Mrs Park and the guys sat down to have dinner without even realizing that there were a set of eyes glaring at the them.

Aeri stood in the hall, watching the guys and her mom laugh,talk and eat not even realizing that she was right there.

For the first time in a while Aeri felt jealous.

Jealous that she never got that kind of attention from her mom. Jealous that those guys who were not at all related to her family were acting as if they belonged here.

Thumping her feet and making her presence obvious, Aeri walked past the group straight to her room.

"Aeri-ah!" - her mum called out only to hear the door getting shut.

"That girl! How can she get so rude day by day!" - Mrs Park yelled in agitation.

"Aumoni, have dinner. I'll make sure she eats too." - Taeyang replied.

"What!" - Seungri and Mrs Park said in synch.

"Trust me, I'm good with people."

"Hyung those were normal people! We are talking about 'AERI' here."

"Yeah Taeyang, I don't think it's a good idea. You don't have to listen to her cruse because of me."

"It's ok Amouni, let me give it a try." - Taeyang replied climbing up the stairs.

"Go away! Have dinner with your so called 'sons'!" - Aeri yelled from her room when she heard a knock on the room.

There was a knock again.

"Go away. Don't irritate me."

Again a knock.

Getting tired of the constants knocks, Aeri finally got up to open the door.

"I said Stop ----"

"Ummm HI. I'm Taeyang, you must be Aeri right ?"

"That's none of your business. Stop bothering me, I'm not in a mood to joke around. Go have fun with your Aumoni." - Aeri said before shutting the door.

Seungri couldn't stop laughing and Mrs Park just sighed.

"It's okay Hyung. Leave her alone." - Seungri replied.

"You tried Taeyang." - Mrs Park said with a sad smile.

Aeri on the other hand had her ears attached to the door, trying her best to eavesdrop on the conversation going on downstairs. For almost an hour the guys and Mrs Park had a conversation in the hall about various things from fashion to politics and ended it when Taeyang got ready to leave as he had some other plans and Seungri followed.

As the guys were leaving, Aeri returned back to her cozy bed and started watching TV when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Contemplating on whether to open the door or not. Aeri finally decided to answer the door after a few seconds.

As she was about to open the door, she mentally prepped herself to shout at the person on the other side of the door.

"I-" - Aeri opened to shout but their was no one there.

Looking around she saw there was no one at the door just a tray at the door step with dinner in it and a small sticky note.

"I heard your stomach growl. Don't worry I'll keep it a secret - Taeyang"

Aeri's raged emotions got replaced completely. This was the first time someone ever helped her even after she ill treated that person.

A small smile took over her face and she picked up the tray and slowly closed the door.

Taeyang,Seungri and Mrs Park where hiding below watching the whole scene. Everyone had a smile on their face when they saw Aeri smile.

"She really is beautiful when she smiles." - Seungri said in awe.

"She might show she is cold, but on the inside she is just a kid. Look into her eyes, you will know how much she is suffering." - Taeyang commented

"But how do you know that?" - Seungri questioned sitting down on the carpet.

"Cause Jiyong has the same eyes, he just hides it better."

Everyone shared a minute peaceful silence.

"Aumoni, you need to find some other way into her heart. The more you force things upon her, the more she is gonna retort." - Taeyang spoke while getting ready to leave.

"Aumoni, I'm telling you call Hyung if you have any problems. He will surely give you a mind-blowing advise." - Seungri chirped following Taeyang.

"Taeyang , Seungri thank you so much for today. This was the first time I've seen Aeri smile since she has returned from Australia and it feels so good to know that she remembers what it's like to be happy, even if it was just for a moment. Thank you." - Mrs Park hugged the guys, eyes b with tears.

"Good Night Aumoni." - the guys bid Mrs Park goodbye and left.

Next morning everyone was all set for breakfast and were awaiting Aeri's presence.

"Tae-Oh, what time did you come back yesterday?" - Mr Park asked his son.

"Around 2AM? Me and Seunghyun hyung were busy with selections of some new collection pieces."

"Ahhh Seunghyun is planning to buy a new collection ?"

"Yeah."

"Aeri -ah what are your plans for today ?" - Mr Park asked Aeri who just joined them in time for breakfast .

"I'm not sure."

"Aeri-ah if you get bored come to this address anytime today okay? You will get entertained for sure." - Mrs Park replied.

"I'll sure have better things to do than that." - Aeri shot back.

"Just in case you get bored." - Mrs Park smiled at her, which seemed pre
