"She's fine."
"Okay please don't go yet, sit back for breakfast." Without waiting for his reply, she went back to the kitchen.
Placing her hand on her chest, Petra breath a sigh of relief, "Whew, that was so close."
Looking at Sebastian who was busy smiling while staring at a particular spot, Ryan waved his hands over his face, "Are you alright?"
"He has been acting weird, I think he did this?" Petra snapped.
"What? Mom how could you think of your son that way? Do you think I'll want to tarnish my reputation with my bare hands?" Helplessly shaking his head, he grabbed the magazine from Ryan, "Forget about the erasing thing."
Widening their eyes in shock, Ryan and Petra snapped, "What!"
Ignoring their weird expressions, he quietly fold up the magazine, "Its was written and has gone viral." Looking at the both of them, he added, "Didn't you guys called me aromatic? Ah, I guess this article isn't a waste after all."
"Are you nuts or what?" Ryan gasped and stood up.
"Please ask him,"
Without saying anything, he tossed the magazine aside, "I don't want it erase anything period, let it be the way it is. I change my mind, thanks." He retorted and clasped his hands. When yesterday's scene flashed in his head, he smiled and reversed his words.
Crossing his arms, Ryan furrowed his brows and focused his gaze at him for a long time. He couldn't believe if this was actually his cousin talking. Sebastian barely goes back to his words. His words are always finally and perfect. But now, no one could tell the actual purpose why he switched his words.

Dinning room
Meanwhile here in the dinning room, Sebastian dropped his fork and placed his elbows on the table. Rubbing the back of his hands, his eyes narrowed at the beautiful damsel whom was busy rushing her meal like someone who was sentence to a hunger imprisonment.
A flash smile appeared on his lips. He has been smiling whenever he sees her since he flashed back on yesterday's memory. The flashback makes him smile to the point of grinning, especially the part were Jin-joo called him handsome.
But unknowing to him, Ryan was busy watching every eye contact and glare he makes to her.
Looking at the grinning guy, Petra cleared her throat, "Sebastian, are you normal?"
Rubbing his eyes, he fanned his face, "Uhh–no–I mean yes,"
"Then why were you grinning like a goat?"
The sound of Petra referring her son as a goat made Jin-joo spat out the water in her mouth and coughed vigorously. Almost choking on her meal.
Getting up, Sebastian quickly rushed to her aid. "Jin, are you okay?" Grabbing a tissue from the table, he gently wiped her mouth.
Raising their brows, Petra and Ryan glared at each other before turning towards the two adorable persons.
Sebastian and Jin-joo were about to say something at the same time but swallowed the rest of their words when their eyes locked together. Awkwardly gazing into each other's eyes for quite some time.
"I–" They paused for a while when they said the same thing at a time.
"I didn't–" Pausing for a while when their words rhymed together.
Awkwardly scratching his neck, Sebastian rolled his eyes at his mother and cousin whom were busy chuckling in silent. Looking at Jin-joo, he smiled, "You first."
Shyly shaking her head, "No you first." She cupped her cheeks.
"Where is it written in a phrase that states 'Men first'?" He raised his brows.
Lowering her head, she bit her lower lip, "I insist you go first."
"Hmm, seems like you love a bit of argument, right?" Crossing his arms, he dramatically freaked out, "Oh duh uh, we are just gonna remain like this."
Jin-joo who has been battling with the urge of bursting into laughter, ended up laughing her lungs out, "You are really a goat according to aunt Petra."
"Holy moly, did you just called me a goat?"
Crossing her arms, she dramatically flicked a strand of hair backward and scoffed, "Oh yes I just did."
"You–" He chased her around the dinning room.
"Ahh," She yipped up and started running in circles.
Meanwhile, Ryan and Petra where busy watching them with an astonish expression on their faces. They've never seen Sebastian played so hard like a child, especially with a woman.
"Stand still. I swear I won't hurt you."
"Why should I? Oh so you could catch me, am I right?"
Trying to catch his breathe, he furrowed his brows, "No you're not right, am the one who is always right."
"Let's see about that Mr Grinch." She scoffed and dashed out of the dinning room.
