I let out a yawn as I sit on the guest room bed, watching my mom pack her things. It's six in the morning and her flight leaves at seven. I offered to help pack but she refused, saying I should go back to sleep.

Obviously I'm not going to. This is the last time I'll see her. "Do you need money for an Uber? I can give you some." She waves me off. "Don't fret about it honey." I lean back against the soft white pillows, tempted to close my eyes and doze off. Last night, Lucky sent me pictures of her outfit and makeup. She asked me to choose which outfit she should wear to the club but I couldn't choose as I was out with Ji and my mom.

She ended up going in a really short denim skirt with a white belt and a red long sleeve crop top with white leather heeled boots.

"Alrright, I'm all set." My mom scans the room and my heart sinks. I'll miss her a lot. It's been a wonderful weekend and I can't wait for her to visit me again. She zips up her two bags and hauls it up.

We exit the room and spot Ji walking down the hall. "Are you ready? I can drive you to the airport." He says. "Really? Thank you." Answers my mom. "The car is unlocked so you can put your bags in the boot. I have to fetch Lumi real quick. You can come too Quinn." I shake my head. "It's alright. I haven't showered and dressed yet." I'm in a pair of pink sweats and a light blue sweater. Not to mention how my hair is sticking up in an unattractive way.

"So? We're just going to drop your mom off." I realise that he's also in a pair of sweats and a shirt.

I follow my mom to the car. The sun is starting to rise and chirping birds fill the air and fly around, darting to trees. The air is nice and cool and the sun feels warm on my face. I open the boot of Ji's car and help my mom put her bags in.

She turns and hugs me tightly after I close the boot. "I'm gonna miss you so much." She breathes into my hair and I nod. If I talk, I might cry and I don't want to cry this early in the morning.

Ji comes out with a sleeping Lumi and a carseat which he puts Lumi in and straps her in before he puts it in the car and straps the car seat in. My mom and I get in while he locks the front door.

The drive to the airport is quicker than I wanted it to be. I close my eyes a few times just to rest and I spot the airport coming into view, hearing the loud sound the aeroplanes make as they take off above us. Ji parks the car in the parking area and leaves it idling. I don't see much people around us so I get out along with my mom to help her take her bags out. I pull her in for a hug and it sinks in that this might be the last time I'll see her in years.

"Quinn, honey. I might cry." I chuckle and breathe in her scent before we pull away. She waves to Ji and I get back in the car, watching her walk off.

"I'm sure you'll see her soon." Ji says and I nod. "How about we get breakfast at McDonalds and eat somewhere near the beach?" He suggests. I chuckle. "Like a date?" I ask jokingly.

He turns to me and smiles. "As a matter of fact, yes. Quinn, would you like to eat Mcdonalds with me at one of my favourite places?" I giggle, not sure if he's serious or not but I'm not going to turn down the offer. "Of course." I answer.

We drive to McDonalds and he orders us breakfast. "Let's hope Lumi doesn't wake up. I didn't think to bring her milk with."

I hold the takeaway bag inbetween my feet and the carton of coffee on my lap. "Is it hard? Raising her all by yourself? I think it's a nice thing that you decided to look after her yourself but why? What are you gaining from it? Aren't your parents mad or something?"
