Seokmin and Joshua were walking back from grocery store, it's about to 9 already, ofcourse Seokmin messaged soonyoung that Joshua is with him and he should be keeping Jeongin with him for while which Soonyoung replied back with,he is taking Jeongin home with himself and they should come there.

"Hey, It's Yeji's birthday tommorow,we planned a little birthday party and you are invited, ofcourse Hyung will invite you when we go back but I wanna tell it myself too" seokmin happily chanted.

"Ohh,sure,we will come." Joshua replied smiling politely.

When they reached Jihoon's house,jeongin and yeji were playing with some toys on ground while Soonyoung were telling something Jihoon with excessive energy who were just checking the list for tommorow's party.

" Hey there!" Seokmin waved his hand as he entered in house,Yeji ran to him as soon as she glanced his presence ,Jeongin who found Joshua behind him moment after also ran to his father.

"Ohh, welcome Mr,Hong" Soonyoung said standing up and reaching there.

Yeji who Joshua supposed were going to hug seokmin just grabbed bags from his hand start to rummage her favourite food,

"Yeji, don't" Jihoon's voice cut through atmosphere as he stand up walked towards all.

Till now Jeongin reached Joshua and now latching himself over his leg.
"Ohh,let her Ji,she ain't old enough for you to torture her" soonyoung said as he pushed his daughter towards shopping bags again,Jihoon just sighed in reply as seokmin sit on ground with Yeji Going through things and finding her favourite.

"Ohh, Joshua, Tommorow is Yeji's birthday,and you guys are invited"Jihoon said as he picked up a hand made invitation card which scribble some doodles  and venue with Yeji's name.

"We made it!" Soonyoung happily said.

"Yup,I draw her face and it's cool"seokmin said giving side eye to Yeji while bragging  happily about his achievement.

"I don't look like that!" The little child half screamed to her uncle,while humping and walking away from there.

"Ohh,you can't see it but you do" Seokmin said poking out his tounge.

Joshua take said card in his hand,you can get it at first glance that it is hand made, Seokmin's failed attempt to draw yeji's face, Soonyoung's also failed attempt to write in cursive and Yeji's weird way to stick random birds sticker here and there..

Even though it didn't make much sense but together it all look good,to nice to be honest,it just show that this family worked together over this little thing.

It is silly ,Jihoon surely have disagreement over this,but now looking at his family's hard work over the mere invitation card which they can easily print..

It churned something in Joshua,the little happiness of satisfaction when he glanced at family infront of him, Yeji who is about hit Seokmin with her toy who is showing her his tongue,Soonyoung who were encouraging her while his one hand lazily around Jihoon who is just smiling lazily to there daily chaos.

'So beautiful ' Joshua thought.

"Seungcheol!" Choi Yejin dragged her son in balcony away from Hansol and Jeonghan,who were emerged in cooking dinner , ofcourse Hansol is just there to give equipments and vegetables,his cooking means destroying Kitchen,and never in Jeonghan taking risk over that!

Ofcourse the little bickering between them were heard in background but for now it faded from Seungcheol's mind,as his current concern is why his mother dragged him.

"Yes?" he asked in confusion. "Why your lover knows Jeonghan?" She asked in serious tone.
"Don't tell me you are dating him behind our back? I will seriously beat you" little by little anger rosed up in her.

"No,Mom,I don't.....we broke up years ago,you know that" his voice went from defying himself to sad reality.

"Then why is he here?" She inquired now folding her hands on her chest. "He lives in same society.." Seungcheol whispered enought for her to hear.

Seungcheol's mother gave quite hard time to Joshua in past,this one of his preference is to never let them in front eachother and still within few hours they already clashed!

At this moment he just want lock himself and cry, it's been over 30 days that Joshua became his neighbour and seungcheol still can't gulp down that fact and now he have to hold his mother back who surely gonna say something wrong to Joshua..

'Wait! She said something to him,now to?' his mind striked with possibility

"Did you say something to him?" He inquired,if answer is 'yes' then he surely gonna go to vacation on island for eternity and never coming back..

"No" she said "it's just that Jeonghan introduced me to him in grocery shop,but we didn't exchanged a word."

Something in seungcheol relaxed, even though it is still not ideal situation but it's better than any clash.

"Cheollie ! I think I should meet her" Joshua said sitting with firm face infront of his lover.

"Give me some more time Josh,I am trying" seungcheol looked mentally worn out.

"No,your effort ain't having effect maybe I will confront your mother and she will say yes?" There is hope in Joshua's eyes.

Seungcheol laughed in mocking,"you think she is that easy to handle? My father and we both siblings ,we three as together can't change her decision,

Once she wanted a new dinning table,she literally made father take a loan for that Dinning table, It's just her decision or none!"
Seungcheol's voice got little sour over memory,how his mother is just so..

"Now?" Joshua asked purely concerned about there future.
