"I thought.. I thought it's just you, mom? Why is my noonas here?!"
"Why not?! We just wanna see who your boyfriend is!"
"Right, it's our baby brother's boyfriend, you rarely get one. We have to meet him"
Vernon sat down beside Seungkwan, awkwardly watching as the Boo Family talks to each other about the things they missed since they last seen each other. He doesn't know what's going on so he decided to just stay silent.
Mrs. Boo noticed how silent he is, "So, What's your name, son?" She asked, bringing Vernon in their conversation.
"Ah.. I'm uh.. Vernon Chwe-"
"Really?!" Both Seungkwan's sisters, Jinseol and Sejeong suddenly gasped.
"Do you know him?"
Jinseol let out a chuckle, patting her younger brother on the shoulder. "You scored big time, baby bro."
"Mom, he's the one Seungkwan keeps talking about since before! One of his first crushes besides Wonho, that solo artist" Sejeong explained to her mother.
Seungkwan scoffed and rolled his eyes, "What do you mean first crushes? I had my fair share of middle school first crushes! He's not one of them"
"Yeah, but he looks like one of them"
"Okay, Leonardo DiCaprio is handsome but that doesn't mean I have a crush on this dude just because he looks like him! My point is I started crushing on him in College, alright?"
"Why are you so defensive? I'm just saying. Oh! Are you feeling embarrassed? You're so cute, baby bro"
"Still cute as ever~"

Seungkwan and his sisters has now left momentarily to hang out by themselves, leaving Vernon alone with Mrs. Boo.
It was awkward, Vernon was and not Mrs. Boo. Mrs. Boo was at least still humming to herself so there wasn't complete silence between them. After a few minutes, Vernon decided to finally get the courage to talk to her without being awkward.
"Mrs. Boo, how is Seungkwannie as a son?" He didn't know what to ask so he just asked the first question that popped up in his mind.
Mrs. Boo couldn't help but giggle at that question since it was so unexpected, "Well.. Kwannie is.. how do I say this? Way to much of a family man, he's a nice and kind son. He's a blessing to the Boo family. He's selfless, but way too selfless"
"Selfless?"
"Yes. It's not that him being selfless is a bad thing, it's just prioritizing others over himself and only caring about others than himself is different. He's the latter"
"Oh, I did notice.."
"Kwannie lacks self-confidence, looking at him now, I feel like he's building that confidence. Maybe.. because of you?"
"Me? What made you think that?"
"I don't know much about you, but I do know a lot about my son. If you look at him, it's easy to tell what he's thinking. He may look like that but I could tell he's hiding something.. You're not actually his boyfriend, are you?"
Vernon started to internally panic at that point. He wasn't even doing anything and yet somehow Mrs. Boo managed to see through that.
"You don't have to admit it! I just noticed because of my son. You're really good at acting"
"Well.. partially, I guess? Most of it was acting."
"Oh! So you have feelings for him?"
"I- I don't know? I guess I do.. I've always convinced myself that I'm just infatuated with him but I don't know.. I guess it's more than that?"
"Hmm.. Well, that's up to you, son. Talking to you right now makes me remember the time when me and my husband first dated.."
Their conversation was immediately interrupted when Seungkwan and his sisters finally came back from where they went to earlier.
"We're back!" Seungkwan sat down on the seat beside Vernon and stared at him. "Oh, right. Vernon, I got you something" He said as he handed him a shopping bag.
Vernon peeked inside, "What's this?" He asked.
"Wear it later! We're gonna walk around town with Mom"
