Jeonghans Pov

We get in the car and my phone starts to ring. I'm pretty sure I know who it is. I look at the phone ID... I was right, Our Manager/CEO is calling. I put it on speaker.

" AnnyeongHaseyo Manager-nim" we say

" Cut the bullshit. My office...now" he hangs up

Instead of driving home we drive to the company. We go all the way to the top floor where his office is. I've walked down this hallway too many times. I lightly knock and then walk in. We take a seat. He looks like he's annoyed.

" The problem children strike again" he says

" We didn't do anything wrong" Joshua says

" Why is it always you three that give me trouble?" He asks

" This is Minghao we're talking about." I say

" You boys are my life, it hurts me to see little Minghao like this too" He says

" Then what were we supposed to do?" I ask

" Instead of scaring the boys with a sharpened cross and a bat, how about you have a meeting with their parents instead" he says

" You know we're crazy" Seungcheol says

" There's already articles about it." He says

He grabs the remote and turns the tv on. We spin our chairs around to look at the screen. An article pops up and we silently read it as he talks.

" People think you're scary and aggressive" he says

" We kinda are" Seungcheol says

" You guys give me a headache. Get out of my office" he sighs

" Bet" Seungcheol says as we get up

" I swear if I bring you here again--" Joshua cuts him off

" No promises!" Joshua says closing the door

Minghao's Pov

I sit in my room holding my phone in my hand. Jeonghan and Seungcheol aren't home yet. My mom usually FaceTimes me on Mother's Day. I've been waiting for her call all day. I haven't talked to her since last Mother's Day.

Truth is, of course I love my parents but I love Seungcheol and Jeonghan even more. I talk to my parents about one or two times a year and they don't have time or money for me. My phone rings and I jump. I look at the name and immediately answer it.

" I've been waiting all day for you to call!" I say

"Minghao you've grown so much" she says

" How are you? How's everyone doing?" I ask

" Everything's fine. How about you?" She asks

" Oh everything is great" I say

I have makeup on right now so she can't tell I got beat up. I put it on especially for this call. I don't want to have this whole phone call talking about my face. I just want to catch up with her.

" So you're hair is blue now" she says

" Yeah, do you like it?" I ask

" It's interesting" she says

I hear light conversation coming from the living room. Eomma and Appa must be home.

" Do you want to talk to Jeonghan & Seungcheol?" I ask

" That would be great" she says

" Eomma! Appa!" I call

The door opens and they appear. I tell them to come over with my hand and they come and sit on my bed.

"Mrs. Xu, it's been so long" Jeonghan says in Chinese

Jeonghans Pov

When I found out my son was Chinese I started working really hard to be fluent. I studied every day. By time we debuted I was fluent in Chinese. Seungcheol is still learning and can barely have a conversation.

" Nice to meet you" he says in his broken Chinese

" Aigoo Jeonghan you've gotten even prettier" she says

" Thank you" I smile

" Tell Seungcheol he's gotten even handsomer" she says as Minghao translates

"Thank you" he says

" Minghao, can I talk to Jeonghan alone?" She asks

He nods and takes Seungcheol out with him.

" Things aren't going well over here" she says

" What's wrong?" I ask

" His dad is very sick at the moment and work is barely bringing in any money" she says

" Is there anything I can do to help?" I say

" Continue to care for Minghao and keep him safe. Don't let him know about this" she says

" Of course. I wish you the best of luck" I say

" Thank you" she says as we hang up

I go out into the living room to find Minghao and Seungcheol but they aren't there. I look on the table and find a sticky note.

" Headed to practice. See you there" I read

Oh yeah, we have practice. I go outside and get in my car. I fasten my seatbelt and head to the company. I literally just came from here. I walk down the hall to the practice room. I go inside but the light are out. They must be in the lounge. I turn the light on and there they are.

" HAPPY MOTHERS DAY EOMMA!" They yell

" What is this" I smile

Seungcheol hands me a bouquet of roses. DK is live streaming it. They have a small pink box and a cake. Minghao hands me the box. I open it and find a silver bracelet that has a heart charm on it. "Eomma" is engraved on the heart. On the back it says Choi Family.

" We all have one. See" Minghao says as they all stick out their wrists

Seungcheol's says Appa, Joshua's says Uncle, Jun's says BestFriend, Woozi's says Tiny Son, DK says Singer Son, Seungkwan's says Sassy Son, Wonwoo's says Emo Son, Mingyu's says Damn Son, Vernon's says Dicaprio Son, Hoshi's says Dancer Son, Dino's says Baby Son, and Minghao's says Favorite Son.

" It was my idea!" Dino says

" Aigoo Good job" I say squishing his face

" I paid for all 13 of them" Seungcheol says

" Do you want me to congratulate you or something?" I say

" Oh wow" he rolls his eyes as I hug him
