"You seem to be enjoying yourself. You look very comfortable." I said, seeing him lounging comfortably.

"I am comfortable here." He replied. And then my phone rang so I picked up.

"Yes?" I said.

"Where are you Se Rin?" asked Jun Woo oppa.

"I'm at home with Chan and Ji Sung. Why?"

"That's good. Stay there. Abeoji has a sudden meeting. So, we'll be eating dinner at home."

"Okay. I was just about to head to you. Is there anything I need to prepare?"

"Just hang out with Chan. Invite your friends to have dinner there."

"Okay. I'll tell them." And then I hung up.

"Is everything okay?" asked Chan.

"Do you guys want to eat dinner here? Oppa told me to invite you two to dinner. He'll be home later to cook."

"Can we really stay over for dinner nuna?" asked Ji Sung.

"Of course! Chan, why don't you play games on the console with Ji Sung?" I suggested.

"What about you?" he asked.

"I need to do something first. I'll join you later."

"Okay."

Then I turned around and went back to my room. I changed into comfortable clothes then set up my laptop on my table. Inspiration struck me earlier while I was having a hard time breathing. I chose one of my ready tracks and edited it until I was satisfied. It only took half an hour to edit the track because it was already satisfactory to me. Before I started writing down the lyrics, I called ssaem and asked him to help me with recording the guide tomorrow afternoon. He agreed and then I started writing the lyrics. I sang along to it as wrote it. And after another 30 minutes, I was done. As soon as I was done, I saved my work and joined the boys in the living room. They were playing Just Dance. I watched them for a while before playing a few rounds with them.

When oppa arrived, he was carrying groceries. I helped him bring them to the kitchen. Then he and Chan exchanged greetings and we introduced Ji Sung to him. Oppa then went to the kitchen and started making dinner. While he made dinner, I cooked the rice and set the table. That's when I told him that I had received my ID and my pass from JYP. When he asked me if Chan knew everything, I told him that I haven't told him yet. He told me that he respected my decision of not telling him. But advised me to tell him before he finds out through someone else. I told him that I'll tell Chan when we meet at the JYP building.

Eomma and appa arrived just as we were settling down to eat dinner. They were so happy when they saw Chan. And they welcomed Ji Sung warmly when we introduced him to them. We had a nice dinner together and while we were eating dessert, appa suddenly asked me something that caught me off guard. I had to answer his question but that meant that I'm revealing my secret to Chan and Ji Sung.

"Se Rin ah, Gyu Seon asked me to tell you to take things easy. Are you really going to record something again tomorrow?" asked appa. I looked nervously at everyone and I saw that they all had their eyes on me. I knew I had to answer.

"Yes. It was on short notice. And I wanted to finish it as soon as possible so I can send it quickly." I replied.

"Se Rin ah, we're letting you do what you want. But you have to take care of yourself." Said eomma.

"Yes. I'm not overworking myself."

"So, for whom did you make a song for now?" asked Jun Woo oppa.

"You're making songs?" asked Chan in surprise.

"The company rep called earlier and asked if I could make a song for Got7's album. I finished it already. I'm going to the studio tomorrow to record the demo. But I don't know who can record the guide for me. After all, I need it to be a boy. I think I'll ask Min Soo or Sung Jin to help me." I said. Then I looked up and saw that both Chan and Ji Sung had stopped eating their dessert.

"Se Rin ah, are you a composer? Are you making music?"

"Yes." I answered in a small voice.

"Wow! Why didn't you tell me?! I'm so happy for you!"

"Wait, you're not mad at me for not telling you?" I asked, confused.

"Why would I be mad? You're making your dream come true! Of course, I'd be happy for you!" he said, making me feel relieved.

"Was that why you had so much money nuna?" asked Ji Sung.

"Yes." I replied.

"But you said you were spending the money you've saved through your allowance."

"I was spending that money. I don't really spend my money except when I commute. And I really had saved a lot of money that came from eomma and appa. But most of my money is because of copyright royalties."

"Wow!" said Ji Sung who looked amazed.

"By the way, can you guys help me record tomorrow? I can't record the guide myself because the song is for Got7." I asked them.

"I honestly don't know. We'd have to ask for permission from our company first."

"Okay."

"Okay, let's stop talking about work now. Let's just enjoy dinner." Said appa. So, we all went back to eating.

After dinner, Jun Woo oppa cleared the table while I helped eomma in the kitchen. I saw her packing some kimchi and side dishes. She explained that they were for Chan and Ji Sung. After she was done packing them, she gave me some cash and told me to go to the grocery with them to buy snacks for them. Oppa heard us talking and told me that he'll give us a ride. Chan and Ji Sung said good bye to appa and eomma and then we got into oppa's car. He brought us to the grocery which shocked Chan and Ji Sung. But they just followed us inside. I took a big cart and then we went around the grocery.

"What are we doing here nuna?" asked Ji Sung.

"Eomma asked me to buy you some groceries. Just grab what you need and what you want."

"Really?!" they asked in surprise.

"Yes. And don't worry about side dishes, eomma packed side dishes for you guys. It's in the car."

"Why?" asked Chan.

"I think eomma sees you as another son because we're very close. And he knows that your family is far away."

"But can we really get what we want nuna?"

"Just go ahead."

Then we went around the grocery. After going back and forth from aisle to aisle, the cart was full. So we went to the check out. While waiting for our turn in line, the company representative called. I left them for a bit to answer the call. I told him that I was recording the guide tomorrow and requested if Chan and Ji Sung could help me with it. After thinking for a bit, he agreed and he seemed pleased that I was working quickly. When I got back to the line, Chan and Ji Sung were playing around. I told them that the company agreed to let them help me with the guide. They looked happy and then we agreed to meet at the studio after lunch. When we were finally done grocery shopping, we went back to the car where oppa was waiting for us and then put everything in the trunk before bringing Chan and Ji Sung to their dorm. We helped them with the groceries and the side dishes. We only helped them into the elevator before we said our good byes.

Oppa and I talked a lot about our day on our way home. Oppa liked asking me about my day because he liked to help me when I have problems. When we arrived at home, I sent Chan and Ji Sung the lyrics and the song I made that we were going to record tomorrow. I asked them to practice it and then I went to bed.
