"Mina, YoonSeo, where is everyone? And why isn't everything arranged till now? Hey, you, come here." Kim DeiJi, the elder matriarch of the Kim family spoke, signaling a worker who was putting up flower arrangements at the entrance of their Mansion.

"You, what's your name? And who gave you this job? Give me their name so that I can call and tell them how incompetent the workers they sent are. Didn't I make it clear that I want all the decorations done before noon? And what's the time now, huh? My grandson is coming home after three years and this is what he'll come home to? Look at the mess you've created at the entrance. I don't know what or how you're going to do it. But I want everything done in an hour. Understood?"

The worker almost shit his pants at the threatening tone of DeiJi. The woman was seventy years old, but still held an aura of power and authority. And you have to be a fool to cross DeiJi. The worker managed to stutter out a reply and ran away to finish his work under the watchful eyes of DeiJi, who didn't want to leave any stone unturned for her favorite grandchild's return.

"Eomoni, please come and sit inside. You're not supposed to stand on your feet for a long time. Don't worry about the workers. I have asked Joon to keep an eye on them. He should be down in a few minutes." Kim Mi-Su, Deiji's daughter-in-law spoke as she guided her mother-in-law back to the living room.

"Tell Joon to make sure they're doing their work properly. You can never trust these people. They take your money but when it comes to doing what they're paid for, they do a half baked job. And I don't want any mistakes to happen today. And where is Mina and YoonSeo? Don't they know what day it is today?" DeiJi asked, taking the glass of water that Mi-Su offered.

"Don't worry, Eomoni, Joon will take care of everything. And Mina and YoonSeo are in the kitchen. I have asked them to make all of Taehyung's favorite food today. After all, my son is coming home after a long time. I can't believe that three years have passed already and our Taehyung-ie is coming back to us." Mi-Su spoke, getting emotional. She hasn't seen her son in three whole years ever since he went to London for his studies. But now, he was finally coming back home and she couldn't be happier.

"Now don't start crying like usual. Today is an auspicious day. And I don't want you to tarnish it with your tears." DeiJi scolded.

"These are happy tears, Eomoni. Your youngest grandson and my Prince is coming home. What more can I ask for?" Mi-Su spoke, wiping her tears.

"Waah, Taehyung-ie isn't even home yet and I can already see the favoritism starting. I am sure you are going to forget both me and Jin Hyung once that brat is here." Namjoon spoke, coming down the stairs with a wide smile on his face.

"I love all my sons equally, Joon. But my Taehyung-ie is coming home after a long time. Whereas I see both you and Jin everyday. So, don't be jealous if I pay a little more attention to him than you both." Mi-Su spoke with a mischievous smile.

"Namjoon, it's good that you're here. Did you contact Taehyung? Is his flight on time? And did you ask the driver if he has already reached the airport? I know Taehyung said 'No' to you going to the airport to pick him up. But I still think that either you or Jin should've gone to the airport. He hasn't been to Korea in a long time. And a lot has changed in these three years. He may not be familiar with all the roads." DeiJi spoke before Namjoon could answer his mother.

"You're worrying too much, Halmoni. Tae is not a small child who can't find his way home. And besides, he is not coming alone. The driver will be there. And yes, I have already spoken to him before he boarded the flight and it's on time. Infact, his flight should land in another hour. And I'll call him again once his flight lands. Happy?" Namjoon asked, sitting down next to his Grandmother.
