It was quite late when Wonwoo and Inha reached their destination in Busan. They had decided to spend a few days in the seaside facing property that Woozi's parents maintained as a hotel. However when Wonwoo wanted to book a room for a few nights, Woozi's parents were generous enough to not take any other customers for those days so that Wonwoo and Inha can spend their holiday in peace without having to be worried about getting mobbed or spotted by fans. They were given the best hanok in all of the property which had a pool and an entrance to the private beach. It was the perfect blend of modern and tradition.

"Aigoo, isn't your wife so pretty! You two make a great couple Wonwoo-ya" gushed Woozi's mom after seeing Inha for the first time as she and her husband didn't attend their wedding. Inha just smiled and bowed at the well-meaning woman who continued:

"You are such a good boy for listening to your parents and getting married at the right time Wonwoo-ya. Look at my son, he doesn't even want to see any proposals that we show him. It's not like he's getting any younger and on top of that his grandmother wants to see her great-grandchildren in her lifetime. I can only hope and pray that happens"

"Yeobo, don't bore our guests by talking bad about our son, but Wonwoo-ya, does he even have any intention to marry or is he seeing anyone?" Woozi's dad, hopefully, asked his son's close friend.

"Aaah Abeo-nim, I don't think Jihoon is seeing anyone. And seeing him being holed up in his studio, I don't think he has intentions to marry anytime soon" Wonwoo said truthfully, gaining a smack on his arms from Inha for being so blunt in front of Woozi's parents who already looked sad.

"Anyway, call me if you need anything Wonwoo-ya" Woozi's dad mentioned sadly, turning to leave.

"Ne, Abeo-nim, kamsahamnida" Wonwoo replied

"Come to our home for breakfast tomorrow. After eating, Jihoon's appa will take you around Busan" said Woozi's mom.

"Ne, Eomeo-nim, will keep this in mind."

As soon as the middle-aged couple left, Inha turned around, her hands crossed in front of her, ready to reprimand him for his bluntness concerning Woozi's love life.

"Wonwoo, you didn't have to be so blunt. They looked so crestfallen after hearing about Jihoon oppa's love life" Inha said

"But I just answered their question, what's wrong with that?" He said, hugging her, not even allowing her to be angry at him.

"Do you want to wash-up first or should I?" He asked, looking down at her adorable but angry expression.

"You wash first, you must be extremely tired after driving for so long"

"Good answer" he said pecking her lips and letting her go.

"Take a hot shower. It will help relieve the stress on your body" she said as he picked out his t-shirt and shorts from the duffel bag.

"Yes, ma'am. Do you perhaps wanna join?" He asked her teasingly.

"No thanks, I am still angry at you" she retorted back, earning a chuckle from him.

"Arasseo"

While Wonwoo was showering, Inha laid out the traditional floor mattress for them to sleep on. Then she informed Sarang, FeiFei that they had reached their hotel and then looked at the pictures that Wonwoo and her took on the way and smiled at the way her life had changed for the better.

After Wonwoo came out after his shower, Inha quickly gathered her night clothes to take a warm shower herself and by the time she was done, Wonwoo was out like a light, the almost 4 hour drive from Seoul, taking a toll on his body.

Inha quietly finished her night routine so as to not wake her sleeping husband and got into bed next to him, her hands naturally snaked around his waist to hug him which made Wonwoo stir in his sleep only to turn around to hug her back. The couple peacefully slept, knowing that they had each other to love and cherish in their lifetime.

Wonwoo woke up first the next day. The sun was already out and the rays shone beautifully against his wife's face and she stirred, not really wanting to wake up from Wonwoo's warm embrace.

"Good morning beautiful! Time for breakfast. We need to go to Jihoon's" he reminded her.

"5 more minutes please. You are so warm, I don't want to get up" she whined, snuggling even close to him. Usually Wonwoo snuck out from their bed to get ready for his schedules but because they were on a holiday, he decided to give in and cuddle her, giving a kiss on her forehead before he pressed her face against his chest.

"Okay, 5 minutes and then we are getting up" he said, closing his eyes.

However, they woke up almost 1 hour later, both of them feeling guilty for not heading towards Woozi's parents' place for breakfast. They quickly rushed through their morning routines, got dressed and almost walked-ran to have breakfast with the middle-aged couple.

"Joeseonghamnida, we overslept" both of them bowed, apologizing to the older couple who were already having breakfast with Woozi's grandmother.

"It's okay children, you both must have been so tired after driving for so long. Now come and eat" Woozi's mother warmly said, as she got up to bring more dishes and cutlery for the couple. Inha automatically followed her to the kitchen to help her bring them to the table.

"What is your name child?" Woozi's grandmother asked Inha.

"Kang Inha, halmeoni," she replied politely.

"What do your parents do?" She asked her

"My father is the chairperson of KN Pharmaceuticals," Inha said.

"Aah, you are a Chaebol huh? You are so well-mannered to be a chaebol" the grandmother said which honestly sounded more like a snarky remark than a compliment. Inha just bowed at that, not knowing whether to say thank you or just be silent. She didn't really like being called a chaebol and knowing this Wonwoo squeezed her hand as a sign of assurance.

"Eomeo-nim, stop quizzing the young lady. Let them have breakfast in peace" Woozi's mom reprimanded her nosy mother-in-law. Yet the grandmother continued without paying any heed to her daughter-in-law's words.

"Do you have any sister or cousin?" The grandmother asked and everyone around the table seemed to guess where the conversation was heading towards: Finding a match for Woozi whereas the man in question was already halfway across the globe accompanying a distressed Hoshi, not really knowing that his life was about to change its course completely.

"Ne, halmeoni I have a younger sister" Inha said quietly, losing her appetite as she thought about all the things that could go wrong in Woozi's life if he gets married to her half-sister.

"Eomma! Enough, let her eat. Uri Jihoon will find someone when the right time comes" it was now Woozi's dad who reprimanded his mom which seemed to shut the old lady's mouth but not without muttering something that almost sounded like a curse.

"Quickly eat and get out of here" whispered Woozi's mom and the young couple finished their breakfast in record time to escape listening to the grandmother once more. Soon they were seated in Jihoon's dad's car, on the way to visit a few markets that aren't usually busy and other spots and beaches that are less frequented by the general public.

Lol! We hate nosy grandmothers don't we? Also what do you think would be Woozi's story? Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter. I wanted to write what could be the member's interaction with their member's parents would be. But don't worry, more vacation moments to come in the next chapter.

Thank you for the love and support you've been showing for this book.
