When I woke up I felt rested. I frowned at first, since it was something I haven't felt for so long. I turned around and looked at the clock in the nightstand next to the bed and found out it was 11am. How did I even manage to sleep for so long?

I stretched and got up. The corridor was empty and the house in general was really quiet. When I arrived in the kitchen I found Seonghwa sitting on a chair, reading something on his phone.

《Good morning》 I said

He looked up and smiled.

《Well, good morning to you too sleeping beauty》 he teased

《I'm sorry I didn't mean to oversleep》 I replied

《I'm only joking》 he said 《I'm glad you managed to sleep》

《That bed was too comfortable for my own good》

He chuckled and got up from his seat.

《What do you want to eat?》 he asked

《I'm not hungry. If you have it, can I just have some tea?》

《Sure》

Minutes later he put the mug in front of me. He stood there, leaning on the counter, eating an apple.

《We're meeting at Wooyoung's house in less than an hour》 he said 《Would you like to come with us?》

I nodded, shyly.

《I probably own you all an explanation》

When we finished our breakfast, we both went our separate ways and washed up and got changed. Then we got in the car and headed to Wooyoung's house. When we arrived in front of the house, my mouth fell open. That wasn't an house. It was a huge villa. Seonghwa chuckled at my reaction.

《Didn't you know his family is rich?》 he said

《Yeah... but I didn't think they were THAT rich》 I replied

We got off and entered the house. Seonghwa guided me to the living room, where all the boys were already gathered. The room had three couches surrounding a small table, and there was a huge television hanging on the wall. In the corner of the room there was also a piano and a pool table.

When we entered the room and they turned to us, they all looked surprised to see me. I guess Seonghwa didn't tell them I was coming.

《Y/N!》 said San, excitement evident in his voice 《We've haven't seen you in a while》

《I know》 I replied 《And it's only my fault》

《Are you okay?》 asked Yunho, probably sensing my anxiety

《I want to tell you something》 I said 《Something about myself that I've never told anyone before》

《Are you sure you want to tell us?》 asked Yeosang, to make sure I was really okay about telling them something so important and private. I nodded in response.

When all of them were sitting on the couches, I started telling the story.

《My dad likes to spend every night in a different pub, wasting away all of our money in gambling. One day, when I was 11 years old, some people came home looking for him and destroyed our house. That's when we found out about my dad's problem. Soon after that my mom asked for a divorce and took me away with her. The fact is, that my mom didn't bring me with her because she cared about my well being, but because she wanted me to become successful and give her the luxurious life she thinks she deserves》 I said 《Since that day I slept only a couple of hours every night, because I was too focused on studying to do anything else. My mom was always next to me, and she used to slap me every time I got distracted or every time I said I was hungry or tired》
