"Hey mom! What's for dinner?" I chirped as I ran closer to my mother at the kitchen counter. It was a breezy night and stars are visible and are everywhere in that width of the night sky. (i swear she's just five, i promise ㅠㅠ –author)

It has been a long day for my mother. She has just arrived after her long business days with Mrs. Jeon. They are partnered together for a restaurant business my mom's been busy with and Mrs. Jeon will be our sponsor! Yay!

Mrs. Jeon is such a pretty woman, next to my mother of course ㅋㅋㅋ and she's really sweet and kind, she made me some cookies as a gift! Her and my mother are closest friends since elementary — that's what my mom told me, and now they're business partners too! Their friendship is so strong, I wish I have some friends that will last for lots of years.

Oops, I guess I shared a lot. I'm such a talker hihi ( • ▽ •; )

Back to reality, my mom is cooking something really delicious. Yes, I haven't tasted it yet, but it already smells so good & mom cooked it so I'm 109% sure it is so~ yummy!

"I'll be cooking something special today, it'll be "Jjang Restaurant's" special 'must-try' on the menu too — soybean paste stew!" She said with a warm smile, but my smile was wider. Wanna know why?

Because it's my favorite!

"Yaaaaaayyy! My favorite food! Omma, thank you, I love youuuu!!!" I said, rushing around the kitchen counter to reach my mom's waist for me to wrap my arms around. My mom is totally the best!

She chuckled as she caress my hair, "My Yeeunie must be really hungry, ey?" I nodded and pouted, which ended up her pinching my little cheeks (and it hurts, aww ㅠㅠ)

We both exchanged our giggles while she cooks. Since she is still cooking, I decided to grab our color-coded plates.

Yes, we have assigned plates! Mine's purple with kittens designed on it, mom's pink with flowers, and my dad's navy blue with some anchors!

Though, my dad's not here anymore.

Sigh, I wish you were still here, dad.

Okay, drama's over. I grabbed my little ladder for me to reach the drawer where our spoons, forks, chopsticks,  plates, and glasses are. I opened and grabbed our plates and chopsticks. My mom won't allow me to grab a glass and use it because I might end up breaking it and my arms are too small to reach it, which is why I have a plastic water bottle which is inside the refrigerator that I grabbed next.

As I've done placing all the plates and utensils, my mom's soybean paste stew is finally ready! Aah~ the smell! I'm starving and excited to gobble it up! ><

"Time to eat, Yeeunie!" She said as she placed some viand on my plate while I placed some rice. I shoved my spoon on it, blew off the heat a little, and took a bite...

And it was so, soo good!

God, thank you for giving mom such magical hands!

We both kept on eating and sometimes we share some jokes and laughed. My mom also told me that after eating, I can play at the public park — which is just at the front of our house and there are still people from our neighborhood that can be seen — before I wash up so that I can sleep very early after being tired of playing. Also, she'll visit Mrs. Jeon for some talks before the night ends, she's our neighbor by the way!
