<2024, back to one month before Kim's siblings meet Yechan>
A luxury car driven by a young man, next to him there was a beautiful girl who was actively looking at the screen of her mobile phone, entered the compound of a house that was the largest around the area.
The car stopped right in front of the big gate and waited for a few seconds for the gate to be opened by the security guard who is specially employed to guard the residence of the house. After that, only then did the car enter the yard of the house.
"Oh my parent's already at home. Do you wanna meet them before return home?"
The girl said after seeing her parents' vehicles arranged beautifully in the special parking area.
"Okay."
Both of them walked into the residence, while carrying two bags containing food and clothes that they bought a while ago. Their main purpose is to spend time together while relieving stress at work. Even though both of them come from well-off families, they don't have the attitude to spend money on useless things.
Jaeni had just set foot in the house, still standing in front of the door. The shrill voice of a six-year-old child swept their ears.
"Aunty..."
"Our baby boy. Let aunty hug you."
Make a hook to match the child's height. She then stretched out her arms to hug him. Without wasting time, Yehan hugged the girl tightly while smiling happily.
Yechan who saw the two just smiled even though his heart wondered who this little boy was. Because during the two years he dated Jaeni, he never met the little boy.
Jaeni, who saw her boyfriend's face contorted in confusion, only laughed a little, then returned to standing straight beside him. With a sweet face, she introduced the little boy to Yechan.
"Dear, this is Yehan. My nephew."
"Oh, whose child?"
He asked back.He know if none of Jaeni's sibling have gotten married. Her younger brother just got engaged, while the other one is still busy thinking about a job instead of finding a partner.
Note : Jaeni never told their name. She always use 'my dongsaeng' when talking about them.
"My brother or easy to said, my twins."
"Ha? You have twins?"
"Yeah, like my dongsaeng. I got one too. He born early 5 minute before me."
"So, two pairs of twins?"
"Hmmm..Yes."
Maybe because she ignored Yehan who was still there for too long, the little boy tugged a little on Jaeni's shirt to get her attention back.
"Aunty..i want fried rice."
He show a cute face as can be. Persuade Jaeni to cook him his favorite food.
"You want fried rice?"
"Erm(yes)"
While nodding his head rapidly, the little boy pulled her clothes gently again. His eyes were shining so brightly.
"But aunty already buy you BBQ chicken. Do you still want fried rice?"
Jaeni showed a bag filled with food to Yehan. With the hope that the little boy would choose the food she had bought.
"Fried rice."
She exhaled. Jaeni herself was weird with her nephew's taste, because almost every day he would ask them to make fried rice for him. And he ate it tirelessly.
"Okay, after this aunty will cook for you."
"No need dear, his papa already cook fried rice for him before he go out."
A soft female voice greeted the three. Even though she is old, the woman still looks beautiful.
"Aunty"
"Really grandma?"
The little boy asked cheerfully. Now the little boy was right in front of the woman, no longer with Jaeni.
"Yeah. You want eat it now?"
"Yes..yes.. i want now."
Because he was too happy, Yehan jumped up and down while smiling.
"Jaeni, Yechan, let's join us."
The two followed the woman and the little boy towards the dining room. And it was true what the woman said, on the table there was already a big bowl filled with fried rice.
The four of them took their respective positions. Yechan who saw the fried rice served in front of his eyes, his mind drifted to remember someone who also liked the food very much.
"Let's eat. Only this i can offer to you now. We don't have anything beside this."
"It's okay aunty."
Yechan took a spoon and scooped the food into his mouth. He chewed several times before swallowing the food.
'This fried rice taste like....'
While he was in his own world, he was greeted by Hani. Thats make his daydreams stopped just like that.
"It's good?"
"Good aunty. Delicious.Yehan's papa really good at cooking."
"Yes, my papa's cooking is really good. No one in this house can challenge him."
"Grandma can."
"Except grandma."
Everyone who was there laughed at Yehan's funny antics. They ate very happily and only left a little for the head of the family.
A few days later, Yechan returned to the house with a container full of food. He was willing to plead with his mother to cook the food. Which was initially rejected crudely, finally the mother complied with his request.
"Oh Yechan, Jaeni doesn't at home. She doesn't said that you want to come."
"I come here not to meet Jaeni, but Yehan."
"Yehan? Why?"
The woman looked confused. Her face clearly showed that expression.
"I just want to give him this. Yehan like fried rice right. My mama specialist cook this just for him."
" Thank you, send my regards to her."
"Allright, i will tell her later. Aunty, i go first."
"Erm, be careful at the road."
After Yechan left the house, Hani called her grandson, who he immediately came to.
"Grandma, what is that?"
"Can you guess what inside this?"
"Erm food?"
"Yes, you are correct. My grandchildren so clever."
"What food?"
"Fried rice."
"Really? Wahhhh."
Because he was too happy, Yehan jumped up and down in his place. Then he dragged his grandmother towards the dining room.
"Grandma, faster. Yehan hungry."
"Wait, seat properly first."
Yehan sat in an orderly manner while waiting for the food to be served. After everything was finished, he devoured it without waiting for his grandma.
"Delicious. But grandma..."
"Hmmm why?"
"Who gave this fried rice to you?"
He asked. Although he is still young, he is not stupid. He can distinguish between homemade and what is sold at stalls or restaurants.
"Uncle Yechan's mama. Why baby?"
"This fried rice taste like papa's fried rice."
"Really?"
"Erm, grandma try taste it."
Yehan spooned a spoonful of fried rice to Hani. And it's true what his grandson said, the taste of the food is exactly the same as what his eldest son once cooked.
"Maybe by coincidence it tastes the same. Just eat but baby, can you not tell your papa about this."
"Why grandma?"
"Nothing, just keep it as our secret. If you do it what i told you, i will buy you any toys that you really want."
"Really?"
"Yes, i promise."
"Allright, i will not tell papa about this."
It was not without reason that she asked her grandson to keep it as secret. She has several reasons that make her behave like that now. Starting from her suspicion of the young man from two years ago, during the beginning of their acquaintance.
Yechan who bears the surname 'Shin' made her heart recall the story of 5 years ago. Where in the beginning his eldest son also used the name 'Shin' as his family name. The second is from his grandson's name which is almost the same as his name and when seen much more closely, his face also seems to be similar to him.
From the beginning she just let it go, because it was her daughter's choice. Maybe her suspicions were wrong and it was just a coincidence. But as time went on,the coincidence like this that made her suspicions that had almost disappeared, resurfaced.
