The last member arrived a week after Dongwan moved into the dorm.  His name is Park Choong Jae, a jack-of-all-trades who could do practically everything that the rest of the members were scouted for.  He got along well with everyone too, being able to match everybody’s pace and humour naturally.  On top of that, he’s got the looks and the height of an idol.  He's practically perfect, and everyone both admired and envied him a little—including Hyesung.

However, he carried with him a heavy past that the rest of the members didn’t find out until a few months after their training began.

It was during one of their secret drinking sessions in their dorm closet—unbeknownst to the manager on duty.  Everyone was sharing their funny stories from back home, partly to cure themselves of the strong homesickness that they were all feeling—except for Choong Jae. 

After a few more bottles of soju though, he finally opened up to the group, and revealed that he decided to become an entertainer to find his estranged mother. 

Everyone fell silent, not knowing what to say.  After all, it was already difficult to find the appropriate words for his situation while sober, now that they were all in a drunken state, it was impossible.

Suddenly though, Eric stood up and banged is palm against the wall, successfully getting them all out of their drunken stupor, and declared with a tone of arrogance while pointing at Hye Sung, “Don’t worry Choong Jae.  From now on, Pilkyo will be your omma.”

Amidst the groans and intoxicated mumblings from the rest of the members, Hye Sung turned to Eric to ask “Wait, why me?  Why can’t it be you?”

He massaged his temples to keep his mind clear for Eric's response, but the older guy merely wobbled his way back to his previous squatting form, before breaking into a fit of giggles. Confused and heavily buzzed, Hye Sung decided to shrug off Eric's last statement and call him a ‘crazy drunk’ when, suddenly, Eric leaned closer to him, fluttered his eyelids in the most awkward manner, and, with a grin plastered on his face, said,

“Because I’ll be his father.”

A/N: I just realized this series will take a looooong time to finish if I start from the very beginning!lol

Anyway, because the relationships are still being established, the time frame for each chapter are relatively closer to each other. However, expect that there will be huge time skips in later chapters.

Once again, a huge thank you to all who subscribed, upvoted and commented on this bit. ^^
