Hi,
Thank you for your answer. I found Oxford dictionary you use is really good!!
I found the meaning of hang out sb:
hang over somebody
if something bad or unpleasant is hanging over you, you think about it and worry about it a lot because it is happening or might happenThe possibility of a court case is still hanging over her.
But what I meant is not that.
