"Hey guys! Say hi to Sang Min! (Hi!) (hello!) (what? HIIIIIIIII!) (Hi, Merry Christmas!) (Hiiiiii~) (Hey, what's up!) (Merry Christmas! Hello~)", everyone cheered in chorus. Laughter was followed by it as we all went back to our seats and started the feast.

Tonight is Christmas Eve. Also, a special day for all of us.

Tonight, we aren't just celebrating the said holiday. We're here to reunite as a family as well even though one of us isn't physically present.

It's been a while since we all gathered together in one place. We've all been busy since the past few months. Was it 4? 5? Ha ha, I don't really know. And I don't really care about it too much. Right now, I'm happy, we're all happy to be together and see each other once again. It's been a while...

The past few months, as you may know, was filled with crazy, knotted experiences. It's like we all rode a roller coaster ride with lots of crazy twist and turns in it, and... Most of us didn't expect it to be that ridiculously overwhelming. Ha ha, well... I know right! That was quite of an exaggeration. But you know what? I'm still glad it all happened.

From day one, when I first came in the mansion and into the lives of these people in front of me... To this day, that I've finally became a huge part of the family. *Sigh, isn't that so nice to reminisce?

"Hyung, remember when you and and Jio hyung were playing at the park and the little boy punched you in the face and you're like... *gasp!", Dong Min chirped as he was facing Soon hyung who's sitting beside me and Shin Young, trying to re-enact hyung's reaction when we saw him and Jio hyung hanging out together in the park.

Dong Min. We never call him Dongyie anymore. It all began when he started courting the girl which eventually became his long-term girlfriend, Mi Jin. He invited her for dinner at the mansion that night and we were all chatting when all of a sudden, Shin Young began calling him by that name. You see, he doesn't really like being called that way when he's with other people. He'd mostly feel embarrassed about it because he thought the name, or nickname I mean, sounds like a little girl's. He was so embarrassed at that time that he end up excusing himself from the dining room and went locking himself in his room the entire night, without saying anything to Mi Jin at all. But to save his guts, Jio hyung told her that same night before she leave that Dong Min never expected one of us to bring up that name in front of her, or nickname, whatever suits you, pft! The good thing is, Mi Jin didn't really mind it at all. The, well, mildy bad thing? I guess... It is that Mi Jin would occasionally tease her by calling him that name, ha ha!

"You little brat! Ha ha, but that was unexpected by the way! I was literally surprised when that kid did that to me. I just ended up smiling at him and he just laughed.", says Soon hyung between laughs as he threw a piece of tissue at him. His eyes, well... Pft, you know what I mean, right? Ha ha ha!
