Sorry for keeping you waiting, I gathered myself up to do my responsibilities and update here too (having writer's block is difficult, I almost cried but I managed to get my writing interest back) so here we go!

Mingi and his mother had arrived to Jeong residences, just right at clock. When he pressed the doorbell, the door opened and showed Yunho with some choco and flour stains on his cheeks, hands and apron he wore. He might be making desserts at this point, he thought. Cute.

"Oh! Ms. Song and Min are here!" Yunho shouted as he welcome the guests. He rushly went to the kitchen to finish his business. Mingi can hear the Jeongs panicking on their own thing. Mingi and his mother laughed as they looked at each other.

"We're also that chaotic, my Min. Don't judge." His mom said between her giggles.

"I remember when I spilled a bottle of orange juice as I was about to serve it to Yunho, since I said to them to arrive early as 3pm. They arrived at 1 and we panicked!" Mingi exclaimed. His mother wheezed at the memory.

"And when your dad came home at Christmas Eve when you are 10, we puffed the flour so our kitchen became a flour stockroom, full of flour dusts." As his mother said the memory, Mingi can't help but to smile. The memory gushed through his mind, and after remembering the memory, he suddenly missed his father.

"Dad always gives his remaining time to us in a day, Mom. The way he sneaks out after his work at the palace and went to our house to eat dinner or midnight snacks, then we watched some movie series until we are tired. And then Dad sleeps a bit and going out to work in the palace again. How hardworking Dad is."

His mother hugged him, patting his back. "I know you miss him so much, and I am too. Maybe we can sneak out tomorrow to visit the tomb house without any caretakers or guards around, how is it sound?"

Sneaking out is not a good plan, but they have no other choice but to do it because of their identity. Mingi nods on his mother and smiled. "I'll ask Minho hyung for help." Mingi uttered. His mother agrees.

After seconds of preparation from the Jeongs, Yunho guided the two to the dining table. The table is not that big but not too small. Mr. Jeong decided to have that size of the table that fit for five people, the counting including Mingi and Ms. Song.

A lot of dishes has served, making Mingi's mouth water. What he really eyed the most is the choco cupcakes topped with marshmallows and drizzled melted choco. Mingi knows this is Yunho's masterpiece and he wants to try it first.

Yunho and his parents are just in time to fix themselves properly after a chaotic food escapade. As always, Mingi got starstrucked by Yunho's presence. He can pull every outfit he wears so good, like a supermodel. Well, Yunho is always presentable at any occassions, even if it's just Mingi and Ms. Song.

And Mingi loves him, a lot. Even if he's in his boxers on, I still love him.

He earned a slap from his conscious mind. Wake up, perv.

They sat around the table, Yunho beside Mingi and beside them are their parents. After they pray, they ate happily. Mrs. Jeong and Ms. Song are always the one to talk much, then Mr. Jeong talks along as well. Mingi and Yunho has other world they build, talking as if they are the only ones in the dining table.

"How's my cake?" Yunho asked. Mingi is silent, eating the cupcake. He loves it, trully. The way the marshmallow blend perfectly with the melted chocolate, and how they pop on his tongue. His mind is blank, he wants to eat those cupcakes, because it was made with Yunho's effort.
