Before sitting around the table with everybody Sam was led around the house by Jin.
Finally Sam started to understand the height of the Li family's wealth, he guessed they were at least multi millionaires. From the outside he couldn't see how big their house was but from the inside he started to compare it with what he knew, it was at least as big as the venue in which they did the first round of the talent show and it was the biggest as contestants came from all around the country to participate, it could be imagined how big it was, the main building was surrounded by a big courtyard while they still had 2 buildings on the side.
After awhile he was led into the living room, what attracted his attention was the TV, it was attached to the wall and took at least half of it. He felt like going in a movie theater, he was bought to sit on the couch in front of it with Jin while his dad was sitting near them and browsing through his phone, the kids were playing somewhere while Annie and her mom were in the kitchen doing the last preparations for dinner.
« So tell me, when did you get the Porsche ? It's a Carrera 911 right ? »
« Yes it is, it's from 1997. I bought it when I was in Paris. »
« Really ? How much ? »
« I got it for 15000€. »
He felt bad for lying about this but Annie's dad was probably listening to their conversation and he didn't want to leave him a bad image of himself... Winning that car in a bet meant that he was a player and nobody liked players, at least he didn't.
« That's all ?! That's such a good deal ! Mind if I drive it ? »
« I don't mind, you want to do it now ? »
« Yeah let's go, dad tell mom we'll be back in less than 20 minutes. »
« Go ahead, don't speed to much on the road.»
« Don't worry I won't do anything stupid hahah.»
«Sam he's older than you but you can yell at him if he's going to fast, this kid isn't afraid of death it would seem.»
He was given the authorization to scold someone older than him by his dad but he didn't think he would do it, he himself didn't have had time to try out his new car, this was the perfect opportunity as police rarely came in this place as it wasn't in the city, add to that that it was night he probably won't have such a good opportunity so soon.
He followed Jin outside and arrived in front of the beautiful black car, it was parked right next to Jin's Nissan, both looked like sleeping beasts in the night, they were illuminated by the lamps in the courtyard only.
Sam grabbed the keys and threw them at Jin then went to sit on the passenger seat, Jin got in and turned it on.

In the end they had so much fun driving it that they came 30 minutes later... dinner was already on the table when they went inside the living room, madam Li looked at Jin and said
"Jin ! Dinner is cold now, why did you take so long ?"
"Hahah it's fine it's fine we can it eat cold, have you all eaten ?"
"No, we were waiting for you."
Sam felt guilty for making them all wait, after all it wasn't only Jin that was late, he was also in fault, they were inviting him to dinner but he arrived late because he went to have fun with his car.
"I'm sorry madam Li, It's also my fault, we shouldn't have made you wait."
Suddenly madam Li's voice wasn't as harsh as earlier and she said
"Don't worry Sam, it's not your fault. I know Jin and he must have forced you to stay longer ! by the way you don't have to call me madam Li, mama Li or aunt Li is good. Em is already used to calling me mama Li hahah !"
"Ah sure, I'll call you aunt Li then."
Jin didn't seem to mind his mom forcing the fault on him and was laughing, he grabbed Sam by the shoulder once again and made him sit on the table next to Em, he sat on the other side. The only person missing was Annie, looking at Sam that was looking around the table curiously aunt Li called
"Annie are you done soon ? We can start eating when Annie bring the main dish."
This surprised Sam, the table was already packed with all kind of food ! What was the main dish if all those were only side dishes ?
Everything looked delicious though, Sam was already feeling hungry after eating hours ago on the road and wanted to dive in, he had already seen a few things that seemed to be delicious and knew what he would try first.
Finally Annie came into the living room wearing an apron on top of her clothes and holding a hot pot, Sam couldn't take his eyes off of her, she looked even more beautiful than usually as she now had the vibe of a caring big sister more than a teenage girl.
While he was staring at her both her parents saw him, in fact nobody around the table missed it, it was just that the kids saw him looking at her but thought that he was like them : looking at he food because he was too hungry.
Jin was had a crafty smile on his face like he was preparing something while looking at Sam
"Ann is it heavy ? Yo Sam you're the nearest to here you should take it from her."
Of course it couldn't be that heavy so that was his plan to embarrass both of them but Sam didn't realize and really stood up to take it from her
"I'll take it, you should take off the apron and also take a sit."
"Thanks."
He didn't realize it but he was blushing a bit, it had been so long he didn't speak with her face to face that he wasn't sure how to act.
He put the pot in the middle of the table while everybody finally took their sit. Both of them were embarrassed while only Jin felt like this was funny, he kept holding back his laugh until aunt Li have him an elbow hit, of course she understood what he was doing.
"Let's dig in, bon appétit (author note : enjoy your meal) everybody."
While they were eating Em and Rika didn't stop speaking and laughing, on the adults side it was more calm until Jin asked
"Sam how was your trip ?"
He didn't like silence so he was the first one to ask it even though everybody was curious.
"It was great, I made a friend there while I was singing in the street. She's a clothes designer."
"Oh really ? How did you become friends ?"
It was dad Li that asked, he also seemed to be curious about Sam's trip.
"She saw me while I was playing in the streets
and asked me to be her model for a contest in her school, the clothes I wore during the semi finals and the finals both were done by her."
"Ohhhh I have seen the clothes ! They looked so cool ! You looked awesome..."
Annie exclaimed, her voice became softer when she said the last part of the sentence and she blushed, she didn't want to say it out loud but it came out on his own.
« I saw them too, you looked very handsome in them Sam ! »
She was saved by her mom's intervention, and looked at Sam discretely, he wasn't looking at her but kept speaking with her dad and she felt relieved.
In fact he had heard her but didn't know how to react so he pretended not to, if they were alone he wouldn't have the same reaction but both her parents were present he couldn't flirt openly with their daughter...
