"Come on, don't be nervous. They don't bite."
Hanbin gently told me while we're standing right in front the double doors of their mansion. I heaved a deep sigh, trying to relax. I looked at him when he suddenly held my hand. He gave me a reassuring smile.
"I told you, my whole family likes you for me. There's nothing to be nervous about. Okay?" He gently told me once again.
"But your mother is really intimidating..." I nervously told him.
"She may be intimidating but she's actually sweet." I chuckled at what he said. Suddenly, he wrapped an arm around my shoulders. He smiled a bit. "I take after her." I made a face at him.
"Don't believe him. I actually take after Mom. He takes after Dad." I gasped slightly when Tzuyu suddenly showed up out of nowhere. She gave her brother a cold look before looking at me with a warm expression. She smiled.
"Hi."
I smiled a bit. "H-Hi."
"Why are you here?" Hanbin asked, obviously annoyed. Tzuyu ignored him and opened the double doors before going inside. Hanbin huffed.
"What a brat." He shook his head.
When we reached their dining room, I locked eyes with Hanbin's mother immediately. I smiled politely and bowed before greeting them.
"Take your seat, you two." Mr. Kim told us. Hanbin pulled a chair for me like a true gentleman. I muttered a thank you before sitting on it. Hanbin then sat beside me and across his mother. I looked at Tzuyu who's sitting across me and silently watching me and her brother.
"It's nice to see you again, Chaeyoung." Mr. Kim said that made me look at him.
"Uh.." I trailed off. "Tzuyu.. Mr. Kim.. Mrs. Kim.. I would like to thank you for what you did for me. To be honest, I really didn't expect that.. but I'm really grateful. Tzuyu.. Mr. Kim.. Mrs. Kim.. Thank you so much." I said and bowed my head a bit. Hanbin held my hand under the table.
"It's nothing.." I looked at Tzuyu who's flashing a smile. I smiled at her in return.
"That was really a big thing for me, Mr. Kim.. Mrs. Kim. Is.. there any way I can repay you?" I shyly asked them. I suddenly felt nervous when Mrs. Kim looked directly at my eyes. She's really intimidating.
"Mom.." Hanbin must've felt that I got intimidated once again.
"Chaeyoung-ssi, we're not expecting anything from you in return. We did that because we wanted you to be with your father again.. and because it is the right thing to do." Mrs. Kim sternly told me. I gulped. Hanbin held my hand tighter.
"Mom, you're making her uncomfortable." He said. Mrs. Kim glanced at him.
"Ssh.. She's not." I whispered to him.
He looked at me, sighing a bit. "It's obvious, Chae." I looked away from him and looked back at his parents.
"But, Mrs. Kim. I–"
