This is dedicated @yanagirenjiidealtype. I don't normally do part 3 but because you requested for it, I'll grant your wish 😉 Thanks for reading this book!

You scrutinized yourself in the mirror from head to toe, buttoning your long sleeved black blouse. You tied your hair into a ponytail and tucked the dangling hair strands behind your ears. Your lips curved into a smile as you were satisfied in your appearance.

Without further ado, you grabbed your sling bag and ambled out of your bedroom. Sounds of your mother's knife on her wooden butcher block could be heard as you sauntered nearer to the kitchen. You peeked your head and noticed your mother's willowy figure.

"Are you preparing dinner for later?"you blurted out.

Your mother jolted in place and shot her head at you. Her gaze softened when she saw you. She continued chopping the meat into cubes.

"Your father is coming home around dinner and you might feel hungry after sending Hyungwon off at the airport,"she responded.

You nodded. "Will you be okay without Hyungwon?"she asked.

You averted your gaze away from your mother. You aren't fine without Hyungwon by your side. A week after the graduation night, he revealed that he had to fly to London as his parents were there to run a business. Since Hyungwon was becoming a young adult, he decided to help his parents with their business and learn something new. You respected his decision even though it would take long for him to come back to Korea or never.

"I have you and Appa,"you smiled.

Your mother chuckled. "You should go and meet Hyungwon now."

"Okay,"you pecked a kiss on her cheek. Your mother watched as you exited the kitchen and when you were out of her sight, she resumed cooking.

You held onto the ice americano, eyes scanning the cafe every minute to find a familiar lanky figure. Your gaze landed onto the untouched plastic cup of the ice americano opposite of you. Your lips curved into a warm smile as you started to reminisce the years when you were blind.

You tasted variety of food and drinks but never knew how they looked like. Yes you were blind at the age of 10 but as you grew up, you experienced new taste congenial to your teenage taste bud. Sometimes after school, Hyungwon would bring you out to different places to let you try new food, dessert and beverage. Now, you didn't have to depend on Hyungwon.

As you shot your head up, your lips parted abit seeing the beanpole entering the cafe with his brown cashmere coat and hard shell luggage. It has been a week already and yet you couldn't get over how dazzling your best friend looked. You blinked when you realised where your thoughts were headed to.

You raised your hand up to catch Hyungwon's attention. He smiled while pulling his luggage with him, plopping down onto the padded seat infront of you.

"Did you wait for very long?"he asked.

You shook your head. "Not really. I brought you americano."

"Thanks,"he said and sipped down the beverage. "I really hope we keep in contact,"he added.

You frowned. You didn't expect him to chat with you regularly because you knew he was going to be busy but at the same time, you wanted to know how he was coping in an unknown environment.
