Storge

"Oh... Sana, your recent vlog's gone?" Momo starts her morning by scrolling through her phone, waiting for Jihyo's toast at the kitchen counter. Sana's channel has skyrocketed the day after the vlog was uploaded. The older wonders what happened? Was the vlog terminated? Did the content violate the community guidelines? If it does, then it was such a pity. It was doing well.

"Don't worry. I only made it private for some reason. I'll change it once I'm back in the mood." Sana joined Momo at the counter as she sat comfortably on the stool.

"So you're not in the mood. Was it about Chaeyoung's cameo?" Sana could only stay quiet at that moment, trying to ignore the question.

"You'll be going out again, you said right? Where you headin'?" The toast is already done and Jihyo brings out another topic. Observing the events happened these past weeks: when Chaeyoung joined the team, Sana's sudden behavior changes, and going out for whatever reason it is, Jihyo knew something's up. She's a close friend, yes, but she has no rights to know her friend's secrets especially if it's too personal. So she tries not to barge in unless Sana opens it up to them. Momo was actually the first one to notice it but Jihyo told her to do what's best, let Sana do her thing.

"Ah that? Yeah, I'll be going back to Daegu to visit someone." Sana responded then alternates the topic back to the vlog. She told her friends the idea of accepting the viewer's demand. What if they do it? It will be the compensation for making the vlog private for the meantime.

"Sorry, I'll help once I go home. Can I count on you?" Jihyo and Momo looked at each other first, talking silently as if they can understand each other's minds. Well, the planned compensation is a great idea though...

"YES!" Sana's two friends uttered in unison. They agreed with the plan.

After digging her breakfast, Sana didn't waste any time, she went outside to travel all the way to Daegu again. This time, she took a train ride instead of bus for it's way more convenient. It's Chaeyoung's parents that she's gonna meet very soon so she decided to wear a decent casual attire, as well as putting a light make up.

Sana had to walk further more upon arriving the city until she reached a small neighborhood. The girl checked her phone once again, making sure if the positioning system provides her the right navigation.

Sana moaned softly to herself as she compelled her fatigued legs to carry her along the neighborhood street path. Her feet stopped on the track when her gaze rested on the average bricked house, not so majestic and verdant but at least decent. She apprehensively forced her eyes to look directly at the house number, examining if it matches the address that Myoui Mina gave her. She thinks this is the one she's been looking for. She let her eyes rove over the exteriors, visualizing where this visitation will lead her.

She stepped through the doorway and put up her right hand to brush up her silky hair. Her heart skipped a beat every leaden step she took. Another deep breath taken to steady her nerves and soon knocks her knuckles on the wooden door. She waits patiently and knocked once again in hope that someone would respond.

"Hello dear. How may I help you?" A lady in her late fourties finally opened the door for her. Sana sighed in relief, her long travel today will not go to waste.

"Good day! I'm looking for Mrs. Yoo Nayeon..." Sana tries to sound formal.

"Oh, my wife's currently cooking at the kitchen. Come in." There was a duchene smile flashed on the lady's face as she accommodates Sana in.

The living room where they headed was a bit gloomy. Sana then looked up to face a single ceiling fixtures that hasn't provided a bright light yet because it's still daytime. Later on, she examined the whole room carefully and trod forwards. Flooring was old-fashioned vinyl with a blend of deep tortilla browns and the walls were faded aquarium blue and grape meeting a thin white baseboard. Sana thought these colours used to surround the guests with a joyful and enthusiastic vibe. But now, it illuminates nothing but dullness.
