1206 Words
Jessica had just finished cooking breakfast for her family, as usual after cooking she would wake up her two heroes, Jordan her husband, and Fred her only son with Jordan.
"Honey, let's get up for breakfast first."
Hearing his wife's call him. Jordan just didn't wake up or intend to get out of bed. Jordan instead eroded the distance between him and his wife. He tightly hugged Jessica's waist which now sits nearby.
"Let me go, Jo."
"Let me be like this for a second, I'm still exhausted."
"But today you're working, so get up and have breakfast. Otherwise, you'll be late" Jessica told Jordan.
Jordan rose briefly from his sleep to kiss his wife's chatty lips, "What a nag, my dear."
"Don't tease me, get up. If in ten minutes you don't wake up I'll punish you."
"Ck, how fierce."
"Get out of my way, Jo. I need to help Fred get his needs ready for school because today is the first."
"Don't leave me" persuaded Jordan to his wife.
"Don't be spoiled, and get ready."Jessica left Jordan. After successfully escaping Jordan's confinement, she immediately fled from there. If she doesn't leave soon it will lead to a bed scene later. That's why she left after she broke away from Jordan.
"If I knew like this I wouldn't let Fred go back, I'd let him keep studying business in China alone."

"Morning Dad," greet Fred to his father.
"Morning my boy."
"Are you ready to go to school today?" Jordan asked his son,
"Of course dad, Dady allowed me to go to art school, right?"
"Yes, if I don't allow you to be there I will be killed by your mom," Jordan said he whispered not to be heard by Jessica. But Jessica's hearing was so sensitive that Jordan's very slow voice could still be caught clear.
"I'm listening to you Jo," Jessica said.
Even though she was in the kitchen preparing a meal for breakfast, but Jessica could still listen.
Fred just chuckles listening to a small showdown between his parents. As long as he stays abroad this kind of scenery he never met. Because every day he is only with his housekeeper aunt and a personal assistant who used to help him in learning.
"Mom" called Fred on the sidelines to eat his breakfast.
"Yes dear, why?"
"Let me go alone to school," said Fred asking his mother for permission.
“I won't let you, you haven't been here for a long time. Vancouver has changed a lot, I'm afraid you'll get lost."
"It won't be Mom, even though I haven't lived here in a long time. But I'm still a Vancouver kid so there's no way I'm lost" Fred told his mother.
"But boy –“
"Let it go, Honey. Our son is old, so we don't have to worry" Jordan cuts the debate between mother and son.
"Thank you very much, Dad. I love you" said Fred cheerfully.
"But Jo –"
Jordan hints with his body to stop Jessica's worry for Fred. Jordan asked to give his son full confidence.
Jessica was silent, she preferred to obey her husband's words. But in her little heart, she still wasn't willing to let Fred go on her own. Because Jessica still thinks her son is her little boy who still needs to be closely guarded.
"If anything happens, immediately call Mom"
"Okay Mom"

Hannah's lecture schedule today is very tight because she will be studying from morning until afternoon. She brought a lot of her painting gear because there was additional material so Hannah decided to bring additional equipment that she brought from home.
As a result, the luggage is quite a lot and it is very troublesome. Moreover, she took the bus because Adam could not drive her After all, he had a scheduled morning to keep watch at the hospital. literally, She can bring her car but Hannah's too lazy for that. While Laura's aunt is free but she didn't deliver her because she couldn't drive the car.
So Hannah prefers to bother with her luggage. While waiting for a bus to pass by she saw a confused-looking teenage boy as if the child was lost.
"Hi, Boy? Are you lost?" asked Hannah to the teenage boy,
"Ah, I think I got on the wrong bus earlier" replied the young man.
Hannah nodded and introduced herself, "I'm Hannah, what's your name? I'll help you if you want" Hannah smiled when she finished offering help.
"Isn't that going to bother you?" the teenage boy was a little awkward, so asked him that way because he was afraid that he would troublesome Hannah.
"Of course not, I'll help you. Come with me"
The young man follows Hannah from behind and then he sits with Her at the bus stop.
"You haven't told me your name yet," asked Hannah again.
"Ahh, yes. My name is Fred."
"Hi, Fred" greets Hannah with her sweet smile.
"How did you get lost? Are you the new kid here?" asked a curious Hannah.
'It's like I got on the wrong bus, I just got back from overseas so maybe I'm still confused so I'm lost.'
"Where do you live?"
"I live in the Gastown area."
"You must have got on the A1, right? That's why you got lost here. You should've boarded the A2 bus, Fred."
"Really? I think it's the same thing. Because I remember the bus codes A, B, D, and P, so I thought bus A would take me to the West End area. Isn't every bus code a destination code?"
Hannah chuckles when she hears Fred's story, then she explains "Yes it used to be, but it's been changed since two years ago. There is a new policy from the government for bus codes"
"Ahh I don't know, I'm so stupid why not look for that information."
"It's okay, I'll take you later. I thought we were one route, you went to Flo's art academy, right?"
"How do you know? Are you a clairvoyant?"
Hannah laughed out there. Fred is very funny because of his innocence, and it makes Hannah unable to contain her laughter.
A confused Fred finally asks, " Is there anything wrong with me."
"No,"
"Then why are you laughing?"
"Because you're funny, hahaha," said Hannah who could no longer contain her laughter.
And unexpectedly, suddenly Fred's cheeks were flushed with embarrassment. His cheeks warmed up because he was too embarrassed by his stupidity.
"Okay, I'm sorry I couldn't help myself," said Hannah after laughing.
"It doesn't matter to me,"
"So you asked me, how am I going to know?"
Fred nodded, to which Hannah replied with "I graduated from that school, so I know from your uniform because it is the same uniform color as mine, and now I'm at Flo University. It's not too far from the academy, so I'm offering you to go together. So you want it, right?"
Not having had time to answer Hannah's question, because the girl even exclaimed cutting Fred's speech that had not been spoken. Hannah shouted to let him know that the bus they were going to be on had arrived.
"Come on Fred, our bus is here."
