We are perfect, chapter#16;

Seonghwa walks inside their sharing mansion with a frown.

Seeing him enter, hongjoong stand and walks to him with wide eyes and worried face.

"Seonghwa, we are screwed." Seonghwa brkws frowned more.

"What do you mean, 'we are screwed'?"

"That means, that my parents had invited us for dinner."

"Oh. Isn't that a good thing?"

"A good thing?" Hongjoong repeats Seonghwa words with unsure now and turns to look at seonghwa who walks to the kitchen and place a glass below the filter and drink the water from it while sitting down on the dinning table chair.

Seonghwa shrug as he drinks some more water.

"Of couse. Your family is supporting you and after your wife, they are still ready to give someone a chance. So, I guess it's a good thing." Seonghwa states like it's the most basic thing in world.

"Right. So, your okay, with going to my parents for dinner." Hongjoong quickly added "tonight"

Splah!

Seonghwa had just spit the water in his mouth out and looks at hongjoong with wide eyes.

"You mean, tonight as in 'tonight?"

Hongjoong rolled his eyes.

"Of couse! Tonight means, tonight."

"Okay.." seonghwa breath outs and looks at hongjoong who rub his temple and also looks at seonghwa when he felt eyes on him.

"Speaking of, where are kids and baekhyung? And maids?"

"Oh, I gave off to the maids and baek is gone to the park with the kids." Seonghwa nods and looks down at his half filled glass and takes another sip when something click.

He looks back at hongjoong and ask again.

"Who are going to be there? I mean, whom whom from your family? And what time exactly are we leaving?"

"Ah, about that. It's gonna be just us and my parents, no worries. And, mhm. It will take two hours to two hours to reach my parents' mansion. So, we are gonna leave at around 6 amd oh! We are gonna take my car, to avoid suspicions."

"Oh, well okay. I guess that could work out."

"Yh.. maybe." Hogjoong sigh as he looks around once again still standing.

A silence fell upon them.

Which soon was broken by seonghwa who ask looking down at the empty glass in his hands placed on table with a small frown and pout which reminds hong about wooyoung.

"Is it really so, important to go there? Can't we just make an excuse, like you always did ."

"I think so no. My parents are super genius, they will know something is not right and, yh." Hongjoong answers unsure.

Seonghwa just nods and sigh while standing and walking to wash the used glass while whispering loud enough for Hongjoong to hear.

"So, us and your parents, huh?"

"Yh, just us and my parents."

________

Time skip:

"And this is what you meant by, 'just us and your parents!?'."

Okay, to get straight to point.

After that, both single fathers decided on going to dinner. It's not like they had another option.

But anyways, when they finally reach hong's parents' house well exactly, MANSION.

(Hong parents' Mansion.)

They found out that they weren't the only one there and were infact the last one to arrive.

"Say something, mister.kim." seonghwa says through gritted teeth maintaining his smile.

"I had no idea!" Hongjoong answers in the same way.

Here what they were wearing:

Seonghwa

Hongjoong.

Black one: san.
Skin one: yeosang.

Wooyoung.

"Hongjoong! Ah! My dear son!! There you are!" A beautiful woman in her early thirties come and hug hongjoong. Then kiss his head.

After that she turns to seonghwa and her eyes widen.

"Oh My! Your more handsome than the rumors and your pictures say!"

Both seonghwa and hongjoong were at lose of words.

"Ah.." seonghwa glance at hongjoong and turns back to probably who he think hongjoong mother as the woman called hong 'son', he bows politely and smile at her.

"Thank you, ma'am."

"Aish, so polite!" While hongjoong mother was cooing at the couple.

Hongjoong dad comes and after introduction, when it was time for kids to meet.

Both single parents face colour fades as they come to know, where were there kids?

To which hong father laugh and told them, they are already inside and have met everyone.

So, they walk inside.

And after once again the introduction.

Seonghwa come to know about Hongjoong family and also that him and mingi were cousin. He met lisa, whose mother and father were both aboard but she was here as she once again transfer here to study here once again. He also met hong's other family.

But what he didn't understand was hong's aunt, ryujin.

She was trying to insult Seonghwa in every way.

And he also couldn't help to notice, how much hongjong was uncomfortable around his minha cousin and his aunt.

So, seonghwa did what he thought was right.

He stood from the couch he was sitting, with hong's father and cousins taemin and mingi and yunho, talking while all five kids were playing in playhouse oh hong's parents house.

He excuse himself and walks to hongjoong who looked relief seeing him coming to him.

"Hey, hong. Can we talk?" Seonghwa ask.

And to his surprise, hongjoong was already dragging him outside towards the back yard.

Once they were outside, hongjoong let go of seonghwa wrist and sigh walking towards a chair placed in the back yard.

Neitherless, seonghwa follow hongjoong and sits besides him on chair.

A comfortable silence fell upon them before hongjoong break it but seonghwa was ready to cut him off.

"So, that-"

"Hey, it's okay. You don't have to tell me now." Hongjoong pass seonghwa a smile befkre both looks up at the sky or front again.

"So peaceful, right?" Seonghwa broke the silence this time.

Hongjoong smiles and nods while replying.

"Yh, and quiet also."

Another silence fell upon the two.

"You know, your so lucky." Hongjoong looks at seonghwa with a frown.

Seonghwa was looking at the front with a small sad smile.

"I never get to know my parents or..anyone. I only had jim-ah. When she died, I-" seonghwa stops and takes a deep breath befkre continuing.

"I felt like I have lost everything. I felt like giving up. But then, I look at my son. My youngie." Hongjoong watches as seonghwa smile wider thinking about his son.

"He give me a new hope. Maybe that's what jim-ah wanted all along. To give me hope. She knew she won't gonna make it long. So, she wanted to give me hope." Seonghwa looks at hongjoong.

"It's okay, if there are problems between you and your family members. Cause, problems like these determined that we trust others." With that said seonghwa stand and makes his way inside.

Leaving a confused hongjoong sitting all by himself repeating the question in his head.
