DAIYA'S POV
-At the airport-

-Daiya: Are you sure that you need to leave? Is there any chance for you to stay?
-Lisa: We have already talked about it... (smiles) I'm gonna go abroad to study photography... Here, I won't have the same chances to chase my dream...
-Daiya: (sighs and looks down) I haven't returned the favor yet...
-Lisa: Which favor? (confused)
-Daiya: I told you that I would be the one protecting you one day... I guess that it won't be possible now... (chuckles)
-Lisa: (giggles) You don't need to protect me... That was something you said when we were kids...

-Daiya: Still

-Daiya: Still... I'm really thankful for your help... (smiles) You know that I didn't have it easy, so having you by my side was really a blessing... Thanks Lisa (smiles)
-Lisa: You don't need to make it such a big issue... We have always been friends (smiles and hugs you)
-Daiya: (hugs her back) Good luck out there...
-Lisa: Yeah, thanks (smiles) I wish the best for you here too... (waves and starts walking away)

I stay still seeing how she's walking away to pick her flight.... My best friend is going abroad to study and become a photographer... What am I going to do until she returns?

I guess that it's already time for me to return back home... I left grandpa alone. I start walking back to the outside of the airport and call for a taxi.

-Time skip until you return back home-

I return back home and spot a man leaving our house... Who is he? I didn't know that we were having visits today...

I enter and head to the living room where grandpa is readinh some papers... What is he doing?

-Daiya: What are you doing, grandpa?
-Grandpa: I'm just checking that the contract is correct...
-Daiya: The contract for what? (takes a seat)
-Grandpa: The contract of my retirement and you becoming the new heir of "Baek's Restaurant" (smiles)
-Daiya: "Baek what? (confused)

 -Daiya: The contract for what? (takes a seat) -Grandpa: The contract of my retirement and you becoming the new heir of "Baek's Restaurant" (smiles) -Daiya: "Baek what? (confused)

-Grandpa: Baek's Restaurant... (chuckles)
-Daiya: We had a restaurant?!
-Grandpa: Well... It belonged to your parents... But it had been closed since they died... You know that I've never worked in a restaurant since I have always been a gardener... (places a hand on your shoulder) But since I won't work anymore, someone has to do it now... And I think that it would be amazing if you could bring back the restaurant... Don't you think?
-Daiya: But grandpa, I have no idea of how to handle a business... Plus, I'm still studying...
-Grandpa: I know (smiles) But I have some savings... I want you to assist a school where you'll learn how to run a business...
-Daiya: G-Grandpa, are you sure? Why would you spend your savings on me when you could spend it in something better? (smiles) You don't need to worry about me, I'll manage somehow...
-Grandpa: Listen to me Daiya, I won't be here forever... (smiles) This is my only way to leave peacefully later on... I would like to leave knowing that my dear grandson is being someone successful...
-Daiya: Grandpa... (looks down) Then, I'll become someone really successful! I'll study hard and then I'll return everything to you... (bows) I promise!
-Grandpa: I know you will (smiles and pats your head) For now, how about if you start practicing how to cook?
-Daiya: Is that a new way of asking me to prepare the lunch? (chuckles)
-Grandpa: (laughs) Exactly... By the way, how was it? Lisa left the country today, right? Did you cry? (teasing you)
-Daiya: Why would I? (chuckles) I know that she's just chasing her dream... I wish the best for her (smiles)

-Grandpa: (smiles) You are maturing, huh? (laughs) I'll grab the alcohol and we'll drink today to celebrate!-Daiya: But grandpa! I never drank before!-Grandpa: Bah, no one will ever know

-Daiya: But grandpa! I never drank before!
-Grandpa: Bah, no one will ever know... (chuckles) Plus, it is always really fun to see the first reactions of people drinking...
-Daiya: (rolls your eyes and laughs) Grandpa...

Well, let's say that after drinking with grandpa I had to head to sleep skipping dinner and so... How could I get this drunk on my first time? I guess that I'm still a kid...

-Time skip two months later-

-Sana: Good morning Daiya (smiles and takes a seat)
-Daiya: Morning Sana... (smiles and yawns)
-Sana: You haven't slept today neither?!
-Daiya: I did... I slept around three hours?
-Sana: Three hours?! (surprised)
-Daiya: I was practicing at the kitchen... (chuckles)
-Sana: You need to sleep to pay attention at class... Damn it... Plus, you could also get sick... You need to rest, take it easy... (smiles)

-Daiya: (nods) I'll try~ But I don't promise anything

-Daiya: (nods) I'll try~ But I don't promise anything... (chuckles and stretches) Today will be a nice day...
-Sana: You always say the same thing...
-Daiya: Well, Dahyunie is coming over here... (chuckles)
-Sana: W-What?! Dahyunie? (nervous)
-Dahyun: Good morning oppa, Sana eonnie... (smiles and bows)
-Sana: Angel! (gets up and leaves)
-Daiya: (giggles) Don't worry, that means good morning translated to our language... She's just really happy to talk with you... (smiles)
-Dahyun: I see... (smiles) Well, I'll be heading to my class... Have a nice day!
-Daiya: Yeah, have a nice day you too (smiles and heads to your class)

I head to my class and sit next to a boy named Seohyun. If I'm honest, I don't know too much about him... He's always really silent and I never see him around during the breaks... How mysterious...

-Teacher: Good morning everyone... Take your seats, the class is about to start. I want you all to open your books at page 23...
-All: Yeah...

The class started. If I'm honest, at first I wasn't sure about transferring... But it didn't result as bad as I thought it would be... I met Sana who is really nice and has a crush on our dongsaeng Dahyun.

Also, I'm learning everything needed to create a business and make it work... I think that I accomplish with grandpa's expectations... And that's all I ask for, so I'm really happy. Today will be a a great day.
