Yonghee: YONG!!!

Yonghee: Yong, Mom and Dad is here!

Mom: Small Yong, wake up now. I have a few gifts for you from Japan. I think you would love this.

Solar, woke up: What?? Eomma, Appa...

Yonghee: She's so hard to wake up.

Solar: Am I still dreaming?

**Slap**

Mom: Yonghee!!!

Yonghee: I'm just helping her. She's been sleeping for more than 10 hours.

Mom, held Sun's face: Are you alright?

Sun: Thanks Yong. I'm fine, Mom.

Yonghee: Eomma, do you know she's actually sleep talking? Hahaha! I took a video of it. Watch this.

**Video Plays**

Solar, whimpers: Mmm...Yul... Yuuul... I miss you.

**End of the Video**

Appa: Yong, who's mule? Y-yul? Yul?

Eomma: Might be her boyfriend. Are you in a relationship?

Sun: Huh?? I- I don't know.

Appa, raised voice: What do you mean you don't know?!

Sun: I have a strange dream. It feels real. I have two dreams in one sleep. First is at a coffee shop and the second one is at the hospital.

Mom: That's weird. But I also have experienced the same thing. I woke up twice. At the second time, I pinched myself multiple times to make sure I'm awake. But I couldn't remember no more the first dream.

Yonghee, looking at her phone: Maybe you're travelling through different dimensions.

Appa, crossed his arms: So, who's Yul?

Sun: She's...

Appa: a woman...

Mom: A WOMAN?!

Yonghee: Why? What's wrong with it?

Mom: I thought Small Yong is into boys.

Appa: ...

Sun: ...

Yonghee: Nowadays, you really just don't know what you really are. Not until someone will make you realize what you really want. Maybe Yong is just one of the spaghetti...

Mom: Spaghetti??

Sun: Huh?

Yonghee, smirking: Spaghetti! Straight at first but when it gets wet...

Mom and Dad: ...

Yonghee: Seriously?! You didn't get it? It means someone can make Yong soft. Hahahaha!

Dad: Yaaaaah! Enough! I get it. I get it! We're getting out of hand.

Yonghee: I mean you've experience romantic love! Someone can make you soft.

Mom, smile: I get it. Love is beautiful.

Appa: And so is our sunshine. So, nobody should hurt her. Now, tell me who's Yul?

Sun: I-

Yonghee: It's her girlfriend, obviously!

Mom, throws a pillow to Yonghee: Shut up!!

Sun: I don't know her yet. I couldn't remember her face. But I know her voice and how she looks like. But not her face. I... I can't remember her face.

Appa, holding his temple: Aaaaaaaah~

Yonghee: "It was a relief", Appa said to himself. Hahahaha!

Appa, looked at Yonghee furiously: You-

Mom: Stop that. Girls, change you clean up and change your clothes. Let's go out and eat.

Yongs: Naaaaaeee~

The Kim family enjoyed the rest of the day by shopping at the mall, eating at their favorite restaurant and relieving their stress at a spa.

At the spa...

Yonghee: Yong...

Solar: Mmm...

Yonghee: I'm still intrigued about your crazy dream.

Solar, sighed: Same.

Yonghee: Good for you. Mom and Dad easily accepted your girlfriend even if it was just a dream.

Solar: I, too, was shocked.

Yonghee: Haha! That's what you call "smooth af".

Solar: Smooth as fact it is. Hahaha!

Yonghee: Do you believe in the legend of the red thread of fate.

Solar: It's a legend.

Yonghee: What I mean is... What if that girl in your dreams is the one who's in the other end of your thread?

Solar: It could be but I think it's impossible to meet her.

Mom: It's possible if you believe in it.

Appa: Your mom meant that it's possible if you'll start looking for her. Are you all done? Let's go home?

Mom, holding onto Dad's arm: Let's go. The massage made me feel droooowsyyyyy.

Yonghee, held onto her Dad's other arm: Same. It feels so good~

The family is on their way to their car when Solar accidentally bumped to a stranger.

Solar: Oh! Oh! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Stranger: It's fine. I'm sorry.

Solar looked at the stranger for a while. The area isn't well lit so she couldn't really see who she bumped into.

Appa, opened his window: Are you coming or not?

Solar, ran towards the car: I'm coming.

At Solar's Bedroom...

Solar is staring at the ceiling and hoping that Yul's image will come out. But all she can see is the white ceiling. She closed her eyes and reimagined Yul's image.


Solar's POV

Yul has grey hair. She's beautiful and handsome as well. She has a low voice. Very fashionable, clingy and thoughtful. One of her best assets can be her hamster smile. Uuugh~ Her indian dimples and scrunching nose when she smiles is the most adorable thing. How I wish I can see it. She's pretty... Pretty annoying. Haha! Wherever you are, Yul, know that I'm on the other end of this string... Goodnight!
