Taeyeon and Mr.Kim were smiling at Mrs.Kim. Taeyeon then hugs her mom before saying goodbye.

"Just one week, mom." she says.

Mrs.Kim nodded. "Okay. Promise me you will take a good care of yourself. You too, yeobo." Mrs.Kim glanced at Mr.Kim.

Mr.Kim chuckled slightly before he nods. "Ara.. I will. Take care too, honey." he pecked on his wife's cheek. Taeyeon just smiled.

Both of them will go to Busan today. Taeyeon was worried a little because she and her dad have to leave Mrs.Kim alone. So she has told her best friends to come and look after Mrs.Kim for a while.

Fortunately they agreed. Of course they are. They have been friends for years! Almost ten years maybe. So they have considered Mrs.Kim as their mother as well.

Taeyeon hugged her mother again before she and Mr.Kim got into the car. Mr.Kim started the car engine before driving out of their home area.

Taeyeon and Mr.Kim waved to Mrs. Kim and  slowly Mr.Kim's car disappeared from Mrs.Kim's view.

Mrs.Kim sighed in silence. She went into her house and closed the door.

Taeyeon just looked out the window. She wanted to sleep, but she wasn't sleepy. Mr. Kim occasionally glanced at his daughter.

"You look stressed. Why?" he asked softly.

Taeyeon glanced at her dad before she shakes her head. "Nothing. I just can't sleep because I'm not sleepy." she replied.

"Don't worry about your mom. Jessica, Tiffany and Yoona will come to our house and checked on her." said Mr.Kim, knowing that his daughter must be worried about Mrs.Kim's safety.

"No, it's not about that." Taeyeon mumbled before sighing. "It just..nothing. About mom, I'm not worried anymore. I trust my besties." she added.

"Then why?"

Taeyeon just kept quiet. She also doesn't know why. But now she felt restless because of something she was not sure of.

She sighed a little before shaking her head. "Nothing. I slept first. Suddenly sleepy."  Taeyeon continued to lean her head back and started to close her eyes.

Mr.Kim just shook his head in annoyance. Taeyeon is a person who likes to hide her feelings.

She hated exposing her own feelings.

Mr.Kim just continued driving to Busan. He decided to just drive by himself.

Taeyeon turned her head towards the window. She opened her eyes again. Sighed in silence.

She knew her father was a little upset with her because she liked to hide her own feelings.

Taeyeon closed back her eyes and continued to sleep.

Finally they arrived in Busan. Mr. Kim booked two rooms in a luxury hotel. The room key is given to Taeyeon.

"This is the key to your room. Dad's room is next to yours." said Mr.Kim.

Taeyeon nodded before she took the key from her dad. They both got into the elevator. The two hotel assistants also came in together to show directions. Key 17 is pressed.

Once they arrived on the 17th floor, the hotel helpers helped them lift their luggage and showed them their rooms.

"Thank you." Taeyeon and Mr.Kim smiled and bowed slightly to them. They bowed back before walking away. Taeyeon and Mr.Kim went into their adjoining room.

Taeyeon closed the room door before placing her luggage by the bed. She threw herself on the soft bed. She closed her eyes for a while.

Then opened it back.

"Welcome, Busan." she mumbled.

Then she got up from her bed and headed for the balcony. The balcony door opened and Taeyeon stepped out. The blowing wind made her hair move a little. Taeyeon closed her eyes enjoying the fresh breeze.

Inhaled. Exhaled. Inhaled. Exhaled.

Her lips carved a smile. She felt a little calm and happy. Less stress.

Her hair was still moving due to the wind. She just let it go and took out her phone. Taeyeon checked her schedule while she was in Busan.

Tomorrow, she has to attend two meetings at once. It will definitely be a tiring day. Taeyeon keep back her phone on her pocket before inhaled.

Exhale back. She loves the views from this balcony. It feels so calm and beautiful.

Suddenly her phone rang. She pulled back her phone and checked. Message from Yoona. She opened the message.

Are you okay there? We are already miss you!

Taeyeon smiled a little. She thought that Yoona was so cute. She then typed back to reply her message.

I'm fine. Thanks God, me and my dad arrived here safely. I miss you guys too :(

Sent!

Kakao! Yoona quickly replied to her message. Taeyeon laughed a little.

Hehe, you are so cute. You don't have to worry about mom. We will always check the condition.

Taeyeon was touched with Yoona's message. She knows that her best friends were sincere. She quickly replied to Yoona's message.

Nae, thank you so much Yoong! Back from Busan, I will treat you and others.

Sent. Taeyeon waited for a while before Yoona replied to her message.

Aww so sweet. Thanks!

She smiled as she read it. She turned off her phone and stared at the views. The wind is still blowing. Taeyeon then looked at her phone when someone called her.

Dad.

She quickly answered the call. "Hello, dad."

"Hey, let's have lunch together. Go and prepared yourself. I will come to your room in twenty minutes."

"Alright!"

Taeyeon hung up the call before re-entering the room. The balcony door is closed. She needs to take a shower before getting ready to go out.

Without her knowing and realizing, someone was watching her from earlier...

Taeyeon went into the bathroom after taking her towel and she cleaned herself as fast as she could. After that, she came out after wearing a bathrobe. The shirt was chosen before she decided to wear black jeans and a black blouse.

The hair is dried and combed neatly. She just let her hair come loose untied. Taeyeon just put a thin make-up on her face. After that she sprayed her perfume on her body.

The hair was straightened again before she reached for her handbag.

Knock! Knock!

Nice timing. Taeyeon quickly went to the door and opened it. Mr.Kim smiled at her. She smiled back and went out from her room.

She locked the room door and looked at her father. "Let's go, dad."

"What do you want to eat?" Mr.Kim pulled his daughter's hand and they started to walk together.

Taeyeon think for a while. She then grins. "Pizza and mushroom soup!"

"Then let's go!"
