Once Hanbin gets to the orphanage, he sees Zhang Hao's waiting for him outside. He parks his car before getting out and walking over to him. "Hey, you didn't have to wait for me. I could've asked around."

"It's fine. I didn't wait for too long." Zhang Hao tells him. "Now come on, I had told Yujin I was coming today, so he must be waiting."

Hanbin just nods and follows Zhang Hao inside. "Hao! You came!" Yujin comes rushing towards him after a few minutes and jumps into his arms.

"I told you I would." Zhang Hao smiles. "Did you think I was lying?"

"No." Yujin quickly shakes his head. "Hello, Zhang Hao's husband." Yujin turns to Hanbin and bows politely at him.

"Hey, Yujin." Hanbin smiles at him. "Do you remember my name?" He asks him and Yujin just stays quiet. "You don't, right? My name's Hanbin." He tells him. "Sung Hanbin."

"Oh, right!" Yujin smiles. "Hanbin." He repeats. "When can I go live with you guys?" He frowns.

"Are the other kids still bothering you?" Zhang Hao asks him. "If so, you need to tell me so I can let the workers here know."

"No, it's okay." Yujin shakes his head. "I'm just a little bored of being here."

"I'll be right back. I'm going to the restroom real quick." Hanbin tells them before walking away from them.

"The three of us are going to live together, right?" Yujin asks him.

"Yes, we are." Zhang Hao nods. "I know it may seem like I've been saying this for a long time, but you'll come home with us sooner than you think, okay?"

Hanbin walks around, trying to find that one worker he saw at the wedding. Maybe he can convince her to let Yujin go out with them for a bit. "Hello, are you looking for someone?" He hears behind him and turns around to see the worker he was looking for.

"Oh, hi." He smiles. "I'm not sure if you remember me, but you went to my wedding a few days ago. You went with one of the kids here... with Yujin." He tells her.

"Oh, you mean Han Yujin?" She asks him and he just nods.

"Yeah, I guess." He mumbles. He still doesn't know Yujin's last name.

"Yeah, what about it?" She asks him.

"Well, as you know, my husband and I really want to adopt him and we're going house hunting today. Just in case we do end up qualifying for the adoption, we would like to know Yujin's opinion, so is it possible for him to go out with us for a little bit so he can help us pick a house?"

"I'm sorry about that, but that's not allowed." She shakes her head. "Sorry."

"Really? Is there any way you'd allow it? I could even leave my phone and car keys here. I promise we'll come bring him back here."

"I'm sure you have good intentions and all, but it's not allowed."

"Oh." Hanbin just nods. It was worth a try.

"But what I can do is go with Yujin. If I come along, he's allowed to leave."

"Wait, really?" Hanbin smiles. "That'd be great, thank you. Yujin will be really happy to go out and me and my husband will be really happy to spend time with him."

"Alright, I'll just go let them know I'll be taking Yujin out."

"Okay, thank you so much." Hanbin tells her before walking back towards Zhang Hao and Yujin.

"Where were you? Is everything okay?" Zhang Hao asks him since he was gone for a little too long.

"Everything's okay." Hanbin nods, then turns to Yujin. "Yujin, would you like to come house hunting with us?"
