We are adults

Inside the mansion

"Sebastian, Jin-joo, you are here!" Zhou beamed before rushing towards them. Giving them a hug simultaneously, "Oh dear, look how sweet you look tonight."

Patting her back, "Good evening grandma." Pulling away, Sebastian smiled, "And you too, you look gorgeous."

Squealing and blushing, Zhou shyly chuckled, "Aww, you're making this old lady timid."

"Grandma, where are your tactics?" Rolling her eyes, Jin-joo smiled at her shameless grandma.

Handing the fancy bags to her, Sebastian stated, "I got these for you and Kang-dae."

Taking them from him, Zhou squealed, "Thanks dear," Peeking into them, she gasped, "Ah, they are so beautiful." Looking at him, "Thank you Seb, you shouldn't have taken so much trouble for these."

"Like they're too much Mrs pretender?" Jin-joo chuckled and wrap her hands around his waist.

Looking around, Sebastian inquired, "Kang-dae is not home?"

"Yes, he is–"

Cutting her off, Kang-dae slide down the handrail. Looking so fresh and cool with his complete set of Dior outfit and sneakers for tonight. "What's up people? Did somebody called me? Kinda heard my name from above like an angel whispering."

Placing her both hands on her waist, Jin-joo snapped, "Of course it was an angel ready to hit your long head with a golden harp."

"Kang my dear, you better don't repeat that move next time, or else–"

"He'll have to break his head or maybe a neck and Dong-Hyun isn't gonna be responsible for that." With one hand wrap around her waist, Dong-Hyun carefully walked down the stairs with his fiancee.

Looking at the attractive and adorable persons standing beside Zhou, he smiled, "Wow, what a pleasure to see great stars tonight."

"Chung-Cha!" Jin-joo beamed and hugged her.

Faking a scowl on his face, "Really? So when did I became unknown and forgotten?" He sounded jealously."

Pulling away, Jin-joo scoffed, "So sorry for unrecognition." Embracing him into a tight hug, she snuggled and took a deep breath, "Feels like a soft sofa."

"Okay now shu away, am not your boyfriend." Pulling away, he flicked her head, "Make yourself comfortable around your man."

"Oh my, almost forgot." Intertwining her arm with his, Jin-joo smiled and introduce, "Sebastian, meet my grumpy bug bro, Dong-Hyun and his fiancee Chung-Cha. Doc, this is Sebastian my boyfriend."

Grinning from ear to ear, Dong-Hyun made his way towards him. Extending his hand, "Nice to meet you Sebastian."

Taking his hand, Sebastian smiled, "Pleasure."

"Jin-joo, it's so shocking to see you glowing like kikakim of TikTok. By the way, you never told me your boyfriend was this handsome." Flashing his brows at her, Dong-Hyun added, "Such a munchkin, right?"

"I was going to call you a pumpkin doctor."

"You've never stopped calling me that, have you?"

"No I haven't," She dramatically flicked a strand of hair behind her ear and scoffed.

Dinning room

"Believe me, you're going to love here." Sebastian remarked, ready to take a fork of pasta.

"Of course I know. Actually, I rarely come to visit in LA base on my career in south korea." He chuckled. "Kind of stressful, you know."

"There's no profession that's as easy as what we do." Taking a sip from her glass, Chung-Cha added, "We chose it from the very beginning, but if we'd know how stressful it was, trust me, no one would have done something with their degrees."

"Absolutely," Snapping her fingers in support and agreement, Jin-joo nodded, "Exactly."

Clasping her hands beneath her chin, Zhou inquired, "So, are you trying to say old people find everyday a stress by moving from one place to another?"

"Oh grandma, don't get it twisted." Dong-Hyun laughed.

"You know, I think she's right." Placing his fork down, Sebastian declared, "We are adults and growing every–"

Cutting him off, Kang-dae muttered, "Well, not all of us seated here are adults." Pointing at himself, "Am still a teenager, an adolescent as at that."

Flicking his head, Zhou rolled her eyes, "Oh please, spare us that. You don't even act according to your age."

"Most of the time, you behave too mature like we grownups." Chung-Cha snapped.

"Hey come on," Seeing Sebastian and Jin-joo in laughter, Kang-dae tried to act cool, "Not bad, at least I'd roll with the big guys."
