Mrs. Kim was pretty stunted when her dear son brought a girl home. She glared at the girl on seeing Jiwoong had his arm around her waist. "And where did you pick up the girl from?", she asked.

"Mom, this is Hana. We met at the hospital. Hana, this is my mother, Kim Jiyeon. In other terms, Vivian Kim, chairwoman of Shinhwa Foundation"..

Mrs. Kim clenched her fist, but put on a straight face. "Your friends are in the dining room. I have some urgent works, I won't be joining", she said as she went upstairs to her room.

Jiwoong pov

I didn't expect that the two would be joining too. Since it was Taerae who invited them, I didn't complain.

The taller boy sat beside Ricky, while the shorter boy sat next to Hao and Hanbin. I took my seat at the head of the table. Hana sat down on my right. Taerae and Gunwook sat at the far end on each sides of the table. Z and Yujin sat next to Taerae.

(Head : Jiwoong ; Left side : Ricky, Gyuvin, Z, Yujin, Taerae ; Right side : Hana, Hanbin, Hao, Matthew, Gunwook)..

"Oppa, aren't you going to introduce your friends to me?", Hana asked. I smiled at her as I introduced each of them, except the two since I didn't know them. Ricky cleared his throat. He intertwined his fingers with the taller boy's as he raised both their arms. "This is my most precious one. My annoying boyfriend, Kim Gyuvin", he said as he smiled at him. I almost chocked on the water I was drinking. Hana then passed me the tissues. "Boyfriend? I thought you hate that kind of person. Since when did you get a boyfriend and become like your father?"..

"Since they entered our lives", he replied sarcastically.

They? Was he also referring to the other boy?. I shifted my attention to the shorter boy. "And who is he?", I asked. "You need to figure that out yourself", Hanbin replied. The boy was going to say something when Hao held his hand and shook his head. I squinted my eyes at them as I asked, "Are you three in a relationship?". I knew that Hanbin had always been fond of Hao since our childhood. But I never imagined that there would be a third person in their love. Also, they seemed to care about him more than each other.

Hanbin smirked at me as he leaned back on his chair and crossed his arms. "What do you think?", he asked. Sarcasm. What was wrong with my friends?

"They suddenly joined the group. I'm just.. curious", I said. Ricky chuckled as he glared at me. "They've been with us from the start. As for your girlfriend, she's the one who suddenly joined the group. I wonder what's her motive".

"Ricky", I shouted.

Hana stood as she looked at me with teary eyes. "I think your friends don't like me. It's better that I leave. I don't want you to argue with your friends because of me", she said in a trembling voice.

"At least she has common sense", Gunwook said. I glared at him. He glared back with a mocking face. I noticed that he wasn't scared of me like he used to be. In fact, all of them seemed to be different from how I remembered.

"Hana, please. They aren't usually like this. This dinner is just for you, you should not leave", I plead. She nodded as she wiped her tears and sat.

The boy suddenly stood as he looked at Hanbin. "I need to use the restroom", he said. Taerae told him the way to the restroom and he left.

"You should go after him", Hanbin told Hao who nodded and tailed behind the boy. "Is there something I don't know? Why does I feel like you are teaming up against me?", I asked. They shared glances. "Speak", I ordered.
