(THIRD PERSON'S POV)

They reached the asylum where Yeonwoo lived for years. It was a simple house-like. It may not be big in height but its wide. It was painted plain white. It has beautiful ornamental plants around it and you can see some flying butterflies on it. Its like a real life paradise.

As soon as they entered the gate, Nancy roam her sight around the area. No one wonder how wonderful this asylum where Yeonwoo grew up.

They walked few steps from the gate then they saw childrens playing on the plain green grassland. Its not so wide but it can occupy about 30 childrens.

The kids approached Yeonwoo and they hugged her.

"We miss you unnie!!" One of the child said while crying.

"I miss you more kiddos" She hugged them back.

"Why you didn't come back here last month?" A girl blurted.

"Ah-Um... I'm j-just busy from s-school" Yeonwoo scratch her nape.

"You often go here?" Nancy asked. Yeonwoo nodded with wide smile.

"Who is she?" A boy pointed Nancy.

"Her name is Nancy. Wonderful name it is, right? She's my-" Yeonwoo said but someone cutted.

"Dabin?" An old woman walked slowly to them.

"Halmoni?" Yeonwoo let go of the kids then ran to the old woman.

They tightly hugged each other.

"I missed you Halmoni" Yeonwoo let go of the hug with teary eyes. She really missed her Halmoni.

Even though they are not related in blood, their closeness keeps the bond between them. Halmoni took care of Dabin since the day Dabin was left outside the door of the asylum.

"Don't cry my Dabin. You still act like a child" The old woman chuckled as she wiped Yeonwoo's tears.

From afar, Nancy is confused about something. Dabin?

"Hi Nancy-unnie" A little girl approached Nancy.

"Oh..Hello baby girl" Nancy sat to level the height of the girl.

"You're so beautiful unnie" The girl hand-cuffed her own cheeks. It seems fangirling.

"You too baby... What's your name?" Nancy pinch the red cheek of the girl.

"Sophie" The kid smiled.

"What a beautiful name..." Nancy smiled.

"Thank you unnie" Sophie caressed again her own face.

"So, why are you here at the asylum?" Nancy asked. Sophie showed a half smile.

"My parents died from accident..." Sophie looked down.

"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have asked" Nancy hugged her.

"It's okay unnie" Sophie smiled. Nancy smiled to her.

"Unnie" Sophie called.

"Hmmm?" Nancy let go of the hug.

"Please take care of Dabin-unnie. She's a great unnie. She always talked about a girl to us. She's thankful that she met some friends. She's talking about someone, she call her Marshmallow. Do you know her?" Sophie asked.

"N-No.. I don't know her. She must be your unnie's new friend" Nancy smiled.

"Last month when she visited us last, she said to me that Marshmallow-unnie was a great girl but sometimes savage. If you will know her, please tell her not to be savage anymore" Sophie didn't smile at all.
