Leia is pretty sure that both messages are sent by Jibeom and Joochan. Leia sighs.

Leia has just finished cooking lunch. It's already lunch time. She hasn't gotten any classes as for today too so she takes a chance to just stay home. She's currently waiting for Sungyoon to arrive home because today is the day that Sungyoon will be back home after 5 days intensive treatments. Leia takes a chance to get some rest while waiting for Sungyoon.

However, Sungyoon isn't yet arrived even until 3 o'clock. Leia gets up and takes her phone to dial Sungyoon's phone number.

"Oh, Leia?" Sungyoon answers the call.

"Where are you?" Leia asks.

"I'm 5 minutes away from home. I'm sorry! My treatment ended a bit late today" Sungyoon says.

"Ah I see.." Leia replies.

"Leia, can you help me later when I reach home?" Sungyoon says.

"Help with.. what?" Leia asks.

"I'll tell you later, okay? See you home!" Sungyoon says. Then he hangs up the call.

5 minutes later, A man with a white beanie and wearing a mask gets in the house. Sungyoon arrives home. Leia smiles widely to see Sungyoon has finally arrived. As soon as Sungyoon enters the house, Leia hugs him.

"Hey, I'm just being away not even a week" Sungyoon says.

"It's too long.." Leia says. Sungyoon giggles.

"Are you okay?" Leia asks. Sungyoon looks a bit pale the soon he returns home. He doesn't show any drastic changes except he looks a bit skinny than before, and pale too.

"Yes I am! Are you?" Sungyoon asks enthusiastically.

"Yes.." Leia replies.

"Hey, I'm hungry.." Sungyoon says. Leia laughs.

Sungyoon's appetite is the same like before. He eats a lot.

"Ah I miss good meals like this. You know, meals in the hospital isn't good at all. I just take it because I'm hungry, and sometimes I don't eat it at all" Sungyoon says. Leia giggles.

"I don't cook too when you weren't around. I just buy some foods outside. It's wasting to just cook only for me.." Leia says. Sungyoon smiles.

"What's about the thing you said in the call?" Leia asks.

"Ah that... I'll tell you after this okay? Let's eat first" Sungyoon says. Leia nods.

Sungyoon asks Leia to sit on the couch.

"Hey, how was Serendipity?" Sungyoon asks. Leia sighs.

"Just fine.." Leia says.

"Haa.. that heavy sigh... not a good sign.. what's wrong?" Sungyoon asks.

"I don't know.." Leia says.

"What have you talked with Jibeom's confidant that make you feel like this?" Sungyoon tries to ask about it.

"I learned a lot about Jibeom.. now I don't know if.. I need to keep going on or not.." Leia says.

"What happened, hmm?" Sungyoon asks.

"Jibeom is.. a widower. He's a single father. The one I talked to was his brother-in-law" Leia says. Sungyoon is shocked.
