The next morning Song Ren woke up feeling lightheaded. She stirred out of bed and walked towards the kitchen without dressing out of nightwear. Each member of the Song Family preferred cooking over letting any of the helpers do it.
Her mother and father had left the country early in the morning again to who knows where. They traveled often since Song Jinyi and Song Jun turned eighteen. She thought that this is what older couples tend to do after all of their children have grown.
Song Ren cooked some eggs, mushrooms, vegetables, and brewed some black coffee. She cooked several dishes out of habit for her siblings when their parent's left the country.
After placing all the dishes on the kitchen island, Song Ren drank out of her coffee mug while looking out at the green yard through the window. She did not expect someone to sneak up behind her.
