MEETING GRANNY SUSAN

After taking a shower and getting ready for the day, Jieun leave the room to head to the dining room. Luckily for her, even though the house was large, the structure was easy for her to remember and find the place Ayana talked about.

While walking down from the beautiful curved style staircase Jieun can clearly see that the building is apparently a mansion that has 3 floors and the outside is connected between one building to another.

The top floor, which includes her bedroom looks like a residential area. The second floor to her looks like a place where people gather around to spend time together because there is a huge library, games room, room for exercising also sewing room. The ground floor anyway, has a large living room, dining area and a spacious kitchen.

'It's like a small castle.' Said Jieun in her mind. She went outside the mansion for a while out of curiosity.

Jieun could see the beautiful scenery at that time. With a flower and vegetable garden, also different types of fruits being plant here and there really gives her peace inside her heart and mind. There are also many gazebos here allowing anyone to relax there while enjoying the view.

In the middle of the area there is a very beautiful decorative pool with a fountain. She read the map that was written there, which said that the outer building on the left has staff accommodation and family offices while on the right is a space and a room that can be used by guests.

Jieun peek at the front gate. Outside, behind the gate, she can see the same scene when she was in the room earlier which is a village town. The village seems busy now with loud voice here and there. On the right in front of the mansion there is also a small café that looks like the one her father owned at home.

Jieun feel like going to see the café but suppressed her feeling because she still remembers that Ayana is waiting for her. So, as she also already late because of the sudden tour, she continued to get back into the mansion and headed to the dining room.

In there she could see there was a table that could hold 20 people at a time. 'This is one big family I guess.' Jieun make her own guess.

"Good... Morning." Jieun stuttering to greet some of the people that she could see being there because she didn't know how she had served them before.

"Morning Lady Jieun."

"Good morning!"

"You're up my lady."

"Are you feeling well this morning, Lady Jieun?"

"Morning, my beautiful lady!"

"You must be tired as you are just up now my lady."

Jieun feel so impressed with the warm respond that she gets then. Never once in her life she had anyone greeted her like that. And somehow that made her happy as she started smiling brightly and made herself feel right at home.

"You're here now my lady." Ayana come closer to her. "You look pretty as always."

"Well… Thank you." Jieun shyly say.

"If you noticed you granny watching you since before. But she just had a big smile appearing on her face and I don't know why she acts like that. It's scarier than hearing her nagging nonstop. " Ayana whispers.

Jieun stares at the older women that standing not far from them. So that is the granny that Ayana keeps talking about. She looks like a warm person too. Jieun has a good feeling about her.

Like Ayana said the older women are full with smiling towards her. Jieun smiles back and bow her head slightly as a sign of respect and greeting to the old women.

The old woman now walked slowly to approach her afterwards.

"What are you scheming now Aya? You better not sneak out Jieun again if you don't want me to nagging. I just let you guys off the hook yesterday as I feel bad because I was so harsh to Jieun before."

"Yes, Grandma Susan." Ayana said playfully and invite a little laugh from Jieun.

Granny Susan looked at Jieun right in her eyes with a look full of implied meaning until Jieun feels a little uncomfortable being observed like that.

"You have nice eyes." She said to Jieun suddenly.

"What are you saying granny? She's always had beautiful eyes since she was born. Why do you just realize it now?" Ayana asked.

Granny Susan pinched Ayana a little as she not being able to bear to hear her nonstop asking ever since.

"Ouch! Sorry". Ayana begs for mercy.

"What I'm trying to say is. Her eyes look more like her mother's today."

That statement makes Jieun's curiosity peak. "Do you know my mother well?" Jieun sure to ask carefully as not to seem suspicious.

"Yeah, you've never told us about lady Jieun's mother before." Ayana also seemed interested.

"Eat your breakfast first and meet me in my study after this. We need to talk for a long conversation." Grandma Susan said as she walked away not letting another question be put to her again.

"Strange when grandma is suddenly serious like that." Said Ayana while observing Jieun.

Jieun also just looked at her without saying anything since she also didn't understand what was really going on. What is clear to her is that she really wants to know the story of her life there.
