With what Luhan had advised to Xiumin, it made him confident in telling her soon.   Real soon.     The following morning, after they all left Baekhyun's place.   He was headed home to rest, he hasn't had any sleep at Baek's house because he was devising a plan on how to tell her.    He came home by 10 am. The entrance doors opens automatically with maids bowing as he enters. He then heads to his room upstairs, throws his bag at a nearby chair.   He drops himself on his bed, laying the back of his hand on top of his eyes.   I can do this.    He sits up straight then grabs his phone from his pocket. In that exact moment, his dad was calling.   He taps on the icon 'Answer' and presses his phone to his ear.   "Hey, dad."    "My dear son, I've met someone!" His voice was cheerful. Xiumin can imagine his dad, smiling at the other end of the line.   "You have? Who?" His eyes shot open, smiling. He was glad his dad was socializing again, meeting new people again.   "Remember Ms. Liu at the social gathering we went to last year? Well.. I didn't get to tell you because I wasn't sure how you'd feel.."   Minseok's dad was always considerate of how Minseok would feel. Ever since his wife passed away, Minseok suddenly became different. He wasn't the son he once knew that was always smiling and playful, he was trying to copy him and would always say that he wants to grow up immediately.   Until he entered high school did he notice how Minseok was slowly changing back into the son he knew.   "That's great, dad. I'm really happy for you." Minseok couldn't help but smile innocently.   "After our the party, we kept in touch all the time. It happened all too fast, while I was away on business, she was there, and then I asked her the big question."   "And she said yes!"    "I want you to meet her! I'm gonna meet her for lunch later! I've sent someone to pick you up!"   "Mm."   Their conversation ended their and Xiumin stood up from his bed, walked all the way to his closet to grab some clothes to change.   While he was changing clothes, he smelt something. "Ugh. I smell like booze." He grabbed his clothes then headed straight to the bathroom to take a shower.   Unknowingly, his phone starts to vibrate, someone was calling him but it seems like he can't hear it.         "Please pick up the phone, Minseok.."           After taking a shower and changing to his clothes, he noticed his phone's light was flashing. He grabbed it and found a few missed calls from Amber.     "I should call her back." But before he could, a knock on his door interrupted him.    "Come in." He orders.   A maid peeps in, bows a little before speaking. "Your ride has arrived, Mr. Minseok."   "Oh. I'll be down in sec."    She bows once more before leaving and closing the door.   He forgot about why Amber was calling and went to fix his hair then grabbed his sweater and went downstairs.     As he arrived at the designated place he spotted a familiar car parked at the front. It looked like the car he rode with Amber back in summer. He shrugged the thought and continued walking.   He spotted his father immediately sitting at the table with two people. His gaze then shifts to the two people sitting opposite to his father. A woman was sitting in front of his father, he noticed his dad laughing at something and smiling. He assumed that it was who his father wanted him to meet then his eyes landed on the person next to the said woman. Just the person's back, he can already recognize who it was.    He stopped walking and stood there, staring at the back of that person.    "Ah! My son's here!" His father stood up from his chair then went to his side. His dad ushered him to move and they walked together to their table.    He felt as if the world became slower than usual.   His eyes never left the back of that person and as he walked closer, he felt something inside him drop, like a brick fell hard at the bottom.    "Minseok, this is the person I was telling you." When his father spoke he was back to normal. He had to blink a few times before reverting back to his old self.    "It's finally nice to meet you, Minseok. I've heard a lot about you."   "Thank you." With a monotone voice.   He shook the said person's han
