"Where should I put this Miss?" A lady asked Chaeryeong, she was now in the Country Clubhouse to fixed and decorate for the dinner that she will be holding.

"Just over there with the other desserts" Chaeryeong said and the lady nodded.

Chaeryeong looked around, making sure that that place was absolutely gorgeous. Not to mention, she was now also a co-owner of the Country Club since she was a very close and trustworthy friend of the original owner.

"Mommy~" the small voice always melts Chaeryeong's heart whenever she hears it. The sound of her daughter's voice really make her feel different

"Yes my love?" Chaeryeong asked as she turned around to pick up Yuna and carry her in her arms.

"Can I get that?" Yuna asks, pointing to the brownies that were displayed on the dessert corner

"Later my love, I don't want you to ruin your appetite for dinner" Chaeryeong said and kissed the girl's cheek as they looked around more

"Please mommy~" Yuna said and now in a more cutely way

"Yuna, you'll upset your stomach later if you eat that right now. I promise that you'll be able to try all of the desserts later after having a proper meal okay?" Chaeryeong said and Yuna just nodded as she pouted. She then started sulking, she just hugged her mother by her neck and then kept quiet. She knew she couldn't do anything else since her mommy just wants to give her what's best for her.

"Miss Serena" Chaeryeong heard and she turned to look at another worker in the Country Club

"Yes?" Chaeryeong asked

"There are a few visitors around already and they're waiting for you" the lady said

"Oh, I'll handle those then. Thank you for telling me" Chaeryeong said with a smile

"You're welcome Miss Serena" the lady said and bowed.

"Is it okay if I put you down first sweetheart? We need to greet some visitors" Chaeryeong told her daughter and Yuna nodded. Chaeryeong then carefully puts down Yuna and she held her hand as they walked over to the entrance.

"Will aunt Saerom and Aunt Seoyeon go here?" Yuna asked

"Hmm... I'm not sure sweetheart but I hope they do" Chaeryeong said and chuckled which made Yuna smile

"Serena! Nice to finally see you again!" A girl said and hugged Chaeryeong

"Nice to see you again Jennifer" Chaeryeong said and chuckled

"I told you to just call me Yunjin, it gets hard sometimes to be hearing people calling me Jennifer even here at Korea" Yunjin said and chuckled

"But I did told you to just call me Chaeryeong" Chaeryeong said and chuckled

"Alright alright" Yunjin said and chuckled but then she noticed Yuna who was beside Chaeryeong

"And this must be little Yuna" Yunjin said as she crouched down to level with the little girl.

"Hello Yuna, you've grown a lot this time" Yunjin said with a smile, the little girl now in front of her.

"Last time I saw you, you were just a year old. I'm sure you're dreaming to be like your mother" Yujin said and it made the little girl's ears perk up.

"Yeah! I want to be just like mommy when I grow up. She's a great fashion designer and also designs rooms!" Yuna said excitedly, making Yunjin and Chaeryeong chuckle

"Yuna sweetheart, why don't you go with your cousins first, Hitomi and Nako might need help with something" Chaeryeong said to her daughter

"Alright mommy, see you later. Oh and also call me when the chocolate mousse is taken out already" Yuna said and Chaeryeong nodded to her daughter's request.

Chaeryeong let Yuna go back to the house and she continued to fix some of the things.

"Only you here Yunjin?" Chaeryeong asked

"Not really, Kazuha's looking around the Country club, I just came here directly since I know you would be here" Yunjin said, following Chaeryeong around as well

"Ms. Serena, what about the colors for this?" a lady asked her

"Hmm... beige, tan or maybe sepia, taupe or latte. Anything that will match well with Cherry Wood" Chaeryeong said and the lady nodded

"They call you Serena here?" Yunjin asked

"They do, it's more like for business. I'm Serena or being called Serena since I also go international and when I'm just around with family and friends, I'm called as Chaeryeong" Chaeryeong explained and Yunjin nodded

"As if you're hiding your identity" Yunjin commented

"It can be like that, I prefer to not be known much by people with my real name" Chaeryeong said and Yunjin nodded once again.

"So? What do you think?" Lia asked as they finally arrived at the Country Clubhouse. There were more people than a while ago now

"Not bad, it looks nice here" Yeji said and chuckled

"Mhm, and the food must be good as well" Ryujin said, heading straight to the buffet.

"You can get yourself some food and meet us at the table over there" Lia said, pointing to a certain table and Yeji nodded.

Yeji did as so, getting some food from the buffet area but then she felt someone tugging on her shirt. When she looked down she was shocked to see the kid once again.

"Oh... you again" Yeji said and groaned

"Yes, and I just want to say sorry" Yuna said and pouted

"Oh..."

"Mommy told me it wasn't nice of me to be mean to older people and I should still be polite. I'm sorry for getting angry a while ago when you almost hit me with your car" Yuna said and Yeji was amused by her.

"Still, you have to be careful here since there are a lot more kids around" Yuna said and Yeji just chuckled. She likes this kid's attitude, probably almost having the same attitude as hers

"It's okay kiddo, just try not to play on the road next time as well" Yeji said and Yuna nodded with a smile

"Bye Miss" Yuna said and waved goodbye to Yeji and then went off.

Yeji chuckled and went to Lia and Ryujin's table. She sat down and was about to eat when she heard some voices calling a familiar name.

"Wow Miss Serena, it's really beautiful here" she heard and turned her head to see who it was.

As if her world stopped, she looked at the black raven haired girl who had very fare skin and was wearing a nice black dress. Yeji wanted to know who she was, she was sure she saw this woman before. Just when the woman she was looking at turned to look at her, Yeji's head began to hurt

"Fuck" Yeji muttered lowly and held her head.

"Are you okay Yeji?" Lia asked, noticing how the girl was acting different.

"My head hurts" Yeji groaned and squinted her eyes because of the pain

"Do you need some painkillers?" Ryujin asked and all Yeji could do was nod. Ryujin immediately gave the older her meds and when Yeji drank it, she felt a little more better and then sighed. She turned to find for the woman once again but she was nowhere to be found anymore.

"Serena...." She muttered softly and thought to herself
