"Wake up, kids!" Ae-cha spoke as she woke up the seven boys.

All of them immediately woke up, sitting up in their beds and looking around.

"She's still not here?" Jin asked in a kind of annoyed tone.

"No, she came back last night but then Saeng-woog came and the two left again..." Ae-cha replied.

"Oh." Yoongi sighed, all of the other boys' shoulders sagged.

"The wedding's in three hours and it's pretty far away, it'll probably take us more than an hour to reach there, so I suggest you all get ready and then we'll be on our way." Ae-cha said.

All the boys nodded with saddened looks on their faces.

"I've kept the suits Namra picked out for you on your dressers." Ae-cha informed before leaving the room.

"So...Who's going to get ready first?" Jin asked.

No one said anything for a while and then finally, Jin sighed.

"I guess I am..." He spoke, getting up and leaving the room.

-

Soon, all of them were dressing in the suits their mom had picked out for them.

"Oh great! You all are ready! Quickly have your breakfast and then we can leave for the venue." Ae-cha said with a smile, sensing the gloomy mood of the room and trying to lighten it up.

The boys just nodded and walked to the table, they sat in silence as they ate and then got up quickly, put on their shoes and stood outside the front door.

"Can we go now, noona?" Yoongi asked.

"Oh yeah, sure, let me just grab my purse and then we'll leave." Ae-cha spoke.

"Okay..." Hoseok mumbled.

Ae-cha frowned a little, clearly none of them were happy, and if Namra saw them this sad on her wedding day, she would surely be mad, so Ae-cha made a mental note to make sure to lighten their moods up before they got to the venue.

"Noona, hurry up, we have to reach their soon." Namjoon reminded.

"Yeah, you go sit in the car, I'll be right there." Ae-cha said.

The boys nodded and went to go sit in the car, greeting the driver in a sad tone as they entered the car.

"Let's begin the journey, wouldn't want to be late to your mother's wedding now, would we?" Ae-cha joked as she sat in the passenger's seat hurriedly.

The boys hummed in response.

"So, shall I play some music?" Ae-cha asked, halfway into the trip.

"If you want to." Jimin shrugged.

Ae-cha observed that all of them were busy staring out of the window, not really in the mood for talking.

"Isn't the country-side nice?" Ae-cha asked, hoping to start a conversation in the car.

"Yeah, the nature is pleasing to look at." Namjoon replied absentmindedly.

"Exactly! Too bad the government is thinking about redeveloping this countryside and cutting down all the trees here." Ae-cha spoke.

"They shouldn't do that though, cutting down the trees just to build up buildings shouldn't be allowed, it's bad, what will you get with a building? More expenses than what you gain, but with trees you get oxygen, they help in the water-cycle and they overall play a big part in human survival, sure you have to take care of and nurture the tree, but it'll hardly take more than ten minutes to water a tree and it costs less to take care of a tree, but for a building, you have to get it routinely inspected, hire janitors to clean the place, get the walls painted often, and a lot more." Namjoon said, "In my opinion, they should take down the buildings and plant more trees, it saves more money and it gives a lot more benefits."
