"Enwoo! It's so good to see you again!" Jin exclaimed, giving him a warm hug. "Where have you been?"

"Hi, Jin-hyung. I went back home to see my parents for a while."

"Ah, I see. How are they doing?"

"They're okay. My grandma passed away, though."

"Oh, Enwoo. I'm so sorry." Hoseok said, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Me too, Enwoo. I'm really sorry for your loss." Jin said sincerely.

"Thank you. I appreciate your kindness."

"Enwoo, you don't have to thank us. You're the one who saved our lives. We can never repay you for what you did." Hoseok said earnestly.

"Please, Hoseok. Don't say that. I'm just glad everything turned out fine."

"Enwoo, look at me." Jin said gently. He looked straight into Enwoo's eyes. "Thank you, Enwoo. You're brave and smart and kind. You're our hero. We cannot imagine what would have happened to Tae if you didn't find him?"

Enwoo felt his cheeks heat up. He didn't know how to respond to Jin's words. People flirted with him and he flirted back and occasionally things turned different, at times even ugly. But tonight, he found some people who are being nice to him and liked him. This was unseemly apart from his parents who treated him with care and love. As he was lost in thoughts, Hoseok suddenly interrupted.

"Hey, are you hungry?" Hoseok asked, changing the subject. "We were about to grab some food. Do you want to join us?"

"I don't know. I don't want to intrude."

"Nonsense. You're not intruding. You're our guest of honor." Jin said firmly.

"Yeah, Enwoo. Come on. We want to treat you to a nice meal." Hoseok said persuasively.

Enwoo looked at them hesitantly. They seemed sincere and eager to spend time with him.

"Please, Enwoo, it's the least we can do." Jin said softly.

"Okay, okay. Fine. I'll go with you." Enwoo said finally.

"Yay! Let's go!" Jin said excitedly. He called his daughters who ran over and hugged him tightly.

Tae also came over and wrapped his arms around Enwoo's leg.

"Hi, Tae." Enwoo said with a smile. He bent down and picked him up. Tae snuggled into his chest and giggled.

"You're so cute, Tae." Enwoo said affectionately.

Hoseok smiled fondly at them.

"He really likes you, Enwoo." He said.

Jin nodded in agreement.

"He does. And so do we." He said.

Enwoo felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He looked at them and smiled back. He felt like he had found some good people in this lost and busy city.
