In that restaurant is full of costumer, mostly are Filipino as well. Mrs. Han was busy taking care of some other customer when Sandra arrived.

Mrs. Han approached the table with a Filipino and Korean girl dating in her restaurant for the first time.

"Oh! it is our regular customer... I see now!!"

The boy stands up quickly hugged her tight and whispered in the Tagalog language so that the girl with her can't hear it.

"Aunty, can you help me please... can you improve my image with her it's our first date today."

"Oh, is that so?"

"Yes, she is the girl that I used to talk about with.."

"Really? then okay let me handled it!"  the two motioned before the boy returned to his seat. And Mrs.Han approached the girl.

"Hi dear, my name is Mrs.Han the owner of this restaurant. You can also call me Aunt if you want, also the people here of the same age as you usually calling me like that so... if I'm not mistaken.. is it your first time here, right?"

"Ah, y-yes it is.." the girl said.

"Oh, don't be too shy...  Do you know that Jeff has always talked about you and I heard it's also your first date? By the way, we also have a lot of Korean dishes here just tell me what you want."

"I-is that so..is it okay?"

"You don't need to worry I'll give it to you for free! any type of dish!"

"Ah, there is no need for that... it's my first time here its embarrassing to take it for free.. i..."

"Haha! You don't need to feel too embarrassed about it.. we've been honored that you choose our restaurant for you're the first date!. Also, Jeff is a regular customer here, and all of the customers here like him we treat like our real family so since you are also the reason for our Jeff beautiful smile then we should just treat you also like our family, right?."

"That is right !!!" Sandras shouted that and immediately approach them.

"Oh, it, Sister Sandra!!" Jeff smiled happily.

"There she goes! Please don't misunderstand she is also one of my kids here like Jeff I treat him like my real son, she is also like my daughter!" Mrs. Han introduced her.

"So!? is it true that our Jeff is already a grown-up man now!? And if I'm not mistaken then she is the girl you are always talking about right... Our Jeff has a good taste huh!"

Jeff felt embarrassed and simply apologize to his girlfriend.

"I'm so sorry.. the truth is, this is the first time I introduce them, my girlfriend. They're waiting for a long time to personally meet you. I'm very sorry I didn't tell you earlier so... if you feel uncomfortable I understand and.."

"What are you talking about? It is okay! It feels good to meet them! so can you cal yourself and relax now!!"

"W-what? A-are you sure?"

"Of course I am! Now that I met them and heard a lot about you and how you treat each other even if you are not in a real bloodline it feels so good it feels like I officially meet your big family and I'm sure now, that I choose the right person to be my partner! A very good man!"

Jeff felt embarrassed and blushed more when the girl said it to him.

"That is right again!! All the customers here even if they are not Filipinos we still considered them as family right people!!??" Sandra's shouted again to all of them.

All of the customers there also replied in the same word.

"YES! THAT'S RIGHT!!!!"

"Oh, I'm so touched.,.. then to make my big family happy? All the dishes you order tonight will be discounted!"

"LONG LIVE MRS.HAN!"

"But it's only for tonight is that okay.. or I will go bankrupt."

 "Long live to Mrs. Han!!!"

"Hope her restaurant to more stable!!"

"Have more and more customers!"

"AGAIN !! LONG LIVE MRS. HAN!!!"

"LONG LIVE! LONG LIVE !"

All the customers shouted and clap their hands! Loud laughter and shouting dominated Mrs. Han's entire Restaurant.

After a while, the band started playing on a small stage, as well all the people turned around and there they will see Cindy standing on the center of the stage and holding two microphones, while the band still playing, Cindy step down from the stage and gave the other microphone to Sandra, and then finally Cindy starts singing that makes the whole people feel happier and enjoy the music. The cooks and other dishwashers in the kitchen including Mr.Han the husband of Mrs.Han talking about what happened in the dining of the restaurant.

"Looks like our pretty singer is here again huh!" the dishwasher said.

"It's very good to have a talented niece right, what do you say Mr.Han?"

"Well, we are born to be talented!" Mr.Han simply smiles while taking a look at Cindy who is busy singing and dancing with other customers.

Yes, that is Mr. Han.  Also, a second cousin of Cindy's father. That is also the reason why Cindy can stay in Korea for a long time.

Cindy starts singing with the background music of the band playing.

 🎶

Na Na Na Na

Take a look around, Who would've thought we'd all be here.

So let's mess around, cause the future is unclear.

We got nothing better to do, we're just trying to get through.

Can you hear me? Can you hear me, yeah!

And then finally Sandra also starts singing too, while the other people dance in conjunction with the music and the song.

🎶

Let the music take you, Let the melody move you.

Feel the beat and just let go, Get the rhythm into your soul!!

While they were having fun inside the restaurant, while in the outside a large and black expensive van parked in front of the restaurant... There are two men and a woman on board. It was Lee Hajoon, his assistant Annie and his manager Mr.Kim. Hajoon takes down a tiny window and starts looking around the place.

"Where are we?" Hajoon asked in the Korean language.

"You said you want some peace of mind right, and you said you want to lose your stress even for a short time didn't you?"

"Are you serious?! In this kind of place? What if someone recognizes me here.. your just adding to my problem."

"Mr. Lee most of the people here don't have time to waste their attention on some famous people like you... Well, maybe some of them will but... huh! I'm a regular customer here so I'm pretty sure that you're safe here... right Annie?"

Mr.Kim quickly gives a signal to the Hajoon personal assistant and she also instantly gave her opinion.

"Ah yes, that's right! Sir.. my mom already knows that you are coming so she must have already told the people here to keep you safe from the reporters... they can't even get in here easily, because in our area it strictly has a rule here so you can't just be picked by anyone here."

"Y-you leave here? And w-who is your mom?"

"Ah, Annie's mom is one of the official officers here also the owner of 'THAT' restaurant."

Hajoon simply glances at the restaurant in front of them.

"In that restaurant, I am sure that you will feel the relaxation that you are looking for. So now how about we get out because I've been hungry for the smell of good food for a while!! Ah! I almost don't forget to wear your cap, just to be sure that no one else can notice you!."

When they got out of the car the manager noticed some people dancing inside the restaurant.

"Oh! Annie its looks like they having a good time in your restaurant today... is there any occasion today?"

"Hmh.. but mother didn't tell me anything.."

They immediately went inside. And just like the two said, no one has even noticed them entered until they sat in the place they choose. 

"Oh... Unnie  Cindy and Unnie Sandra...They're here, then that makes sense.." Annie said.

"Who are they? This is the first time I saw them here.." Mr.Kim asked.

"Ah, that girl in a yellow is sister Sandra a regular customer here like you, and beside her is Sister Cindy her best friend and also my father's niece. They are also my mom's regular customers and consider her daughters.. they are also the one who helps my parents here in the restaurant but recently they are so busy with their job so they can't come here every day."

They continued to watch them singing.

🎶 

All we have is now, Let's make the most to this.

Come on break it out, so everyone can hear it.

They don't have to understand, But we'll make them if we can

Do you hear me... Are you with me! yeah!

Chorus:

Let the music groove you.

Let the melody moves you.

Feel the beat and just let go!

Get the rhythm into your soul!

Let the music take you... Anywhere it wants to.

When we're stuck and can't get free

No matter what we'll still be singing!

( Come on, come on turn up the music, it is all we got, were going to use it.

Come on, come on turn up the music! yeah! 2x )

( repeat the chorus)

When the song is done, everyone shouted and applauded. Annie immediately talked to Mr.Kim and Hajoon.

"Sr. can you wait for a minute...I just need to talk to my mom so that I can introduce her to you."

When Annie left, Hajoon starts complaining to Mr.Kim in the Korean language.

"Now let's talk, are you sure we are at the right place right now... it's just that, I think it's not a good idea to be here.. also I'm expecting to be in a quiet place ..."

"Listen... it is not like an expensive restaurant like you use to visit also all the drinks here are not expensive like in another bar that you use to drink... but the most important thing is that in this place you will meet the person that will help you relieve your stress.."

"I think I know who is that person... Let me guess, it's Annie's mom, right?"

"BINGO! "

Hajoon sigh.

"Well in your situation now you need a person who can act as parents and I am so sure about it! The best pain reliever is a parent's  comfort!"

"Hah, whatever!"

"Okay.. listen to me first! You know that I once used to be stress like you are now... I also think of being alone or going to places where I can be alone, but when I found this place I also feel that thing... I also think that I'm not suited to this place and I know that my stress will not even go if I'm here...But when I decided to go to another place where I can be alone Annie's mom... she encourages me.. she even listens to my problem and comforts me even if we don't know each other that's why start that day I always visit here after work and have a chat with her. She listens to me and that is the reason how I know that she is Annie's mother. And do you want to know why I choose a place instead of the others?... not only Annie's mom can comfort me here also all of these people. All of them help me to move on and each of them give me some of their ideas.. Think about it,  why did I bring you to this restaurant instead of an anywhere much better place..."

Hajoon burst out a heavy sighted again.

Did you see those people most of them are Filipino and I know you already know what kind of people are and that is true.. all of the people here considered each other a family even if they are not in the same bloodline. They take care of each other, they make all the people here feel that they are all family..

"Lee Hajoon I've been your manager since you were 19 years old I know everything about you even about your family matters and the reason I brought you here... because I know that in this kind of situation you need a family who you can rely on... a family who can give you advice. Hajoon, sometimes it is good to see that you are on your own.. But it is also felt good if there is someone who can understand and willing to listen to you.

Hajoon looks at him seriously.

"You, when did you become a serious person... where did you learn to speak like that? Should I cry now?"

"Hehe... I just want is to help you, you know what I mean so just try it. I assure you that it will go well."

"Alright, fine I'll stay! But stop speaking Iike that, it chills me!!!"

Mr.Kim smiled at him and they continue to wait for Annie and her mom.
