"we're home..." jihyun whispered, standing in front of her house in the victor's village. "home sweet home."

"i miss hana already..." doyoung mumbled from next to her.

"you make me sick." she gagged at her cousin who was completely infatuated with her escort then harshly knocked on the door in front of them.

they could hear something crash inside and then lots of yelling and stomping. then the door flung open and they were greeted by jihyun's younger siblings, the twins, yeun and yejun. they wasted no time in lunging at her and wrapping their arms around her.

"yeun! yejun!" jihyun exclaimed, hugging them back. "my favourite siblings."

"we're your favourite?" yeun asked.

"yes, but don't tell the others that."

"i missed you so much!" yejun cried, nuzzling her head into jihyun's neck. "please never leave us again."

"i missed you more." she sighed, patting the twin's heads. she then pulled back and wiped their tears. "i'm not leaving for a long time and neither is doyoung."

"dodo!" yeun yelled, running over to the older boy.

"dodo, i missed you!" yejun said, following.

"why exactly are they calling me that?" doyoung hissed, narrowing his eyes at jihyun who shrugged with a smug look. he sighed then took the twin's hands, leading them into the house. "i should greet the rest of the family, yeah?"

"mama's going to be so happy to see you." yeun said as they disappeared towards the kitchen.

"mama!" jihyun shouted, rushing in the kitchen as well. she found the older woman sitting on one of the chairs while miyoung, the eldest daughter, cooked dinner.

"jihyun, my baby." her mother said, holding her arms out for a hug.

"i was so worried!" jihyun cried, falling into her arms. "please never do anything like that again."

"don't cry. i'm alright, you're alright, we all are." she replied, kissing the top of her head.

"just promise me you'll not act recklessly anymore. we need you. we can't lose you."

"ji, my health is already..."

"no! don't. don't say anything. i don't want to hear it. none of us in this room are dying anytime soon." she interrupted, glaring at her.

"sure. none of us are dying." her mother said, rubbing the back of her head.

"are you going to greet me? because if you don't, you're not getting any dinner." miyoung's voice sounded from behind jihyun.

"mimi!" she yelled, throwing her arms around her. "look at you cooking dinner for everyone because i wasn't here to do that. have you been doing all the other chores?"

"yes, i've been doing everything around here." she hummed. "but now that you're here you can take your jobs back."

"yeah. i don't think so." jihyun laughed, letting go of her so she could go back to cooking. "where's iseul?"

"she was out with friends last i checked."

"and minjun?"

"he's working."

"when is he not." she sighed, her ears perking up at the sound of the front door slamming open.

"i heard that jihyun is back!" iseul screeched from the front room. she sprinted into the kitchen and immediately crushed jihyun in a death grip. "my favourite sister!"
