The next morning Athena woke up early. She was still tired from the events that happened yesterday and was still a bit angry at what her father did. But after their talk she understood why he acted like that.

Daryl was acting and was thinking like any other father. He was thinking of his daughter's safety.

Athena took a deep breath and sit up on her bed, as she run her fingers through her dark hair. She looked up towards Changbin's bunk, only to see it empty.

Athena stood up from the bed and approached the chair with all her weapons on it. She changed her clothes and placed all her weapons on her, before she headed outside.

Athena was nearly blinded by the hot Georgia sun, that was shining brightly. She looked around the courtyard and she instantly noticed Changbin sitting alone on a bench, while looking down the field where the Grimes's and Jisung were, feeding the pigs.

Athena smiled a bit and walked towards him. He had his back towards her so he never noticed the Dixon girl approaching him.

"Over protective much?" Athena teased as she placed her hands on his broad shoulders while moving her head around, to look into his eyes.

Changbin rolled his eyes at the girl and chuckled slightly "Can't really help it sometimes, Thena." He turned around and wrapped his arm around her waist and with his strength he moved her into his lap, making the Dixon girl giggle at him.

Athena shifted into his lap and gave him a look "You do know that Ji is not a baby anymore, right?" She softly asked him, making the buff boy to look down at her lap sadly, before he shifted his gaze towards his little brother again.

"Because of my protection and also yours, especially back at the farm, he is alive right now." Changbin told her honestly, before he sighed sadly "Rick adopted Ji."

Athena looked towards her best friend in confusion "What?"

"A few days ago, Rick and Ji came to talk with me. Rick wanted my blessing, so to speak, to adopt Ji and make him part of the Grimes's officially." Changbin sadly explained to his best friend "I agreed. I mean from the beginning Ji was like part of the Grimes's. He saw Carl as a little brother and he saw Lori as a mom so... how could I say no."

Athena nodded and she pushed her lips into a thin line "Well to be fair, when Lori died she told Ji that she always thought of him as her son and she loved him like one." She softly smiled at him and grabbed his hand, intertwining their fingers together "He will always be your little brother you know. He will just be part of the Grimes's. You still have him and me in your life, Binni."
