"Halmeoni~~~" her squeaking dolphin voice echoed the ward loudly which made everyone in the ward giggled at her cuteness. She ran with her small steps toward Tzuyu's mother's bed. On the other hand, Tzuyu followed her from behind and nodded slightly to three other patients on the ward.

"Aigooo... how cute she is...Kid, do you want some candies?" the old patient beside Tzuyu's mother's bed offered candies to her. It was like a habit, she looked at Tzuyu asking for permission, and when Tzuyu nodded her head, she happily took the candies with her little hands.

"Thank you, Grandmother." she bowed lightly to her. Yeojin then tried on climbing onto the bed, but it was higher than the bed in the apartment. She tried attempts with her grunting sound cutely made Tzuyu giggle.

Looking at the view, Tzuyu stopped Yeojin from climbing with her hands holding Yeojin's shoulder to stay still. Yeojin took off Yeojin's shoes first before putting Yeojin on her mother's safe side and she obediently lay beside her grandmother's side.

"Halmeoni, I got candies." she bragged showing her eye smile to her. They were closed after some meetings. Tzuyu who still needed to take care of her mother and still can't leave Yeojin alone, brought Yeojin to the hospital after she heard that her mother's condition was safe. Surprisingly, Tzuyu didn't whine a lot when she came to the hospital and became closer to her mother. Her mother also didn't complain to her. She was surprised at first, but when she knew the story, she understand the feeling of the little girl.

"Halmeoni, I give you one." Yeojin handed a candy in her hand.

"Just one? I need some though." her mother teased her.

Yeojin frowned at Tzuyu hearing the words, she started to seek help. She was on the verge of tears. Her mother chuckled at her behavior.

"I know... Just one." Tzuyu's mother took candy from her little hand. They chuckled at the little girl's cuteness.

"Mom, How about your condition?" Tzuyu put the fruits she brought outside on the desk and peeled an apple. She took a knife and peeled it carefully. She cut the apple into dice so it can easily be eaten.

"I'm good. Just focus on yours, I have friends here." she laughed looking at the patients in the general ward.

"Mom," Tzuyu whined and gave her a slice of apple. She also didn't forget to give a small piece of apple to Yeojin.

"Tzuyu-ah, you are already mature and I think you are ready enough to have a family yourself." She replied with her cracked voice. Tzuyu smiled lightly and took a seat beside her bed. She munched an apple and snuggled on her mother's pillow.

She missed her touch. Tzuyu's mother rubbed her hair slightly chuckling. "Hey, you have a child already." Tzuyu's mother teased her which made her laugh.

"Mom." Yeojin handed her the candy wrapper. She had finished munching the apple and wanted to eat the candy.

Tzuyu rubbed Yeojin's hair and threw the candy wrapper into the trash bin.

"Aigooo... Yeojin is a good eater." she praised her.

Tzuyu's phone suddenly vibrated and she took the phone from her pocket. The screen written with Cha Eunwoom's name surprised her. There was a long time since they were keeping contact.

"Mom, wait a minute, I have a call." Tzuyu left the ward hurriedly.

Tzuyu took a sip of cold americano in front of her, staring at the two people that invited her. She didn't bring Yeojin with her to the coffee shop and Yeojin was playing with her mother in the hospital bed. Her mother said that she also misses Yeojin so, she let Yeojin stay at the hospital.

She was there, facing the two lovebirds who were dating on the weekend. The opposite of her there they sat Cha Eunwoo and Dahyun who acted lovey-dovey. Ignoring the couple, she felt like a third wheel. She sighed rolling her eyes and cut their moment.

"Hey, what do you want to say, Cha Eunwoo?" She asked curtly to the one who can't act in a such place. They cleared their throat and back to their seat like a normal couple.

"What happened with your behavior? Fix it or you can't get a boyfriend!" Eunwoo bickered with her.

"What is your problem?" Tzuyu sighed in disbelief and shook her americano with a straw.

"Eunwoo oppa, you underestimate Eonni. She has a child already." Dahyun stood up for Tzuyu sounding like a sarcasm.

"Ohh? Really! I didn't know you are that fast." Eunwoo's jaw opened in disbelief.

"Here, Cha Mun Jeong Sunbaenim's number. She is waiting for you all this time." He landed a name card in front of her.

"Huh? I am not eliminated. I think she only accepts one." She looked at the name card and then she saw Eunwoo.

"Hey, she likes your style too. But you didn't come for her. I told her your story and for these times and yes, she is waiting for you. I heard that your mother has received surgery and Dahyun told me that you have already resigned from the company." He explained the situation in a paragraph like he used to.

"Woah... Daebak... I will be rooting for you too." Dahyun squealed beside him.

"Oppa the best." Cha Eunwoo then take a straw acted manly and slurped his coffee bragging about the scene. On the other hand, Dahyun snuggled at his shoulder happily.

"Really." Tzuyu held her smile not to burst into laugh hiding her excitement. 'Is it time for her again?'
