Mother's Day 2022

I know, I'm late. But Eh. Happy Belated Mother's Day to all mothers out there.

"This time, you're not sleeping like how you did last time," Steve frowned. "Dad, please! Set an alarm, okay?"
"I'll try," Adam sighed. "Too bad we can't visit your grandma and grandpa..."
"Oh come on, Dad!" Steve chuckled. "Let them enjoy their vacation in peace."
Adam nodded. "You're right. They haven't travelled much. Let them see the world. Where are they, you said? Tahiti?"
"Yeah," Steve nodded. "Probably getting tanned in their Hawaiian shirts."
Adam snorted. "Yeah... also, what are we gonna do for your mother?"
Steve shrugged. "I honestly don't know."
Adam gasped. "And you're talking to me as if you have everything planned out?!"
Steve grinned. "I was gonna suggest visiting Jin for ideas."
"That sounds like a good plan," Adam nodded thoughtfully. "They always come here for that, let's bother them for once."
Steve smirked. "Let's."

Jin was laying on the living room sofa, watching an episode of a series that Hwoarang had somehow talked him into watching. Well, he didn't see why he shouldn't since it was pretty interesting. No one was disturbing him too, with Jun and Amber preparing lunch in the kitchen and Kazuya and Lars being out with Lee.
All of a sudden, his phone vibrated on the coffee table. Jin frowned and sat up, pausing the series before answering the phone.
"JIN!!" He almost dropped the phone when Steve yelled like that.
"Oh god... my ear!" Jin groaned. "Steve, why are you yelling?"
The blond burst into laughter on the other end. "Wow, pretty rich coming from you, ain't it?"
Jin groaned. "Fine... what do you want?"
"We're coming over," Steve informed. "And we're almost there."
Jin gasped. "What?!"
"You heard me," Steve chuckled. "Also, I can already see the Mishima Zaibatsu from here." He suddenly let out a yelp. "Oi! Slow down, Dad! You're way past the speed limit!"
"Well, yeah!" Adam said in the background. "This is the only time that there's no one on the road, plus no police too!"
"At least slow down for my sake!" Steve retorted. "I almost hit the dashboard."
"Are you wearing your seatbelt?"
"Yes, and it's locked too. It almost strangled me!" Steve groaned and presumably went back to his phone. "Whatever... Jin, we're almost there."
And with that, he hung up. Jin groaned and looked around the house. It wasn't all that messy but Kazuya had made a mess at the shoe rack, leaving a few of his sneakers lying around. Jin sighed and staggered towards it to put them away.
That was all.
Or so he thought.
Jin gasped when he noticed the dirty cup and plate of crumbs on the coffee table. He rushed to put them away in the kitchen. Jun gave him a confused look, seeing how he was even running.
"Mom, Steve and gang are coming now," Jin informed. "I don't know why, but they're coming."
Jun chuckled. "Probably because of something important."
Jin nodded and went back to the living room to wait for the Englishmen.
And they eventually arrived.
"Hello! Anybody home?!" Someone bellowed, banging on the door.
Jin sighed and went over to open it, revealing a grinning Steve and his father. He opened the door wider and invited them in.
"What's this actually about?" Jin sighed as he sat down on the couch. He turned the tv off before Steve could comment on the series.
"Mother's Day," Steve explained. "It's this Sunday, Jin. What do we do?"
Jin gasped. He was just as clueless and unplanned about it, how the heck was he gonna help these two?
"Oh my gosh..." Jin groaned. "And I haven't prepared anything for Mom too..."
Steve frowned. "Better start, Jin. Otherwise, Auntie Jun is gonna strangle you."
Jin gulped. "She might throw me off the building with that telekinesis of hers."
"I thought that's your father's part?" Adam snorted.
Jin shook his head. "She'd throw both of us out like that."
"Hey!" Jun exclaimed from the kitchen.
Jin turned pale. "Guys, how about talking in the lounge downstairs?"
The blonds nodded and got up, following Jin downstairs to the lounge.
"Oh, we brought doughnuts," Adam chuckled and handed the box to him. "Forgot to give it to you upstairs."
"So what should we do for Mother's Day?" Steve asked. "I think we can combine our ideas since... well, it takes place in one day."
Jin frowned thoughtfully. "To be honest... I don't actually know what Mom likes."
Steve frowned. "Do you at least have any ideas?"
"Nope, not a clue," Jin sighed.
"Oh, but I do," the three men immediately turned to see Lee walking in with Kazuya and Lars.
"What are you gonna do?" Adam asked, biting into a doughnut.
Lee smirked. "What's Nina's hobby?"
"Assassinating people?" Steve shrugged. "And also coming up with high-tech gadgets."
Adam frowned, shaking his head. "She likes travelling."
Lee smirked and nodded. "Correct! I got this info from Anna. Also, what's Jun's hobby?"
"Forest-bathing?" Jin shrugged. "She also loves birds."
Kazuya smirked and stepped forward with his phone. "We found the perfect place for both."
"Where?!" Steve gasped, scooting forward slightly.
"Acadia National Park in Maine," Kazuya grinned. "Neat, right?"
"But how do we take them?" Adam frowned.
"Well, Lars was planning to bring them how they did when bringing Kazuya all the way to Kyoto from here," Lee shrugged. "But I'm not sure it's a good idea."
"It is a good idea," Lars smirked. "I stand by my decision."
"You wanna get assassinated?" Steve asked solemnly. "Lars... you think Mum and Auntie Jun would allow that?"
"Nope, she would never comply," Jin shook his head. "Lars, bad idea, Lars."
Lars snorted. "Then any ideas from you, Jin?"
Jin shrugged. "Not a clue."
They silently sat, nibbling on the doughnuts and on the other snacks found in the lounge.
"How 'bout we just bundle them up in the flight without telling them where we're going?" Kazuya said after a thought. "What do you say? Jin? Lars? Excellent?"
Lee nodded. "I think that's a good idea."
"But to execute?" Steve frowned thoughtfully.
Adam smirked. "I have a plan."
