The Neoz reached their Hideout and they were greeted by the smell of homecooked food as soon as they unlock the door. They entered the studio and saw the Triplets' Mother Lee Youngwon preparing food on the table and next to her was their Taeyong Samchon. Jabin and Jadin went like "Eomma??" "Taeyongie Hyung?"

Youngwon looked up and saw the kids standing at the entrance. "What are you guys doing there? Come over and eat.."

 

 

"Eomma?? Wae waseo?" asked Areummie.

 

 

"Your Yuno samchon told me to come here."

 

 

"Eh???! APPA? WAE?" exclaimed Hyuna. 

 

 

Sungchan whispered in his sister's ears, "Did you forget what happened this morning."

 

 

"Oh z.. Is Appa and Eomma gonna come too? Jabin and i will be dead if they come." replied HyunA to her brother while walking to the dining. Most of them sat and waited for everything to be ready while Areum and Bommie volunteered to transfer the side dishes that Youngwon brought from home onto the serving plates.

 

 

Bommie saw Taeyong sweater sleeve baggily slipping down to his wrist, making it hard for him to finish scooping Jigae from the pot. She went next to him and spontaneously help him roll his sleeves back up. Taeyong smiled upon seeing the sweet gestures of Bommie.

 

 

Over at the dining table, everyone was giving looks to each other. Seeing the adults come to their hideout makes them anxious of what is going to happen next. They are going to get reprimanded big time today. Jabin was trying to calm nervous HyunA who has been shaking her legs uncontrollably.

 

 

He grasped her thigh and then offered his hand, intertwining his fingers with hers. HyunA then looks over to Jabin next to her and signaled him "Not here. Your mother is here." 

 

 

"Gwenchana.. She will understand." Jabin miming to HyunA.

The dishes were all ready and it was time to eat. "Jal mogettseumida.."

 

 

While they eat, the Neoz were acting all normal. Even Youngwon and Taeyong wasn't really touching on the sensitive topics yet. Midway through dinner, the doorbell rang. All of them stuck out their head to look at the auto door screen monitor like a meerkat.

Before one of the Neoz could unlock the door, the door was already open and in came Jungwoo, Youngjae, Jaehyun and Yunha. Youn Jung bolted up at the sight of her parents. Sungchan looked over to HyunA and both of them gave the crying face. 

 

 

"Oh.. oh.." Bommie softly mumbling out the words.

 

 

The two couples who just entered took a seat at the couch without looking at the kids. Youngwon and Taeyong who was looking at each other was giving signals to one another saying that they should wrap up dinner quickly. Youngwon quickly took her last spoon of food and told the kids, "Yedora, quickly finish up your food and go sit at the living room.

 

 

"Manggetta.. I told you we're dead." said HyunA not realizing her voice was loud enough for her mother to hear.

 

 

"Yahh Jeong HyunA! Neol illuwa. You especially, have a lot of explaining to do. Suh Jabin. You too."

 

 

"Ahhh. ermm.. Imo.. I can explai-"

 

 

"Jabin ah.. finish up your food. Then explain. Yedora.. If you're done. Ga... Taeyong samchon and i will clean up." said Youngwon. 

 

 

Not long after, the Neoz all sat at the living room. Ready to get an earful. Man.. its supposed to be an afterparty for Jadin's basketball winnings. I guess its the Asian Parenting 101. Before they could even start, Johnny and Haechan also entered the studio after their schedules for the day. The two of them were greeted by Youngwon who was clearing the food in the dining area.

 

 

"Eo.. Yeobo.. waseo.. How is the cafe business going?" asked Youngwon.

 

 

"Its all settled for now. Haechan and I already signed the lease so we will start the renovation next week. Not sure when we can start running it but slowly but surely." Answered Johnny. Haechan also nodded. Haechan also held his hand at his tummy,"Noona Baegopah.."

 

"Anja.. I'll lay out some food for you. Yeobo how about you?"

 

 

"I'm okay.. I've ate earlier.." Johnny and Haechan two looked over at the living room and saw the kids head bow down about to get reprimanded.

"I expect no less than A grades in your result slips or i'm shutting down this Hideout. Kim Youn Jung what were you doing with Sungchan last night? You told me that you were studying. But what is this i'm seeing? Cuddling? On this couch? Sleeping in each other arms. What is this?" Jungwoo's voice was stern, his gaze more and so as he stared at the wide eyed faces of the Neoz sitting in front of him. 

He had his Ipad showcasing the CCTV footage of the Hideout yesterday. He usually doesn't check on it eventhough he had installed it for security purposes. But because Jaehyun had told him to check it this morning after conveying what happened earlier. It also showcased Jabin and HyunA kissing yesterday. 

 

 

The Neoz were all looking at each other faces. They were embarassed. But Jadin was not really happy when he saw the footage of when they already left. "Sungchannie likes Youn Jung? Youn Jung too?" said Jadin in his thoughts.

 

 

“I happen to be pretty accustomed, to looking at my fail grades Samchon as a matter of fact. So the grades thing only applies to Youn Jung.” HyunA, the more outspoken one of the Neoz had shrugged, looking up after Jungwoo's remark with a resigned sigh.

 

 

Her boyfriend Jabin having giggled at the statement but his smile dropped immediately when Yunha had glared at him, casting his gaze quickly onto the carpetted floor, nudging HyunA urgently.

 

 

“Jeong HyunA! Is there any problem with what Jungwoo Samchon just said? How dare you. So what? Are you planning to keep on failing??” Yunha leaned back against the couch, one hand holding the back of her neck. She knew her daughter grades won't be improving anytime soon. She is one the reason why her blood pressure keeps shooting up.

 

 

Jabin shook his head quickly on behalf of his girlfriend, trying to stifle his giggle as HyunA leaned forward, shaking her head at her mother with a sly smile on her face.

 

 

“Aniyo Eomma,” HyunA answered, earning an eye roll from her mother, her father Jaehyun was trying to calm Yunha down. He was holding her tummy for some reason. Jaehyun decided to take over the nagging.

 

 

"Jeong Sungchan.. What did i tell you about setting boundaries?" 

 

 

"But Appa.. we really did nothing. We are always this close since we were kids." answered Sungchan.

 

 

"Sungchan ah, i know how you feel. But all of you are now grown young adults. You guys are no longer 5 year olds running around the house with your diapers still on. We just want you guys to be careful. Anything can happened when a woman and a man are in a room together." advised Jaehyun.

 

 

"Youn Jung neodu.. I'm very disappointed in you. My heart just stops when i saw what you did on this couch. You are a lady for goodness sake. We gave you this Hideout for you to rest from studying so hard and do what you love. NOT MAKE LOVE!" nagged Youngjae.

 

 

"But Mummy, i really didnt do anything with Sungchan." defended Youn Jung.

 

 

"Kim Youn Jung dakjeo! One more word from you. I'm really gonna lock this studio down." yelled Jungwoo making Youn Jung shed a tear of the unfairness.

 

 

"Suh Jabin, i want you to break up with my daughter." said Yunha with a straight face.

 

 

"WHATT!!! NO!" exclaimed HyunA now standing up looking at her mother.

 

 

"Painful isn't it?!" said Yunha staring her daughter down. 

 

 

"Look HyunA, yedora.. We are doing this for your own good. Falling in love at this age where you're supposed to focus on your studies is just useless. Moreover, you are falling in love with your bestfriends. Have you guys thought of what will happen to your friendship if the 'Love' you shared with each other failed?"

 

 

"We never know, if we weren't allowed to even try Eommonim." answered Jabin now standing next to HyunA. He grabbed her hand boldly displaying it to everyone.

 

 

"Yunha Imo, Jaehyun Samchon. I really love HyunA eversince we were kids. You have a point about how our friendship will be affected if we were to be romantically involved with each other. But that's only the negative part of the general picture. That falls under the What Ifs category."

 

 

"The positive part of it is, I get to love her more deeply because i know and could accomodate to the dos and don'ts of what HyunA likes and dislikes. Vice versa too. Both of us complete each other." expressed Jabin.

 

 

HyunA looked over at her boyfriend all impressed with whatever he just said. She is touched by how he really stood up for their relationship politely. The rest of Neoz were also surprised by Jabin's reaction. Wahh love must have already gotten into him. Yeokshi lady killer, Suh Jabin. :')

 

 

The other set of parents and uncle at the dining area couldn’t stop looking at the drama. They were speechless but yeah both parties have a point.

 

 

Taeyong look at his watch when Jadin out of knowhere bombarded him with a bonus question. "Then what about Taeyong Hyung and Bommie?"

 

 

"Taeyong Hyung?! Nugget?!" exclaimed Haechan now looking to his side.

 

 

The clock on the wall read that it was almost 8.30pm. Taeyong was supposed to leave and go to his SM studio. Only at times like this did he wish he wasn't here to answer to the drama.

 

 

"Ani.. Haechan there is nothing going on. Okay guys.. I gotta go. See you guys later.." as he exits the studio rushingly.

 

 

“Is that all he had to say? Jeezzz he really does know how to get away.” said Johnny. 

 

 

Johnny then asked the Neoz what all this drama is all about, all of which them still looking very upset. Johnny being an open-minded father, he kinda wanted to hear everyone side of story first before deciding what to say. Thats just how he is.

 

 

"Appa.. I love HyunA. And you know i'm not the type to play around when it comes to love and friendships." said Jabinnie.

 

 

"Ara.."

 

 

"Samchon, there really isn't anything going on with me and Taeyongie oppa. We are just close. Like how i am with the Neoz." 

 

 

“But Nugget, you do realized that you just called Taeyong Hyung. Oppa." Said Haechan now walking to his princess. 

 

 

"I did? I must have lost my mind. Taeyongie Oppa just keep on asking me to call him that.. That now, it sticks in my brain. Oh . I just said it again Hahahahahah" replied Bommie all giggly. 

 

 

"Okay.. Lee Bom, i will talk to you at home separately but as of now. Quiet down." said Haechannie.

 

 

"Okay okay yedora.. I've heard yall enough. Areum, Jadin, Jabin.. You guys are in your final year of high school. You guys should be revising for your exams."

 

 

"Jaehyun ah... Yunha yah.. Let the kids date alright." said Johnny looking at the couple.

 

 

"But on one condition. HyunA.. You need to promise us that you will improve your grades. Jabinnie. I want you to help HyunA with it."

 

"Also, Sungchannie and Youn Jungie. All of you. Promise me that all of you know how to take care of each other feelings. Be responsible for your own actions. Remember before any form of relationship, you guys are not just friends. You guys are a family. We are all family. So please. I'm counting on you guys as our successors."

 

 

"But John-"

 

 

"Don't worry Yunha.. They will be fine. Please trust my son. I trust our children." said Johnny assuring her.

 

 

"Me too." agreed Youngwon.

 

 

"Me three.." added Haechannie following the oldest couple.

 

 

"Aigooooooooo.. Stresseu.." responded Yunha.

 

 

"Yunha yah.. Don't be too stress. Its not good for the baby.." said Youngwon.

 

 

"BABY?????????!!!!" exclaimed all the Neoz.
