A man wearing black Silk Wool pants, Vest with matching colors and white singlet was seen descending the stairs with calm steps. Beside him a beautiful woman was hugging his open arms. Every now and then the man looked at the woman beside him and sighed.
For almost two weeks he had not seen the woman's sweet smile. Only the sadness that is seen from the unexpected radiance of Hazel's eyes, to the point that she is confused must be in a way especially in order to restore the sweet smile of her lips.
"Uncle, where are we really going?" ask that woman who is definitely Viona.
"Go to a beautiful place. Aren't you tired of being home, so I'm planning to take you on vacation." Answer Kevin.
"Where?" ask Viona curiously.
"Later you'll know for yourself." Kevin replied with a faint smile.
Nami island, seems like the right choice. Kevin plans to take Viona there. She once remembered that Viona wanted to go to Nami Island when autumn came, because she wanted to see the red sea of maple leaves falling.
Suddenly Viona stopped her steps making Kevin come to a stop as well. "What's wrong?" Kevin asked confusedly.
"The weather outside was so cold, why didn't Uncle bring warm clothes and instead dress like this?" viona asked paying attention to the clothes Kevin was wearing. He only wears Vest+Singlet without a long-sleeved shirt let alone a warm coat, even though the day air is quite cold even though the sun is shining.
Kevin shakes. "It's not cold at all. I'm used to dressing like this. No, don't protest too much. Let's go now, we'll have lunch first, you'll be hungry." Said Kevin and replied to a nod by Viona.
Either way, Kevin will definitely return a big smile on Viona's lips. She misses the old Viona, who is cheerful and a bit of a bar-bar. Not the current Viona, who was quiet and did not say much.

An old man got off a taxi. His gaze swept out in all directions. He has arrived in South Korea, and his dream of setting foot on Nami Island could finally be realized.
The old man swept his gaze, he tried to find the nearest inn from where he was standing at the moment. Honestly, he was a little confused because this was the first time he went to Korea, especially his age which was no longer young. That made it a little difficult.
"Uncle, you seem to be looking for something? Can we help you?" some young men approached the old man. Of course, they look very suspicious.
"I'm looking for lodging around here. Can you show me?" tanya was suspicious in the slightest, the old man also asked about the nearby inn.
"Of course you know, we're real people here. Come with us, I'll show you the nearest inn." Said one of the five young men.
The old man nodded. He pulled his suitcase and followed the five of them. Instead of being taken to an inn, they took him to an empty, deserted building. He was robbed by the five young men, his belongings taken including the suitcase he was carrying. Because they believe a lot of stored valuables.
"Don't take it, you can't take my stuff." Said the old man trying to prevent the young men from taking his things.
"Based on useless parents. Move aside," he was pushed until he fell to the ground. The five of them just left.
He has lost his suitcase, his luxury watch and his branded belt. Luckily he was still able to keep some valuable items stored in the other wallet. Because what they took was a wallet that only contained a few won sheets.
If the wallet was taken too, he could have become a vagabond while in Korea because he had no money at all. Fortunately, he had predicted something like this would happen.
"I'm glad I managed to secure it. Better now go find food first, I'm very hungry" said the old man as he held his stomach that felt rumbling. He hasn't had dinner yet.
The old man left the empty building. He saw there was a Chinese restaurant around the park where he got out of the taxi. His stomach was very hungry and could not be compromised anymore.

After a long and exhausting journey. Kevin and Viona arrive at Nami Island. Kevin invited the woman to dinner because it was already dinner time.
"Excuse me, Grandpa. I've noticed from a distance you keep quiet outside, don't you want to go inside?" scold Viona politely.
The old man who was none other than Joseph Lu turned his head. A beautiful young woman and a handsome man stood before her."Son, are you two going to dinner at this restaurant?" instead of answering, Master Lu asked back. Viona and Kevin nodded.
"Well, why Grandpa?" ask Viona politely.
"Can I come with you. I feel uncomfortable eating alone. Could it be if Grandpa joined the two of you?" Joseph looked at Kevin and Viona alternately and hoped the young couple would allow him to join them inside.
Kevin and Viona exchanged a glance. After getting a nod from Kevin, Viona allows Mr. Lu to join her and Kevin.
Here they are now. The three of them were in the VIP room, the room that Kevin had chosen. He can at least when eating is noticed by many people, which is why Kevin always choose a private room for comfort.
The three of them chatted, and almost all of the chatter was only dominated by Viona and Master Lu. It's the first time Kevin has seen Viona talk that much after the miscarriage she had two weeks ago. Even he could smile and laugh widely, and all thanks to the old man before him.
"Why didn't Grandpa just go to the police so they could be arrested and thrown in jail?" Viona became anxious herself after hearing Master Lu's story that had just been robbed earlier.
Master Lu shook his head. "Grandfather, don't know where the police office is and maybe they rob because they need money. But luckily Grandpa can still save this wallet and phone, because if these two things are taken, Grandpa could be a bum." Mr. Lu said at length.
"Then where do you live?" after a long silence, a question slid from Kevin's lips.
The old man nodded. "Grandfather, himself does not know where to stay. Maybe at a hotel or inn. Because in this country Grandpa has no kinsmen." The answer.
"I have a Villa here and there are still some empty rooms. If you are willing, I can allow Master to stay for a few nights." Kevin made an offer.
"Isn't it too much trouble?" asked Master Lu, he can at least we should trouble others.
Kevin shakes. "Absolutely not," and answered briefly.
After hearing Mr. Lu's story of being robbed, Kevin had no heart to leave him alone let alone this was the first time he had come to South Korea. Maybe by inviting him to live together in a villa owned yes will make it much safer.
Not directly answer. Master Lu first thought of Kevin's offer. He really didn't want to bother her. But it's also good if he lives with them. Not because Master Lu wanted to find a free, but his security could be maintained. He is still a stranger to the city and the country.
"Well, if not a hassle. Grandpa, agree to stay with you."
Kevin and Viona both smiled. Kevin felt a bond with this old man in front of him. It was their first time meeting, but somehow Kevin felt close to her.
Not much different from what Kevin felt, Master Lu felt the same way. Moreover, Kevin's face reminded him of his daughter who had disappeared all this time. And if only he was alive, maybe his eldest grandson would already be the same age as Kevin.
"It's good, so the Villa won't be quiet because it's just for me and Uncle." Viona said.
"We should eat now before these foods turn cold." Kevin said.
And then their dinner went quietly. There was no chatter between the three of them, only the sound of spoons and forks coming into contact with each plate.
