The silence of the empty house was interrupted as the sound of the phone ringing echoed through it. Pamela nervously licked her lips as the phone she held continued to ring with no answer.

Lonna’s POV

Suga held his jacket over his and Lonna’s head as they ran through the heavy rain. They quickly took shelter under a nearby store roof. As Suga tried to shake some of the rain off his coat, Lonna looked worriedly at her watch.

Pamela’s POV

Pamela felt like her heart was going to stop beating as she slowly hung up the never answered phone call. She held her cellphone tightly in her hands as she wondered why no one was picking up. “Are you calling home?” Mr. Min asked her.

Pamela was still lost in thought as she vaguely answered him. “Yea, but it seems they’re both out.”

“We should have brought him with us.”

Pamela’s eyes snapped wide open. “Huh?”

“Yoongi. He should be here to introduce himself.” For some reason Pamela’s mind drifted to more of grandmother’s words. Maybe because I’m old and think too much…those two kids…are about to be siblings in name, but when you get down to it, they’re not related by blood.

A feeling of dread came over her. “Honey, Lonna…” What she had to say was interrupted by Mr. Min’s cellphone ringing.

“Hold on, let me take this.” He said as he answered the phone.  “Hello?” Pamela listened curiously to him talk. “Huh?”

Lonna’s POV

Lonna wrapped her arms around herself and rubbed her arms, trying to warm herself up to stop her shivering. Her hair and clothes had gotten soaked regardless of Suga using his jacket as a shield. She lightly bounced up and down to keep her body moving, as she looked up and down the street. Suga ran up to her holding a container out to her. “This soup will warm you up.” His teeth chattered together as the rain that had soaked his body chilled him.

As Lonna grabbed the soup from him he tried to shake the water from his blonde hair with his cold hands. Hearing Lonna shiver, he opened his coat and pulled her against him, gently rubbing her arm, trying to warm her.

Currently, the area is receiving heavy rain. The newscaster’s voice came from the small tv just beside them.Every hour it rains more than 4 inches, causing serious disasters. The high tide has turned many places into water country. This heavy downpour has caused some trains to stop running. Reporting to you from the news. Suga and Lonna looked at each other worriedly.

Pamela’s POV

“Didn’t I assign it to you? Why wasn’t it taken care of?” Mr. Min said angrily. Pamela didn’t realize that she was holding her breath. She had listened, hoping it was Suga calling his father, but now she didn’t know how to feel that it wasn’t. Mr. Min looked sadly over to Pamela who was staring non-stop at her phone, as if she could will it to ring. “Okay, I’ll be back tonight.”

Since the phone hadn’t ringed like she had hoped, Pamela had dialed Lonna’s cell number. “Sorry.” Mr. Min said interrupting her and making her jump. She hung up the phone quickly. “There’s an emergency. I need to go back tonight.” He said apologetically.

“It’s ok. It’s work. Can’t be helped.” Pamela said trying to hide her emotions behind her smile.

“But…you don’t get to come to your mother’s very often.” Mr. Min said. “Do you want to stay an extra night and come back tomorrow?”
