Park Sandara is waiting for Kwon Ji Yong to arrive. She's waiting by the porch. She keeps looking at her watch. It's almost 6 pm. Seon Woong comes out and stood beside her.

"Is he coming?" he asked. Dara looks at her brother. "Oppa!" He chuckles and pats her back. "Yah! Relax. He's coming. It's just a long drive here from Incheon."

"He doesn't tell me but I think he's nervous in meeting Mom." she said.

"They already meet. Why would he be nervous?"

"I don't know." she shrugged.

Dara face lit up when she saw Ji Yong's car approaching. He parks beside Seon Woong's SUV. When he comes down, Dara waves at him and he waves back.

"He doesn't look nervous to me." Seon Woong said. Dara glares at her brother. Seon Woong salutes her and went back inside. Ji Yong was carrying a bottle of wine, the red ginseng box for Mi Kyung and a stuffed toy. He stood in front of her.

"Am I late?" he asked.

"No, you're just in time." Dara said. "What's all of these?"

Ji Yong straightens up. "Red ginseng for your mom, wine for Hye Jung and Seon Woong and this cute teddy bear for Haru."

She frowns. "How about me?" Ji Yong leans forward to her and kisses her lips. "There you go." he said while giving her a cheeky smile. Dara just giggles and asks him to come in.

Dara took the wine bottle from Ji Yong. They were meets by Hye Jung, Seon Woong, and Haru.

"Good evening, Hye Jung-ssi, Seon Woong-ssi." Ji Yong says.

"Omo! You don't have to be formal now. We're family now." Hye Jung said. Seon Woong gives his wife a what-are-you-saying look. Dara blushes while Ji Yong just smiles.

"Ji Yong Samcheon!" Haru said. Ji Yong crouches in front of the little girl. "Hello, Haru. This is for you." he gave the stuffed toy to Haru. The little girl hugged it tightly.

"Thank you, Samchon!"

Ji Yong stood up. Dara stood beside her. Mi Kyung came out from the dining room and approaches them. Ji Yong bows to her. "Hello, Ma'am."

"Aigoo... Just call me Mom." she said. Seon Woong shook his head while Hye Jung, Haru, and Dara are smiling brightly. Ji Yong smiles and nodded. "Mom, I bought a gift for you." He presents her the red ginseng box.

"How thoughtful of you." she took it. "Thank you, Ji Yong-ssi."

Seon Woong speaks. "Let's go to the dining room. Young Bae is going to call in a few minutes."

They all headed to the dining room. Ji Yong is impressed because, in the dining room, they set up a 64-inches TV. It is ready for the video call. Mi Kyung sat at the head chair, Seon Woong sat on her right side while Dara sat on her left. Ji Yong took the seat beside his girlfriend while Hye Jung and Haru sat on Seon Woong's side. Hye Jung asked their butler to serve the appetizer. While waiting for the appetizer, Young Bae is calling. Seon Woong used the remote to answer it. Young Bae and Hyo Rin came into the screen.

"Hello everyone." Hyo Rin said who looks excited.

"Hello, Hyo Rin. How are the two of you?" Mi Kyung asked her daughter-in-law.

"We're okay, Mom." she answered then Hyo Rin noticed Ji Yong sitting beside Dara. "Oh! Hello, Ji Yong-ssi.".

"Hello, Hyo Rin. Hello, Young Bae." he said. Young Bae is smiling and just nods at him. "Did Dara gave you a hard time?" Young Bae asked jokingly.

"Young Bae-yah!" Dara whines. They all laughed at Dara. Even Haru is giggling in her reaction. Dara pouts.

"She's behaving well, so I'm fine." Ji Yong said. Dara pushes him. Ji Yong looks at her while grinning. "Yah." she said with a serious voice.
