Realistic or Modern Haenghada High (CLOSED)

[Pax Pardus Hale]

Yuri wanted to cry tears of joy. If Jin was with her she could survive this! ...Probably. She hoped? Slowly she climbed from the car with him and gently grabbed onto the sleeve of his shirt for support. A couple deep inhales and she was ready. "Hi everyone." She smiled to the crowd and gave them all a wave. "My friend went and opened his mouth, didn't he?" She giggled quietly and ran her free hand through her long dark hair. "I suppose I could give you one song, but my friend here is going to sing with me, okay?" It was like a whole new Yuri. Bright. Cheerful. Giggly. Unfortunately she wasn't like that anymore. "This here is Jin. We went to Haenghada together." And dated for a while, but they didn't need to know that. 


Before she started to sing she hopped up on the steps so she could look out onto the crowd. As soon as she began to sing she felt happier. It had been a while since she sang the song they wrote. It was such a painful reminder of him she tried to forget it. Fortunately for her she didn't forget it, not a single word. 

 

[Pax Pardus Hale]

Choi was beginning to connect two and two. As soon as Hoya and Jung were brought up Rosee tensed. It wasn't Hoya who did it to her, it was Jung. It was just like when Yuri's dad hit her! Avoiding the subject. trying to change the subject. 


Oh, hell no. 


Throwing down the rest of the celery she stood up and passed Hoya, taking the black heel off of her foot and hitting Jung with it. "I tried to like you, y'know? I really did! You were her old friend, you were dating her, you weren't part of the fucking mob, but you know what? At least Hoya wouldn't hit her!" Her spunk was back and she was ready to beat Jung to death with a shoe. 

 

[Colt Voltage]

It was scary how much Choi and Hoya thought alike. He let Rosee go as Choi moved to Jung and started hitting her with the shoe. "Minho, get your girl. I'll deal with this." His hand went to reach into the breast of his suit before he noticed the cameras. Shit. 


Hoya calmly walked to Jung and pat him on the shoulder, leaning in so he could talk slowly into his ear. "You have fucked with the wrong girl. No matter where you go, no matter what you do, you will not be able to hide from me and the impending death that is coming to you. It will be slow, and it will be painful." With a large smile he pulled away from him and nearly crushed his shoulder. "Run now little puppet. Run." 

 

[Sir Damien]

"What? You're crying?" He chuckled quietly before feigning his shock. "And I don't know what you're talking about." He stood tall and held the door open for her as he escorted her to the discharge station. "We have to do things we don't like in life. A song with G? It's only one song. It's not like you ever have to do a performance or anything with him. Just a single. And singles are done all the time on stage without the co-writer." After everything was done and signed he grabbed her things from the nurse, including the pills. He arched a brown and listened to the nurse explain how she needed to take it everyday at dinner. "Looks like we'll be having dinner together everyday while I'm here." He gave her a stern look. He wasn't one for people to skip their meds. He was a doctor for fucks sake. Well, in training.


"I haven't played since before graduation." He walked out of the ER and felt his eyes widen as he seen his sister beating Jung with a shoe. "Choi-Soo Young mind your behavior in public!" He scolded her from across the room, walking closer to them as he seen Hoya squeeze Jung's shoulder. "What's uh, what's going on here?" 

 

[EclipseRosee]

Rosee thanked the gods that the waiting room was empty save for them. She thanked the gods that Hoya stopped himself from getting crazy. And she thanked the gods that she was wearing sensible shoes. She took off, not really sure where she was going but she had to get away from this. Nothing in her head was making any sense and all she knew was her fight or flight response. So that's what she did. Rosee had silently hoped that they would all


just ignore it. It was so stupid of her to think her friends would let this go but still. 


Choi and Hoya both freaked out and Rosee didn't stick around to see what happened, she ran through a few halls, getting yells from doctors and other staff that she pushed through. Eventually she found herself in a empty hallway where she slid down the wall and sat on the ground. Holding her sobbing face between her hands as she caught her breath. How did she not see this side of Jin? How did she not realize he was so... self centered and angry?!

 

[ZombieBaee]

No one would really ever get it. But it was okay... this song would probably have to just be something that Yubin gave up. Lost the battle but not the war right? It was just the first thing she was proud of in a long time. And when you put Gs name on it? It was tainted. "You're right." She gave him a slight smile before reaching over and grabbing her phone quickly as he listened to the doctor about the medicine. Fuck. So many missed calls from her manager. A few threatening texts. Finally they were responding to her comments from the tv show. And the scene outside. And the hospital... 


They wouldn't listen to the files she sent. They said that's not how these things work. But that they would talk to G and try to make them realize this song wasn't worth making him look bad to Yubins fans. That was a sliver of hope. Yubin didn't care WHO the song was with. She wasn't Choi, she would work with whatever person regardless of gender. As long as the person wasn't a piece of human garbage. 


Speaking of human garbage. When they entered the waiting room her eyes landed on a Choi beating Jung with a shoe. Then Hoya stepped in and her eyes went wide. What happened? Yubin didn't really like Jung at all, he was just overly evasive and a piece of lazy shit. But this was over the top. Next to her Hyunn yelled at Choi and she jumped a little. "Aish, what the hell?" Then Rosee went running and Yubin watched her with wide eyes. "Out Hoya, speaking of running." Yubin pointed her thumb in the direction of arose and sighed. "I thought you said Yuri was working on this... not these idiots fighting to distract." Where was Yuri anyways?

 

[ZombieBaee]

They sang. Jin shook. His nerves were on edge as he looked out at the people, he was never like this before. But before he was with the others on stage, here there was just him and Yuri and her fans expectations as they recorded with their phones. It got to the point where Jin had to close his eyes for a moment and imagine himself in the cafe with his guitar. That calmed him down a lot. 


When the the song came to and end, Jin looked over at Yuri with a small smile. He couldn't believe how great it sounded, even out here on the sidewalk. "Good job." His grin spread a little as he let out a nervous laugh. It had been so long since he had even looked at the words to this song let alone heard it out loud. 

 

[KAYDEN]

Minho was thrilled that Choi was actually eating something, it may have only been celery but that was a step in the right direction. Minho himself took one of the apple packages and munched away at it as he sipped his coffee and played on his phone. It was going back and forth with articles about his trip to America and Yubins blow up last night. So that was what actually happened. It made Minho chuckle a little. This kids and their insane relationships. 


Speaking of insane. "Choi! Woah, down tiger. Come on." When Hoya stepped in Minho reached out and grabbed Choi gently by the hand pulling her away as Hyunn yelled. "Listen, I'm as confused as you all are! I was just sitting on my phone and then all hell broke lose!"

 

[Colt Voltage]

Hoya's eyes widened when he realized Rosee wasn't there anymore. "Where did she..." He noticed Yubin point in her direction and gave her a small nod of thanks. "Hyuun get Yubin and everyone to the car quick. Yuri's out there singing to distract those twats." Hoya took off down the hall and stopped a few nurses to ask about Rosee. It wasn't hard describing the red haired girl, she had angered some of the doctors of the ER. "Thank you." He gave them a small bow before taking off down the hall.


It didn't take long for him to find her. He knew Jung was garbage, he didn't think he was this bad though. "You know, my mom was in an abusive relationship before my dad. When I was little she used to tell me about it. It's not something you should talk about with a five year old, I know. She said she would have never gotten out of it if it wasn't for my dads support." Aish. He needed to make his point. "My point is, he should have never laid his hands on you. He may have called it an accident, he may say it will never happen again. But you need to leave him. You'll always be afraid of what could happen if he got angry again...but I can't force you to leave him, no one can. You have to decide on that for yourself. Just for the record though, if there wasn't cameras, I would have shot him." In the face. Scalped him. Removed all his teeth, his fingers, his toes, then burned him. There would have been no evidence to who he was at that point. 

 

[Sir Damien]

"Car. Right. Got it." Hyuun wasn't the best at these kinds of things. What was he supposed to do? Toss his hoodie over Yubin and run away with her? Hm...that wasn't a bad idea. Quickly he pulled off his hoodie and threw it on top of her. It was at least two or three sizes too big, the hood was up, and no one would ever know it was her! "Come on guys!" He grabbed Yubin's hand and ran outside, sneaking behind the crowd videotaping and taking pictures of Yuri, and opened the door to push Yubin in the car. He then slid inside and waited for the others. 


"Sorry about that. Never smuggled someone out of a hospital before." He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. "Do you know what happened in there?"

 

[Pax Pardus Hale]

"Don't scold me like you're my father you dumb baboon!" Choi practically growled at Hyuun as Minho pulled her away from Hoya and Jung. "He fucking hit Rosee and you expect me to just sit idly by? Well guess what, I can't do that!" This was giving her such a severe headache that she felt her nose start bleeding. "Ow..." She touched the blood and then grabbed a tissue off of one of the tables, holding the tissue to her nose. "Let's go..." She held onto Minho's hand weakly and walked out to the car. The bright sun hurt her eyes so she flipped her sunglasses over them, slipping into the back of the black SUV. Once in her seat she tilted her head back and let out another long sigh.


"So who's got money on the table that Hoya's going to ice that guy? Not going to have someone else do it, but he's going to do it himself." He was probably going to torture the dude, too. Hoya was kind of scary when he was angry. 

 

[Pax Pardus Hale]

Yuri couldn't contain herself. It was the first time after a performance that she didn't feel like complete crap! Was it because Jin was with her? Maybe. Was it because they sang the song together? Quite possible! She forgot that the crowd was there for a minute, her lips quickly landing on Jin's for a quick, happy kiss. A bright smile spread across her face as she held his hands. "You did amazing!" It took her a good second or two before she realized what a mistake she had made. He had just broken up with Ryn. She was trying to refrain from doing something like this, and she did it in front of about twenty five paparazzi! Oh no. No no no. She didn't want to drag Jin into the spotlight of the tabloids. Unfortunately just having him do the song with her was going to do that. And now? Now she kissed him! 


Quickly she cleared her throat before grabbing Jin's hand. "Thank you all, but it's time for us to be leaving." Quickly she walked to the black car parked a good distance from the SUV, her heart pounding wildly in her chest as they questioned who was Jin and what was he to Yuri. She wasn't going to answer that, that was something Jin and her could decide on later.

 

[Pax Pardus Hale]

Choi was nervous as all hell. This would be the first time she had seen her parents since her and Minho had broken up. She had lost so much weight that she felt almost ashamed of it. The past week Choi had been making small improvements, she had even started to gain a little of the weight back. Her face no longer looked anorexic, the bags under her eyes were going away, and she felt a whole heck of a lot healthier lately. It was thanks to Minho and her brother. Having the two of them back made her life complete again. It was just so much happened all at once and she didn't know how to react. She lost control, and the only control she had was what she ate and how much. 


The week prior to this she had left the record label and spent most of her time with Minho. She kept him from drinking, and she slowly started to eat little by little. Now she was able to eat a good meal a day, and yesterday she even had some sunflower seeds as a snack. 


Today they were having dinner with her parents. Choi begged Minho to come with her, she didn't think she could do it by herself. So there she stood, on the front step of the giant mansion, her hand holding Minho's nervously. Her free hand went through her short hair for the millionth time since she woke up, a frustrated sigh passing her lips. "Is it too late to turn back? No, no we can't, I need to give them a 24 hour grace period for a cancellation..." Gently she squeezed his hand to make sure he was still there. "Thank you for coming with me... My mom can be pretty harsh, and my dad is one of the most intimidating guys I've ever known..." He was worse than Hoya. Scarier than Hoya. And he was just a surgeon! "So um, I love you. And thanks again. And I'm sorry in advanced for anything they say or do." She gave him a small reassuring smile before opening the door and walking inside the large marble floored foyer. "Mother, father, I'm home..." 


Choi had been so paranoid about what she was going to wear when she found out about the dinner. She settled on a light blue sundress with pretty flowers on it with a pair of light blue heels. She looked okay, right? Hopefully her mom would approve...


--


Enya looked just like Choi. Tall, thin, and dark brown hair like all of her kids had. She wore a black pantsuit today. Today her and her husband had something to say to Choi. Unfortunately they didn't know that she would be bringing her boyfriend...that just made everything awkward.


When she heard her daughter's voice she smiled happily and walked out to see her daughter and the boy. This was Minho, right? Weren't they dating before? The last thing she heard they had broken up with...Huh. "Choi doll, you look amazing. I love that dress. Now who is this? G? Oh you broke up with him, right. The new flavor of the week?" She giggled quietly and gave Choi a small kiss on the cheek. "My he's a handsome one! But Choi doll you should always tell us if you're bringing a guest. Your father and I have some big news for you! But enough of that, we must wait for your brother. Where is my son?" She gently stroked Choi's now short hair.

Yuri spent the next week in Korea. She didn't know what to do. While she wanted to go back and explore the world she also wanted to stay at home with Jin. It was so peaceful, besides the fact that everywhere she went she had to either dodge the paparazzi and cameras, or spend the next hour or two signing autographs and taking pictures. Plus the fact that her and Jin kissing covered all of the tabloid magazines, that little bit she felt bad about. It was sudden and came out of nowhere, she never meant to drag Jin into the crazy life. He seemed satisfied working at Haenghada and staying out of the limelight. Plus the fact that her brother seemed to be butting in on their time together. He always wanted to hang out at the most inconvenient times!


That morning she had gotten up early to run and go get her and Jin some coffee. It was the weekend so he didn't need to go to school so she wanted to give him some time to sleep in, so she took her time getting the coffee. The shop she used to work at wasn't busy this early so she had time to catch up with some of the workers she used to be friends with. She signed some things for them, took some pictures, and just caught up. It was a nice time. Well, until she got a call from her manager. If you're not going on the tour then they want an album. And I'm being harassed about the boy. You're going to have to go on TV and do a segment, talk about the album, how the tour inspired you, and even talk about Jin and your friends. How was she supposed to write an album let alone go on TV and talk about Jin AND the album?! The stress was already eating her alive. But she liked being back home, she liked waking up to him in the mornings. It was still honestly a little weird being in the same house him and Ryn used to share, but she figured she'd eventually get over that. Yuri loved Cat though! When she was little she was never allowed animals, but Cat was just so cute and fat it didn't take long for Yuri to fall for him.


"Jin," Yuri chimed happily as she walked into the house, tossing off the black hat she wore. "I got some coffee." Yuri was as cute as ever, long black extensions, dark brown ees with long lashes, and her toned down outfits. Today she wore a white button up shirt with a black tank underneath, a black watch, and dark gray leggings. She kicked off her black heels as she got inside of the house. She seen a text on her phone from Lee and gave a small sigh. Apparently their father was back in town and wanted to meet her...she wouldn't go without Jin, and she didn't want to ask him to go. How awkward would that get? Lee and Jin hated each other...

Break was coming to an end and he was finally able to convince Choi and her parents to have dinner together. Of course for the Soo Youngs, that meant coming early and spending all day together. It was a long process, but one they hadn't had in forever. Plus, he had convinced his father to get Choi into a rehabilitation facility for her eating disorder. He was sure she wasn't going to be happy, but once she got out she'd be thanking them! Hopefully. Minho could only do so much with her. 


Hyuun had convinced Yubin to come with him to the 'dinner'. He didn't want to be alone when it came down to telling Choi the news. He didn't think that she would have brought Minho, either. All of his sisters boyfriends disliked their parents...and could he blame them? Not one bit.


Standing from the car Hyuun sighed quietly, holding the door open for Yubin. Once she was out he closed it and waved goodbye to the driver. Hyuun wasn't nervous like Choi was, he could literally do anything and his parents would still love him regardless. He didn't ask for them to treat him differently. They just did. "My family is a little weird. Just a heads up." He smiled down at her and held her hand as he walked up to the large doors, holding it open for her. "Mom, dad- oh, Choi? Minho? Didn't think you guys would beat us here." His eyes looked over his sister. Had she been eating? He didn't think that Minho would have been able to do that...maybe she didn't need to go away.


--


When Ryo heard from his son about Choi's eating disorder he had officially lost it. Was she kidding? All over some boy? He had the solution to this, though he was sure she wouldn't have liked it. He didn't care much, there was no way she was going to taint the Soo Young name. She had played around long enough, it was time for her to settle down. 


He tightened his black tie around the neck and walked out to the foyer to smile at his children...and guests. "My my my, you children should know to give us a heads up by now. Either way, welcome home." He leaned down and gave Choi a small kiss on the top of her head before moving to Hyuun and giving him a tight hug. "My boy. How's school going? And who's this fetching creature?" The older man smiled down at Yubin, giving Hyuun a firm pat on the back.

The time passed quicker than Hoya had thought it would. Between literally hunting down Jung to dealing with Lee's whiny ass about his sister, he had no time whatsoever to socialize. But when he did find Jung, let's just say no one else had the chance to find him. It was in the nondisclosure agreement that he would disappear if he ever left his services, so he could have done it regardless of what he did to Rosee. But what he did to her? It just made the pain that much worse, Hoya's anger stronger than before.


Today, however, Hoya just got word from the boss. He was to be marrying Choi in two weeks time. Something about making her settle down, bringing her back to reality, combining the families...it was bullshit! He didn't want to marry Choi! His boss's word was law though, and so no matter how much he protested the marriage he was shot down every time. There was only one person that could get him to change his mind and that was Yuri. The boss had a picture of her on his desk now like it was an acceptable thing to do. The long lost daughter asking her father for a favor? He couldn't say no. 


Hoya walked to the door of Rosee's apartment and gave a small knock. If he was going to beg Yuri he wanted her to be there too. "Rosee, it's me."

Yubin was insanely nervous as she sat in the back of the car with Hyunn... first off, meeting parents never really went well for her. Second? She was the psycho that was in the news for yelling at their son in the middle of the street! Like what sane parent would just laugh that off. Third? Even though she hadn't ever met them... Yubin wasn't the biggest fan. Choi was so obsessed with her looks because it seemed like Hyunn was the golden child in a sea of female siblings and Hyunn? Though Yubin was so proud of what he was doing to become a doctor, she knew his real love was music. "We used to live with the most dysfunctional group of humans I know. I doubt they can be that bad." She smiled at him as she stepped from the car and followed him up to the front door, her face warming slightly as his hand wrapped around hers. As they hesitated for a moment, Yubin looked down at herself with a small sigh. She tried so hard to look... girly? But that just wasn't her thing. The tight black dress reached right above her knee and would have been feminine enough, but she felt the need to pair it with an over sized jean jacket with embroidery on the back. A pair of red converse were on her feet that matched the rosebud earrings she was wearing. A gold and gemstone choker was around her neck and her dark hair was worn naturally down. She ended up looking like a rapper in a tight dress. But Choi reassured her that the outfit looked good so.. oh well. 


The break had been a mix of amazing and terrible. Being with Hyunn all this time was so great. It helped her get her shit together just a little bit more. However, she ended up giving into her producers and made the song with G. Troublemaker damn near sky rocketed her fame, but a lot of news outlets were giving her shit and calling her a sell out. A few nights ago she had given a TV interview about how much the song meant to her and she wanted it to be produced no matter the cost. It took a lot of the grief off of her... but she still felt bad for lying. Because they were all right. Yubin was a sell out. The song would give her enough money to fly out whenever she wanted... though now she wasn't sure when she would ever have the damn time.


Yubin pulled in a deep breath and put on a charming smile as Hyunn entered the house, her eyes going slightly wide as she looked around. The siblings had always said they had money but all of this? Really? It just seemed a little extreme. Despite having the money for something better, Yubin loved her apartment. Though she couldn't fault people for their difference in taste.  "Ah hello." Yubin gave her best and most respectful greeting, bowing her head slightly to the man and giving a bright smile, "Kim Yubin, it's very nice to meet you sir." She swallowed hard and looked up at the older man. 

 

[ZombieBaee]

Jin was freaking out. 


How could he have forgotten to write his family? To CALL THEM? TO TELL THEM THE WEDDING WAS OFF? He laid in his bed and looked at his phone in absolute distress. Next week should have been the wedding. But he and Ryn had gotten everything canceled, called caterers, the priest, the venue. Everything but the guests he supposed... "Shit." He groaned. They were already on the way. That text was his mother saying that she, her father and his grandparents all had caught their flight and would see him later tonight! They had been living in the States for work, so it meant a few very awkward days of his parents staying with him. And Yuri.


Jin stood up from his bed and tossed the phone against the blankets as he made his way to the bathroom, no stopping it now. Now he just had to explain in person.  The bathroom was still strange to him, the counter was pretty bare. It used to be covered in Ryn's things. Now it was just his toothbrush and a few things that Yuri had been slowly moving in. Not that Jin minded at all. Hell, part of him was giddy every time a new item appeared. It just meant that she was staying... Plus Cat seemed to like her a lot. He jumped in the shower quickly before getting out and pulling on a long sleeve black shirt and a pair of plain jeans. Downstairs he heard the door open and Yuri's voice ring out.


"Coming down." Jin smiled a little and made his way downstairs, quickly moving over to Yuri and wrapping an arm around her waist, pulling her into a quick kiss. Around their legs the stupid fat thing started to purr, wrapping around them and meowing until Jin finally pulled away and looked down at Cat, "Yeah I know. You want food." Jin chuckled and took one of the coffee's, taking a long drink before moving to fill the cats bowl. "Thank you for the coffee, how may autographs did it require?" Jin chuckled once again. It seemed like wherever Yuri tried to go it was a sea of fans.

 

[EclipseRosee]

"I I- No. No, I figured he went home. We broke up a while ago and it didn't go very well. Oh no! Don't be sorry! Jung didn't do any wrong. We're just too different. Well thank you. Yeah, I will try. I'll talk to the landlord too. See what happened at the apartment. Maybe he's still there..." Rosee paced her apartment as she spoke to Jung's mother. He hadn't gone home? Rosee figured when everything went down that Jung would have ran back to his parents in no time. But maybe that was wrong. Finally after a few minutes Rosee hung up the phone and looked over at her roommates. For now, they were all still living together. But they hated Rosee. They blamed her for Choi leaving and eventually the group fell apart... Rosee got a solo deal though. Not them. She was going to be in a musical in America... They wanted a culturally diverse female lead and well, Rosee was it! Part of her was excited but the other part didn't want to move... not from Seoul at least.


When the knock came to the door she jumped a little, still jumpy since the.... incident. "Hoya?" Rosee started to smile, but it dropped. Why was he here? It was strange....Rosee walked over to the door and pulled it open, tucking her long red hair behind her ear. "Hoya? What are you doing here?" Rosee stopped for a moment and looked back at her roommates that just stared at her silently. Well they weren't going to leave. "Fine." Rosee looked down at her outfit, shorts covered in studs, black knee highs and a crop top. She reached down and yanked on a a pair of pink shoes and stepped out, closing the door behind her as she stood extremely close to Hoya. "Uh, let's go somewhere else..."

 

[KAYDEN]

Both Minho and Choi looked so much better than before, he just looked healthier and she was slowly gaining weight. The only thing on Minho that still looked rough was the cast that was still on his arm, but that would be there for a few more weeks. Not drinking was a whole world that Minho had forgotten about and now that he was back, he realized how much he missed it. He was able to actually focus on things he liked to do, like his acting. He wasn't a pest on set anymore. Minho was also able to fully help Choi and that was the greatest feeling of all.


Personally, Minho was excited about the dinner! it sounded nice to meet her parents. He only hoped they wouldn't know much about his past. They seemed too busy to pay attention to gossip blogs and celebrity news. That's why Minho just laughed at Yubin's worries from the past week. She was so freaked out about this dinner, and if Minho wasn't? Yubin shouldn't be! 


"It's no issue babe. I'm sure they're great!" Minho smiled down at Choi with a bright grin, his good arm moving around her shoulders and pulling her into a quick one armed hug before they walked inside, his hand moving to hold hers once again. When Choi asked him about coming, it didn't even require any convincing. All it required was helping him find something to wear... most of his closet wasn't parent approved. So they had gotten him a nice respecatble yet causal suit. A navy button up and khaki slacks. His ashy brown hair was pushed back and out of his face. Respecatable! Now he just had to watch his mouth.


"Ah-Hello." As soon as Minho saw Choi's parents he quickly let go of their daughters hand and held his own out for a handshake as he bowed his head. "It's very nice to meet you both." Choi was right... they were intimidating. Behind him, he heard Yubin and Hyunn come in and a little bit of his nerves settled... he was quickly understanding Yubin.

 

[Pax Pardus Hale]

Yuri smiled brightly when she seen Jin come down the stairs. It was weird to think about the fact that a few weeks ago he was engaged to another girl, and Yuri was out drinking it up in clubs. Now she was passed out by midnight. Like Jin said, they were both coping mechanisms...she didn't want to have to cope again. "Just three. I went to the old shop that I used to work at. The hat really helps me hide from people." Yuri knelt down and ran her hand over the fat cat as he ate. "I talked to my manager and told her that I plan to stick around Korea for a while. She wants me to start working on an album. Would you like to sing in a few with me?" She glanced up at him before she straightened back up, running her hand through her hair. Her manager was pretty lenient so she didn't really care who Yuri chose to sing with her so long as she put out an album. 


"How's your morning going? Just waking up?" She walked to the living room and sat on the couch as she pulled out her phone. Another text from Lee bugging her to go to dinner with him and his dad. Man he was annoying sometimes...

 

[Pax Pardus Hale]

Choi smiled sheepishly up at her mother and father. "It's wonderful to see you two. This is Minho." She squeezed her hands tightly to help calm herself down when Minho let her go.She wasn't ready to be here. Her parents were so judgmental, so intimidating that she couldn't handle the stress they were already putting on her. Her eyes looked over Minho and found her anxious heartbeat calm down. He looked great as always. She liked his weird clothing style but she knew her parents wouldn't. Hell, Choi had to dig through her closet to be able to find something suitable. Lately she had been dressing in more black, more grungy looking clothes. Her parents would have a heart attack if they seen her in any of her new clothes. 


"Let's go to the living room?" Gently she grabbed Minho's good hand and walked him through the foyer and into the extravagant living room, sitting herself and Minho in one of the love seats. Her skin was crawling being back in this place, her foot was bouncing anxiously off of the ground, and her teeth were gnawing at her bottom lip. She ran a frustrated hand through her hair as she looked around at the living room. "So what was the big news you wanted to tell me?" She couldn't keep quiet. Big news? Regarding her? It was likely they were going to send her away, disown her, compare her to her brother, or marry her off.

Enya cooed as her son walked in, a bright smile taking over her face. "Oh you're awfully gorgeous aren't you? My son caught a winner! I hope he's treating you well. We did our best to raise him as a little gentleman." She pinched Hyuun's cheek with a bright smile. "Honey are you eating well over there? I don't want you working yourself to death." Her attention drifted to Choi as she walked to the living room. "Ah, right. Let's go, Ryo." Enya followed them to the living room and sat in a love seat, one of her hands running through her hands. "Welcome to our home, kids. Make yourselves comfortable. Ah, I'm Enya and this is Ryo." Her eyes landed on Choi, a small frown taking over her lips. "Choi honey, we've talked about the biting the lip thing. You're going to make yourself bleed." Choi had always been their anxious child, but she hated it when she did it in front of guests.


"Ryo, why don't you tell Choi the good news?" Enya honestly felt a little bad, but Ryo made the decisions concerning their family.

So far so good. His parents seemed pretty welcoming when it came to Yubin. He hand no doubt about that, but he was more or less nervous about Minho and Choi. They never really approved of things she did, and all he wanted was for them to be happy for her for once. "See, things aren't that bad are they? Even mom likes you." Hyuun chuckled quietly and wrapped his arm around Yubin's shoulders, walking with her to the living room. He motioned for her to sit on the love seat next to him and poured her a cup of tea. "Oh, news this early? I thought we would wait for later in the evening to address certain things." Hyuun shot his mother and father a questioning look. Addressing it this early? Choi was sure to freak out. 


Ryo cleared his throat and sat on the plush seat next to his wife. "Choi. Your brother has brought up some troubling news concerning you. No daughter of mine should be making the ill choices you've been making." The drinking, the sleeping around, the not eating. All of that made people think less of her, and then in turn less on the family. Ryo wouldn't be having any of that. "We sent you two to Haenghada for many reasons. One, to get Hyuun on the right path. He was to fall for Yuri and become a doctor. Unfortunately your brother couldn't keep Yuri happy so she left him. That's well enough, he's on his way to becoming a doctor. But Choi? You were supposed to fall for Hoya. We had an agreement with his boss. You were to marry him to bond our two mobs together." He let out a long sigh and shook his head. "You're ruining the Soo Young name, my daughter. As I did with your sister before you who decided to make poor decisions as you've been making, I will be having you wed Hoya next week. All the arrangements have been made. The dress may need to be altered since you decided to go and starve yourself, but the venue, catering, priest, and guest list has been made up already. You will no longer bring shame to the Soo Young name, and you will be bringing our mobs closer. You're finally being put to good use, my dear. Congratulations."

Hoya smiled gently down at Rosee as she moved out of the apartment. "Things get tense once the group split, huh?" He had heard of the group splitting once Choi left. He hadn't heard about her getting signed as a solo artist. He'd be happy for her, he could fly over whenever he wanted to see her...so long as he didn't have to get married to Choi. "Right. Well, let's go to a tea shop or something then. Get some sweets." He rubbed the back of his neck as he let his arm wrap around her shoulders, holding her close to him. It might be the last time he got to do this, so he wanted to hang on to the moment for a long time. 


Once they got to the tea shop he pulled out her chair for her until she sat down, sitting across from her. "So. I'm in a dilemma and I need your assistance." Should he address what just happened? Probably. But he could also dance around it so he didn't have to say 'I'm getting married to Choi'. "I need Yuri to convince her father to do something. More or less call off something, but she won't meet him or Lee. She keeps avoiding it saying how she wants Jin with her, but she doesn't want to bother Jin. So. I need you to convince your girl to come to dinner. I'll be bringing you of course, so bribe her that way. Or anyway that would work, I don't really care." He let out a long sigh. That felt better getting it off of his chest. "Now that that's out of the way, how are you holding up?"

The fact that Hyunn's parents seemed to be pretty welcoming to Yubin made her insanely happy. It took a giant weight off her shoulders, one that nearly made her audibly sigh. However, that weight was draped right back on as they sat in the living room. Yubin had taken a seat in one of the insanely fancy love seats, gently taking the tea from Hyunn and crossing her legs as she listened to his parents. She couldn't help but look over at Choi nervously. Hyunn had told her about the suggestion for a rehab. It was a fairly decent plan but it was sure to set her off. Choi seemed nervous enough already, wearing clothes that weren't really her style. The lip biting. Even Yubin couldn't help but cringe when Enya commented on the action. But the thing that made her cringe the most? The thing that made it feel like an elephant was sitting on her shoulders once more? The comment from Ryo about Yuri. It made Yubin's heart squeeze in her chest. She couldn't help but tune into the clear omission of her from the good part of Hyunns life. Like oh, well at least hes a doctor, even though he completely dropped the ball with Yuri.


Great. Even Hyunn's parents liked Yuri more. Story of her life she supposed.


Then, the Soo Young's said something that sent Yubin into a coughing fit for a moment before setting down the cup and looking over at Hyunn with wide eyes. This was NOT what this was supposed to be about! There was no way Hyunn knew about this right? He wouldn't let Minho and Choi walk happily into the lions den just to be chewed up and spit out. First, MOB? They were a MOB TOO? How?! How was this so common?! And second? "Hoya?!" Oh hell, Yubin didn't mean to say that out loud, but seriously. Hoya?! Yubin gently elbowed Hyunn, giving him a look that said fix this. She wasn't sure what she expected him to do but... SOMETHING!
