Intimidated

Her dad did not stand from his seat, so as her mom. But Bianca's mood did not change. She was like a little girl who had just come back from kindergarten after a day of activities. She ran to her dad's side and, with him in his seat, sat up straight. Without a smile on his face, Bianca hugged him from his side.

"Appa, na watteoyo,"[Dad, I'm here (in a childlike tone)] Bianca playfully greeted her dad before she kissed his cheek to her side.

Bobby Han cleared his throat. His eyes never leaving Asher's face with a stern gaze.

Asher's nervousness augmented. He didn't know what to do. He cannot blame Bianca for being excited to see her parents and forgetting him, so he was pinned to his feet. He was thankful when Bianca's mom noticed him and warmly welcomed Asher to the table.

"Young man, come and join us for breakfast," Bianca's mom stood up from her seat to guide Asher where to sit.
