"We have new neighbours." Jun said while finishing his breakfast.

"We should go and say hello to them." His mother said.

"I'm not going." Her husband said eating silently.

"Can you believe that he's actually a shy person?" Mrs Chou said pointing her husband.

"I know him better now. Shy Shy dad."

"I'm not shy."

"I'm grateful that my kids are not like you." His wife said making him pout.

"No, TzuYu is like him. She's shy to approach anyone." Jun said.

"I'm just waiting for my kid to comeback soon without breaking her bones." He said as he finished his food.

"I'm leaving. Take care." Jun said and kissed his mother's cheek before leaving.

Jun closed the main door behind as looked at the neighbourhood. No one was outside so he just shrugged off. He went inside the garage and opened the car door. He was about to drove off when he saw a girl coming out from the neighbour house.

She fixed her bag strap and headed toward the main road. Jun carefully followed her forgetting that he needed to go on work. He found the girl stopping a cab and hopped inside it. Jun shrugged off and drove off to his company.

"Hello." Mrs Minatozaki said as the door was opened.

"Oh, hello, you must be our neighbour." Mrs Chou said welcoming her inside.

"Yeah, we just shifted yesterday. So, I thought to say hello to the neighbours."

"Oh good, I was thinking the same in the morning. I thought to come at night with some food but you came before I could do." Mrs Chou said escorting her toward the couch.

"No, don't bother please." Mrs Minatozaki said taking her seat and put the paper bag on the couch.

"What is it?" Mrs Chou asked checking the paper bag.

"Cookies made by my grandson."

"Grandson? You don't look that old." She said exclaiming.

"Actually, he's only nine years old right now."

"And he made cookies?" Mrs Chou was still surprised.

"Yeah, he loves cooking. He is just like my daughter." Mrs Minatozaki said.

"Oh, so he's your daughter's son." She said nodding.

"Yeah, we have only a daughter." Mrs Minatozaki said and sighed.

"My daughter loves to cook too but now days, she's busy in her passion. Oh yeah, I have a son and a daughter." Mrs Chou said.

The ladies talked with each other for like hours. It was evening now and they were that much lost in their talking that they forgot that they needed to make dinner too.

"I'm home." Jun said opening the door.

"Oh, so early?" His mother asked.

"Yeah, we just had few meetings. I left rest for tomorrow." Jun said and bowed to the guest.

"This is my son, Jun and Jun, this is our new neighbour."

"Nice meeting you, aunty." Jun bowed once again.
