Chapter 12

"Okay, my children. Let's go. It's time we headed out." Says mom.

Maddie hops off of Seokmin's back.

Jeremy and Mikayla finish their game of Rock, Paper, Scissors with Seungkwan and Hansol.

Riley and Eric finish their Call of Duty match with Soonyoung and Seungcheol.

And Jamie finished her small chat with Jisoo.

I just finished my talk with mom, about how I met all of them and how they're such good people.

"Oh yeah! Mom, my apartment isn't too far from here. There isn't much space, but we'll make it work." I plan what's happening in my head, until mom starts talking.

"Oh no. Don't worry about that. Your beautiful boyfriend, Hansol. Checked us into a hotel." My face starts to burn, Jisoo begins to chuckle and Hansol burst out laughing.

"Oh my gosh! No! He's not my boyfriend, we are not dating! Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no, no~"

I'm using Mingyu's car and Jisoo is in his,  following behind, as we drive my family to the hotel.

My 3 younger siblings and Jamie are in Jisoo's car. And my mom, Eric, Riley and I are in Mingyu's car.

Of course...

Hansol came because he was the one who checked them into that hotel and because my mom likes him.

"Just turn right here, then go straight and then the hotel with the big name in gold, to the left. That's the hotel." Instructs Hansol.

"You know, you didn't have to put them in such a grand hotel. I mean, you shouldn't waste your money on petty things like this. I'm just your manager, you should spend your money on yourself." I try to convince him, but he's too oblivious.

"That's boring. And anyway, you've done a lot for Seventeen. Did you also forget that you saved my life?" He looks at me, then looks to my brothers. "Did you guys know, your sister saved me from a shop owner, who was about to beat me to death? She was so cool, she through coins at the owner, then hit the owner's friend with her bag and flipped the owner's bulking son over. Wow~ it sure was amazing." Eric and Riley laugh and mom just giggles.

"Gosh. Be quiet, Hansol. We're here anyway." I quickly change the subject, when we arrive at the hotel. I hop out the car as well. "You, Hansol. Wait here, okay?" He pouts and then quickly smirks, as I go.

I walk them up to the entrance. Before mom faces me toward her.

"I missed you so much." She says, wiping at my face. I grab hold of her hands, taking a deep breath, because I know I'll start crying.

"I missed you, too, mom. I'll see you after work, okay?" Mom squeezes my hands.

"I'm not going anywhere, mom. I promise, I promise." She closes her eyes and breathes in.

"I'll see you, tomorrow, (Y/N)." She confirms and I give a nod of reassurance.

Before she walks away, she gives me a kiss on the cheek. I slowly let go of her hands, as she leaves to join my siblings.

After that, I head over to the car. And then I get in, heading to my apartment.

---

I pull up to my apartment, park the car and start getting out. Hansol also gets out to move to the driver's seat. Once he gets in, he starts talking. "Boyfriend, huh?"

"Oh, shut up." He laughs and reverses. And before he drives off, he honks the horn. I wave him away, smiling.

---

I get up to my apartment and I just plonk on top of my bed.

"Today... was emotionally exhausting." I think about the laughter, throughout the day. The smell of food. The feeling of sadness that turned to love and happiness.

I can't believe those boys did that for me. I got to figure out a way to repay them.

As the bed gets more and more comfortable, the easier I fall asleep.
