Another day, another problem, Jungwoo sighed as he put a bandaid on his arm, before putting his shirt on, hopefully covering the bandaid too. And it did, thankfully. He picked his bag up and swung it over his shoulder, walking to the door quietly.

It was still quite early, but Jungwoo decided he would leave for school early today. And he wouldn't risk pissing her off again. He closed the door behind him and sucked in the scent of the early morning breeze. He smiled.

He walked to the direction of school, but quickly realized that there was a white car just leaving from the front of their house. What the hell? He thought, frowning, clutching the handle of his bag. Jungwoo just watched the car turn the corner. Who was that?

"Good morning, hon." Jungwoo heard, he snapped his head to the other direction and saw the old lady from the convenience store holding a brown paper bag.

"Good morning, ahjumma." The teenager smiled, earning another smile from the elder.

"It's still early, you're going to school already?" She asked again, walking to her store, gesturing for Jungwoo to follow her, which he obeyed.

"I... Like early mornings." Jungwoo reasoned, that was one and the other, we already know.

"Oh," She cooed, pushing the door open to the small establishment. "Well, it is still pretty early, care to join me for a quick breakfast?" Jungwoo was about to reject because of embarrassment but she spoke again. "That would be a nice gift for my birthday."

"Happy birthday, ahjumma." Jungwoo answered, the old lady smiling and opening up another pair of doors.

"Thank you, Jungwoo-yah." She said, placing the bag on top of the table.

Jungwoo looked around, slightly lowering his guard down. He knows Ahjumma won't do anything harmful to him. She pulled the curtains open, the sky visible and putting a very beautiful scenery, Jungwoo was amused.

"Beautiful isn't it?" The old lady smiled, directing to the view.

"Very beautiful." Jungwoo breathed out, pulling out a chair for him to sit on. The Ahjumma did the same, opening up the bag and pulling out containers of delicious food.

"Like you." She chuckled slightly, amused when Jungwoo blushed slightly because of the compliment. "How are you and him?" Again Jungwoo blushed, because of what Ahjumma said.

"We're... Fine, ahjumma." The teenager answered, smiling as the old lady gave him a pair of chopsticks.

"He's really handsome." The old lady chuckled, watching how Jungwoo blushed madly and slightly nodded. "And it seems like he brings out the best in you. And that's great."

It was early in the morning and Yukhei was already pissed off. He kept biting his inner cheek as one of his classmates talked to him. Yukhei never really talked to her, and surprised the male when she neared him a while ago.
