Quantum Entanglement Love (Series 1)

It was the weekend when Minjin chose to visit Mrs. Jeong. Upon arriving at the small, cozy eatery, she noticed only a few diners. The warm and tranquil atmosphere, with the inviting scent of home-cooked meals.
When Mrs. Jeong saw Minjin, her face brightened, and she approached with a beaming smile. "Minjin-ah, what brings you here?" Mrs. Jeong asked, her voice laced with pleasant surprise.
Minjin raised her hands to reveal a carefully wrapped box. "I wanted to give you this. It's ginseng—I brought it for you," she said softly.
Mrs. Jeong hesitated momentarily, unsure about accepting such a generous gift. "Oh, Minjin, you really shouldn't have," she said quietly, but Minjin gently urged her, pressing the box into her hands.
"Thank you, Minjin-ah," Mrs. Jeong finally said, touched by the gesture. "Are you going to eat? Please, take a seat."

"No, thank you, Mrs. Jeong," Minjin responded, politely shaking her head. "I need to head somewhere else. I only stopped by to give this to you."
The door swung open as she wrapped up her words, revealing Heo Yeong-hwan. His face was slightly flushed, and he held a helmet in his hand. "Eomma, I finished the delivery," he declared, then froze in surprise upon spotting Minjin. His eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "What are you doing here?"
Before Minjin had a chance to respond, Mrs. Jeong exclaimed, "She brought me ginseng! I'm so pleased you're here, Yeong-hwan. We have another delivery—this one is for Mrs. Cho, just a few blocks from here. But it's too heavy to carry alone." After a brief pause, she turned to Minjin with an encouraging expression. "Minjin-ah, would you assist my son with the delivery?"
Minjin blinked, surprised by the request. She looked at Heo Yeong-hwan, who observed her with a neutral expression. After a pause, she nodded slowly. "Of course, I can assist."
Heo Yeong-hwan and Minjin strolled together on the sidewalk, holding part of Mrs. Cho's orders. The sun was beginning to set, creating elongated shadows on the pavement, while a gentle breeze stirred the leaves of the trees along the street.
"You know," Heo Yeong-hwan said with a playful smile, "there's no need to send gifts to my mother. Are you thinking of making her your mother-in-law?"
Minjin gave him a teasing glance, picking up on his tone. With a smirk, she responded, "I might just be her daughter... and you'd be my sibling."
Heo Yeong-hwan feigned offense, his face twisting in a playful pout. "I don't want to be your brother," he grumbled.
Minjin chuckled at his reaction.
Heo Yeong-hwan's demeanor relaxed as he glanced away, attempting to conceal the slight smile on his lips. "I believe I'd prefer to discover another way to keep you close," he murmured as though he hadn't intended to voice it.
A comfortable silence enveloped them for a brief moment, embodying an unspoken understanding.
