Third person's POV 
                          
And just like what she said, Chaeyoung never gives up on Mina, she comes back the next day. Mr and Mrs Myoui let her in but wouldn't agree to give her a chance. Mrs Myoui has already accepted Chaeyoung, but she can't just ignore her  husband's decision, she couldn't do anything but stays quiet.
                          
Chaeyoung just sits in the lounge room and waits, then she waits some more, from morning till evening, then leave with a heavy heart.
                          
Next day she comes again, this time instead of sitting in the lounge, she kneels right at the front door, waiting for Mina's parents to give her a chance, she kneels like that and waits, from morning to noon, from noon to evening, then again leave without getting an answer. And for 4 days straight, she does the same thing, comes to Mina's house, kneels and waits.
                          
Mina knows that Chaeyoung comes every day, the maids always give her informations about Chaeyoung,
                          
'Auntie Kim, is Chaeyoung still kneeling down there?' Mina worrily asks when the maid brings dinner to her room for her,
                          
'She has just gone home, Young Miss. She had been here since morning, she must be very tired.' The maid answers,
                          
'Chaeyoungie...' Mina calls out Chaeyoung's name and starts to cry, her heart hurts knowing how hard it is for Chaeyoung to kneel like that for 4 days straight, 'Auntie Kim, why are my parents so heartless? Why do they do this to me and Chaeyoung?' Mina can't stop crying,
                          
Auntie Kim pats her back, 'Young Miss, your parents are not heartless. They care for you, they are doing this out of love.'
                          
'If they love me, they should know that I'm suffering, that...I'm hurting.' Mina is complaining,
                          
Right then, Mrs Myoui steps in. Auntie Kim bows to her before leaving, giving them space. Mina looks at her mom, then sulkily walks to her bed and sits down, looking to the other direction. 
                          
Mrs Myoui walks over, sits down right next to Mina, she gently caresses Mina's hair, 'Mina, Darling, Mom is sorry for what you are going through. Mom loves you.'
                          
Mina turns around and hugs her mom tightly, 'Mommy, I love you, I love Daddy too. And...I also love Chaeyoung, could you and Daddy please don't hate Chaeyoung too much?' She says while crying,
                          
'Mina, Mom doesn't hate Chaeyoung, in fact Mom quite likes her, she has made a good impression on me.' Mrs Myoui tells her,
                          
Mina breaks the hug, wipes her own tears, 'Really? You like Chaeyoung?'
                          
Mrs Myoui smiles warmly at her, 'Uhmm, I've already accepted you two, I think Chaeyoung is a good kid, I can see how much she loves you.'
                          
Mina is still sniffing from all the crying but smiles a little, feeling a bit relieved that at least her mom has accepted them.
                          
Mrs Myoui continues, 'But your Dad needs a bit more time, Mina. Chaeyoung's persistent and sincerity is slowly melting him, I can see it.'
                          
'But Mommy, can you please help us? Can you tell Daddy not to be so mean to her? Can you not ignore her? Please can you not let her kneel like that all day?' Mina continuously pleads,
                          
Mrs Myoui looks at her daughter, 'Do you love her that much, Mina?'
                          
Mina nods her head, feeling a little shy, confessing with her mom about her feelings for Chaeyoung.
                          
Mrs Myoui pats her head, 'Chaeyoung is just as stubborn as you. Just like how you refuse to say sorry to get out of being grounded, she insists to kneel there no matter how I convince her to stand up. She is determined to get your Dad's permission.'
