Lucy 's POV


I ran so fast like I am about to loose my breath.

There, I saw them, busy chatting with one another.

I embraced my mother when she saw me.

"Lucy, what's going on? "

I was still shaking.

I was so scared when that man grabbed my arm.

"Is there something wrong? " Mr. Pio asked.

My mother loosened my embrace and cupped my face.

"Darling, what's going on? "

"M--mom..there was a man who---

"HEY!"

All of us turned around when we heard someone called out.

My eyes grew wide when I saw that man again. He walked straight to us. I hid at my father's back.

"That guy is crazy!" I exclaimed.

His brows arched. "Crazy?"

"He was in the ladies' room!" I exclaimed.

"Hey! You were on the wrong rest room! Did you not see the sign outside? "

What was he talking about? There was only one restroom!

Mr. Pio went to the man and hit his left arm.

"Jeno! "

Je--jeno?

"Will you please buttoned up your shirt? And what's with this stain? Where did you get this? "

"A scoop of ice cream fell on me."

I don't understand! What's going on here?

"Do you know him, Mr. Shon? "I asked.

The two of them looked at me.

"Yes, dear. He is my son. Jeno Shon."

Oh, gosh!

I held my father's arm tightly. "Dad, what's going on? "

My father tapped my hand and smiled. "Come on, let's eat, shall we? "

"Jun is right. Let's eat before the food gets cold. And, Jeno, dear, I think it's better if you change your clothes. I am sure your Dad has some spare shirts." my mother said.

That guy named Jeno gave me a quick look and excused himself.

Now what was that for?!

************************************
So quiet!

Awkwardly quiet!

I did not bother looking at them. My eyes were fixed on my meal.

"Ehm, so, shall we let them know?" my mother asked.

I looked at her. She was smiling at me.

"I already know. You can just tell her."

That Jeno guy said.

Now, this is really confusing and making me go crazy!

"Mom? What's going on?! You and Dad were acting so strange earlier. What's with all of these? "

I saw my father's facial expression. His smile fades away when he saw my anxious face.

I hate surprises!

"Dear, listen to me, and promise me you won't give any side comments until you let me finish! "

I nod.
