The break came quicker than they could ever think and today was the day that everyone's parents were in town. The member had woken up hours ago deciding to lounge around until their parents came to their dorm so they could all travel to Han River together.

The boys were all sat in the living room, Jake and Jay watching Vincenzo while the others were on their phones or playing games to pass the time.

Ara was still in the bedroom, she was worried about what their families would think of her. She wanted to make sure she was ready for today, she had no doubt in her mind that today might be hard for her seeing everyone with their families but she also couldn't wait to meet them all.

Ara's POV

I kept hearing the door go and people come into the dorm but I couldn't bring myself to go out and meet people not yet anyway. It felt too soon, my own family had just practically disowned me and now I have to meet everyone else's families all together.

One last knock at the door and I knew everyone's famies were hear. The quiet in the dorm disappeared when the boys' families got to know eachother.

I could hear their conversations through the door.

"Oppa where is Ara, I can't wait to meet her." I heard a female voice ask.

That must be Sunghoon Oppa's sister I thought to myself.

"I think she is a bit nervous at the moment, she will come out soon I promise." I heard Sunghoon explain.

I couldn't keep them waiting forever I might as well get this over with. I place my hand on the handle and opened the door.

I walked straight into the living room a chorus of happy hello's welcomed my ears.

"Hi, I'm Ara. Nice to meet you all." I replied and bowed formally.

I think some families were shocked at the fact that I had spoken English instead of Korean.

"Ara it's so nice to finally meet you, Jungwon talks a lot about you to us. He was so happy when you joined the group." Jungwon's mum explained.

"That's very nice to hear." I replied politely.

"When are your family arriving my dear?" A woman spoke gently to me

"Mum!" I hear Heesung exclaim. "Sorry Ara." He spike softly, just like his mum.

"It's okay Heeseung Oppa." I said while smiling at him. "My family weren't supportive of my dream and took me away from their family name now that Heeseung Oppa has signed a paper to say he is my legal guardian, they aren't coming because they aren't my family anymore." I looked down embarrassed.

"Oh my dear, we are all your family now." Someone else spoke.

"Thank you, I appreciate it very much."

After getting to know each other a bit more Sunghoon's sister approached me.

"Unnie you are really pretty." She exclaimed.

"Thank you so much Yeji. You are very pretty too." I replied.

I watched as the young girls cheeks went slightly pink at the remark, she quickly turned to face Sunghoon. Her mouth agape she pointed at me and then to herself, she quickly ran to his side.

"Oppa, she knows my name!" She exclaimed excitedly.

Sunghoon laughed while looking back at me.

"Well yeah, I do talk about you alot to her." Sunghoon explained still laughing.

Yeji walked off, the biggest smile on her face. I watched as the boys had  conversation with their families.

It was nice to see Ni-ki with his family after he spoke about missing them so much to me.

Jake also had his famous grin on his face while sat with his family.

While I was knelt watching them I felt a small nudge on my foot. I looked down to see an adorable cream border collie.

"Hello there." I spoke softly as I patted the dogs head.

The dog seemed to understand me as it jumped up at me, knocking me down onto the floor.

"Oh Layla, leave Emily alone!" Jake exclaimed while running over to stop Layla jumping onto top of me further.

"I'm so sorry." Jake said.

"Oh it's fine dont worry. Layla is very cute so I will forgive her." I spoke truthfully.

"Shall we leave for Han River now?" Jungwon asked walking towards us.

And just like that we all started leaving, me and the boys split into two cars and their families following in their cars.

It took around 45 minutes to get to Han River, because we left first we waited near the car for the boys families to arrive.

When everyone had arrived they walked to a spot on the grass near a tree so there was shade on the hot day.

Jungwon's mum had packed some blankets to put on the floor, Ara helped her place the blankets onto their spot.

"You are a very helpful young lady aren't you?" She spoke.

"Oh I just like helping people no matter what." Ara replied.

While Ara was helping Jungwon's mum Jake and Sunghoon were helping each others families to bring food out if their cars. Ni-ki, Jay and Sunoo were putting out camping chairs for the grown ups while Jungwon and Heeseung were trying to find some stones to put on the corners of the blankets so that they wouldn't blow up.

After everything was set up and everyone was settled either on a camping chair or the blankets they starting eating the food that they had all prepared.

Even the members had prepared some food for their families. Well the members meaning Jay and Ara. Ara had made some brownies and Jay made ramen.

As they were eating everyone was getting to know each other better than what they has seen from i-land. However, the boys had noticed that Ara was being quiet so they tried to move the conversation onto something that she could join in with a bit more.

"Ara, you still haven't told us who your favorite member of i-land was." Jay spoke up.

"Ooooo Unnie had a favorite, I bet it was one of youuuuu." Yeji added in a teasing tone.

This made Ara turn bright red which amused the adults.

"Well all the parents are here so you have our blessings if it is one of our sons." Jake's mum spoke.

"Mrs Sim!" I complained.

"Yeah ew." Ni-ki added.

"Yah, be nice to your Noona!" Ni-ki's mum spoke rasinging her hand threateningly resulting in everyone else laughing.

"It wasn't one of you guys it was Geonu Oppa." Ara spike shyly.

That was it. The teasing started from there, the whole time the boys threatened to phone him, especially Sunoo wanting his new favorite ship to sail.

Ara realised in that moment that she didn't need her negative family she had a whole new family right infront of her and she was more than happy with it.

The boys had kept their promise which was that thier families would treat her as one of their own, which to no surprise they did. Heeseung's family even suggesting that she kept their last name permanently.

After their amazing time with their families the end of a beautiful day seemed bittersweet as they would have to wait a couple of days to be able to see them again because of their schedule and after that meeting their now one big family, evidenced by a WhatsApp group with everyone in, would have to go back home.

That night Ara didn't need to sleep in anyone else's bed, surprising the boys slightly. She was very happy and couldn't wait to see her family again. Especially Yeji, she wanted to spend some more time with her and she planned to do just that.
