It was midday on a Saturday afternoon. The sun shone brightly as it reflected off a moving van next to tulip apartment building.

A 27 year old man stepped out of his car, a 6 year old boy by his side. The had boxes in each of their hands and on the ground beside them.

"Alright, we'd better start moving them inside" said the man "are you sure you can carry that Jin?"

The little boy nodded his head enthusiastically and gave his dad a smile. "Yes papa"

"That'll be 40 bucks plus tips" said the van driver "cash or card?"

"Wait, you're leaving already?" asked the man, as he took his wallet out of his pocket "please can you help bring the stuff in?"

"There are some things that even i can't carry"

"Nope" said the man, shoving the card machine in the dad's hands "my service is done here"

"Yes but on the web-"

"Just fucking pay already jeez" interrupted the man "i have other things to do"

The dad frowned before paying, making sure to glare at the man while doing so.

"Bye" the driver left before the dad could say anything else, leaving the two stranded with heavy boxes.

"What happened papa?" asked Jin, noticing his dad's frustration "where did he go?"

"That man was supposed to help us bring everything in" sighed the dad "but its ok Jin, we can try ourselves"

"Are you sure papa?" asked Jin "those boxes look heavy"

"Well we can atleast try our-"

"Hey you ok?" The dad turned to see a young man and a young girl standing behind them "do you want some help?"

"Oh my gosh yes please" said the dad "if its no problem"

"Not at all" said the man, moving towards the boxes "that company is a scam and overpriced"

"They did that to me too"

"Oh" said the dad "i just used them cause they had good reviews"

"Ah i did too" said the man "turns out they paid people to say that"

"I should have done more research" sighed the dad "then we wouldn't be in this situation"

"Hey don't blame yourself" said the man "its not your fault"

"Thanks" said the dad "that means a lot"

"I'm Jeno by the way" said the man "me and my daughter Rosie moved in a couple of months ago"

"Ah its nice to meet you" said the dad "I'm Jisung and this is Jin"

"Thank you so much for offering to help us"

"Its no problem" laughed Jeno "now lets get started shall we?"

Thirty minutes later

"And that's the last of them" Jeno, Jisung, Rosie and Jin all fell onto the sofa in a tired state. "Well that was fun"

"I don't think saying thank you is enough" said Jisung, sitting up "How can i repay you?"

"You really don-"

"I can take you both out for dinner" exclaimed Jisung "please Jeno. Its the least i can do"

"Ah i dunno" said Jeno, as Jisung pouted adorably at the other "alright then, you have a deal"

"Excellent!" cheered Jisung, a big smile on his face "i will ask a round about good restaurants and text you a date"
