"Oh, sorry. I thought the worker was here." Hanbin whispers to Zhang Hao once he realizes she's nowhere to be seen.

"Oh... it's okay." Zhang Hao tells him. "She went with Yujin to look around the house."

"Oh." Hanbin just nods.

Zhang Hao thinks for a while and decides to ask him. "But how did you know I play the violin? And other instruments?"

"Ricky talks a lot about you to Gyuvin, so then Gyuvin told me about it."

"Makes sense." Zhang Hao just nods. Ricky talks a little too much sometimes. "The music room won't be necessary though. I don't need a whole room for my violin."

"I've looked around the house and I love it! Can we live here please?!" Yujin asks excitedly. "I really like it here!"

"I'm fine with that." Hanbin nods. "What do you think, honey?" He asks Zhang Hao since the worker is back.

"Oh... I'm fine with it too. As long as you two like it, I'm more than okay with it." Zhang Hao smiles.

"Okay, good. We'll buy this house then."

"Would it be too much to ask if we can go out to eat with Yujin?" Hanbin asks the worker. "It won't take too long."

"I'm sorry, but he has to be back at the orphanage by 6. We'll be late if you take him out to eat."

"Okay, then we can leave that for another day, okay Yujin?"

"Okay." Yujin nods sadly. He doesn't want to go back to the orphanage. He had a lot of fun hanging out with Zhang Hao and Hanbin, but now he has to go back to reality. "I'll miss you so much. Please come visit me soon." Yujin tells them. "I had so much fun today! I can't wait to live in the mansion." He smiles.

"We can come again tomorrow. How about we go watch a movie?" Hanbin asks him.

"At the movie theater?!" He smiles. "I haven't gone in so long!"

"Would that be okay?" Hanbin asks the worker.

"I'll check my schedule and let Zhang Hao know later." She tells them. "Now we have to go, so say bye, Yujin."

"Bye." He frowns. "I'll miss you."

"We'll miss you too." Zhang Hao gives him a small hug and a kiss on the cheek before he goes back into the orphanage with the worker.

Zhang Hao just frowns. It's always sad for him when he has to say bye to Yujin and leave him here. Hanbin notices the sad look on Zhang Hao's face. "Don't worry, we'll adopt him soon. I'm sure we'll meet the requirements."

"You really think so?" Zhang Hao asks him. "I'd just never be able to forgive myself if someone else adopts him... or if I have to leave him here."

"Don't think like that." Hanbin shakes his head. "We have the house now. We just have to decorate it and then we can adopt Yujin."

"Okay." Zhang Hao just nods and tries to stay positive.

The next day came around and thankfully, they were able to go to the movie theater with Yujin. The worker had to come along, of course, but she stayed a little more behind this time.

"Yujin, what snacks do you want?" Hanbin asks him.

"Just some popcorn is okay." Yujin tells him.

"Some popcorn? Okay, what about you, Hao?"

"Some popcorn's fine too." He nods.

"Okay, you two can start heading in to find our seats. I'll be right there, okay?"

"Okay, come on, Yujin." Zhang Hao takes his hand and they walk away from Hanbin as the worker follows them.

After Hanbin buys the popcorn and some snacks, a surprised reaction forms on his face when he turns around and sees Matthew. "Matthew?" He asks, surprised.

"Hanbin? What are you doing here? I thought you couldn't make it."

"Oh... right." He had completely forgot Matthew was coming here today. "I kind of forgot about it, sorry."

"It's okay. Are you watching the movie I was telling you about?"

"No, I'm watching one a little more family friendly." Hanbin tells him.

"Family friendly? The animated movie that came out?" Matthew asks him and Hanbin nods. "I really wanted to watch that one too, though. If you didn't want to see the movie I picked, you should've told me. I think I want to watch that one too."

"Oh..." Hanbin doesn't know what to say as Matthew goes buy the other ticket for the other movie. Hanbin sighs. What is he going to do now?

Just as he's standing there, a surprised expression forms on his face when he sees Ricky and a guy he hadn't seen before. "Hanbin? What are you doing here? Is Zhang Hao here too?"

"Yeah, he went to find our seats with Yujin." Hanbin nods.

"With Yujin too?!" He asks surprised. "I didn't get to talk to him today since I was working, so I wasn't aware of this." Ricky tells him. "Jiwoong, this is Zhang Hao's husband, Hanbin. Hanbin, this is my boyfriend, Jiwoong."

"Hi, nice to meet you." Hanbin extends his hand out for Jiwoong to shake.

"Nice to meet you." Jiwoong smiles and shakes his hand. "Are you guys watching the animated movie?"

"Yeah, we are, actually." Hanbin nods. "You too?"

"Of course! Those animated movies are the best!" Ricky nods. "We'll see you inside. We'll go find Zhang Hao."

"Yeah, okay." Hanbin nods as they walk away from him. What is he going to do with Matthew? What is he going to tell him? Should he tell him the truth or lie to him about who Zhang Hao and Yujin are?

"Hey, I got my ticket and some snacks." Matthew comes back. "Why did you get so much candy? I remember you didn't really like them before."

"Oh... they're for Yujin and Zhang Hao." Hanbin tells him.

"Yujin and Zhang Hao?" Matthew asks, confused. He knows they haven't really been close for a whole year, but he had never heard about them before... not even from Gyuvin.

"Yeah... Yujin's my son." Hanbin tells Matthew. "And Zhang Hao's my husband."
