"How was your catch up with mom?" I asked Joonho, we had gone into my room and the boys left us alone as they still felt bad. "It was good, a bunch of tears were shed from the both of us. She asked if I was always in Korea and I told her not really because I moved here 4 years ago." He said, I was caught off guard because he had been living here for a shorter amount of time than I thought. He then proceeded to explain how he grew up in China with his step mom and came back to Korea to find his biological mom by enrolling to university here. So when he transferred school he was REALLY new, he left his childhood friends to search for his mom. No wonder his stepmom has a bitchy attitude.

"Mom doesn't want you to see dad..." Joonho softly soft as he looked away, "She said it's because he doesn't know about the car accident, nor that Luhan and Jackson passed away. She's scared that he'll do something to the both you." He continued. I knew that my mom didn't want me to see him but I didn't exactly know the reasonings.

"Xiao-li~~~" said Chenle as he entered the living room, "Why are you calling me that?" I questioned him. "Because it's your actual name not "Lia", also how did you get Lia from Xiao-li?" Chenle asked.

"Because one of my brothers wasn't able to pronounce my name so he added an 'a' at the end of 'li' so we got Lia." I explained to him, he was so lost and I told him to just forget it.

"Anyways, does Joonho want anything to drink?" Chenle asked, I looked at him to see if he'd answer and he said no thank you.

"You do know that we just got in here right Lele?" I said to him, he went quiet and asked him what was wrong. He started crying, I quickly got up and embraced him as I didn't know what was wrong.
Joonho had gotten up as well to see if he was okay since he wasn't sure if it was okay to hug him as well

"Please don't leave us Noona..." Chenle said with a weak voice, my heart broke as I still held him in my arms, I looked up at Joonho feeling as if I was going to cry as well and he hugged the both of us.

"What makes you say that?.." I asked him, he was trying to wipe away all of his tears but they just kept coming back as he was about to say something. Joonho was telling him to breathe and calm down a bit and so he did. I had forgotten that he knows what to do in these situations since he probably had to calm Haneul down as well. Once Chenle was calm enough he looked at me and began to speak.

"The hyungs were basically saying how you're going to be moving away now since you both have found eachother... they think that you're going to be going back with your dad and never visit us again because of how horribly we've treated you.." he said with his voice breaking, his eyes were still pouring out his tears.

I felt bad because I know that I will have to leave some day but seeing how much the thought of me leaving hurts him so much. But at the same time I wanna hurt the guys for putting that thought into their heads so early.

"Go call the boys... ALL of them." I told him, he wiped his tears before leaving the room and once he left I sighed.

"Do they know you're relationship with dad?" Joonho asked me, I shook my head no and told him that I only gave Johnny a summarized backstory. Other than that, everyone else knows that I don't like him nor have the best relationship with him.

"Did he ever mention Luhan and Jackson?" I asked Joonho, he looked at me all confused. "He?.." Joonho questioned, that's when it clicked in my head that he doesn't know I don't call him dad.
