I will follow .....

"If you want to explore the outside world you can play here in the park with other kids, we also have a swimming pool, or just walk around the jogging path," explained Chaewon.

"Oh, our park is bigger than this," said Henry.

"Really? Wow! You live in a condominium also?"

"Hahaha, no I live in a town where the mountain and the sea meet."

"Wow!! I'd like to visit your town someday."

"Sure, you're always welcome."

Suddenly a cherry black painted 5 seater SUV stopped beside Henry and the window from the passenger seat rolled down, "Eomeoni! (Mother!)," cried out Chaewon.

"You know them?" Henry asked.

"Uhm..... it's my mother, mother this is Henry."

"Ah..... good afternoon Mrs. Kim," greeted Henry.

"Get inside the car and give your bike to Samuel," Ae Cha ordered Chaewon.

"Oh..... Henry I need to go now, I'll see you around."

"Uhm..... sure I'll see you soon," and Henry watched the car as it drove away straight to the building.

A woman suddenly came out from the corner calling out Henry's name, "Henry!" Henry looked in the direction of where the voice was coming from and found out that it's his mother calling him, "Ma."

"Who were you talking to?"

"Huh? Ah..... I was with Chaewon earlier."

"Oh..... don't wander around too much besides we need to go upstairs now so that you can rest."

"Okay."

Driiiiin. Driiiiin. Driiiiin.

It has been a week since they saw each other and Amor has no intention of letting Do Yun know of her marital issues. The orientation will be given by HR and they only need to meet the Kim's during the contract signing thus they won't be going to the office together. In general, the company is expecting a two-year time commitment from them both as scholars and school companions. The HR also announced that Henry will be Chaewon's school companion while Mila's daughter will be Ha Jun's companion. Although they will not be attending the same class they will be attending the same school, "If you don't have any clarifications you can now sign your contracts with Mr. and Mrs. Kim," said the HR.

Mila and her daughter went in first and the contract signing only lasted for 5 minutes thus Amor was hopeful that their turn will also be as easy as theirs.

When Mila and her daughter came out from the Kim's office Amor went inside first, "Wait for me here and don't go anywhere else okay?" she told Henry.

"Yes, ma."

Standing outside the office, she straightened her tee and pants the only casual comfy outfit she can afford to bring with her. Pressing her lips, she took a deep breath and lightly knocked and opened the door, "Come in Amor, have a seat," Do Yun said.

"Good..... good morning Mr. and Mrs. Kim," Amor stuttered but Ae Cha only gave her a glance.

Amor took a seat in front of where Do Yun is seated, looking at his face with smooth and fair skin she never thought she missed him that much. With a body shape that appeared rather muscular wearing a blue Camden check navy suit, Amor can only hope he is not sitting next to Ae Cha who is wearing a caramel syrup/black ottoman-knit tunic sweater with comfortable leggings.

"I will be honest with you Amor, Henry was never our choice," said Ae Cha.

"Uhm.....," Amor got confused thus she didn't know how to respond to Ae Cha.

"Chaewon chose Henry and seeing them together yesterday makes me think that their meeting during the interview was not the first."

"Ah..... that..... that I'm not sure Mrs. Kim....."

"Chaewon is our eldest child, you may not understand the role and responsibility she has over her shoulder but I hope Henry as a school companion knows his role and responsibility."

"Oh..... I..... I'll make..... I'll make sure he is reminded of his role and responsibility both as a scholar and a school companion Mrs. Kim."

"What do you think of the scholarship program discussed to you by HR?" Do Yun broke his deafening silence.

"Uhm..... how can anyone say no to that offer Mr. Kim?"

"That's settled then."

"Is your son ready?" Ae Cha asked.

"Ah..... yes Mrs. Kim I'll call him in now," and Amor went out to ask Henry to get inside already.

"Oh..... Henry it's our turn now please come in," and Amor ushered him inside.

"Good afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Kim," Henry bowed to greet Do Yun and Ae Cha.

"You are Chaewon's school companion so you don't need to accompany her at home," said Ae Cha.

"Uhm..... yes Mrs. Kim," answered Henry.

"How do you find the city Henry?" asked Do Yun.

"Ah..... it's highly urbanized compared to my town Mr. Kim," answered Henry.

"Yes it is, but you'll get used to it here and just consider our home as your home away from your home okay?"

"Oh..... thank you, Mr. Kim."

Do Yun cleared his throat thus Amor looked up in his direction. He gestured her to leave thus she stood up immediately. She budged Henry beside her and closed the door behind them as they went out of the office.

Amor can only let out a sigh, "Your orientation is done, you can stay in our unit so you can rest since we'll be traveling back home early tomorrow."

"Can I stay in the play area for a while?"

"Uhm..... sure but don't stay there for long okay?"

After they arrived in the condominium, Henry checked the surroundings around the play area hoping to meet Chaewon again. Although it is already in the afternoon, there was enough shade in the area because of the trees. He walked around the park and found the swimming pool and sat on the vacant chair near the pool. There were a few people swimming at that time both adults and children thus he enjoyed watching them when someone waved in his direction. He didn't recognize the swimmer because of the swimming cap and goggles thus he looked around him if the person was waving at someone else but there was no one else near him thus he pointed at himself to confirm if the person was indeed waving at him. Realizing that Henry didn't recognize her, Chaewon took off her goggles and waved in his direction again. It was then that Henry recognizes Chaewon thus he waved back at her and she hurriedly climbed out of the pool and sat at the opposite chair beside him.

"Hello, Henry!"

"Hi, Chaewon!"

"How are you?"

"I'm fine, I just had my orientation earlier in Mr. and Mrs. Kim's office."

"I see, how was it?"

"It was okay I guess, so..... I'll be your school companion then."

"Yes..... is that fine with you?"

"Why not? I hope we can be good friends also."

"Same here, do you want to take a dip?"

"Huh?"

"Do you want to swim?"

"Ah..... no I can't stay long, my mother might look for me."

"I see..... maybe next time."

"Yeah, maybe next time."

"Can you wait for me?"

"Huh?"

"I'll just go change then we can go back home together."

"Sure, I'll wait for you."

"Good, I won't take long."

"Okay."

Looking at Chaewon enter the changing room and the other people around the pool area, Henry feels out of place but something in the way Chaewon treats him makes him feel at home.

But there are still too young to be distracted with thoughts of the future.
