While Song family was busy cheering Qiang, on the other hand, Gon got nostalgic when he was served chicken broth soup and porridge. He was quietly having his dinner while reminiscing those sweet memories.
Song Hao observed that Mr. Secretary was staring at the soup and was busy thinking about something deeply. He asked, "What happened Mr. Secretary?" He was sure by seeing Mr. Secretary's face that he wasn't facing any problem while eating.
Everyone looked at Gon. Gon got startled a bit and thinking about some cover-up. Uncle Song understood what he was thinking and chuckled at his efforts of finding a cover-up.
Thus, uncle Song said on his behalf, "It is said that when you stare at certain things intently, that means you are thinking about the memories related to it…"
Qiang commented, "Ohh really, then Mr. Secretary must be thinking about his family, right?"
When Gon heard it, he looked down at chicken broth soup and a very small but sweet smile appeared on his face and he whispered, "Family… indeed."
Looking at Gon's happy face, uncle Song became more sure that he was right, Gon was indeed thinking about his small family.
Qiang got excited and asked, "Mr. Secretary, we never heard about your family. How many people are there in your family?" the very next moment Gon's face fell down and he replied, "I don't have any family now."
Qiang regretted his behavior. He quickly said, "Oh sorry. Wait… you have us now! We are also your family, right uncle?" Uncle Song nodded but he knew that how much Gon is missing them…
Song Hao thought about something and asked, "Mr. Secretary, how does your family would look like according to your imagination?"
Gon thought about those days… he said in a small voice with a short smile on his face, "A leader like father, whom we respect and love; a caring and sweet mother, who also has charisma like our father; an elder brother, who is the bravest yet understanding sibling amongst us; and a little notorious sister on whom we all dote a lot, she will be the soul and energy of our family…"
Song Hao got startled at his response. He never expected the 'Mr. Grim Reaper' also has this kind of side.
Song Qiang's mind was buzzing. He thanked God in his mind that even if he lost his parents, he still has his elder brother and uncle who is as good as a parent. Suddenly, he felt that this wasn't the imagination of Mr. Secretary but… he must have once had such family, his eyes… seemed lost in the memories of his family…
On the other hand, uncle Song was surprised. He always considered Gon as their family member but he never thought that Gon felt the same for them. This kid… was so much attached to them, especially his Miss and Young Master.
Dinner was going well with the usual bantering between the Song brothers. While having the soup, Gon missed the soup made by his Miss. He remembered those days,
.
It was her first time making a soup of chicken broth. She literally begged the Royal Chef to give her a chance of making chicken soup, but no one wanted her to tire herself. So, she obeyed them and went to her chamber.
But who was she? She was the little devil disguised in the form of an angel!
At night time, she sneaked out of her chamber and went to the royal kitchen. To her dismay, someone caught her ear, that person said in a hush voice, "Promise to share!" she chuckled and replied, "of course."
The person was none other than the young Crown Prince who went to check up on his sister since she was looking sad for the whole day. He asked, "What do you want?"
The young princess replied, "Brother, I wanted to make chicken soup! You remember when we went out last time, I saw how that grandmother was making the soup. It was so delicious! I also want to make a soup for all of us!"
The Crown Prince chuckled at the weird wishes of his little sister. His little one is indeed different from other noblewomen. He nodded and decided to keep a watch.
After some time, a faint but delicious smell of soup started to spread around the room. He quickly closed the windows of the kitchen and looked behind. His little one was pouring soup in three bowls. He came near her with a confused face, just then, she called, "Gon ah, you should join us too!"
With a gush of wind, Gon came out of nowhere. Crown Prince was shocked, he couldn't notice Gon's presence at all! He smirked and thought, 'he has indeed trained himself well!'
The three of them sat and started sipping the soup. Just in one spoonful, the Crown Prince and the princess felt that the soup got a bit strong taste of chicken, but still, it tasted well.
Just then the Princess felt something was wrong so she looked at Gon. Both the siblings got shocked when they saw Gon taking the last spoonful of his soup… he finished already!
Gon got embarrassed and said, "Prin… Miss, thank you so much. The soup was very… delicious," and looked at the pot. The Princess became so happy and asked, "Do you want another serving?" Gon wanted to nod but he was so embarrassed to do it.
The Princess caught that, so without waiting for his reply, she filled his bowl. Both the siblings were looking at Gon like the parents looking at their child. From then onwards, she often made this soup for him whenever they got the chance.
Just like that, she started trying different recipes. It had become her favorite hobby to cook for Gon and her brother, the Crown Prince.
Later when Royal Chef caught them, he liked the food made by the Princess and thus allowed her to make small dishes for one meal. The Princess got excited and asked him to keep it secret.
.
Gon finished his dinner quietly, but inside, he was craving for that soup.

She said in a tired voice, "Hic!... Ahh... Who is... hic!.. missing me this... hic!.. much. God, please... hic!. tell them to... hic!.. call me. It would... hic!.. be better."
Mother Yoon came to call her for dinner, "Su Yeon ah, come for dinner." Su Yeon replied, "Hic!... yes mom... hic!"
