   "We are literally in the middle of nowhere,"

  "Oh my goodness, will you stop complaining," Yeji huffed.

   Hyunjin crossed his arms as the taxi stopped.

   "This is the house,"

  Hyunjin and Yeji looked out the window. It was more of a ranch.

   The house was two stories with lots of land around it.

   "Nope, I am going home," Hyunjin said.

  "No, you're not, let's go," Yeji said getting out of the car.

  Hyunjin huffed and got out.

  The front door to the house opened and woman came out.

  "Ah, you must be the Hwangs, I am Lucy Hart, but you can call me Ms. Lucy," she said.

  "Hi, I am Yeji Hwang, it is a pleasure to meet you,"

    "It is a pleasure to meet you too. You must be Hyunjin then, it is a pleasure to meet you,"

  Hyunjin smiled very small.

   "Ms. Lucy, I am going to head into town for a- oh you have to be kidding me," Felix said when he saw Hyunjin.

   "Oh, do you two know each other?" Ms. Lucy asked.

   "Unfortunately," Felix muttered.

   "Yes, we do," Hyunjin said.

   Ms. Lucy raised a brow.

   "Right, I am going to go into town to check out Yu's fabrics, maybe I can get ideas... or something,"

  The woman nodded, "Don't rush it, hun, it will come to you," she said.

   Felix nodded, "I will be back to help with dinner,"

   "Good, because Chan burnt water last night,"

   "I'm sorry, he burnt water?" Yeji questioned.

   "It is a talent, that is solely possessed by my nephew,"

  Felix hummed, "Okay, I'll be back, Chan is inside getting ready to feed the chickens and bring in Bob,"

    "Who is bob?" Hyunjin questioned.

  "Bob is a chicken," Felix said.

   "Oh... oh! Poor Bob..." Yeji said.

    Felix chuckled, "Alright, bye!"

  The blond rushed off.

     "So, Hyunjin, how did you and Felix meet?" Ms. Lucy questioned.

   "We met in Italy... Milan, when he was opening up his store there. He and his sister were shopping at a store I was at,"

   "Felix shopping? That is the first I've heard," Ms. Lucy joked, helping Yeji with one of her suit cases.

   "Does he not shop often," Yeji questioned.

  "Not really, he makes his own clothes and sometimes he'll go to smaller boutiques to buy stuff... thanks Jo for bring them up,"

  "Anytime Lucy,"

    "You guys know each other?" Yeji asked.

   "It's a small town, everyone knows everyone," Lucy said.

    The three walked into the house.

   "Alright, your rooms. Yeji, up the stairs first door to the left. Hyunjin, also upstairs, third door to the right. You guys settle in, are you guys hungry?"

  "No, thank you, we ate on the plane," Yeji said.

    "Alright, well if you are, help yourself or you can ask me," Lucy said.

   Yeji nodded and elbowed Hyunjin.

   "Thank you, Ms. Lucy," Hyunjin said.

   The woman smiled and nodded.

  "Actually are there any stationary stores in town?" Yeji asked.

  "Your dad mentioned you liked writing, there is, it is Shin stationary, one of the Shin girls is running it today I think,"

   "Okay, thank you,"

  "Oh, Hyunjin, your father also mentioned you like art and photography. I didn't know what mediums you use for your art, but I left a camera in your room. It is an old film camera from like the 90s, but it works. As for art, the is a craft store right next to Yu's fabrics, I'm sure if you ask Felix will take you,"

   Hyunjin nodded and gave the woman a slight smile.

  Lucy was about to say something else but there was a loud bang outside then a string of curses.

   "Uh oh, I think the chickens are attacking Chan again... I am going to take came of that, you guys relax,"

   The woman left the house rushed.

  "I want to go home," Hyunjin stated.

  "Too bad, we are here for the duration. Personally, I think it will be fun," Yeji said.

   "Oh yeah, so fun," Hyunjin muttered.

   The could not be any less fun.
