Park Jeongwoo blinked as he found Haruto, Keita and Yoonbin standing in front of his apartment. Keita had a playful smile plastered on his face while Yoonbin has his normal poker face. Haruto, for some odd reason, had a pleading expression.

Jeongwoo had just arrived from grocery, his hands is full with the things he bought from the mart. Noticing that, Keita immediately ordered Haruto to take the baggage from the treasurer which the tall japanese followed.

"How can I help?" The treasurer asked  nervously as he opened the door to his apartment and allowed his unexpected guest to enter. Yoonbin immediately scanned the apartment and asked, "This is the lower floors right? Are there anything different with the upper ones?"

"The apartments in the upper floors are more expensive. It's also more spacious" Jeongwoo answered as he guided Haruto to place the things he was holding on the kitchen counter. Keita grinned, he liked the minimalistic interior of the apartment. The owner of the apartment noticed the interest and asked, "Anyone needing to find a new apartment?"

Keita and Yoonbin nodded while Haruto sighed. Keita took a seat on the couch as Jeongwoo offered followed by Yoonbin while Haruto remained standing. Yoonbin then explained, "You see, Haru has been freeloading with Hyunsuk or me ever since he had arrived in Korea. Haruomi san, Haru's father, had noticed that this big baby is becoming spoiled and decided that it is time for him to move out"

"So you're looking for an apartment? Why here though?" Jeongwoo eyed Haruto who was frowning at the conversation obviously not happy. The owner of the house scooted slightly and patted the space next to him to signal the tall japanese who was still standing to sit next to him.

Haruto bobbed his head and took the seat that was offered. Yoonbin and Keita stared at each other and smiled. Keita replied to Jeongwoo's question with a playful smile, "We don't know anyone else who is living in apartment"

"Junkyu hyung is living in an apartment" Haruto pointed out in protest making Keita glare at him. The taller immediately stopped speaking.

Yoonbin sighed and noted, "Junkyu is moving to Mashiho's manor next week. You know how worrywart he became after Mashi caught a cold the other day"

"How about Jihoon hyung then? He also had an apartment, right?" Haruto once again pointed out.

Yoonbin was the one who glared this time, "Would you like to commute 30 mins to school everyday?"

Haruto swallowed his words. Ha Yoonbin was obviously mad, not at Haruto though. Park Jihoon's stubborness about his choice of apartment has always been a sore spot of Yoonbin and Haruto had once walked in on their petty love quarrels.

"Umm, you guys don't live on an apartment?" Jeongwoo was utterly confused. He just heard Yoonbin say that Mashiho has a manor. This is Korea for pete's sake, everyone lives in an apartment.

"Everyone in Kings owns a manor or two" Keita stated with an as-a-matter-of-fact tone. Jeongwoo gaped at the information. He heard from Byounggon and Doyoung that the Kings were rich but he did not know they were this damn rich. In normal people's perspective, he is rich as he has an apartment on one of the expensive neighbourhood in Korea for his own. But, the level of richness these people possess are just out of this world.

Jeongwoo suddenly remembered that these three were out for apartment hunting. He glanced at Haruto and asked, "You don't have a manor or a house here?"

"I have. Its in Jeju-do and in Busan. My old man is crazy"

"Hiroaki-san would hack you to death if he hears that" Keita sighed as he remembered the retired Watanabe clan head who is now serving as the general of JDSF. "Anyways, Haru's grandfather fell in love with Jeju-do and Busan rather than Seoul. So, he built the Watanabe manor in those places instead"
