Junhyung’s POV

“Why do I feel so nervous?” I asked Haneul.

She was playing with the packet of sugar, totally ignoring me.

“Haneul!” I called out.

“Hmm?” She looked up, tossing the packet of sugar to me.

“Tsk! Why are you so unconcerned!?” I frowned.

“What? What do you want me to do then?” She asked.

“I… I don’t know!” I pouted.

“Drink some tea and just relax.” She pushed me her cup of tea.

I gulped down the cup of tea, totally forgetting the fact it was very hot.

“Owwwww~” I coughed.

“Omo omo! Tsk! What were you thinking!?” She asked for a cup of ice water.

I drank the ice water, feeling the cold water cool my burning throat.

“Better?” She asked.

I nodded.

“Relax, okay? Gosh…” She laughed, poking my cheek.

We were in a café near J.Tune, waiting for time to pass. We were meeting Seungho hyung today to tell him about us getting married, Haneul’s pregnancy and Tae Hyun, Ji Eun’s adoption.

“I don’t know why are you so nervous.” She laughed, playing with my fingers.

“Honestly, I don’t know too.” I said.

We sat for a while more, playing games on the iPad.

“I think he should be done. Let’s go.” She said.

“So soon?” I asked.

“Come on, Junroro.” She smiled, tugging my arm along.

“I don’t want to go….” I whined.

“Come on~” She said, pulling me up.

“Let’s just send him a text!” I said.

“You want to die before the wedding, the birth of our child and before you could be a proper dad to Tae Hyun, Ji Eun and ours, then do that.” She said.

“Okay, okay! Let’s go gahhh!!!” I grabbed her hand, power walking out of the café.

We arrived at J.Tune in no time. We stood inside the lift, staring at the buttons.

“Which level?” She asked.

“Huh? Erm… I… I don’t know.” I said, laughing embarrassingly.

“TSK!” She smacked my arm hard.

“Owww why!?” I pouted.

“Find out!” She yelled.

I called Doojoon to ask. He laughed at me before telling me which level. As soon as we arrived, we could already hear Seungho hyung’s voice from the outside.

“Let’s go.” She smiled, squeezing my hand.

I knocked on the door, waiting for a few seconds before pushing it open. We were surprised to find Seungho hyung and Mir wrestling on the floor.

“Ahh Junhyung ah! Haneul ah! Wait! I just… aghhh!!” He growled as he tried to headlock Mir.

We watch in amusement the two of them fight, the other MBLAQ boys were just at the side doing their own stuff, as thou nothing was going on.

“Is this safe?” Haneul whispered to me.

“I think so. We do that too. Just that… I don’t know.. They seem like they are fighting professionally.” I whispered back.

“Ya. Kungfu panda fighting the crane or something.” Haneul giggled.

“Who do you think would win?” I asked.

“Maybe the crane? Since the crane is more flexible. But then, Panda seems like a powerful fighter too.” She said.

“I think so too. Besides, this Panda has too much pride in him to lose.” I said.

“Just like you.” She mumbled.

“What did you say?” I looked at her.

“I say my Junroro is the best.” She smiled.

“Of course.” I leaned in to kiss her on her cheek.

“UGH!!!” We heard Seungho hyung whine.

“YES!” Mir stood up, clapping.

“Who won?” I asked.

“Me!” Mir smiled.

“YOUR FAULT!” Seungho pointed at us as he stood up.

“HOW!?” I asked.

“Why the hell were the two of you kissing in front of us!? It distracted me! Damn it!” He grumbled.

“You’re just not focused enough. Who asked you to look at us kiss? We did not force you. It’s you who can’t take your eyes away from such a beautiful scene~” Haneul said, wrapping her arm over my waist, sticking out her tongue at Seungho hyung.

Seungho hyung was about to say something when I stopped him.

“Ahh hyung~ We’re not here to argue. We have stuff to tell you.” I said.

“What?” He asked, taking away the bag of chips from G.O hyung’s hands and claiming it.

“Yah! My chips!” G.O hyung yelled.

“Mine now~” Seungho hyung smiled, shoving a handful of chips into his mouth, munching happily.

“Let’s go out.” I said. He nodded, grabbing his bag.

“Are you guys coming?” I asked the rest.

They smiled, shaking their heads.

“Then see you soon.” I smiled, bowing slightly at them, so did Haneul.

We went to a nearby restaurant because Seungho hyung said he was hungry, despite eating chips already. We ordered food or rather he ordered food. We talked about everything, not touching on our main point yet.

Just as we were about to tell him, the food came. We started eating, not mentioning about it at all, until he started.

“Svo vhat do you vant tcho say?” He asked as he munched.

“Swallow your food first.” Haneul said.

“Itvs okay! Just say!” He said, shoving more food into his mouth.

“Then don’t say I didn’t warn you.” Haneul mumbled.

He raised his brows, his cheeks stuffed with food, looking at us.

“Seungho hyung… Haneul and I… we… we…” I intertwined my fingers with Haneul’s under the table.

“We are getting married.” I said, holding up our clasped hands, showing him the ring on Haneul’s finger.

“VHAT!?” He yelled, choking at the same time.

“Are you okay!?” I stood up to pat his back, handing him water at the same time.

“I told you to swallow your food!” Haneul scolded, patting his back as well.

As soon as he calmed down, he looked at us with wide eyes.

“You two are…. What?” He asked.

“We’re getting married, Seungho hyung.” I smiled.

“Really!?” He laughed his signature grandpa laughter.

I nodded, smiling at Haneul.

“WAH! I can’t believe this!” He ruffled my hair.

“When is the wedding? Where would it be? Have you guys planned anything? How would the wedding be like?” He bombarded us with questions.

“Nothing is planned yet.” I said.

“Oh. But it is soon, right?” He asked.

“Yes. And we are not done.” I said.

“Hmm?” He looked at us.

“Haneul and I… We’re also planning on adopting Tae Hyun and Ji Eun officially.” I said.

“Oh. The two cuties? Really?” He asked, shoving more food into his mouth.

I nodded.

“Sho have you sshpoken to them?” He asked, chewing.

“We have, and they are happy too.” Haneul said.

“That’s good! You guys would have kids even before anything!” He smiled, eating happily.

“That brings us to our third announcement.” I said.

I turned to look at Haneul. She smiled, nodding at me. I looked at Seungho hyung who was still happily eating.

“Seungho hyung.” I called out.

“Hmm?” He responded, but was focusing on the food instead of me.

“Seungho hyung, I’m going to be a father soon.” I said.

“I know.” He said.

“You just told me you’re going to adopt the two cuties, right?” He said, looking at the table of food, choosing which piece to eat.

“Haneul is pregnant, Seungho hyung.” I said.

I cursed under my breath as Seungho hyung spit whatever food in his mouth onto my face.

“SEUNGHO!” Haneul shouted, grabbing a handful of tissue to clean my face.

Seungho hyung stared at us blankly.

“Clean your mouth too!” Haneul said, pushing the box of tissue to him.

“What… what did you say?” He asked, bits of food still on the corner of his mouth.

“I said… Haneul is… pregnant.” I said.

“How… I mean.. Why… What…?” He looked at the both of us.

We just smiled.

“Is this why….” He muttered.

“NO! No, it’s not the reason we are getting married. It is not.” I defended myself.

He nodded. He stared at Haneul and I as thou we were penguins in the wild.

“What?” Haneul shifted uncomfortably.

“I just cannot believe it.” Seungho hyung said, not eating anymore.

“Hyung… are you upset?” I asked.

“Upset?” He looked at me.

I nodded. He laughed.

“Upset? Come on! You guys are not sixteen anymore! You are adults and I trust you two to be responsible enough. Just that… It’s too much for me to absorb in one meal.. Wedding, adopting, baby… It’s just.. wow~” He said, smiling slightly.

“It’s overwhelming for us too.” I said, squeezing onto Haneul’s hand.

“You seem calm. Why?” Seungho hyung asked Haneul.

“What?” Haneul looked at him.

“You seem calm.” Seungho hyung repeated.

“Is it a bad thing?” Haneul asked.

“No. It’s just… I don’t know. Usually girls freak out. But you, you’re so calm and… just.. different.” Seungho hyung said.

“I’m Haneul.” Haneul shrugged her shoulders.

She couldn’t keep her cool look for long. She ended up bursting into laughter, so did we. I pat her head lightly.

“Do the others know? I mean… about you know..” He pointed at Haneul’s stomach.

I nodded.

“So am I the last to know?” He asked, with a hint of disappointment in his voice.

“No, no! I mean… Yea.” I mumbled.

“Not true. The rest of MBLAQ doesn’t know yet.” Haneul said quickly.

Seungho hyung shrugged his shoulders, making a face at us.

“Never mind, I'm not very important anyway. Just a random hyung of yours~” He said, but his expression told otherwise.

“Don’t be angry please!” I said, poking his hand.

Haneul grabbed the menu and handed it to him.

“Order anything! Our treat!” She said.

Seungho hyung tried to look angry, but it did not last for long. He ordered more food, not bothering about our wallets at all.

“I’m warning you… I better be the first to receive you wedding invitation.” He said, shoving a piece of chicken into his mouth.

“You wouldn’t need an invitation, hyung. You definitely have to come.” I said.

“I don’t care.” He said.

“We’ll give you ten invitation cards if it makes you happy. How about one box? Blank ones perhaps, then you can use for your own wedding?” Haneul said.

Seungho hyung’s cheeks turned red almost instantly.

Haneul and I looked at each other, raising our eyebrows.

“Seungho hyung, do you have something we don’t know?” I asked, leaning in closer.

“No.” Seungho hyung looked at his bowl as thou suddenly the bowl sprouted gold.

“What so interesting about the bowl?” Haneul .

“Nothing.” Seungho hyung mumbled.

“Who is she? Have you gotten her yet?” I asked.

“No. There is no one!” Seungho hyung said, shoving more food into his mouth.

We continued to . It was rare seeing Seungho hyung so embarrassed. But we stopped eventually. We didn’t want to see him burst into tears.

After food, I paid. Seungho hyung sure could eat.

“So… Hyung, you’re going back to the studio?” I asked.

“Yea. Got something to work on.” Seungho hyung said.

“You?” He asked.

“I think we’re just going back.” I said.

“Alright. Take care yea. You especially.” He said to Haneul.

Haneul nodded, smiling at him.

“Call me if you need anything?” He said.

“We will.” I smiled.

“Alright then… Bye~” He waved to us before heading the other direction.

Haneul and I looked at each other, sighing in relieve.

“It’s done.” I smiled.

“Yeap.” She pinched my cheek.

“But it’s not over.” She said.

“What? Why?” I asked, clueless.

“Junroro, please don’t tell me you forgot about our parents?” She looked at me.

Oh yea. Indeed, I totally forgot our parents. I felt panic shot through my body again.

“So… When?” I asked.

“I don’t know. My parents will be coming back in a few days.” She said.

“WHAT!? Then why did you mention it only now!?” I yelled, surprised.

“I’m sorry! I forgot too!” She pouted.

“What are we going to do? How are we going to tell them? What if they say no? What if they don’t allow it? Huh?” I started panicking.

“Relax! Relax!” She shook me.

I looked at her, wild thoughts running through my head.

“It’s not like you have not met my parents before.” She said.

I nodded.

“It’s going to be okay.” She assured me.

“So… When?” I asked.

“We’ll go to your parents first.” She said.

“WHY!? I mean.. why mine first?” I asked.

“I don’t know. Since my parents are not back…” She said.

I shook my head.

“Am I very embarrassing that you can’t bring me back?” She asked, pouting slightly.

“It’s not that! Just that… I… although we’re back as a family… I still don’t feel very comfortable with them.” I admitted.

She circled her arms around my neck, looking at me.

“I’m with you, remember?” She said.

I nodded.

“So we’ll meet them first. Okay?” She said.

I looked at her.

“Let’s decide with scissor, paper, stone then. Whoever lose will go first.” She said.

“Quick.” She was all ready already.

I in a deep breath. Imagine two adults playing such a game in the middle of the street, and even worse, it is to decide whose parents to go to first to announce our marriage.

“Scissors, paper, stone.” I said.

She smiled and patted my head.

“Call them. Set a date.” She laughed, linking arms with me, dragging me along.

She showed paper while I showed stone. I lost. Whenever it comes to her, I always lose.
