It's been two weeks since Yunho went to kindergarten. Jiyeon is getting busy with her work. She needs to attend at least two meetings a day. Of course she is very tired, not only has to take care of her work but also has to take care of Yunho. But she felt all that was very meaningful at the age of 25. To have both is very difficult these days.

Jiyeon got ready to sleep after tucking Yunho to sleep. Suddenly, she heard the door to her room open, revealing Yunho.

"Mama..." His voice slowly called his mom.

"Why baby? I thought you were sleeping? Are you okay? Need something?"

"I woke up and can't sleep again after that. I'm looking for my Spideyho but I remember I left it at kindergarten and I can't sleep without him." He walked closer to his mom.

"Because of that?"

Yunho nodded slowly. "Can I sleep with you?"

"Sure, come here." She patted the mattress next to her.

Yunho climbed on his mom's bed.

"Let me hug you. Sweet dream, hun."

Today was their day off, so they decided to go out. Jiyeon brought Yunho to Kidzania and they stopped by at a café to get cake. Hongjoong didn't get along since he wasn't feeling well so he stayed at home.

While they were eating, Yunho noticed a boy outside the cafe looking into the cafe. He looks unkempt and his clothes also look dirty. His age maybe around Yunho.

"Mama, look at that boy." Yunho told his mom.

"Why?"

"He looks hungry. He keeps looking at the food."

"Do you want me to buy food for him?"

"Can we?"

"Sure, finish this while I order food for him."

Yunho nodded and ate his cheese cake. Jiyeon ordered pasta, red velvet cake and chocolate milk for take away. To give to that little boy. After paying everything, she and Yunho left the café. They approached that boy.

"Hi, are you hungry?"

That boy looked scared but his eyes looked at the paper bag held by Jiyeon.

"Don't be afraid, we are not bad people."

His eyes blinked looking at Yunho and Jiyeon alternately.

"What is your name?" Jiyeon try once again.

"M-Mingi."

"Okay Mingi. How old are you?"

"Five."

"You are the same age as me. I'm five too. I'm Yunho and this is my mom."

Mingi is silent. He didn't react anything.

"Why are you here? Where are your parents?"

Mingi shook his head. And then he spoke. "My mom doesn't want me anymore, she doesn't give me food. I was hungry so I went out to find food but I forgot the way home. I walked too far."

"When was the last time you ate?"

"I only ate sausage and chicken nuggets yesterday. Someone gave it to me."

"How about today?"

Mingi shook his head.

"Where do you sleep?"

"Any place I can."

"I bought you food. Here, take this." Jiyeon handed Mingi the paper bag she was holding.
