That night, all of them did not come home, they camped out at the nearest motel. All seven of them in a small room, Hyuna had the bed of

course. Without showering, the boys collapsed on the floor and slept like a log. Hyuna curled herself to sleep, a smile lingering on her lips. She

has never felt like this. So full and warm. For being loved and having friends, who treat her right.

" Thank you.... " She whispered sleepily before heading off to dreamland.

Meanwhile outside their residence, Hara bit on her nails in agitation. " Where are they? " 

" Maybe they went out. " Gyuri says flatly while playing with her phone.

Hara let out an unsatisfied sigh and dialed for Junhyung for the nth time. " Why won't he pick up? " She frowns.

" Maybe because YOU'RE the one calling. " Gyuri says under her breath. Hara didn't catch it.

" I'll show him. I'll make sure he picks up all my calls by tomorrow. " She says with a curled smile.

Gyuri blinks at her crazy friend. " Yah, what are you planning? "

Hara flashes Gyuri a secretive smile. " Just wait and see. " She walks back to their car. Gyuri trailing behind in her knee high boots.

°°°

When the group drove home, they were greeted by a posh surprise. It was none other than Junhyung's parents and Goo Hara by the door.

" to be you now Hyung. " Dongwoon said as a matter of factly.

Hyuna sat up curiously, " What's wrong? " 

Junhyung inwardly cursed, massaging his temples. He heaved a sigh and got out of the car. Hyuna fumbled for her own belt and stepped out

after him. The rest got out silently and bowed respectfully to Junhyung's parents. Hara crosses her arms with a cold smile.

" Mom, Dad, what are you doing here? " He asks, blatantly ignoring Hara. Hyuna timidly held the back of his jacket. 

Mr Yong glances at Hyuna before facing his son. " Your mom forced me here. " He says.

The mother rolls her eyes " We need to discuss some important matters, but Hara said you weren't picking up her calls last night. " She glances

at Hara then suspiciously at Hyuna.

" Guess you were busy....? " She asks suggestively. Junhyung eyed Hara in distaste.

" Why is she checking up on me? Anyway, all of us went to a night concert last night. " He explains.

His mother purses her lips and sighs. " Let's go somewhere else, I need to talk about some matters. " 

Junhyung's dad sighs and glances at his watch. " Dear, I don't have all day. " He reminds her.

" Make time. This is about Junhyung and Hara's engagement. " She says pointedly emphasizing the word ' engagement '.

Everyone was stunned to silence except Hara. Hyuna gripped his jacket tighter, in sync with the way her heart was feeling. The boys tried to not

look so surprised but failed.

Junhyung frowned deeper. " Omma, I told you I have someone else. " He insists. Hara glares at Hyuna.

Mrs Yong doesnt give up and folds her arms. " Okay, who is it that you choose her over the daughter of the owner of Theseus Hotel? "

Hyuna gulps. She knows what was coming. And with everyone watching, Junhyung takes Hyuna's wrist and pulls her behind him. His mother's

eyes flashes and she scans Hyuna from head to toe. Hyuna keeps her head down, too nervous to react. 

" This is her. My future wife. " He announces.

°°°
" What just went on back there. " The boys started as soon as Junhyung and future wife left with his family. And Hara. 

They all collapsed on the sofa in a daze. 

" It's too early in the morning for this madness. " Yoseob says staring at the ceiling.

" Hyuna is going to get hurt. Sooner or later. " Hyunseung remarks.

" You're right. You think Junhyung really like her though? " Gikwang ponders. They all went silent weighing the possibility.

" Will it really happen....? Will they really get married? " Dongwoon whispered. 

" It's bound to. Junhyung will. He likes her. The way he looks at her. But then again.... anyone over Goo Hara. " Doojoon shudders.

The rest pondered over his words and shuddered at the idea. All of them got lost in their own thoughts.

" Some drama is about to go down. " Yoseob stated.

°°°

The family sat in a circular table in a private room. A stiff and tense air seemed to hang around the room. Hyuna felt the accusation on the

tongue of Mrs Yong's tongue and curled her toes. Right after they have settled their menu and were left alone, Junhyung made a formal

announcement.

" Mom, Dad. I would formally like to introduce you my fiancee. Kim Hyuna. Before you object, I would like to fairly warn you that if you

disapprove of my marriage, I will hold my own wedding and you don't have to come. " Junhyung says, a hand over Hyuna's icy ones as a sign

of comfort.

Mrs Yong shifts in her seat uncomfortably. " Son, why are you doing this without telling us first? What about Goo Hara?" She presses.

Junhyung shuts his eyes and takes a breather. " Mom, I never said anything about accepting Goo Hara. If you want to see me happy..... then

please, allow me to marry the girl I have chosen. " He says calmly, looking at Hyuna.

Hyuna mustered up her courage to speak. " Omoni, If you haven't noticed, I am blind. I can't do much. I don't ask for anything. Not his wealth

or his family name. But only - " She breaks off to hold Junhyung's hands. " - to have him by my side. I have never met anyone who made my

life so meaningful before. " She says quickly, sincerely.

Mrs Yong blinks at Hyuna half pitiful, half clueless. " That's exactly the problem! If you are blind how can you take care of Junhyung?" She

asks with a frown. 

They paused their family meeting when the door was knocked and in came plates of their lunch. 

Before the elder woman could add on, Mr Yong cuts in. " I approve. "

Everyone raised their eyebrows. Hyuna turned over his direction in surprise. 

" In a marriage, you need to help each other out. Weigh the responsibility together. It's no point getting him to marry someone he doesn't like,

wife. " He explains reasonably.

Mrs Yong speechlessly stared at her husband. Junhyung grips his fiancee's hand tight and silently thanked his father. A huge weight lifted from

his shoulders. Hyuna hangs her head, grateful. Mr Yong simply smiles and gestured for them to dig in. Junhyung gladly does so, leaning in to

Hyuna and whispers the directions of her food. After their brief lunch, Hyuna excuses herself to the toilet. She makes her way out the door, not

a second after she hears the door close behind her, her wrist was harshly pulled. Her assailant had girly fingers and had on some really

strong....... smell. Hyuna wonders if she actually splashed some air freshner, maybe?  She tried to process everything but that was all she got.

" Listen carefully, I have no time for this. I have been watching you for a long time and you are no girlfriend of Junhyung's. Junhyung loved

another girl. What have you ever done for him? Nothing. So don't try to be his even if you're pretending. " A girl's voice whispered to her ear.

The tone in her voice cold and dead serious.
