The alluring aroma of Grandma Im's meat dish wafted through the air, tempting my taste buds and igniting my hunger. I couldn't wait to indulge in every flavorful bite she had skillfully prepared with love.

"This is good, Grandma," I praised with a grin, my heart brimming with contentment. "I feel alive."

Beside me, Evan nodded eagerly, his eyes shining with delight. "Absolutely, Grandma. Your cooking has some kind of magic. Each dish tells a story."

Grandma Im beamed with joy as she watched us relishing the meal she had poured her heart into.

As we gathered around the table, Grandma Im's eyes turned tender, curious about my decision to leave the bustling city life behind.

"My dear, are you sure you don't have any regrets about leaving the city?" she asked gently, concern etched on her face.

I smiled earnestly, my conviction unwavering. "Yes, Grandma, I'm sure. My main goal has always been to continue the farm's legacy, to nurture this land that means so much to us."

Confidently, I explained, "Besides, I can always take on small programming projects as a freelance programmer. It will not only help support the farm financially but also allow me to embrace both my passions—technology and the farm."

A look of pride and admiration spread across Grandma's face. "You've grown into such a wise and strong young woman," she praised, her voice brimming with affection. "Your dedication to the farm is admirable, and I have no doubt you'll succeed in both your endeavors."

Her words filled me with gratitude and reassurance, knowing that I had the love and support of my family, especially my wise and caring Grandma Im. As we continued to enjoy the meal together, I felt a deep sense of belonging and purpose, knowing that this farm was not just my past, but also my future—a future I was eager to embrace with all my heart.

After dinner, we all gathered in the cozy living room, the atmosphere filled with warmth and laughter. It was a momentous occasion, celebrating Grandma Im and Grandpa Bo's 60th wedding anniversary—an extraordinary milestone deserving of a grand celebration.

With excitement in my voice, I exclaimed, "Happy 60th wedding anniversary, Grandma and Grandpa! I've brought back something special for you." I presented a beautifully wrapped package, carefully chosen to symbolize the love and growth that had flourished over the years.

Grandpa Bo's eyes sparkled with curiosity as he unwrapped the gift, revealing a packet of flower seeds and a young plant. "Oh, how lovely!" Grandma Im chimed in, her face beaming with delight. "These flowers will add even more beauty to our cherished garden."

"I thought you both would enjoy planting and nurturing them together," I explained, my heart swelling with affection for the couple who had been an unwavering source of love and support.

Evan, joining in the thoughtful gesture, added, "And here's something to help you relax and unwind after all these years of hard work and dedication." He handed them a foot massage set, a token of appreciation for their tireless efforts.

Grandma Im's eyes glistened with gratitude, touched by the heartfelt gesture. "Thank you, Evan," she said, her voice tinged with emotion. "These 60 years have been filled with so much love and joy, and having all of you here with us today makes it even more special."

As the evening unfolded, the living room transformed into a cozy haven, alive with laughter and heartfelt conversations. Amidst the warm ambiance, I couldn't wait to share another surprise with Grandma Im and Grandpa Bo.

"Since it's a special day, I brought something for you both," I said with a grin, reaching into my bag. I pulled out a VHS tape of the classic movie "The Wizard of Oz." "This timeless film holds so many memories for us. Let's relive those moments together."

Grandpa Bo's eyes lit up with excitement, and Grandma Im's face softened with affection. "Oh, 'The Wizard of Oz'! What a delightful choice," she said, touched by the sentiment. "We used to watch this magical movie all the time when we were younger."

Evan joined in, his eyes shining with nostalgia. "It'll be a fantastic movie night, like old times," he added.

With unanimous enthusiasm, we set up the VHS player and gathered around the screen. Just then, to our delight, Neko, our beloved cat, gracefully strolled into the room. She seemed to sense the joy in the air and made her way to the cozy blanket spread on the floor.

Evan chuckled and reached out to stroke Neko's soft fur. "Looks like Neko wants to join our movie night," he said with a chuckle.

I patted the blanket beside me, inviting Neko to join the circle. "Come on, Neko, there's a spot for you right here," I coaxed. To our surprise and joy, Neko gracefully hopped onto the blanket, making herself comfortable among us. She settled in, purring contentedly, as if she knew she was right where she belonged.

As the iconic opening scene of "The Wizard of Oz" played on the screen, we were instantly transported to a world of magic and wonder. The familiar characters of Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion came to life before our eyes, and we found ourselves immersed in the enchanting tale.

There was a certain charm to watching these classic films on VHS tape, a nostalgia that added to the overall experience. The crackling sound of the tape, the rewind and fast-forward buttons, and the feeling of anticipation as the film played—all these elements created a unique movie-watching experience that couldn't be replicated by modern streaming services.

Startled awake by the loud rumble of thunder, my heart pounded in my chest as I stumbled out of sleep. The suddenness of the noise had jolted me from slumber, leaving me disoriented in the darkness of the night.

I peered out of the window, my eyes searching for the familiar sight of neighboring houses and the usual landscape surrounding the farm. But to my surprise, everything seemed different. The usual twinkling lights from nearby houses were nowhere to be seen, and the vast fields that I knew so well were replaced by an eerie emptiness.

A feeling of unease washed over me, and I knew I had to investigate. Stepping outside into the cool night air, I was met with an unsettling silence.

As I walked further, my confusion deepened. The barnyard was still there, but the surroundings had transformed into an otherworldly scene. A new mountain loomed majestically behind the crop field, its presence both stunning and unnerving. I couldn't comprehend how such a significant change could have occurred overnight.

Lost in thought and disbelief, I couldn't help but wonder, "Where is this place? Why does everything look so different?"

Evan, still rubbing his eyes to shake off the sleepiness, emerged from the house with a puzzled expression. "What are you doing out here in the middle of the night?" he asked, trying to make sense of my unexpected presence outside.

I turned to him, my eyes fixed on the sky above. "Look up, Evan," I said, my voice tinged with wonder. "There are two moons tonight."

As Evan gazed up at the sky, his confusion mirrored mine. The sight of two moons hanging in the darkness was undeniably surreal and left us both questioning the reality of what we were witnessing. Before we could grasp the significance of this peculiar phenomenon, a sudden change disrupted the night's tranquility.

With a soft ping, a vivid blue screen materialized right before my eyes it was Head-up Display or in short HUD. It hovered in the air, an ethereal presence that seemed to defy the laws of the world we knew.
