Due to the viral video, the Executive Secretary had to release a statement that all legends were now engaged and that preparations were already in progress for a hymeneal. The upcoming hymeneal even forced the twelve legends to pass over the hosting of the next Arcanus Alliance meeting back to the Hallyu Kingdom. Fortunately, the Kingdom of Hallyu was always prepared to host the said meeting, considering they were the ones who established the whole thing in the first place.

The confirmation made the whole Exoplanet enter a festive season. The media even dubbed it the "Hymeneal of Legends" or the "Legendary Hymeneal". Rumors began circulating on where and when the hymeneal was to be held or who was designing the hymeneal outfits of the hymeneal. All in all, the news of the upcoming hymeneal was a big deal for the citizens of Exoplanet. Everyone wanted to join in on the momentous occasion.

Just a week before the hymeneal, six cars were on a convoy heading in a certain direction. Those who were working in the Eri Central Office would immediately recognize that the cars belonged to the guardian legends. In fact, the twelve were heading to the Exodus Orphanage where Xiumin, Luhan, Lay, Baekhyun, Tao, and Kai grew up together; they wanted to visit before the Hymeneal.

Thankfully, there was a parking space nearby so they were able to park their cars there.

"Wow, it has been a while since we last visited. The neighborhood looks different," Baekhyun mentioned.

"The nearby park was renovated. It has better playground facilities now," Tao noticed.

"Let's go. I want to see how the orphanage is doing," Xiumin led his childhood friends to the orphanages; their respective partners walking closely behind in silence.

When they got to the gate, the old guard was able to recognize them.

"Aigoo, the favorite children are here," the friendly old guard greeted them. "Or should I address you as Your Excellences now?"

"No need for honorifics, ajeossi. You've known us since we were young. You can also treat them the same way," Luhan replied while also referring to the other legends who were with them today.

"Come in."

Exodus Orphanage was a complex with a large four-story main building, an annex building, an open front yard, and a back yard with a garden. Although it was more sophisticated now, the conditions of the orphanage were not as great as before. The orphanage director, Park Daehwan, really tried his best to ensure everyone would get their daily necessities but was having a hard time making ends meet at that time. The director had just enough to make ends meet for the children.

The front yard was filled with children. Their attention was turned to the twelve people who just entered the premises. The twelve legends did not mind the attention. They know that the children here did not know who they were as they were not able to get the appropriate education for their respective ages.

As they were walking toward the entrance, the front door suddenly opened. They were met by Jeong Yunho and Sim Changmin, the director's nephews and their elder brother figures when they were young.
