"Adie?!"

"H-how did this happen? Wait, what kind of a mother am I? How did I recognize you, oh my Lord!" she exclaimed while holding his face.

"Mom, you're being weird..."

She let go of his face while breathing heavily, "Sorry. I haven't seen you in a long time, I almost thought you forgot about me." she said "I almost did..." he whispered while eating causing her to hit his arm with a scowl.

"Okay! I'm kidding!" he exclaimed and surrendered his hands.

"So, mind explaining to your mother why you're in your six-year-old self?" she asked, batting her eyelashes.

Adie sighed heavily, "Lana won our bet, I didn't ask for this." he explained and straightened his suit "How 'bout you? How did you end up wearing a uniform?" he asked, "Your father got one of the equations wrong. So here we are, tada! In our thirteen-year-old bodies again." she explained as memory went to Adie's head.

"How's your father?" she asked before sipping his juice box.

"Hey, that's mine!" he claimed

"We share straws ever since you were a child, don't act like it's your first time."

"Dad's still alive. Not giving up on capturing you even if he's past self kept killing his men that he sent." Adie started "He rarely talks to me after you left, like I wasn't there." he sighed, his head down.

His mother's face softened, "I'm so sorry. I didn't know..." she whispered and stroked his face using her thumb "It's alright. Kinda used to it by now." he replied and stuffed his hands into his pockets.

"How about Lana? I'm sorry I wasn't able to come to her graduation." she said and restrained her tears from falling. "She understands. Dad wasn't able to come too. Now she works at the Commission with me." he answered, "Wanna walk?" he offered.

They walked on the sidewalk as pink leaves slowly fall on the ground, "Any regrets time traveling?" Adie suddenly asked, his hands stuffed in his pockets as usual, "Sometimes I do. I miss the house and the three of you." she sighed.

"Where is he?" he asked

"Oh, we kinda had a little quarrel because of his temper. Now I don't know where he is." she huffed until her eyes suspicuously looked at him "Do you have a girlfriend?" she suddenly asked causing him to cough.

"Not yet."

She groaned, "Adie, I want grandkids. I'm like a hundred years old now." she whined like a child, "Says the one who's in her thirteen-year-old body." Adie replied "Well, at least I have children." she defended and rolled her eyes.

"Wait, your father actually has a sister named Va—"

"Mom, I'm not really planning on getting into a relationship right now. The Commission is more important to me." he sighed and his mother looked at her, "Wow. You act just like your father." she scoffed.

While walking, a man standing across the sidewalk was staring at them with a certain look, especially at Y/N who looked at her up and down, "Damn... Nice thighs!" he exclaimed with a smirk and bit his lower lip causing the two to stop walking.

"너 방금 뭐라고 했어?! (What did you just say?!)" she exclaimed while looking at the man in disgust.

Adie's face turned into a serious one as he walked toward the man who was leaning on the tree, "Yeah, I almost thought boys stopped acting like this but turn out some people are still living in a shell." he said before punching the man hard in the face, a dark bruise appearing on his eye.
