" My Papa is here!"

Joshua was too stunned to talk. What were they going to do now ?

" What am I gonna do?" asked Joshua panicking

"Hide!!!" exclaimed Seokmin. Both of them started looking around to find a place for the task.

Mr. Lee kept on ringing the door bell. " Seokmin!!!" he shouted

" Somewhere!" shouted Seokmin

" Yeah but where?" asked Joshua

Joshua finally decided to hide under the bed. Seokmin took a deep breath and opened the door.

"Hi, papa" he said with a soft smile

"Why are you fidgeting? What took you so long?" asked his dad suspiciously, looked at Seokmin

"I was in the restroom" replied Seokmin innocently

" So you were in the restroom for a long time " said Mr. Lee, still suspicious. But he decided to end that discussion

"Why is it so dark here? Am I in a cave?" asked his dad, his eyes wandering around the room. Seokmin laughed and replied

"As bright as it can get"

" It's roomy. Very good" appreciated the elder man

" Are you taking Materials Engineering Class with Professor Joong?" he asked his son

" That professor? Is he your friend ?" asked Seokmin curiously

"Not exactly, he's my senior. We met earlier and he told me that you will join a music competition." replied Mr. Lee

Seokmin nodded excitedly.

"Good. That's great" His dad went near his bed and sat down. Joshua quickly covered his mouth since he didn't want the old man to learn about his presence

"By the way, is our neighbour's son participating in the contest ?" asked his dad in a serious tone. Joshua knew that he was talking about the American. He wanted to listen to as to what Mr. Lee had to tell about him.

"I have no idea" replied Seokmin

"I'm sure he will. Remember when you were a drummer. He followed you everywhere carrying his guitar. "

" What a jealous kid ! They're all jealous of us" added Mr. Lee

" Don't talk about them like that, Papa"

" I don't know why they need to be so serious."

" They're not that bad." He just wished his dad would stop because he knew that it would hurt Joshua's feelings. But wait, why does he care whether Joshua's feeling were getting hurt or not ?

" They should have moved away too when their son was transferred. They're driving me crazy. I'm so done with them."

"Please stop" begged Seokmin

At that time, they heard a notification from Mr. Lee's phone

"It's your ma. She wants me back now. I'll get going" said Mr. Lee getting up to leave. Seokmin accompanied his dad to the door and bid farewell. Seokmin quickly closed the door and turned behind to see Joshua angry. Seokmin tried explaining " It's-" he was interrupted by Joshua

"That's fine."

"My dad just-"

" Forget it. Don't apologize. Your dad was right."
