"What the fuc-" Younghoon and Sangyeon both stop eating after they saw Yina walking down with Hyunjae.

"Er... Hi ?" she awkwardly waves her palm and takes a seat beside Hyunjae.

"Uh uh." Younghoon stretches his arm out to prevent Hyunjae from eating, raising his eyebrows.

"Mind to explain ?"

Hyunjae sighs and holds Yina's hand in the air before opening his mouth.

"We're dating."
"We knew that part but how did she end up here ?"
"You knew ?"

The two of them nod, making Yina and Hyunjae confuse.

"All of you guys knew ?"
"Let's say you guys suck real bad at pretending. So ? You didn't answer Younghoon's question."

Hyunjae clears his throat and continues eating, while Yina looks down at their intertwined hands.

"She came over and we talked until midnight so I made her spend the night here."
"You guys didn't do se-"
"NO."

Yina quickly replies before Sangyeon could finish his question.

"Okay then. Just as prevention step, don't do it while we're still here."

Hyunjae immediately kicks Younghoon's leg under the table and that has him hissing in pain.

"Are you sure you want to meet him..? You can say no.." Yina asks for reassurance. They were about to get off the car when Yina pulled Hyunjae back onto his seat.

She obviously doesn't want him to witness how ridiculous her father could be sometimes.

Hyunjae softly pats her hair, eyes looking into hers lovingly.

"What if I have a talk with your father this time ? You trust me, right ?"
"I do but-"
"Then that's all I need. Let's go, angel. I can't wait to meet your father."

It'd be a lie if Hyunjae says he's not nervous to death the moment the front door is opened. Holding Yina's hand, he puts his thumb into use by drawing circles on Yina's.

Greeting the maid who opened the door earlier, he already made a good first impression.

"Hello, I'm Yina's boyfriend," he says while smiling. The maids there chuckle and praise Yina for finding a good guy.

"Boyfriend, huh ?" Yina tries to remove her hand from Hyunjae, but the guy tightens his grip even more after making eye contact with her father.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Seo." he bows, and Yina checks for her father's reaction. The old man stares at Hyunjae and her repeatedly.

"Let's have a talk, young man."
"My pleasure, sir."

Watching Yina's father walking away, Hyunjae then turns around to see the daughter.
