When he reached the office, he see the unsettle conditions. He noticed why the CEO rush him to move up here. He didn't want to leave Hubei office but he follow CEO's order. He got home from the CEO because he accept this offer. The manager and everyone here didn't seem like welcome him much. But his assistant was putting the files on his desk starting from the past five years. He said, "You can leave now". His assistant said, "If you need something, I am outside". He said, "Okay, I will". Then, he focused on work. At 4 pm, his phone rang. He was looking at the phone screen and see his wife's name. He wanted to pick up the phone but he need to finish his job. He didn't think he can go home today. But he tried his best.

At home, YooLim's mother put the grocery bag on the floor and open the door. Suddenly, she got a strange smell. So, she was taking the bags and headed inside. She wanted to know where is this smell coming from. Then, she stopped in front of the room with a mirror. She knew why is the smell coming out from here. For the last time, she sees the girl's room in cover with white clothes and old wallpapers. She didn't think the stranger live inside. So, she thought in another way, "was she relating to CEO?". That was right because they get this apartment from the CEO. She was heading to the kitchen and place the bags on the table. And then, she took the key to open the locker room. She was hiding the key in the kitchen drawer. When she took the key and head back to the room, the smell was gone. She opened the door and look around. But everything was neat and tidy. She got inside and look around. She remembered the last time. Now, it was changing everything. She was looking around the place carefully and see an abnormal face in the mirror. She was moving closer to have a look. And then, she saw the person in the mirror and the place is different. She was moving up closer and closer. when she reached close enough to see the room, that lady disappear and she can't hide her emotion. She was shocked too much because the place is the same. She told herself, "What is happening?". Then, she ran away from the room and take the glass of water, and drank. Her heart wasn't calming down. She kept the focus on her duty and start to cook for the family. But her eyes reached over that door as she prepare stuff to cook. At that time, she heard her daughter's voice. She felt relieved now. So, she could focus on cooking. Her daughter came up to the kitchen and place the backpack on the chair. she said, "Are you hungry?". Her daughter said, "Yeah, Mama I am feeling thirsty and hungry now". She said, "Mama knew it so open the refrigerator and find yourself". Her daughter said, "What happened mother, you don't seem well". She said, "It's alright, I just feel tired". Her daughter asked, "Mama, what about the job interview today". She said, "I pass". Her daughter said, "Great, congratulations". Then, her daughter was opening the refrigerator and see the pudding. She heard the wonderful voice of her daughter. Her daughter said, "Mama is the best". She said, "Eat it and go to bath". Her daughter said, "I will what is today's dish". She said, "Guess it". Her daughter said, "It's our favorite dish right?". She said, "Right". Then, she looked at her daughter finish jelly pudding cake and give her a cup of tea. When her daughter came back home, she feel the temperature change and the house was back to life.

Since he decided to graduate from school, he needs to focus on his studies and other activities. When he got back home, he see strange things. His manager was cooking in the kitchen and placed some light dishes on the dining table. He said, "What are you doing here?". His manager told him, "I lost my job now so we must hardworking for our future". He said, "Wait a minute, they do fire you". His manager was tasting the soup with the ladle. And then, the manager said, "I just quit this job because I can't leave you". He said, "What do they tell you to do next?". His manager said, "They want to replace your manager position with a new one and I can't let them do that". He said, "Is that so?". His manager was glancing up at him by saying, "How is it going today?". He said, "It's fine but my friends are not there with me". His manager said, "It's okay, study hard and pass the exams to graduate". He said, "Yes, that's what I must focus on now". His manager was acting like his uncle or trusted friend so he can trust him well. He knew why his manager leave the job. During that time, he heard the phone ring. So, he headed up to the living room for picking up the phone. When he picked up, he heard the sound of his mother. He couldn't hide his emotion. Tears fall down his eyes while he talked with his mother and father. They were worrying him too much. He said, "I am okay now because I continue studying".
