"I don't want to go back to the city yet" Keito said.

"Why not just stay here then?" Dahyun suggested to Keito

"You need to go back Keito. You must fulfill that promise"

"I know dad"

"You need to start packing Keito. You'll go back to the city tomorrow, right?"

"Yes mom."

Meanwhile in Jeongyeon's household

"WHAAAAAT?!"
"No way!"

"Our decision is final. Momo's mom and dad also agreed to that deal"

"But we're still attending school at that time"

"It doesn't matter. As long as you both are on legal age we'll proceed with the marriage"

"But-"
"After graduation?"
"Come on mom, say something"

"I agreed to your dad Jeongyeon. As long as you both are already on legal age"

"This is not fair"

Jeongyeon walks out of the room

"..."

"Soon, he'll understand me" Jeongyeon's dad said

"..."

"..."

"I'm going back to the city sis"

"Why? You just got back yesterday"

"I'm fed up with mom and dad"

"Watch your mouth Jeongyeon!"

"But, this is just not fair"
"I'm going to be married after I graduate?"
"That's just ridiculous"

"I'm sure that can still be changed"

"Dad's decision is always absolute. I don't think that will be changed"

"What are you going to do now?"

"I'll somehow manage to stop that marriage"

"I'll give you my full support. I'll also persuade dad for you"

"Thanks sis"

Keito is going back to the city again since class is going to start again

"Bye mom,dad, and sis~"

"Take care of yourself on the city..." His mom said

"Be sure to look out for Tzuyu, Keito" His dad said

"I'll be sure to take care of my self"

"Be careful not too fall in love with that girl lil bro"

"As if I would"
"Anyway, Goodbye for now~ See you~"

Keito waved at everyone before going inside the train

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Tzuyu we're going to visit your dad tomorrow. We'll also check our old house and see how is it doing"

"Okay mom~"
"I want to show you something by the way mom"

"What is it?"

"This is dad's handwriting right?"

Tzuyu showed the notebook to her mom

"Yes, why?"

"Read it and see for yourself"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"What is this?" Tzuyu's mom asked

"I also don't know mom, that's why I'm asking you"
"To think that you also don't what is this"

"That's weird, I really know nothing about this letter"

"Do you think the person that is being described here will come looking for me?"

"I don't know..."
"Since I know nothing about this letter and that kid, I don't what'll happen"
"Who knows maybe that kid is looking for you or maybe he's around you but he doesn't want to reveal himself yet"

"Hmmmm"
"Anyway, thanks for the talk mom"
"On a second thought I want to meet the person on this notebook"

"Do you have someone you like right now?"

"Eh?"

"Just be sure that you're always ready when the time comes that you meet that person on your notebook"

"Ready about what?"

"Secret~" Her mom smiled at her

The next day when they visited the cemetery...

"I really miss dad"

"I miss him too, Tzuyu"

"It has been 7 years now since dad died"

suddenly a man at his mid 40's joins their conversation

"He was a really good friend of mine"

"Thank you for always taking care of my husband while he was still alive"

"Hahahahaha, If I remember correctly he was the one who's always taking care of me"

"..."

"I'll take my leave then. I just passed by to drop some flowers since it's his death anniversary"

"Thank you sir."

"No problem."

The stranger leaved

"I think I know him"

"Huh? It has been years since we have met a person while visiting your dad's tomb"

"I'm not sure though"
"Anyway mom I think I got a hint on who was the person on the notebook"

"Really?"

"Yep, I think it's one of my classmates"

Keito's dad finally got back home after visiting his close friend

"I'm home~"

"Welcome back dear~"

"I just met Tzuyu and her Mom when I passed by the cemetery"
"Tzuyu sure grew up as a fine woman"

"Really?"
"What do you think of her?"

"I think Keito needs to be careful while looking out for her"

"I'm really going to tease him if he dares fall in love with that girl hahahahaha" Dahyun said.

The classes finally started again after the long winter break

"I missed you Tzuyu~ "

Chaeyoung hugged Tzuyu

"I missed you too Chaeyoung~"

"How about me? You didn't miss me even one bit?" Jeongyeon asked the two

"Nope"

"Nope"

The two both laughed at the same time

"Whyyyyyy?!"

Their teacher suddenly enters their room

"Okay everyone sit down."
"I hate to say it since it's just your first day after the winter break but i'm already assigning you guys a project"

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeh?!" Everyone reacted that way because of what their teacher said

"Calm down everyone"
"I'll be posting the groupings later just look it up"
"That's all for today"

They looked up their groupings on their lunch break and the res
