Chan was very surprised when the boys turned up for Seolee's one year birthday, the next day. Yulhee thought he was in on it, but he promised that he had no idea. The younger boys were recognised by Yulhee's sisters since they left quite an impression with two of them undergoing a DNA test to confirm Seolee's paternity. Minho was thanked all over again for signing the surgery papers and saving Yulhee's life.

Chaeyoung took a happy picture of them all and Seolee. The boys complimented the beautiful baby. Chan for sure was happy to see them bouncing the baby from one hip to another.

Gently, of course.

Sungkyunkwan University was to resume tomorrow; 10th September, 2024 and the past and most recent graduates couldn't relate.

"I can't believe you four are in finals now", Chan mused. It was like yesterday when they entered high-school. "Please, don't lead our maknae astray"

"Hyung", Jisung grumbled, feeding Seolee from her bottle. "If anything, Jeongin would be the ones leading us astray"

Minho quacked out a laugh, falling on Changbin. "I can totally imagine", Changbin smiled, all teeth. Those four '00 liners weren't fit enough to guide anyone.

Hyunjin and Felix proved him right when they played with Seolee's barbie toys. Grown babies.

"You guys look ridiculous with those pink toys", Seungmin dissed and the eldest 3 had hope again. Maybe all will go well with Seungmin there for them.

Truth had to be told that Kim Seungmin was more matured that the other three and it was funny because he was the maknae of their line.

Daya squished her mom in a hug, trying not to break down. "I will miss you, eomma"

"Me too", Damin rubbed her back. She has been soft with the eldest girl this summer so she was like her little child again and Damin wasn't complaining. She loved it in fact. She always longed for Daya to go back to that small baby of hers before she left for Seoul. Imagine the joy then, when her first daughter embraced her inner child again.

Damin kissed both cheeks of Daya and Dayeon. "Make me proud again, alright?"

"Of course, they will!. They are my granddaughters", Seolran chuckled and opened her arms. They hugged their grandma and wished her good health.

Dayeon opened the cab, waving at the people of Haryung-gu. They had made a fuss of waking early to see them off and give them the little they could contribute. She waved at her mom. Damin smiled sadly, "I wish you girls a safe journey", her pride, her jewels.

The girls got into the cab and it drove off, heading for Seongryu bus station where they would board a bus to Seoul.

Daya found her sister's hand. She held it and turned her head to look at her. It was different from last year when Dayeon was coming to SKKU newly. She was worried and bothered but now, she was happy and comforted that her sister was with her.

Dayeon gave her hand a small squeeze, grinning. "The semester will be nice, yeah?"

"Yeah", Daya whispered with a small smile. "Do you know they change rooms every new school year?"

"Oh. That's sad. I wish I still stay in my room"

A snicker. "You hated the 9th floor, Jeong Dayeon"
