It was already late. The moon at its highest point when Minho got called.
"Hello? .... with Jisung. ..... What do you mean? I'm always there you know that. .... yeah, okay. .... see you."
He hung up and groaned softly.
"Your dad?"
"Yeah. Mom's drunk again and he asked to come home."
"Oh. That's too bad." Jisung looked down.
"I'll see you tomorrow Ji." Minho smiled.
"Get home safely." Jisung blurted our Just before Minho couldn't hear him anymore.
Minho got back inside to leave but was stopped by ms.Han.
"Minho, before you go,"
"Yeah?"
He turned around and faced Jisung's smiling mom.
"Hyeong-seok and I talked, and I convinced him to let Jisung meet your friends."
"Really?" His face instantly lighted up. "That's so nice."
"Yes. But we must see them before they meet Jisung."
"Of course. I'll ask them when they can come. I gotta get going now. Bye ms.Han."
"Goodbye Minho." She smiled as she watched the boy leave.
Minho walked home feeling happy because Jisung would be meeting his friends, but also anxious because of the call he received from his dad.
He knew it hadn't been going well with his parents' relationship. But he didn't want to think too much about it. It was better that way.
He arrived home, the house was dark, he assumed his dad went to bed already. Minho found his mom passed out on the couch. She stank from alcohol. He ignored her snoring and also went to sleep.
It was particularly at these kind of moments he'd rather be with Jisung.
Jisung was his nepenthe. Something that can make one forget about the pain in their hearts.

M: okay guys be nice
Hj: when aren't we nice?
Minho glanced at Hyunjin.
M: just... don't scare him off
Minho introduced the seven boys to Jisung's parents. Luckily they successfully remained calm. Mrs.Han said Jisung was painting in the garden.
Minho already knew what way he had to go, and the others followed him like little baby ducks.
M: hey Jisung!
The younger boy at the other side of the garden turned around and ran towards Minho. He hugged him and greeted him as well.
M: you have paint all over your face
J: I was painting on the wall
M: nice. I want you to meet my friends
The seven boys smiled and waved and Jisung did the same
Hj: NAMe RoUnD! I'm Hyunjin!
Sm: Seungmin
Cb: I am Changbean
Wj: I'm Woojin
In: I'm Jeongin
Bc: I'm Chan
F: I'm Felix
M: you can call him Yongbok
F: nooo!
Jisung was feeling a lot of things that moment. A little scared to be meeting someone knew, but excited to see what Minho's friends are like.
They hung out like everyone except Jisung was used to doing. Talked about Jisung's special situation, and they found out Jisung was never told why he can't leave the property.
J: guys? Could all of you do something for me?
Cb: sure, what do you want?
Jisung walked towards the wall surrounding the garden.
J: I would like all of you to write or draw something on my wall. Then today will be a memory I'll never forget.
Sm: that's a nice idea!
He handed everyone a pen and they all started scrabbling on the wall. (In a pretty way).
Bc: why aren't you writing anything Minho?
Mh: I've been drawing on these walls with Jisung since we were kids. Almost half of these drawings are mine.
Bc: oh yeah... I forgot you've known each other for that long.

It was 11pm, everyone except for Minho had gone home.
"Thanks for today. Your friends are really nice."
"They had a great time too."
"Why haven't you gone home yet?"
"I don't wanna."
