Jibeom opens Areum's room door. He doesn't see Areum there. He feels a bit panic to see his daughter isn't in the room until he realises that Areum isn't home. Jibeom smacks his forehead.
"Ah I forgot.." Jibeom says. He forgot that Areum is staying with his in-laws today. Jibeom smiles. It's not even a day and he misses Areum already?

Ah I'm afraid!
Kim Jibeom :
Cheer up.
Jang Aya :
I'm already stressed about it
Hong Joochan :
Don't worry! You'll be fine!
Kim Hanni :
I'm jealous of Chaerin
She already graduated
Jibeom too
Ha Chaerin :
I'm always thinking that I graduated too early
You know
Maybe I should've experienced more and stuff..
Kim Donghyun :
Chaerin you must have been a top class student
Ha Chaerin :
For some extent, yes?
Kim Hanni :
Look at the confidence coming off the statement hahaha
Hong Joochan :
Guys, you make me feel so dumb
Jung Leia :
Oh you aren't continuing your study?
Hong Joochan :
Not at once
Kim Jibeom :
It's okay.
It's never too late to start.
Hong Joochan :
I don't think I'm a study person to be honest
Jang Aya :
It's okay!
Everyone gets their own ways☺️
Kim Jibeom :
That's true.
Look at the bright side.
At least you owned a cafe now.
Bong Jaehyun :
Oh Mr Kim Jibeom, a man full of philosophy
Ha Chaerin :
Jibeom is right
Kim Hanni :
At least you don't have to be unemployed after you graduated
Kim Donghyun :
Ugh I hate the fact
I hate that I'm gonna be that person after this
Hong Joochan :
What kind of person are you?
Kim Donghyun :
A type of person who will start a fight with you😒
Hong Joochan :
Ha
Very funny
Jang Aya :
I wanna visit Joochan's cafe
Kim Hanni :
Me too!
Hong Joochan :
Sure please do come!
Bong Jaehyun :
Where is it exactly located?
Jung Leia :
We shall meet together someday!
I'll show you where Joochan's cafe at!
I'm his regular customer!
Hong Joochan :
Hahahaha sure you know!
Kim Hanni :
I should come and bring my assignments all there
Hong Joochan :
Oh yes you should! You're gonna love our new spots in cafe!
Jung Leia :
What happened?
Hong Joochan :
I'm creating a spot for customers to spend their time doing works
It's like a private corner for recreational activities especially studying upstairs
And we put some latest books for reading corner downstairs
Jung Leia :
Wow!
It makes me wanna visit it as soon as it reopens!
Hong Joochan :
Sure! Please come in early April!
Jang Aya :
Can't you just send us the glimpse of it?
Hong Joochan :
No spoilers😜
Jang Aya :
Ahhh I wanna go to it so bad!
Hong Joochan :
I'm waiting for all Serendipity members to come!
Jibeom you better come with your daughter!
Kim Jibeom :
Haha.
Okay okay.
Jang Aya :
Ohh Joochan! I have a suggestion for your cafe!
Hong Joochan :
What is it?
Jang Aya :
If you have some spaces on the wall, put a board on the wall
I mean it's like a corner for your customer to pour their hearts at
A board to leave some messages or feedbacks
I've seen this when I went visit some cafes out of Korea
They put a whiteboard and the customer wrote on it!
They've become one of the attractions for the cafe!
Hong Joochan :
Good idea!
But isn't it gonna be tired to clean it up after?
Jang Aya :
You can change to a paper board! They will hang their sticky notes there
You don't have to clean it regularly too
You may leave it too for some aesthetic purposes
Kim Hanni :
Good idea!
Bong Jaehyun :
Oh it looks fun!
Ha Chaerin :
Yeah!
It's unique too!
Hong Joochan :
Thanks for the idea!
I'll definitely do that!
Kim Jibeom :
You should leave your notes first on it!
So we can check it later.
Hong Joochan :
I will!
Kim Donghyun :
Guys, I have a random question to ask
Bong Jaehyun :
Ask away
Kim Donghyun :
Have you ever wondered, what is your job now if you be able to follow your childhood dream?
Bong Jaehyun :
I'm still a pilot
Jung Leia :
So it's really your childhood dream to become a pilot?
Bong Jaehyun :
Yes
Kim Hanni :
Wow
Bong Jaehyun :
What about you guys?
Hong Joochan :
I would be a painter
Jang Aya :
I'd be a cafe owner
Hong Joochan :
What?
Jang Aya :
Eh?
Ha Chaerin :
OMG
Kim Donghyun :
What a good chemistry!
Jung Leia :
You guys lived in each other's dream!
Jang Aya :
Wait, really Joochan?
Hong Joochan :
Yeah!
You too, really?
Jang Aya :
OMG yes!
Kim Jibeom :
You guys can operate both at the same time if you are partners.
Kim Donghyun :
Oh Jibeom is a cupid now?
Kim Jibeom :
I'm just saying out my thoughts.
Kim Hanni :
You better get together
Jibeom is predicting
Jung Leia :
Hahahahahaa
Hong Joochan :
No comment
Jang Aya :
What about others?
Ha Chaerin :
I wanna be a model
Jung Leia :
It suits you, Chaerin!
You're tall, skinny and pretty!
Ha Chaerin :
Hahaha!
But my family doesn't support my dream huhu!
Kim Hanni :
I wanna be kindergarten teacher
I love kids
Kim Donghyun :
I wanna be a gamer
Jung Leia :
I wanna be a psychologist
Kim Jibeom :
I don't have a dream.
Jang Aya :
Really this man... 😑
Kim Donghyun :
Ugh Jibeom
Kim Hanni :
This man is really having no vision hmm😑
Ha Chaerin :
Try to think one
Maybe you will unlock your childhood memory
Kim Jibeom :
I really don't have any dream jobs.
My dream was just to be rich.
Kim Donghyun :
So are you rich now?
Kim Jibeom :
No comment.
Jung Leia :
Just to be rich?
Kim Jibeom :
Hmm I wanna have a car and own a house too.
Get married at the age of 25.
Make my parents happy.
Hong Joochan :
Jibeom ain't having a dream
He planned the entire dream
Jang Aya :
Have you achieved your goals now?
Kim Jibeom :
Yeah? I can say.
I owned a house.
I have a car.
I got married at the age of 24.
I bought my parents a new house.
I sent my parents some money monthly.
I guess I had?
So I have nothing to hope for.
Just I want my daughter to live happily.
Hong Joochan :
A man with mission
Jung Leia :
You've done very well!
Bong Jaehyun :
You're so great!

Leia's storytelling
Leia has completed her task for today.
*cleck*
The main door opens.
"Oh? You returned early today?" Leia asks as she sees Sungyoon has returned home.
"Oh yeah.. but I'm going out after this hehe" Sungyoon says.
"You don't have class today?" Sungyoon asks Leia. Leia shakes her head. Sungyoon nods.
* * *
Sungyoon's phone keeps ringing. Sungyoon leaves his phone at the living room when he goes to take a nap. Leia sees the phone number on the screen. "Omma" it says. Leia feels weird. Who's this person actually is? Leia answers the call.
"Ya! Is it hard to answer a call?!" A woman yells from through the phone call. Leia goes silent. She doesn't bear to talk.
"Sungyoon-ah. How many times I must say this? Can you stop searching for me? Let's just pretend like we never know each other, okay? PLEASE STOP DISTURBING MY LIFE!" The woman seems to have a serious issue with Sungyoon.
"E-excuse.. me.." Leia tries to put all her courage to talk.
"Huh? Who's this?!" The woman asks.
"I-I'm.. Sungyoon's sister.." Leia says.
"Huh?! Ah I don't care! Tell Sungyoon to stop finding me! You get it?!" The woman says. Then the woman hangs up the call.
"Who's that, Leia?" Sungyoon asks. Leia looks at him straightaway.
* * *
"I'm sorry, oppa. I shouldn't have.. to answer it.." Leia says. She tells Sungyoon everything she hears. Sungyoon holds Leia's hand.
"It's okay.. it's my fault" Sungyoon says.
"Oppa.. who's that woman actually? Why is she so mad at you?" Leia asks. Sungyoon sighs.
"She's my real mom.." Sungyoon says.
"You know where she is?" Leia asks. Sungyoon shakes his head.
"I just know her contact.. I just recently found it.. but I don't know much about it.." Sungyoon says.
"Are you searching for her?" Leia asks. Sungyoon nods.
"You miss her?" Leia asks.
"Kinda.. but there's.. another thing I wanna tell her.. that's why.." Sungyoon says. Leia nods.
"I wanna help you.." Leia says. Sungyoon shakes his head.
"It's not easy as you think.. it's okay. Thank you for your concern.." Sungyoon says. He smiles then he gets up from his seat.
"I'm going to uni's library. Might return late again.." Sungyoon says as he walks out of the main door. Leia sighs. She messes it up, isn't she?
