Kai’s mouth dropped at the sight before him.

“Jongin,” His brother suddenly hissed by his side. “Close. Your. Mouth.”

Jongin blinked to register that. He shut his mouth at once and worriedly threw a glance at this brother who was looking at him with a very strained smile.

“Are you sure that is Ari?” Jongin asks, almost pointing at the girl who had just walked in, her hands curled around a middle aged man.

“Yes. That is her step-father and her mother is behind them.” Junmyeon whispers to him while going ahead to welcome them. Kai, however stayed back and just watched, making sure that his mouth was sealed.

She was in a very slinky black dress, not revealing but y enough because it hugged every of her curve perfectly. She had her long hair curled and swept to one side of her shoulder and her lips were bright red. Her fingernails were impeccably done and her shoes where high enough for her to almost reach Junmyeon’s height.

The man besides her, her step-father was a very handsome man. He recognised him from the newspapers as the head of his father's rival firm.

His eyes went to the mother next and was surprised to see that they looked very much alike, with make up that is. She was wearing a white dress, probably a little too young for her but she had a great body and he did not really care.

From the looks of it, Jongin could just guess that Ari did not have a good relationship with her mother. He wondered why.
