Chin-hwa walked into the house and discovered they were already taking out the food from the kitchen. Ah, where were they when he was sneaking out a beer?
Anyway, it didn't matter. As long as they didn't see him in the act.
"Oh, Hwa," Hae-won called out to him. "You're down already? Come, it's time to eat."
"Okay," Chin-hwa said and started walking towards them. Then, his mother asked,
"Where's Kang-woo? Didn't he come down with you?" Chin-hwa paused.
Ah, yes. They would ask about Kang-woo. After all, they sent him up to spend time with him.
"I'll call him out."
Chin-hwa turned around, leaving them to stare worriedly at him as he left.
Hae-won let out a worried sigh and Baek-Hyun placed his hand on his shoulder.
"Thanks," Hae-won said, appreciating the gesture of concern, but he couldn't help but worry about his child who was going through a lot once again.
Chin-hwa got to his door and stopped.
