyung ah. You will just ruin everything and I am not ready for it. I just told you because you are my only family left. Beside Sang Tae oppa is still mad at you. Maybe later when there's time, we can meet again,"

Then a baby cry was heard in the background.

"I am sorry Hae Kyung ah, I have to go," and just like that the phone hanged up.

Hae Kyung felt so lost hearing all her sister ranting. She was really happy and excited for her newborn niece. However, she was so shocked with her sister reaction. Tears streamed down her face. She felt so empty and unworthy. Suddenly rain poured down.

Hae Kyung just kept walking with no direction

Hae Kyung just kept walking with no direction. She then arrived at the bench near the gazebo where she and Yong Ha practiced for the dance and sit there. She looked up and closed her eyes. She let the rain washed her tears away.

Minutes later the rain started to stop. Hae Kyung still face the sky when she felt the water stop dripping into her face. She opened her eyes and found an umbrella above her. She looked at the owner who smiled and lend his hand.

"Kajja," Yong Ha said, "I'll take you home,"

She took his hand and hold it as long as they walk. They walked in silence but somehow Hae Kyung felt better just walk hand in hand with Yong Ha. Her heart feel warm and loved. Fifteen minutes later they arrived at her house. She opened the door and suddenly fainted.

"Hae Kyung ah!!"
