(mother of Julia)

They arranged their things and bought groceries at the supermarket.
Eunjun’s mother was busy cleaning the kitchen when suddenly, Eunjun began to hear some noise from upstairs.
(mother of Eun-jun)
It seemed like a new neighbor had moved in.
(mother of Julia)
Julia, let's get some gifts for our neighbors and then come with me to introduce ourselves. Btw I want to give you a Korean nickname so they can call you with a good way. Introduce your name "Jangyu"
Julia (Kid)
(laughing) Okay...😄
*As Eunjun’s mother was cleaning the kitchen, she heard a knock on the door. Opening it, she found their new neighbor from upstairs, holding a small box of snacks with a warm smile.*
(mother of Julia)
Hello, I'am Jina and my daughter...
Julia (Kid)

(mother of Julia)
We are looking forward to getting to know all of you, becoming a part of this great neighborhood and we’re happy to be here. 😊
(mother of Eun-jun)
I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and extend a warm welcome to all of you. We’re so happy to have you as our new neighbors! Moving into a new place can be both exciting and challenging, but please know that you’re not alone and we’re eager to help you settle in and make this place feel like home. ^^

*Eunjun hide in the grass.*
All his memories of his father flashed back.
(father of Julia)
“Like a flower reaching for the sun, may you always rise with love and strength, knowing I’ll be here to help you grow. I love you my precious little one Julia"
*Julia (Jangyu) started to cry, in front of the flowers*
Eun-jun (Kid)
Why are you crying?
Eun-jun (Kid)
Is the flower made you cry?
*then Eunjun trows the flower*
Julia (Kid)

The sound of Eunjun's mother's voice filled the air

Let’s go out to eat at a restaurant, it’s on me, and then we can take the kids to the arcade for some fun!
Eun-jun (Kid)

Julia (Kid)

Eun-jun (Kid)

Eun-jun (Kid)
Let's play at the arcade later.
*they returned to their homes.*
Fun at the Arcade
*They are walking through the entrance*
Eun-jun (Kid)
Jangyu! Let’s head straight to the racing games! I bet I can beat you! 😅
The arcade is filled with cheers, the sound of buttons being pressed, and the engines roaring from the racing games. Eunjun and Jangyu are intensely focused, while their moms watch, sharing a smile.
After several rounds of racing, Eunjun and Jangyu decides to try other games.
Julia (Kid)
Eunjun, I dare you to try the claw machine!
Eunjun stands in front of the claw machine, trying to grab a stuffed bear with the claw. After a few attempts, it drops.
Eun-jun (Kid)
Haha Okay, okay, I admit defeat. This thing is way harder than it looks!
Julia (Kid)
Haha Told you! But it’s fun anyway.
Later, after playing several more games, they go to a nearby restaurant.
(mother of Eun-jun)
Alright, it's my treat today! Let’s go eat something delicious.
Julia (Kid)
Yay, food! What are we having?
(mother of Eun-jun)
How about some spicy tteokbokki?
"I want a corndog," Eunjun and Jangyu both exclaimed at the same time.
*They stared at each other and laughed.*
Julia (Kid)
Haha! 🤣 i mean, I want cornbread!
(mother of Eun-jun)
Oh, cornbread? There's a restaurant nearby that serves the most delicious cornbread.
(mother of Eun-jun)
Let's go to another restaurant.
They headed over to The Americana Grill for a meal.
(mother of Julia)
Ah I know this restaurant. Jangyu, do you remember this place?
Julia (Kid)

Her mother was left speechless, unable to find the words.
