"I'll be picking you up from daycare a little later than usual," Wolf told Winter when he dropped her off. "I have a meeting after school with my boss and coworkers so Jake wont' be able to babysit you,"

'It's most likely that meeting after Yoosun and Hyeongshin got beat by Eunjang,' Winter thought. "Okay Daddy, I'll see you later,"

Winter went about her usual daycare routine. She spent most of her playtime drawing. She decided that she wanted to repay Donald for helping her when Wolf had been sick, so she wanted to draw something for him.

She worked hard on her drawing. She spent a long time sketching and erasing until she was satisfied with the pose. Then she started coloring lightly to slowly build up her layers. The daycare workers were surprised by Winter's art skills and called her an art prodigy.

Once Winter was done, she realized there was still some time left until her father finished school. She really wanted to show her drawing to Donald so...she snuck out. After she had gotten lost last time she had snuck out, she had studied a map so that she'd know the locations of certain buildings.

It was a long walk, especially considering her little legs, but she eventually made it to Yeouinaru Office Building. She didn't know which room Donald was in, but she fortunately saw Kingsley and just quietly followed him without him knowing.

"Donald, I finished printing all of the papers for the meeting," Kingsley informed as he entered the office.

"Good, we'll hand it out to each school head," Donald said. "Are you aware that Wolf's daughter followed you?"

"I saw him in the hallway and knew to follow him to find you, Mr. Na," Winter said.

"And why would you be looking for me?" Donald inquired.

"Because I wanted to thank you for helping me before so I made you a drawing," Winter walked over to Donald's desk and placed the drawing on top for him to see.

Donald expected to see a typical child's drawing that was just a bunch of colorful messy scribbles. His eyes widened in shock once he saw Winter's art piece. It was a very well drawn and very detailed drawing of his mother, Sua Lee, hugging his child self. The two were smiling in the drawing.

"Donald, are you alright?" Kingsley asked, concerned about his boyfriend's shocked expression. He looked over at the drawing and was also stunned.

"Kid," Donald asked slowly. "Do you know who you drew?"

"I drew you and your mother," Winter answered. "Do you like it?"

"She died before you were even born," Kingsley spoke up. "And this version of Donald is from five years ago so you wouldn't have ever seen him this young. How do you know how both of them look like?"

'Oops,' Winter realized her mistake. 'I got so comfortable with my dad not questioning anything I say or do that I forgot that something like this wouldn't be normal,'

"Are you...her reincarnation?" Donald quietly asked.

"No," Winter shook her head. "This was just...a lucky guess,"

Donald could tell that there was more to it. He could easily push Winter and demand the truth about how she knew about his mother. He really wanted to demand an answer but he could easily see how bothered Winter was. He was not so cruel that he'd make a three year old even more distressed.

"I'm assuming that you snuck out without Wolf knowing again?" Donald changed the subject.

"I snuck out of daycare," Winter revealed. "Daddy was going to pick me up after his meeting but I wanted to give you my drawing,"
