"Kim Jongin." Jongdae yells, waking Jongin and the woman beside him,

"What?" Jongin groggily asks,

"We're at your apartment, but only your luggage is here." Kyungsoo says, snatching the phone from Jongdae,

"We're at Okto, what's the rush?" Jongin mumbles into his wife's hair,

"Hiking trip, honey." Heeyoung wraps her arms around his bare chest.

Kyungsoo repeats her words.

"I forgot." Jongin groans,

"We thought so. We'll be there in half-an-hour to pick Junmyeon and you up." Kyungsoo hangs up.

"I'll see you on Monday." Heeyoung yawns as her husband suddenly climbs on top of her, giving her a suggestive look.

"Jongin." She frowns, but he's quick to kiss it away.

"They'll be here before you know it." She warns, but he's already trailing kisses down her neck.

---

"Where's the husband?" Haechan asks when Heeyoung joins them for breakfast on the rooftop.

"Hiking trip with his friends." She says, taking a seat between a hungover Taehyung and Jaemin,

"We should go on a trip as well." Seol excitedly claps, earning groans from her hungover friends,

"Your fault." Seol snorts, as Heeyoung's ringtone blares, earning louder groans.

"What's up?" Heeyoung puts her phone on speaker, massaging Jaemin's head with one hand, and Taehyung with the other while they take turns feeding her.

"Making plans for the free weekend." Sera says,

"We're planning a trip." Heeyoung asks,

"I'm with Seungwan and Yiming." Sera informs her,

"Have them join us?" Hana asks,

"We can go to Jeju?" Bomi suggests.

"We'll meet at the airport in 2 hours." Heeyoung confirms, hanging up. 

"Did we have to invite them?" Jaemin whines.

"Jaemin." His friends warn, hoping he sobers up soon. A hungover Jaemin Kim is the worst.

"Babe, we're here." Jackson informs his girlfriend as he drives into the private parking lot.

"Oh." Sera yawns, shaking Yiming and Seungwan awake.

"Where are Heeyoung and her friends?" Hyeri asks, walking over with the rest with a duffel bag in their hands,

"Hello, we can get those for you." A helper interrupts, taking their bags to the lone plane on the tarmac.

"They'll be here soon, we can get seated." Jackson says, leading them to the plane.

"Welcome VP Wang." The flight attendant greets, showing the group to the seating area as they hear loud noises from the back of the plane.

"Baby girl." Jackson hugs his friend,

"Wang." Hope chuckles,

"Haven't seen you in forever." Jackson mumbles, swaying them back and forth.

"Three weeks isn't long." Jaemin grumbles, pulling them apart,

"Hello to you as well, Jaemin." Jackson waves, but he's ignored,

"I'm going to sleep." Jaemin tells his friends, not bothering to greet anyone as he heads down the hallway.

Taehyung claps his hands, "Would you like a tour?" He flashes them a bright smile, making it difficult for the ladies to refuse. 

"Let's go." Taehyung pulls Hope with him.

"This is a multipurpose room, we usually use it as a dining room." Taehyung says, walking through a decent sized room.

"The kitchen is past those doors." Hope adds, pointing at the door on the side as they walk through a hallway,

"As you can see, the conference room." Taehyung says, walking past the glassed windows of said room.

"The bedrooms are upstairs and beyond these doors are the staff quarters." Heeyoung smiles, leading them back to the seating area.

---

"We'll see you for lunch." Heeyoung says, following her friends to the back of the plane,

"Where's the car you booked?" Jihyun whispers to Hyeri, as a well dressed male steps out of an SUV,

"Hello, your luggage has been loaded into the cars, if you would." The ladies are surprised,

"Cancel your hotel reservations." Sera yells over her shoulders, following Jackson to a car.

"Where are we headed?" Hyeri asks, watching Sunmi, Aejung and Jihyun get into the first car, while she follows the two youngest.

"We're headed to the Park Villa." The driver informs.

~

Park Villa is beautiful, surrounded by greenery on three sides and the ocean as it's backyard.

"Where are the others?" Yiming looks around,

The old man at the front steps up, "The Masters are settling in."

"Sera?" Seungwan asks,

"Mr. Wang and Ms. Oh are in the North wing." He informs them, leading them past the glass windows and the grand pool located in the middle of the three buildings.

"If you have any requests or complaints, there's a touch screen available in your rooms." The butler leaves them to the maids.

"The touch screens have a menu, if you could let us know about any specific requests or allergies." The maid tells them.

During lunch, a helper shows the ladies to the dining room where Heeyoung and her friends are already seated including Jackson and Sera.

"How are you liking things so far?" Bomi starts,

"Wonderful." Seungwan exclaims,

"Thank you for accommodating us." Hyeri politely smiles.

"Well, we don't really know the area, we're hoping you could show us around?" Hana turns to her future cousin-in-law.

"No problem. We've been here so many times, We practically know the area like the back of our hands." Seungwan chirps.

---

"I'm exhausted!" Hope pants, slumping against Haechan as they walk back into the house.

"Dinner is being prepared, by the time you've freshened up it'll be ready." Butler Kim informs them,

"Thank you Butler Kim." Bomi smiles at the elder man, splitting away to their rooms.

"Is there usually radio silence when they're on their hiking trips?" Seol frowns at her phone, turning to the other ladies.

"Usually, since there's no decent signal." Hope tells her,

Seol sighs, pushing her phone away, "What are we doing tomorrow?" She asks, trying to distract herself,

"I want to visit the Hello Kitty cafe." Bomi comments,

"We can start off from there and visit other parks and museums?" Aejung suggests,

"You fine with that?" Jaemin turns to Hope,

"Very." She chirps, excited for tomorrow.

---

"When do we leave for the airport?" Sera asks, as they're relaxing by pool,

"After lunch." Hana answers, soaking her toes in the pool.

"Has anyone seen Hope?" Bomi asks,

"She's taking a nap." Eddy informs, sitting beside his girlfriend.

"Where's Jae?" Seol lowers her sunglasses, searching for her friend.

"He's busy with a phone call." Taehyung says, walking out of the pool, giving his fans a good show.

"You're drooling." Jihyun whispers to Seungwan, the younger wipes at as Taehyung heads inside.

---

"Heeyoung, can you contact Jongin?" Seungwan frowns at her phone as they wait for take-off.

"I haven't tried."

"Can you? None of them are responding to calls or texts." Seungwan worries,

"They might still not have signal." Heeyoung tries to comfort her,

"That's what I'm saying. Yeol's mentioned they don't even turn their phones on until they're home." Sunmi says,

"Isn't that too much? What if there's an emergency?" Seol grimaces,

"Call 119." Hana deadpans, as Jaemin plops into the empty seat beside Hope.

"Wake me up when we get there." He mumbles, leaning his head on her shoulder.

Haechan frowns at the younger, but his wife squeezes his hand.

"Hope." Taehyung frowns,

"What?" She frowns, noticing his expression,

"He can't keep doing this." Taehyung mumbles,

"What?"

"Your husband's understanding, but the green monster does lurk in him. Jaemin is stubborn and refuses to change, but you should." Taehyung explains, showing her a picture of Jaemin and her napping together on a hammock.

~

"Hope, I can drop you off." Jaemin offers, grabbing her hand as they head for the exit,

"I'm going with Tae." Hope smiles, pulling her hand away and running down the stairs,

"Stop interfering with her life. She's happy with her husband." Taehyung tells Jaemin, following after Hope.

"Jae, no drama please." Jihana pats his back, walking away.

"Let's go get some ice cream." Seol chirps, dragging Jaemin to his car.

---

"Why here?" Taehyung asks, pulling in front of Building D.

"He's here." Hope points out, noticing Jongdae's SUV.

"You're happy with him?" Taehyung inquires,

"Very." She honestly answers,

"Good." Taehyung chuckles, helping her carry her things.

"I really like him, Tae." She shyly mumbles, unlocking her apartment.

"What-"

"What. The. Fu-" Hope bites her tongue at the sight of the messy apartment with bodies haphazardly laying around the open space. She freezes seeing a small body squished on the mattresses between Junmyeon and Jongin.

Taehyung whistles coming in behind her as he sets her bags on the couch, however the smile falls off his face at the sight of the tiny human.

"What's happening?" Taehyung focuses on the young child.

"I'm not sure." Hope stutters, tripping over a throw pillow and waking some people up, including the boy.

"Hope." The boy squeals, untangling himself from the two adults. The kid doesn't notice he's stepping over the other men on his path to the two adults standing by the entryway.

"Hope, I missed you so much." The boy cries, jumping into her arms and wrapping his limbs around her.

"I missed you too, baby, very much." Heeyoung stands the boy on the couch, fussing over him.

"Jayden Spencer, What are you doing here?" Taehyung scowls. The tone scares the boy into squeezing Heeyoung tightly.

"I missed everyone." Jayden pouts, causing Heeyoung to glare at her best friend,

"We missed you too, baby. But how are you here? Did your uncle come with you, what about school and does your mo-" Her rambling is cut short when Jayden squishes her face and smacks a loud kiss on her forehead,

"We're currently on break. Uncle thinks I'm at camp." Jayden nervously explains, not chancing a glance at Taehyung.

"How did you meet him?" Taehyung turns to Jongin for answers.

~

A little into their journey, Sehun received a call from his uncle, the Chief of Police. At the station, he introduced them to the little boy. The boy insists that one of the Kim's related to Kim Jisung is his father and when asked for proof, he showed them an ancestry report. Of course, the Kim's denied it, but the chief ordered them to take care of Jayden while he tries to find his family. Not wanting Seungwan to find out, Jongdae refused to let anyone talk to their partners. The messy apartment is a result of Sehun giving Jayden coffee with lots of sugar.

~

Heeyoung and Taehyung share a look, turning to Jayden,

"Spence." Hope sighs,

"I ran an ancestry test, Hope. I'm related to Hana, so it has to be one of them." The boy argues,

"Spence, it's not good to lie." Taehyung frowns, reaching for him but the kid jumps away from him,

"I'm not lying." Jayden insists, tears lining his eyes,

"Baby." Heeyoung settles Jayden on her hip.

"We can run a DNA Test." Jayden suggests,

"Jayden Spencer, we're not playing any games." Taehyung scolds, snatching Jayden from Hope and heading for the exit.

"Did he bring anything with him?" Heeyoung asks her husband, who points to a small backpack.

"Sorry for the trouble he caused. Don't take his words to heart. Think of it as a prank and forget about it, please." She heads for the door with the backpack and a water bottle, "Don't worry about cleaning up, either."

"Should we cancel the DNA test?" Jongdae meekly suggests,

"Why? Scared he's yours?" Kyungsoo teases with a calm face,

"Of course not." The youngest Kim denies, looking over at his older twin,

"He does look a lot like Junmyeon." Yixing thinks out loud, getting a pillow to his face,

"I'm leaving." Junmyeon rolls his eyes, grabbing his phone from the counter and heading for the exit.

~

"I am disappointed in you, Jayden Spencer Choi. Pulling a stunt like this?" Taehyung scolds, as fresh tears roll down the kid's face,

"Taehyung, that's enough." Hope walks over, helping Jayden drink some water.

"Minho didn't even realize he was missing, Hope. None of us did. Do you understand Jayden? You flew to a different continent without telling any of us, if something had happened to you, none of us would have realized. Minho is worried sick. How are you going to expla-"

"He knows he's made a mistake, you don't have to remind him." Junmyeon interrupts Taehyung,

"You don't have the right to speak between us." Taehyung snarls,

"Tae." Heeyoung calls, as Jayden hides behind her,

"I.I might be his father." Junmyeon retorts,

Taehyung scoffs, "He's a kid, don't take his words seriously."

His harsh words result in sobs from the kid, "Taehyung Kim, that's enough." Hope glares, comforting Jayden.

"Hey Jayden, how about the three of us get something to eat?" Jongin asks, crouching next to his wife,

"The only place he's going is the airport." Taehyung argues,

"Hope, I don't want to go. Please, stop him." Jayden sobs.

Taehyung grabs Jayden, but he pushes him off and hides behind Junmyeon,

"Don't make me go back. I promise to behave, I'll listen to everything. Please let me stay." The pleading stops when the boy falls to the ground unconscious.

---

"How is he?" Heeyoung anxiously asks Dr.Yoon,

"He's dehydrated. You can leave once he wakes up."

"Thanks, doc." Heeyoung nods, hurrying into the room.

"Jaeho Yoon." Taehyung greets,

"Taehyung Kim." Jaeho nods,

"Come near her again and I'll hurt you." Taehyung warns, stepping past him and inside the room.

Jongin and Junmyeon awkwardly nod at the doctor on their way inside.

"Oh my baby, I'm so sorry." Taehyung apologizes, kissing Jayden's palms,

"I'm sorry too. I should have informed someone. I'm sorry for worrying you. But please don't send me back, I really want to find my father." Jayden cries,

"My baby, you can do whatever you want." Hope hugs him tightly, narrowing her eyes at Taehyung over Jayden's shoulder,

Taehyung accepts defeat, "He can stay as long as his mother is okay with it."

Junmyeon clears his throat, smiling down at Jayden, "I'm going to leave. Let's talk more next time, bud." He ruffles Jayden's hair,

"Thank you for taking care of me." Jayden respectfully bows, earning chuckles from the adults,

"Hope's husband, can I stay with Hope and you?" Jayden asks, once Junmyeon leaves.

"As long as your mother is fine with it." Jongin pats Jayden's head,

"Can we get bubble tea, please." Jayden pouts at Hope.

~

"Chocolate Bubble tea for Jayden and Hope." Jongin sets the identical cups across their owners, while he sips on his bright pink drink.

"Wow! This is awesome." Jayden happily sips,

"How did Minho react?" Jongin whispers, keeping an eye on the child,

"Angry but relieved since he's safe." She answers,

"I'm glad he managed to get to the station safely. He walked in without any identification." Jongin shakes his head.

"Thank you for taking care of him." She leans on him and he wraps an arm around her waist.

"Hope, I want to go there." Jayden interrupts, pointing to the tower in the distance,

"N Seoul Tower." Jongin informs him,

"I want to go there and try street food and visit a night market and Everland and the palaces wearing traditional clothes and lotte world-"

"We'll do that after you've talked to your mother." Hope shuts off his rambling, causing the kid to visibly deflate.

"We can go visit the tower after you're finished with your drink." Jongin suggests, his wife sends him a curious look.

"Let him have fun for an hour." Jongin tells her, holding her drink up for her.

"Done." Jayden holds his empty cup for them to see.

"Let's go!" Jongin grins.

~

"We took cable cars to go on top of Stone Mountain, too."

"Hope, I want to try those swirly things"

"The bathroom has glass windows. I saw everything, Hope."

 

"Hope's husband,-"

"Manners, Jayden."

"It's fine."

"It's not. Call him Hyung or Uncle, Spence."

"You never cared what I called your exes."

"Jayden-"

 

"Hello Kitty, Bomi will love this place."

 

"Hope's husband, my legs hurt."

"Spencer."

"Jongin Uncle, carry me."

 

"I'm hungry."

 

"It's rude to kiss around children."

 

"I want to go to the Superhero one."

"Hope's husband, Iron Man or Captain America?"

"Iron Man."

"Hope and I like Dr. Strange."

 

"Can we get locks?"

 

"What did you write, Hope?"

"Not telling."

"Hope's husband."

"Nope."

"I'll tell you mine."

"That's fine."

 

"Hope, I'm hungry."

 

"I'm sleepy."

 

"My head's about to explode from all the language switches." Jongin mumbles, carrying a sleeping Jayden to their car,

"It's good to start learning languages young." She muses, opening the door for him.

"He barely talked to any of us. I don't think he smiled once." Jongin sighs, pulling his wife into his arms, "He got along with Jun, Xing, Yeol and Soo, everyone else he tolerated but Hun and I, he hated."

"I doubt that. Spence couldn't hate anyone." Heeyoung tries to defend him,

"After seeing our wedding pictures, he gave me the ugliest look." Jongin whines as she runs her fingers through his hair, "I tried to warn you, but Dae snatched all our phones up, afraid we would 'spill'." Jongin groans, slumping against his wife.

"My poor baby." Hope muses, kissing Jongin's chin "Spence will come around, but Jongdae should hide for the next few days, the ladies aren't too happy." Heeyoung jokes, as Jongin's phone rings with incoming texts.

---

Following Jayden's instructions, Hope calls her friends to her apartment citing an emergency.

"Wifey." Hana walks in with Eddy.

"Is Seol with you?" Heeyoung nervously asks, glancing at the entryway as she keeps the vacuum away.

"Jae and her are coming together." Eddy tells her, pulling her to sit beside him,

"Am I right? Are you pregnant?" Bomi chirps,

"What? No. It's not that." Heeyoung frustrated asks,

A hand lands on her shoulder, Haechan is looking down at her, "Whatever it is, it'll be fine." He assures her,

"Where is he?" Taehyung whispers as he's hugging her.

"Sleeping in my room." Heeyoung informs him, as Seol and Jaemin walk in.

"What the fu*k happened here?" Jaemin asks, looking at the huge bag of trash.

"Uhm." Hope gulps hearing her bedroom door open,

"Hope, what's wrong?" Jaemin asks, putting his hand on her forehead while Bomi's attention is on the boy sleepily rubbing his eyes.

Haechan is alerted by his wife, with Hana following Haechan's intense gaze and nudging her boyfriend.

"What's going on?" Seol asks as someone hugs her waist.

"Hi, Mom." Jayden surprises Seol,

"Jayden, what are you doing here?!" Surprised, Seol quickly picks him up.

"I missed everyone, so I decided to surprise you." Jayden fibs, moving to hug the others in the room, skipping Jaemin and returning to his mother.

"Mom missed you too." Seol plants kisses over his face,

"Didn't you miss me, buddy?" Jaemin frowns at the kid, but he's ignored.

"How did you get here?" Hana questions,

"And with whom?" Jaemin asks, oblivious of the glares thrown his way,

"Hope can explain." Jayden deflects, causing everyone to turn to the homeowner,

"Me? Taehyung." She diverts, trying to hide behind Eddy,

"What the fu*k, Hope."

"Little ears." Bomi scolds,

"I know fu*k, Hana says that a lot." Jayden chimes, smiling brightly at Hana,

"I don't realize he's there half the time." Hana defends, when the front door unlocks again.

"Jongin?" Heeyoung frowns, as Jongin and his friends awkwardly scuffle in,

"I need a drink." Hana mumbles, heading to the kitchen,

"We all need one." Sehun agrees with her,

"No drinking with Spence here." Heeyoung says, pointing at Jayden,

"Hey kid." Sehun ruffles Jayden's head,

"Don't touch me, I don't like you." Jayden smacks his hand away,

"After torturing me for three days, how can you say that, you rude brat?" Sehun scolds,

"What's going on?" Seol asks.

Junmyeon looks as if he's been struck by lightning.

"When I got here, I heard you guys had left to go to Jeju, so I found Hope's husband." Jayden calmly explains, glossing over minor details,

Sehun snorts, but Hope kicks him to keep his mouth shut,

"Who did you come with?" Seol asks Jayden,

"I used Eddy's plane." Jayden answers,

"You have access to Eddy's plane?" 

"It was his present." Jayden smiles at Eddy, while the rest of his friends give him weird looks,

"It's better than that hover board, which left him in a cast." Eddy argues, turning to Taehyung,

"It was a lesson learned. Spence be honest, what's your favorite gift?" Taehyung settles Jayden on his lap, the child seriously thinking over it.

Sehun attempts to bring them back on track, but Jongin covers his mouth, realizing they're trying to distract Seol.

"Hope's gift." Jayden answers,

"What did she get you?" Jongin prods, trying to keep Jayden talking.

"A matching miniature of her black car and she came to visit me with lots of chocolates." Jayden beams,

"You liked that better than hacking?" Jaemin pinches Jayden's cheeks,

"Hacking?"

"I'm thankful for that, cause if you didn't teach me how to hack, I couldn't have hacked into Minho uncle's emails and deleted my cancellation of camp, nor could I have gotten my ancestry re-"

"Ancestry? Are you looking for your father or something?" Hana teases,

Jayden purses his lips, "Yes. I'm looking for my dad. I'm tired of being different from everyone else and not having a dad. I keep asking you guys but no one tells me anything." He yells,

"Jayden Spencer Choi, watch your tone." Taehyung scolds,

"Tae-" Junmyeon calls,

"Stay out of this." Taehyung growls,

"Didn't we promise to tell you once you're older." Jaemin says,

"I am old." Jayden states,

Taehyung  pinches the space between his eyebrows, "You lied to everyone and secretly flew here and spent the last few days troubling these people. You made reckless decisions that could have ended terribly, and yet you have the-" 

"Enough." Junmyeon snaps, stepping between Jayden and Taehyung,

"You don't have the right to speak between us, stay out." Taehyung spits,

"I actually do, considering he's my son." Junmyeon fires back,

"Dating Seol doesn't give you the right to act as his father nor speak between us, Oppa." Hana snaps,

"Actually, he's claiming it based on genetics." Sehun steps in, passing them a DNA result stating Junmyeon and Jayden as 99.9% biologically related.

"Wait, what?" Seol asks, stunned,

"Are you my father?" Jayden speaks up, peeking around Hope,

Junmyeon softly smiles, crouching down "I am." He opens his arms for the little boy to walk into.

"How dare you run a DNA test on him?" Jaemin glares at his cousins,

"Did you know Jayden was Junmyeon's son?" Jongdae retorts,

"Did you?" Seol asks, feeling betrayed as her friends look guilty,

"By the time we got the results, Junmyeon and you were already seeing each other." Bomi explains,

"You should have still told us." Junmyeon argues, as a confused Jayden looks between the adults,

"What would you have done, Hyung? Run away like you did back then?" Jaemin taunts,

"Jaemin." Hana pulls him back, as Jayden clings to Junmyeon.

"Does Jae appa not like dad?" Jayden questions,

"Of course not baby." Jaemin smiles at the boy.

"Really!" Jayden brightens up, Jaemin reluctantly nods.

"Jayden, are you happy?" Seol softly asks her son,

"Very, very happy. I found my dad and I can stay with Hope." Jayden brightly smiles.

"I can't believe that rude brat is Junmyeon's son." Sehun muses, watching Jayden introducing Junmyeon to Haechan and Bomi.

"Lawyer Oh, who are you calling a rude brat?" Heeyoung glances at the lawyer,

"No one." Sehun gulps.

---

"You would think a month would be enough to adjust to a new environment." Heeyoung frowns, watching Junmyeon and Jayden drive away,

"How long did it take you?" Jongin asks, leading her towards the garage,

"The first time, I didn't even spend 24 hours because I took the first flight out of the country, which thankfully happened to be to Singapore. But the second time, I slept for over half a day." She nods,

"You actually ran away." Jongin shakes his head,

"Mr.Byun's first words, 'You're here, I've arranged your marriage.' What a joke." She scoffs,

"Don't." She warns at his pitiful look,

"You got a handsome husband." He tries to lighten up the mood, entering the passcode for the garage.

"There's only a few, I keep the rest at my parent's garage." He tells her as they walk inside,

"Huh, it does look good in white. Jae has that one, I didn't like it enough to get one, but Jae lets me borrow his." She comments,

"I can't surprise you, can I?" He wraps his arms around her waist, leaning his chin on her shoulders as he points at the silver car, 

"That's my graduation present from Mom and Dad." He says.

---

"Why are they here again?" Jongin whines, noticing his friend's cars parked in the guest lot,

"CEO Kim." Heeyoung frowns at him,

"It's date night." Jongin whines, dragging his feet up the stairs,

"Let's kick them out quickly." Jongin whispers, ignoring his wife shaking her head at him.

~

"Finally, where have you been?" Sehun yells at the two entering the living room.

"Lawyer Oh, Breaking and entering is a crime." Heeyoung deadpans,

"We're here to meet Jayden." Seungwan interrupts,

"Did we interrupt your date?" Jongdae eyes their semi-matching outfits.

"I'm going to change." Heeyoung rolls her eyes, heading to her bedroom.

"Text me if you're going to interrupt my plans." Jongin snarls, hurrying after his wife.

"Don't take too long, Oktos will be here soon." Jongdae yells behind them.

"What's with that name?" Heeyoung grimaces at the nickname given to her friends by Jongin and company.

"You call us Seoulites." Jongin points out.

~

"Heeyoung." Chanyeol discreetly pulls her inside the pantry, 

"Have you told him?" The taller asks, causing the younger to glare at him, "What are you waiting for?"

"The right time, I can't tell him suddenly."

"Park, I understand you're scared, but..."

"Junmyeon's here." Sehun yells, Heeyoung uses this chance to run away.

"Myeon." Heeyoung waves, as he returns from putting Jayden to sleep in the guestroom.

"Hi." He smiles at her, taking a seat beside Seol.

"My parents would like to meet Jayden." Junmyeon starts,

"No." Jaemin rejects,

"It's too soon for Jayden." Hana follows up,

"It's been weeks. I'm sure Jayden wants to meet his grandparents." Minseok steps in,

"We have doubts about your parent's intentions regarding Jayden, so we're being cautious." Haechan uses his professional lawyer tone,

"Uncle and aunty are the kindest people I know." Seungwan defends,

"You belong to their world, of course they would be." Hana scoffs,

"Our parents were kicked out of the family, because they didn't like my foreign mother. Other than Jaesuk Uncle's family, everyone else happily took part in our misery." Jaemin spits,

"Please recall Minseok and Hyeri's engagement party." Heeyoung adds,

"My parents would never hurt Jayden." Junmyeon defends,

"Junmyeon-ssi, I don't want Jayden meeting your family." Heeyoung gives him a blank look, startling him as she's never given him that look. "However, we can't make that decision for Jayden." She turns to her friends, "It's his choice, whatever it is, we support him."

"Isn't it right to let them meet once as his grandparents?" Minseok asks,

"Oppa, Please don't speak between us." Hana requests,

"But Minseok isn't wrong. If we ask Jayden he's going to refuse, it's better to let them meet once." Seol argues, earning angry looks from her friends.

"At the end of the day, it's Jayden's decision." Taehyung says, 

"As his mother, I've decided to let him meet his grandparents." Seol states,

Hana loudly snorts, turning to Seol with a deadly glare, "Mother? You did give birth to him, but if I'm not mistaken, Hope, Jaemin and Taehyung raised Jayden for the first years of his life and now it's Minho and Taemi."

"It doesn't change the fact he's my son." Seol states.

Hana scoffs.

"Hana." Hope glances between a seething Hana and Seol,

"First of all, it's Jayden's decision, the end." Hana snaps, "Son? The son you were ready to abor-"

"Jihana!" Her friends stop her, not wanting to rehash old wounds, 

"If she wants to pull the mother card, she should have acted like one in the first damn place. Hope was the first person to hold your son, because you refused to look at him. You left the baby with them and continued living your life. But they didn't, They couldn't. His fu*king mother wasn't waking up at nights to change diapers, they were. Hell, you've never changed his diapers. Don't bring up school or work, because Hope and Jaemin were double-majoring on a fast track program and Taehyung was busy with his modeling career and school. They sacrificed their social lives to take care of Spence and you only showed up when Bomi dragged you out." Hana heatedly states, indifferent of the additional audience,

"I admit I wasn't mother of the year, but I trie-"

"You can't excuse your behavior, Seol."

"I was 19." Seol stands up, "What did you expect from me? I had my future ahead of me."

"Hope and Taehyung were fu*king 18." Hana scoffs,

"Calm down." Jaemin tries to mediate,

"She needs to understand-"

"Hana, stop." Heeyoung steps between them,

"Why is it always you?" Seol glares at Hope, surprising their friends with her hostile tone,

"Perfect, little Hope Park. Interfering in my life since day 1. My brother, My son and my best friends. Why it always you?" Seol pushes Heeyoung, causing her to trip and hit her head on the edge of the table as she falls to the floor.
