"mom?" Aera is surprised when a tall figure stands infront of her. Which she's very familiar with, her own mom. Beside the woman, there's also a man with a nicely done beard, her dad. Her dad brings a kid around 4 years old who is sleeping on his shoulder.

"long time no see aera" her mother said. They have never seen each other for around 13 years and they still recognise each other. "what now?" Aera asked them. They suddenly coming back, without any news about them for the past few years.

"could you let us in first?" the mother said. Aera let them in, seeing they are bringing a kid. She couldn't let them speak in front of the door.

Aera grabs two glass of water and serve it to her parents. Both her parents look at her  when she sits down.

"Who is this?" Aera asked about the little girl who's sleeping beside his father's lap. "your sister, areum.. But we called her anna in australia" her father said. "wow.. You guys left me and still have the audacity to have sex and another child? Didn't you learn anything when you left me?" Aera mad with them.

"we missed you Aera! You don't know what we've been through when we left you there!" The mother said. "What you've been through?? Why don't you ask me about what I'VE been through??" Aera replied her mother back. "We did it to protect you!" Her mother replied her. "and? I was a kid when you left me there! I waited every day, hoping you guys to come back and pick me up! Till I learnt you guys will never come back." Aera burst into tears now. Her parents stayed silence after aera birst into tears. "If you guys expected me to treat you guys as a parent, I'm sorry I can't." Aera said while wiping her tears.

"dad, who is this?" the little girl wakes up. "She's your-", her father answered her but got interrupted by Aera. "No" Aera said. "I'm no longer part of this family when you left me" Aera didn't want to be related with them anymore.

"get to the point now please" Aera want their meet up to end soon as she couldn't stand being in the same room with them.

Both Mr and Mrs choi look at each other before begins their sentence. They talk about how they needed money to pay the shark loans. They ask wether Aera had the money as she became an idol now.

"still couldn't settle the debt?" Aera is surprised that they still couldn't able to pay the debt even after leaving her. Aera look at the little girl who still look confused about who is she. "Are you leaving her to me?" Aera asked, thinking wether her parents are going to do the same thing.

"No! We just need some of your money and we'll be free of debt!" the mother said. "We can start a new life again, Aera.. After we settle the debt" her dad said, who sounds more soft spoken than her mother. "You're an idol now, you must've a lot of money" her mother said.

"You guys don't know how being an idol and a minor works." Aera said to her mother. "look Aera, you must help us, or they're going to take Areum! I couldn't take it if she were taken by the shark loans!" her mother convinced Aera to help them bcs she don't want Areum to be taken by the shark loans

"I can't!" Aera screams as her mother becomes more desperate to get the money from her. "ask the boys! You have to help us!!" Her mother went to sit beside aera and hold her hand. "please" her mother beg. "I don't want them to be involved in this" Aera said, removing her mother's hand from hers.

Her mother look at her father, and her father shakes his head, as a sign to stop bcs areum is watching the whole thing but couldn't understand what they are saying. Areum could only understand english.

"please leave.." Aera said, wanting their conversation to ends now. Both her parents leave the dorm while Aera still look blankly at the coffee table. She didn't want to look at her parents eye or it will be hard for her to make them leave.
