"Daughter, go take the tools to the neighbors," Euigeon handed the suitcase with the tools to his daughter.

"Go yourself. Why me?" Yunjin was not happy about this task. She had never met neighbors and was very shy.

"Because only Dowon's daughter is at home. It will be strange if I come when she is home alone."

"Hm-yes..." Yunjin sighed. There was logic in father's words. She quickly got dressed and carried the heavy suitcase to the house opposite.

Plucking up courage, she knocked. At first no one opened it for her and she was about to breathe out a sigh of relief, but the door still opened.

"Dad took tools..." Yunjin raised her head and met Kazuha's eyes.

They stood there for about a minute without saying anything. Kazuha stood and waited for Yunjin to speak, because she was not going to start first. Yunjin, who did not expect such a meeting, did not know what to say or where to start the conversation.

"Dad took the tools and asked to return them," Yunjin finally collected her thoughts and handed over the suitcase. Kazuha immediately picked it up and almost dropped it due to its weight.

"That's all?" Kazuha asked.

"Do you live here?"

"No. This is Chaewon's house. Are you done?"

"I wanted..."

"You're done," the door slammed in Yunjin's face. She sighed, trying not to cry, and went back home. Kazuha seemed a little different to her. As if she was a little not sober. Perhaps it seemed to her, because they had not communicated for so long and had not even looked at each other. But still, something haunted her. Does Kazuha not only smoke, but also drink?

Kazuha left the tools at the entrance because she couldn't carry them anywhere. She returned to the room and sat on the sofa, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Neighbours?" Chaewon asked. Kazuha nodded. "What they wanted?"

"The tools were returned."

"Your face looks like you saw someone whose name we can't say outloud," Eunchae noted.

"She's your new neighbor, Chaewon," Kazuha chuckled and shook her head.

Chaewon immediately choked on her lemonade. The spray flew out and hit Kazuha right on the face. The others were also in shock. This could be seen by how quickly Eunchae turned her head towards Yunjin and how Sakura froze, stopping eating the chips.

"Sorry," Chaewon immediately wiped her face with the sleeves of her sweater. "And for meeting her too."

"You didn't know who it would be. So don't apologize," Kazuha sighed.

"You won't come to me now?"Chaewon looked at her.

"Why?" Kazuha was surprised.  "She doesn't live here. You are just neighbors. So I don't care."

"Well, good then," Chaewon was happy.

There was another knock on the door.

"I'll open it," Sakura went this time and then returned with the guys.

They quickly set the table. It was pizza, burgers, ice cream and several bottles and cans of low-alcohol drinks to properly overcome the hangover that everyone except Sakura still had.

"I saw Yunjin," Beomgyu whispered to Sakura. "Was she here?"

"She's Chaewon's new neighbor," Sakura answered him. "She  came to return the tools. Guess who opened the door?"
