(Sooha's POV)

It is already ten and half when I wake up. I yawn, stretching my arms. I like weekends the best, no school no rush. After brushing and taking a bath, I walk downstairs. I see grandma alone in the kitchen, preparing lunch. I look around and pout when I do not find grandpa, it seems he has already left for the farm.

"Grandma." I pout, sitting down on the dinner table. "Give me breakfast."

"You know what time it is?" She do not turn to look at me as she started nagging as usual.

"It is already eleven! The sun is blazing! You're not a five year old kid who do not have any responsibility! How can you be this lazy?"

She keeps scolding me but still brings a plate filled with scramble eggs to the table, keeping it near me while pouring a glass of milk. I smile when I see the eggs, already reaching out for it.

"Use your chopsticks!"

I winch lightly when I feel a slap on the back of my head. I pout again, reaching out for a pair of chopsticks. My grandma is even more strict than my mom, it is like she used to serve the military instead of grandpa.

"Finish eating quickly." Grandma calls from the kitchen. "I need you to do something."

"Bring lunch for grandpa?" I ask after gulping a mouthful of my milk, because I know she would scold me again if I were to speak with food in my mouth.

"No, I need to go to the farm. I will bring it with me." She says as she brings a big tiffin to the table and closes the lid. I crane my neck to peek at it, curious to what is inside.

"Grandma, what is this?"

"Fishcake."

"Yayy! All for me?" My eyes light up instantly, signalling at the box. I love fishcakes.

"Its not for you." She slaps lightly on my hand that attempted to reach for the box, glaring at me. I pout, slumping on my seat sadly as I bite on my scramble eggs.

"There are still many left. You can have later." She rolls her eyes and I light up again. She shakes her head, sighing.

"Now eat quickly and go give this to the Lee's." She says before walking back to the kitchen.

"WHAT!" I whip my head to where she went, eyes bulging wide, unable to believe my own ears. I have never prayed this hard for it to turn out that I just misheard, nothing more. But when do god ever listen to me?

"You heard me right." She says, luckily not bothering to look at me. Otherwise she would have been definitely suspicious about these reactions.

"I don't want to." I mumble, being stubborn "Why don't go?"

"You know I can't. I need to go help grandpa in the farm."

"Why can't I go to the farm instead?" I whine, kicking my feet in a light tantrum.

"Don't be a kid." She glares at me sternly. "Its just our next door neighbour."

I huffs but I cannot do anything but pout again.
