I sat down at the table and nervously waited for my dad. Donghae grabbed my hand and I looked at him. I smiled and then the doorbell rang. Donghae's mother went and opened the door. My dad and Donghae's mother greeted each other then they walked over to us. We stood up and bowed when they came to the table. My father signaled us to sit down and we all sat down. "Donghae it's been a while." My father smiled at Donghae and Donghae smiled back.

"How have you been Mr. Jung?"

"We've all been well and you?"

"I've been good."

"That's great to hear." Then he turned and looked at me. I squeezed Donghae's hand from under the table. Donghae looked at me worried and then squeezed my hand back. 

"How have you been these past few weeks dear?"

"I've been fine appa."

I couldn't look my father in the eye for some reason. I was afraid if I did I would cry. 

"Dear-"

"Appa can't I just stay here?"

My dad sighed and shook his head.

"Sica if you stay home then-"

"Then can I stay with Hae?"

"Yes Mr. Jung I promise I won't let anything happen to Sica."

My father looked at me and then at Donghae. He thought about it, but couldn't decide. 

"It's fine with me if Jessica stays here. Donghae and her have been friends since they were in kindergarten."

"I understand, but dear would this be fair to the guys living in our house?"

I was taken by surprise. I looked at my father and then at Donghae. 

"Appa."

"Our house is going to be crowded by fans of the new boy band EXO. They won't be living a normal life after today since they've lived with you. They know the daughter of the manager of EXO. People will use them and treat them differently. Do you think they wanted you to leave? They had to let you go dear so you could be safe. How would they feel if you stayed and you suffered? They would suffer for nothing. I will look after them but you're my daughter and I have to protect you first."

My eyes began to water and I looked down. Donghae hugged me and I began to cry. I didn't want to leave, but I didn't want the guys to suffer either. 

--------At the house------

Lulu sat on Jessica's bed and pouted. He's been that way ever since she left to Donghae's house.

"Noona. I miss you." 

He wiped away the tears and heard a faint noise in her room. He looked around and noticed it was her alarm. Sandeul-Crush. He listened to it. He listened to the lyrics carefully.
