When I woke up  I was lying on a couch. I was soaking wet and my head was hurting so badly. I used all my energy to sit up and realized I wasn't in my own house. I was too weak to be scared so I tried to remember what happened before I passed out but my head hurt more as I tried to. Frustrated, I rubbed my eyes and when I looked up I saw Eunwoo,
                          
"You're awake!?" He said excitedly and shocked

                          
"Yeah," I said rubbing head. "Can you to tell me what happened?" I asked
                          
"Well I saw you walking in the rain from my window and when I went outside and called your name, you passed out ." He said
                          
My eyes widened, " I remember now. So how did I get inside?"
                          
"I carried you duh," he said. "So why were you walking in the rain? And why did you pass out all of a sudden?" He asked worriedly
                          
"Well remember that brownie you bought me?" I asked
                          
"Yeah" he responded
                          
"Well I gave the other half to my brother and my dad caught him with it and found out I gave it to him so he banned me from dinner. So I was heading to Jennie's house to eat but on the way, I kinda fainted ." I said
                          
"Is this the first time your dad has done this?" He asked
                          
"No, but he usually gives up and says that I should eat but I didn't feel like waiting. Plus I was already weak from not eating lunch." I said
                          
"Your dad's tough," he said
                          
"I'm used to it. Are your parents here ?" I asked
                          
"Yeah, I'm gonna tell them you're awake." He said walking away 

                          
He came back with his dad who looked really familiar but I didn't know where I'd seen him before. When he saw me his eyes widened.
                          
"Hi," I said standing from the couch and shaking his hand. "Thank you for letting me stay here."
                          
"It's my pleasure, Y/N," he said smiling
                          
"How do you know my name?" I asked
                          
"Well, I've known your dad all my life. Next time you see him tell him I said hello." He said as he walked into the kitchen.
                          
I was about to say something before his mom appeared too,
                          
"Oh honey I'm so happy you're awake." She said
                          
"Thank you, I appreciate you letting me stay here. I should get going though." I said looking at the clock which read 7 pm.
                          
"Oh no! Please stay for dinner?" She asked
                          
"Sure," I said unsure of myself.
                          
"Great! You two can go upstairs and see Lisa." She said as she walked into the kitchen too.
                          
Eunwoo and I walked up the steps and into Lisa's room. She was blasting music and had a billion snacks around her. With all her notebooks faced down on the floor. When she saw me she ran to me with her mouth full of chips,
                          
"You're awake !!" She said hugging me.
                          
"Yeah," I said grabbing her chips and sitting on the chair next to the bed.
                          
"Isn't that what got you in trouble the first time?" Eunwoo asked.
                          
"I'm desperate ok?! I haven't eaten all day ." I said stuffing my face
                          
He laughed.
                          
"Y/N !!  You wrecked the boy's team today" Lisa said wide-eyed
                          
"Yeah, I know..."I said quietly
                          
"Why so sad?!" She said confused
                          
"They didn't deserve it," I said looking down
                          
"They didn't but it was funny don't worry too much." She said putting her arm around my shoulder. "Why'd you do it anyway?"
                          
Eunwoo looked at me and I looked back. 
"You know just lack of food mood swings," I said lying.
                          
Eunwoo chuckled and I hit his arm.
                          
"I totally get you," Lisa said.
                          
I never realized how much of an airhead she was, it was actually really funny. After 10 minutes of waiting, their mom called us down for dinner.
                          
The food looked great and I was still so hungry, even after the chips I ate in Lisa's room. Aside from eating, I was excited to talk to Eunwoo's dad he must know a lot since he was my dad's best friend when they were younger. Maybe he'll even know something about my mom.
                          
At the table, we all ate and I ate slowly in an attempt to not embarrass myself by eating like a total pig.
                          
"So how do you like the food?" Eun-woo's mom asked
                          
"It's really great. Thank you again." I said smiling
                          
"No problem" his dad replied. "Anything for an old friends daughter and the Best Striker in the state," he said smiling
                          
I laughed, "so how was my dad when you guys were younger?" I asked
                          
"Well, He was my senior, a year older, so I always looked up to him. We were on the volleyball team together and he was the captain and back then the girls and boys school were together so we'd train with the girls often. He pushed me a lot to do my best, I'll always thank him for that. When we were a bit older he wanted to start a volleyball business where we could train younger kids to do great in volleyball. But during the building of our business, he went to jail, so I had to run it by myself. But  now that he's out I'd really like him to become my partner again." He said
                          
"Have you met up with him lately?" I asked
                          
"I've tried to, but I'm not sure if he's ready. I know this is a lot to ask but maybe you could ask him to meet up with me?" He asked
                          
"Sure," I said. My next question made me really nervous but I just had to ask. "So Mr. Y, did you know my mother?" I asked nervously
                          
He looked up and his wife looked at him as well,
"I did," he said
                          
"Do you know anything about her ?"  I asked
                          
"Well in high school, she was the captain of the girl's volleyball team. She was always first in her ranks, such a brilliant girl. Your dad and her used to compete a lot but it was always friendly competition. Their relationship was really refreshing." He said. "You know, you remind me of her a lot, it's almost like you guys are twins." He said smiling
                          
I smiled at the thought of my mother, "do you know where she is now? Since my dad has been back he's been saying she's coming back soon  but I'm not really convinced anymore." I said

                          
"Well, I don't know where she is Y/N, but I think you should trust in your father. That man has never told a lie." He said as he began to eat again.
                          
I nodded and looked at Eunwoo who was sitting next to me. He whispered,
                          
"I have something to show you after dinner."
                          
I just nodded and continued to eat.
