I WOKE UP early and went downstairs. I wear a turtle neck shirt to cover my neck, of course. Dad is still sleeping and it's a relief. Then I went to the kitchen to check the stocks left.

I'll buy some later. But I'll cook something first for this morning.

Looking for what I could make, I frowned when I saw the stocks that were left.

There's a lot, I'm confused.

Was it like this before? Did Dad never touch these since I came here last time?

But while looking at it, aren't these much than the last time? It doesn't make sense.

Still confused, I still make and cook something afterwards.

I'm not a person who cook something for breakfast, specially when I'm in my apartment. It was a waste of time so I just make some coffee or sometimes just skipped the meal.

However, I can cook.

While cooking, I observed the kitchen. The place is strangely clean. Not only the kitchen, but the whole house. I walked around earlier so I noticed.

I know that it might be Dad's doing, but it strangely feel weird. I shrugged.

After cooking some food, I eat first. Dad would be awake just around this time so I need to eat before that. I don't want to make his day ruined just by seeing me first thing first in the morning.

"Vine...?"

I stopped from eating when I saw Dad here in the kitchen. He probably just woke up and walked here.

I drink some water first before standing up. "... I'll leave." I don't want him to start acting weird after seeing me.

"Why? Finish your food first. There's still alot on your plate."

I was stunned when I heard him said that. My eyes turned to his way, only to get more surprised when I saw him smiling, at me.

"Let's eat together. Can I?" He asked, with a calm expression.

I blinked. Did something happen? What's with him?

Still confused, I nodded. "Yes." I sit back again, but didn't touch my food.

He sat in the opposite side, and looked at the food on the table. "You made these?"

It's weird. Why's he smiling? "..Yes."

He smiled, even more. "It's been ages since I saw you cooking. I'm glad." He looked at me in the eyes. "Good morning, by the way."

That's it. And so confused. What the hell is this? Did I miss something? What happened when I'm not around?

There's a lot of thoughts in my head while looking at Dad, who's eating and sitting in front of me. I feel like I'm seeing a different person.

Why's he.. not freaking out after seeing me? Instead of that, he was smiling now. That's why I'm confused.

"Oh, when did you get here? I can't remember seeing you home yesterday.."

I'm still not used on him acting like this, because it's weird. "... Last night. You were already asleep."

"Oh?" I'm sorry about that, he he." His face looks like he was so sorry. "I didn't even cook something for you.."

My eyes fell down to my food. What is this? What am I seeing just now?

"If you'll visit again next time, let me know it before hand. I'll prepare something for you."

My hands clenched. Ah, that's right. This person in front of me, is Dad. The kind of father I had before.
