The old lady walked toward us as she placed down the tray and Hyunsuk ran to her side as he hugged her strongly. I just stood there as an outcast starring at the two confused of what is happening.

"What took you so long?" The old lady asked. "I had some business to do." Hyunsuk said as he glanced at my side and I rolled my eyes. She smiled as she walked toward my direction. "And who is this fine young lady?" She asked with a smile on her face as she held my hands making me startled.

"W-Well....you see....." I stuttered as her touch made me uncomfortable. "A friend of mine." Hyunsuk said. Friend, what a good start.

"Oh really! Welcome here young lady, I guess this is going to take a different route and y-" "Okay grandma!! Hahaha....your herbs! Lets get them done and go inside." Hyunsuk said. "Oh, right!" The lady said as she walked back to the tray and walked inside.

Hyunsuk turned around to face me as he glared. "Don't think of doing anything funny, and don't get ahead of yourself." Hyunsuk said.

"But why is your granny here if she is a part of YG? Shouldn't she be lying in a fancy mansion surrounded by trained Cheetahs?" I asked as I crossed my hands. "Well.....she....she wants a peaceful life." Hyunsuk said. "P-Peaceful?" I was stunned as my lips froze.

Peace. Something I couldn't dare to think of. Not after what happened to us after trying to get it.

I zooned for few moments and Hyunsuk frowned his brows at me confused. "Peace....yeah peace...." I said as I started walking and he sighed as he followed me.

He stepped inside as he opened the door exposing the small house the lady lived in. It was simple, very simple. A small room that was a combination of a kitchen and a living room and beside it were other three rooms. Two bedrooms and one bathroom.

"Not fancy enough?" Hyunsuk asked in a sarcastic tone as he grabbed a chair and sat down. I looked around. Although the place was small, it looked modern and nice because of the decoration. It was my ideal house.

"No...it is nice." I said. Hyunsuk let out a chuckle and I only glared at him. "Nice? Really??" Hyunsuk continued laughing. "Why?" I asked him. I sat down across him and he stopped laughing as he glared at me.

"A diva would never get what that means." He said as he got up and walked toward the cabinet leaving me alone. I rolled my eyes. What was even special about a person as stingy as him?

I suddenly felt something thrown on my face, Hyunsuk threw an apron on me.

"If you want to stay here, you better start working." Hyunsuk said. "Working?" I repeated. "Yes, NOW." He said. I only rolled my eyes as I got up and wore the cloth then followed him outside. The old lady was harvesting some plants, lame.

"Gran, we are here to help." Hyunsuk said as he picked two baskets, handed one to me, and then started working. I sighed as I bent down and started working. "Oh no sweety! I can't let a guest do the work, specially not when your hand is harmed!" The old lady said. A smile was drawn on my face but it soon faded as Hyunsuk spoke. "It is okay gran, she said she wanted to help."

"When did I exactly say that??" I said in shock. "Oh that's so nice of you.....it is a lot of work here and I already feel burdened to make my grandchild work here........making his friend work too....I-AH!" The old lady suddenly cried. Hyunsuk dropped his basket as he ran toward her. "Are you okay??" He asked in a worried tone. "M-My....back......pain..." The lady said in a cracking voice. I felt something uncomfortable, pity? I didn't want to act kind, I knew how bad things can be if I ever act that way. Despite myself, words formed through my mouth.
