Minju's POV

Embracing the cold breeze I walked my way home, disappointed that I can't even give mom her birthday present. I came home from work and I'm really tired right now.

If only I had enough money.....

Noticing that the lights are still up, I silently opened the gate.

I opened the door and saw my Mom, sitting on her favorite chair while sleeping. I went near her and whispered "Happy birthday Mom. I'm sorry, I didn't even had the chance to celebrate it with you. Promise, I will make it up next time. Sleep well mom, I love you" I kissed her forehead.

The last time that we celebrated her birthday was years ago. *sigh*

I walked towards my room.

Wait--

Why are there foods and a paper bag in the table?

Yujin's POV

"Did you got her address?" I tapped the paparazzo in the shoulder. We've met secretely since I had someone to follow and for the sake of it, I hired this one to do it for me.

"Yes Miss, here it is" he handed me a card with a written adress in it. Hmm it looks like a small village near here.

"Are you sure about this?" I slightly doubt him. Maybe he got the wrong person.

"yes miss" he nodded. He should tell the truth or else I'll crack his bones.

"This is her right? I followed her since yesterday. Someone told me to do so" he showed me a picture of her.

Someone?

"Who's that someone?" I asked him. This someone might be looking over her. Tch anyways, I don't care. I'll just do my job this afternoon.

"Here's your share. Don't you dare tell anyone about this or else, you'll know what will happen" I leveled my two fingers in my eyes and leveled it to his'.

"S- sure miss" he turned his back away and started to run.

Psh, fool.

Now, where should I go?

Ah yeah, that accessory shop.

I know some popular shops here and we even own some, it's easy to find a necklace like those.

Why am I even doing this?

Pity. Yeah, freaking pity.

*krriingg

[Hello master Yujin]

Prepare a golden necklace with a heart shape pendant. I'm going to get it now.

[Right away, Master]

I ended the call and went directly to my car. I like being called 'master'

*after 10 minutes*

"Where is it?" I immediately asked upon reaching the shop.

"Here it is, Master" the staff gave me a box. I opened it, hmm looks exactly as what I've ruined earlier. This is worth thrice more than what the transferee had.

I put it on a paper bag and went to take out for foods in the restaurant.

A bucket of chicken, bulgogi , galbi , dak galbi and senseollo. Maybe these are enough.

After I ordered those, I went to the address that the paparazzo gave.

I parked my car a house away from the main address. I went out of my car together with the foods.

Should I proceed or not? I'm Ahn Yujin the great, therefore I shouldn't be doing these things.

I went back to the car again.

Aish, it's my fault and I know that I did wrong. Psh, I'll be doing this just for now.

Fine!

I knocked at the gate. Is the transferee here? Why won't she open it? I can't freaking stand for too long!

"Wait up. Coming" I heard a voice coming towards the door. She then walked outside.

"Oh hello dear, are you Min's friend? She's still not here yet" she looked at me and I must say that she looks exactly as that transferee.

"She's not my frie - - . I mean yes, yes I am" I should keep calm in a situation like this. Darn this guilty feeling.

Just by looking at her mom, I suddenly remembered mine.

"It's already 5, maybe she's on her way now. Let's get inside first" she guided me inside their house. It's quite small for a brave girl like her huh?

"I heard that it's your birthday today ma'am. I just want to give this to you since I'm Minju's friend and I owe you a lot for taking care of a good friend like her" I almost puke at every words I say. Tch, I should be nice to an old lady.

"Minmin really loves to share everything about us hm? Thank you very much dear. We don't usually  celebrate my birthday. We can't afford any of this but still thank you" her smile is so precious. I'm just looking at her while she recieves the paper bags with foods.

I hope mom's still here.

"Ah here's my small gift for you ma'am" I give her the paper bag with the gift.

Looking at me, she took the gift and opened it. She smiled wider when she opened the box. "Oh I can't accept this. It looks very expensive!"

She then held my hand and returned the necklace. Aisht! she's like her daughter.

I scratched my nape and smiled at her awkwardly "Ah no, it's really for you Mrs. Kim hehehe. It's your birthday today" I gave her the gift again.

"Thank you very much. Just wait up, I'm going to get a snack for you" she stood up but I stopped her.

"I'm already full haha. I just dropped by to give my gift. It's late, I should keep going" she just nodded her head.

"Thank you for the time and thank you for these! I don't know how can I repay you. Be careful on your way" I smiled at her and turned my back. Seems like my work is done. Whoo freaking Yujin the great, you reached this far!

Before going out, I passed by a table with the transferee's pictures displayed on it. What in the world are frogs doing in her every picture? She herself looks like a frog pfft.

I took my little sticky pad in my pocket together with my ballpen. I'll just right something interesting ಥ⌣ಥ

'Hey frog. You look like a frog.
We're 2 for now. Just now.'
- the greatest-

I posted it on her picture.

It's not yet over, transferee.

The show must go on..... (😏)

Minju's POV

"Good thing you're here Min. Your friend dropped by. She seems nice" mom suddenly said as she stood from her chair.

Friend?

"Is she short, with bangs and has a cute face mom?" I asked her describing Yuri. She's my only friend in the campus together with Yena,

but how did she know my address? I haven't told her anything.

"No. She's tall and slim, she's also pretty with a half moon eye smile. She brought that foods and she even bought me a gift!" my mom seemed happy. I can't even figure out about that 'friend' of mine yet but thanks to her, she made mom happy.

I looked at my surroundings, maybe if she had left a thing, I can recognize her.

What's that yellow thing in my picture?! As far as I remember, I didn't put a thing like that in my picture frame.

I went near the table to look for that yellow thing. Sheez, a sticky note.

'Hey frog. You look like a frog.
We're 2 for now. Just now.'
-the greatest-

Tall? Pretty? Half moon eye smile?!

2? as in two? hmm it's an even number though.

Wait - - -

What the heck?!

"Moomm! Are you okay? Did she hurt you? Why didn't you tell me?!" I ran towards my mom who's also panicking because of me.

"What are you talking about? Are you okay?" she looks worried and suspicious.

I got the paper bag and saw a box. I opened it and to my surprise, it looks exactly like what I had bought but way too expensive.

"I'm going to return this Mom.Good thing you're alright. She's a monster, she's mean and all the bad characteristics are in her!" Mom just look at me with an unexplainable expression.

I clinched the box in my fist. As what I've said, I don't need her money.

Why did she even do this?

Why?
