"Oh, Mellow! Are you going home?", she asked while hanging a blue shirt on the clothes rack. He nodded while putting his shoes on.

"Do you want to take some lemonades with you?", asked Granny Ve.

Mellow politely declined but she insisted. He gave in and Granny Ve told Rem to get the lemonade from the fridge. As soon as Rem got into the kitchen, Granny Ve asked Mellow about his opinion on Rem.

"Well, he seems like a nice child. He did helped with the housework without being asked", he said.

Granny Ve chuckled. "That's good to hear. In a few days, I'll be out of town for a while. I will probably be back in two months or so. So in the meantime, I want you to look after Rem for me", she said.

Mellow felt anxious after listening to Granny Ve and all he could do was nod.

"Here you go", said a small voice behind Mellow.

Rem handed a plastic with a filled bottle to Mellow. He thanked Rem and patted his head. "I'll be going now", he said before walking away.

Granny Ve and Ren waved goodbye to Mellow until he was no longer to be seen.

Three days went by and Granny Ve had went out of town. Mellow took Rem and his belongings to his house. To Mellow's surprise, all of Rem's belongings were fitted in one suitcase.

"Are these all of your belongings?", Mellow asked and Rem nodded in response. They reached at Mellow's house after walking for 30 minutes. His house was not so different from Granny Ve's. Except that he had a cat that was constantly laying around the house.

Rem noticed two bowls filled with water and cat food near the front door.

"Do you have a cat?", he asked Mellow.

"Yes, although it's not really my cat. It just appeared one day and all of the sudden, I got a cat", said Mellow.

After hearing him, Rem felt excited. Granny Ve did owned a cat but it died a few days before Rem's arrival.

"This will be your room. If you need help with anything, don't hesitate to ask", said Mellow while showing Rem to his room. After a full house tour, Rem went to his room and unpacked his belongings.

"Hey", Mellow knocked on the door. "Dinner is ready. Tonight's menu is beef stew! Hurry up before it turns cold!", he said excitedly and headed to the kitchen.

Rem gently pushed his luggage under the bed and followed Mellow to the kitchen.

They ate and talked throughout the meal. "Now that I think about it, school starts tomorrow, right? What time do you usually go to school?", asked Mellow.

"Around 7.30", Rem replied.

Mellow told Rem that he will wake him up in the morning since he will also be heading out for work afterwards.

After dinner, the two of them went inside their rooms and hit the hay.
