"Another one", said a young man in his early twenties while picking up a snail from a tomato plant.

After checking every plants in the garden, he went to a nearby house.

"Granny Ve!", he shouted at the front door. "Is that you,Mellow? The door is open!", someone shouted back.

Mellow went inside and headed to the kitchen. There, he saw Granny Ve cooking something in a big pot.

"There you are. Go sit at the table. Today we'll having curry for lunch"

Mellow helped by setting up the table and headed for the fridge to pour himself a drink. "Oh that's right, Mellow! Can you go pick some lemons from the garden? I'm thinking about making lemonades", said Granny Ve while stirring the curry.

Mellow went outside and picked a few riped lemons from the garden.

"Ouch! What the?", he felt something bit him. As he felt a slight itch from his neck, his immediate response was to rush back to the house. He went to the kitchen and put the lemons into the sink.

"I'm using the bathroom for a bit", said Mellow while making his way to the bathroom. When he tried to open the door, it was locked from the inside. Mellow thought to himself, "did granny accidentally locked it?"

He head back to the kitchen and asked Granny Ve about the bathroom.

"That must be Rem. He told me that he got dirt on his shirt", she explained while cutting the lemons in half.

A few minutes later, a boy came to the kitchen and sat down at the table. He looked at Mellow and said, "sorry for making you wait. I'm done using the bathroom"

"That's alright", Mellow replied. Granny Ve placed a jug of lemonade on the table along with three plates of curry and rice. They ate their meal and talked about Granny Ve's plants. When they finished eating, Rem helped clearing the table while Mellow washed the dishes.

Feeling awkward, Mellow decided to struck a conversation. "So, Rem? What time did you arrived here?", he asked.

Rem replied, "I arrived here yesterday. I was unpacking my belongings in my room all morning"

Mellow closed the tap water and leaned his back against the sink. "I see", he nodded in response. He waited until Rem finished wiping the table and the two of them head to the front door. Since it was sunny, Granny Ve decided to put the laundry out.
