Daya took off her shoes, stepping unto the foyer with a tired Dayeon, grunting behind her about some shoulder aches. "We are home", Daya said, ignoring her sister's complaints.

"Oh oh, my grand babies", Seolran greeted from the sitting room's floor.

"Haemoni", Dayeon called, crumpling in front of the woman who scanned her with frightened eyes. "Yah, what's wrong?"

"My shoulders are killing me!!", she wailed out and Daya rolled her eyes, dropping her bag on a sofa and sitting beside it. "Where is eomma?", she tucked her legs underneath her.

"She is somewhere out there asking for a wrong package that was accidentally sent here", Seolran replied. She got on her feet with her hands on her knees, "I will be back. I bought some hot relief patches from town", she walked to the counter, going behind it and ruffling through the things she bought for the house.

"How did a package get to eomma in the first place for her to be out looking for the owner?", Dayeon asked, pulling her shirt off.

"It was outside the door when we got back from the market this evening", Seolran replied. She found the pack and walked out, "It only had Haryung-gu on it and uh.. the sender's name but not the receiver", she sat back down, pushing Dayeon's bra straps down.

"What was the sender's name?", Inquisitive Dayeon asked, moaning quietly when her grandma massaged her shoulders.

Seolran's eyes went upwards in thoughts. "Ah", she blinked, working her thumbs on the girl's stiff muscles, "Yoon Nari"

Daya shot up from the couch. "Where is mom?", and Seolran blinked again, "Down the street, looking for the real owner?"

"Shit", Daya muttered and ran out of the house.

Seolran looked at the girl she was massaging. "She is cursing more frequently these days, isn't she?"

"That's her roommate's name, haemoni. She told you guys about it that day. How could you forget?", Dayeon rolled her eyes, scoffing under her breath.

It was like a bright bulb lit beside the old woman's head. "Ah", she slapped Dayeon's back and the girl jumped away at the painful sting. "Yoon Nari. Aigoo", she got off the floor, rushing to the door.

Dayeon stared after her, holding her back. "What the fuck haemoni!!!!"

Seolran was out the house already when she said that.

Daya's slippers padded softly on the tarred roads as she walked down the streets with hurried steps. "Eomma!!!", she called out into the night. A few lights flicked on but she didn't care. "Where the fuck is she?"

Just one thing to do right.

"Aishh...", Daya was far from their house now but she couldn't find that busybody she called a mom. "Eomma!!!. Where are you?!!", she ran past blossoms and Damin was still nowhere to be found. If she misplaces that package, Daya swears she will kill her.

"Daya, Daya"

She glanced behind her, her brows jumping at her grandmother running towards her. "What are you doing out here running with those old legs of yours?"

Seolran breathed heavily as she got to the girl. "Yah, someone saw her walk into the next street. Let's go", she ran forward and Daya laughed, finding her runs pathetically cute. Seolran ignored whatever she was laughing at and ran to the next street with the girl on her trail.
