He doesn't bite!

More guests

After changing into one of her comfortable gowns and doing her morning routine, Jiyu was left in the garden, sitting under the pergola while eating pancakes next to Laura, waiting for Hyunjin, who had left them to change—since apparently, his silk robe wouldn’t stay in place while playing with Laura.

Jiyu stopped chewing the moment Hyunjin came into view again, wearing a white tank top and grey sweatpants, with his hands stuffed in his pockets.

She had never seen him wear something like that.

"Who're you?" she muttered after swallowing her bite, and he raised his eyebrows at her while lifting Laura up to sit in her place and settling her on his lap.

"Did you lose your memories already?" he asked, cutting a small bite of the pancake and feeding it to Laura. Jiyu rolled her eyes.

"You never wear casual clothes."

"There’s plenty of stuff in my closet you haven’t seen," he said, giving Laura a sip of juice. "Yummy?" he asked sweetly, tilting his head as he smiled at the little girl.

"So yummy!" Laura exclaimed, and Hyunjin’s smile widened.

"Eat more, baby. You gotta be taller than your dad," he said casually, making Jiyu scoff.

"As a shorter person, I'm offended," she said as she poured him some coffee, and he shrugged before taking the cup from her.

"Auntie always pretty!" Laura exclaimed, and Jiyu pouted while Hyunjin smiled at Laura.

"I love you so much. Please take my heart, my soul, and whatever you want," Jiyu said seriously, making Hyunjin scoff—before he, once again, sensed someone new.

"You didn’t tell me your friends are early birds," Hyunjin said calmly as he took a sip of his coffee.

"What?" Jiyu furrowed her eyebrows.

"They're here. The audacity to walk through my gates without permission, though."

"Shut up, you always leave the gates open," Jiyu shot back, taking a sip of her coffee while glaring at him, and he just kept feeding Laura.

"You're so annoying," he said calmly.

"Better than boring."

"Oh. My. God." A loud voice made them look at its direction, only to find Jisung wearing a black and yellow plaid shirt with grey denim pants, hands over his mouth. Next to him was Minho, nonchalantly stuffing his hands in the pockets of his black sweatpants, paired with a grey oversized tee. "You got married and had a kid?!"

"The f—" Hyunjin almost cursed, but held himself back for Laura’s sake. "Excuse me?"

Jiyu grimaced, while Minho gave Jisung a smack on the back of his head, making him wince in pain.
