Arrived at the dorms, Han went to Duri and gave his head a pat.

Duri hugged Han Moon’s leg and smiled.

“Did you eat anything yet, Duri?” said Han

“I ate the red bean jelly and chocolate milk you left for me.”

“Oh, is that all?”

“Yeah…”

He whispered into Han’s ears.

Han smiled and patted his head.

The other members were curious as to what Duri was telling him and Haru asked.

“Hey, Duri, could you tell us what you said too?”

“No, it’s a secret. Anyway, Let’s eat dinner.” Duri walked to the fridge and took out a pot. He was struggling so Junghwan who was near him was about to go help but Duri snarled at him like a cat. Duri continued his actions and placed the pot onto the stove and turned on the fire.

“It’s ginger chicken soup. I bought it!” He said happily. It’s a healthy soup, goof for energy for your next practice and recording.”

They thanked Duri.

“Ohhh, Duri. You’re so mature, cooking yourself already. How smart.” said Haru

“I’m just doing what’s normal, right Da.. Han Hyung?”

“Haha, yes it’s normal. Let’s set up the table. I’m starving.”

Han scooped rice for the others and placed them on the table and Duri gave everyone spoons. When the soup got hot, everyone got a bowl of soup and chicken. They then started eating.

“Haaa, that was delicious!” I’m so full” said Woong

They

“Right, the last time I ate this soup was a year ago with my mom,” said Siwoo

“It would’ve tasted better with sweet potatoes,” said Ren

“...” “What sweet potatoes, you hear me Duri, don’t put those potatoes in there okay?”

“Hey!, Why you judging my taste Eric!?”

They bickered back and forth for a while. Then, went to do their own things.

Han held Duri's hands. “I’m going to take a walk with Duri, I’ll come back by 9 p.m. “

Ok, return safely. Junghwan said.

Duri happily skipped forward excited to take a walk with Dalie.

“Hey, Dalie Hyung, where are we going?”

“Hmmm, do you have anywhere you want to go?”

“Hmmm, I know a place. I met this nice guy when I was doing errands.”

“Oh, right! Good job on getting the soup. You did well.”

“Duri smiled, yes yes, something like that is easy.”

“So, who is this guy?”

“He works at the ginger soup restaurant. He helped me when I spilled the soup.”

“Oh, are you okay? Did it burn you?”

“No, no. Someone bumped into me and spilled it. The nice person helped scold him for me.”

“That’s good, he must be a nice guy, huh?”

“Yes, yes Hyung, very. I think you and him would be very good friends!”

As they were talking, they arrived at the Soup restaurant.

Yangyang Soup was the name. They walked in.

Duri searched for the man and ran towards him holding Dalie’s hand.

“Dal hyung, meet Nice Guy hyung.”

“Haha, nice guy Hyung, That must be my name to you.” said the guy

Moonhan looked toward his face.

“Oh, your Zhou Lichen.”

“Nice to meet you, thank you for taking care of my brother Duri.”

“Ahh, Han Moonhan, what a world to meet you here.”

Duri was confused. “Nice Guy, you know Hyung?”

“Little Duri, my name’s Lichen. Call me Lichen Hyung.”

“...” Yes, Lichen Hyung”

Lichen patted his head freely. Moonhan was surprised to see how close the two were.

“Right, have a seat, I’ll serve up some food.”

“No, no we already ate the soup Duri brought earlier.”

“Right, right. He did come quite early to buy some soup, didn’t he.” He messed around Duri’s hair.”

Duri didn’t mind it. He liked Lichen Hyung.

“Then, have a seat. I’ll serve ice cream, my charge.”

Duri was excited so Han couldn’t decline.

The ice cream came and Lichen sat down with them.

“Is this a family business?” Asked Han

“Yeah, our restaurant change is in only 2 places.”

“Yeah, I heard. I know the other place too. I used to live at a goshiwon near that area.”

“Really, you used to live in that old goshiwon. That must’ve been hard.”

“Haha, it was okay. The people working at the restaurant were very nice.”

“Haha, can’t say no to that. My grandparents are mega kind.”

“By the way, is your nickname dal? I heard Duri call you that earlier.”

Han was a little surprised and Duri flinched.

“Umm, did I say something wrong?”

“No your fine, the name is more between us. Duri must’ve accidentally said it aloud.”

“Oh, I see. I can forget if you want.”

“It’s fine since you already know anyway and since little Duri here seems to like you a lot. I’ll tell it to ya too.”

“My very first name is Han Dalhan. It’s basically Moonhan but in Korean. It’s a name I have many harsh and precious memories with so I don’t tell it to everyone. Right now, including the person who gave it to me. You and Duri are the only two who know.”

“I see… I’ll be careful with the name.”

“Yeah, thanks”

“Yes, yes, we’re all family,” Duri said

“Haha, you like Lichen Hyung a lot, huh?” Dal said while chuckling.

“Yeah, he’s Mr. nice guy. I like him, hehe.”

Lichen smilied at the two.

“Oh my, look at the time. I need to go back to the dorms. It was 9.”

“Time passed by so fast,” said Han

“It really does”

Duri and Han got ready to leave.

“Oh Lichen, what dorm number is your group? I live near J boys so I was thinking our dorm rooms shouldn’t be too far from each other.”

“Huh, really. I live on B side of the building, Room 8.”

“That’s not too far, want to walk together? We can wait till you get off work.”

“Really, I’d love to. I wouldn’t be taking your time, would I?”

“Course not, I can call the other members about it and Duri likes the idea too, right?”

“Yep, I’d like to walk with Lichen Hyung too.”

The two waited in the kids cafe opposite the restaurant.
