on the third weekend of november, i brought mina to my hometown. it was my grandmother's 75th birthday, and i wanted her to meet my beloved family.

she was very happy, and was more excited than me. thinking about it, the last time i went home was when mina left for japan last year.

they were just about to prepare for the celebration when we arrived, and my brother jeonghan had already gave us the hotseat as he asks why the very popular prima ballerina was in town, and why i was with her. it was none of his business of course, so i ignored him and went to grandma instead for a hug.

she was so happy to see me, and i really missed her so much. she noticed mina behind me and looked at me with a smile. "and who might this beautiful lady be?" granny asked.

it was a fool of me to say so but i wasn't ready to tell her yet, nor am i going to be. "she's a friend of mine, halmeoni." i forced a smile. "her name's mina, and she's very much delighted to meet you." i said.

and i hope it's just me, i thought i just saw mina frown and glare at me in a split second.//
