None POV:

The next morning, Seokmin was taken by surprise when his parents returned to Seoul for a visit. At first, he felt delighted by the unexpected reunion with his parents. However, his happiness quickly turned to apprehension as his parents presented him with a proposal for marriage.

Seokmin was not mentally prepared for this. He was still reeling from his recent breakup with Joshua. He desperately wanted to refuse, but his father dropped another bombshell – the prospective fiancée and her family were on their way to meet them that very day.

Seokmin had yet to share his recent heartbreak with his brother Woozi, and he hoped for support or understanding from him. Unfortunately, his brother seemed oblivious to his turmoil and went about preparing for the impending guests.

Feeling dejected and emotionally torn, Seokmin sighed in resignation. His thoughts were in chaos, and he longed for Joshua's comforting presence, even though he couldn't bear the thought of facing him again. With a heavy heart, he readied himself to meet his future fiancée and her family.

Time Skip at the evening:

Seokmin and his family had gathered in the living room, waiting patiently for the arrival of their special guests. Soon, the distinct chime of a doorbell echoed through the house.

Seokmin was about to rise and answer the door, but his brother Woozi swiftly intervened, placing a hand on Seokmin's shoulder.

Woozi: "Wait. You stay here. Let me check the door."

Seokmin wasn't particularly eager to engage with his prospective fiancée and her family, so he readily acquiesced.

Seokmin: "Fine."

He remained in his seat, leaving his brother to receive the impending guests.
With a slight but mysterious smile, Woozi gracefully rose from his seat to greet their guests at the door. The sounds of cheerful giggles from outside slowly made their way to Seokmin's ears. At first, the laughter seemed like ordinary guest chatter, but there was one particular voice that resonated with familiarity.

Seokmin's curiosity grew, and he anxiously watched as the guests made their way inside. As the door fully opened, shock washed over Seokmin as his eyes locked on a sight he could never have anticipated.

There, walking into their home with Woozi, was Joshua. His heart skipped a beat as he saw Joshua, his striking appearance further enhancing the surprise. Joshua looked impeccable in his plain black blazer, perfectly fitted black pants, and a sleek and expensive wristwatch.

Seokmin couldn't believe his eyes, and a swirl of emotions overwhelmed him.
