"He was such a little monkey. Once, we didn't see him all day and had a search party looking for him, only for them to find him napping on a kampu tree branch, oblivious to the chaos he caused," Yaa tells the story of young Pete fondly. "He loved it when he can get a view where he can just observe people passing by, always looking at people." Pete chuckles softly as he stares at the view passing them by and Yaa reaches out to pinch his ear, causing him to yelp lightly.
Two months have passed since the elderly couple was in Bangkok, and this time around, Vegas made it a point to fetch Bpuu and Yaa from the airport himself. They're here to celebrate Wenit's first birthday. Despite being coached by Pete over and over again, both of them settled on Wenit for Venice and Wegat for Vegas. Macau on the other hand, brags at how his two newly found grandparents can pronounce his name fault free.

The four walk into the yard to find a huge flaming cauldron in the middle of it. Behind it, on a slightly raised platform is Khun, in his white and gold Greek tunic. Vegas and Pete both stare dumbfounded at the familiar visual. "Hello Khun Nu, is there a party?" Grandpa breaks the silence.
Khun brings his hands in wai, before theatrically opening them up to direct the spectators attention to the flame, "WELCOME BPUU AND YAA, TO VENI(CE)LYMPICS 2.0, THE FIRST BIRTHDAY EDITION!"
At that, a line starts to form behind him. The whole gang is somehow here and Macau walks in with clapping Venice in his arms. Chay hands the baby a small paper cup and Macau nudges him to throw it into the fire. The baby gleefully throws the cup in and the fire roars into beautifully coloured flames causing everyone present to start clapping, almost robotic. Vegas cringes at the sight and he exchanges stares with Pete. The other man shrugs because he has no idea of what's going on as well. Pol and Arm come over with chairs for the special guests. The old couple fondly greets the two familiar faces and they put their hands in wai in the direction of Khun and Kinn before they take their seats.
"Thank you for joining us, Bpuu, Yaa. Today will be the day we will find out the winner of the Venice Gold Medal, finally! Because I am ready, and also because the boy can finally walk," Khun turns his gaze to Venice, "I love you but that was too slow by my standard, kid!"
"Khun Nu, he's one," Pete retorts from beside his grandma. "Pete didn't walk until he's almost two," Yaa continues. Khun shakes his head, "oh poor Pete. However, everyone here should know that Vegas started walking the first day he was born because he's the devil reincarnated." Vegas scoffs at that but it's drowned by the various muffled chuckles and snorts overheard from everyone else.
Game 1 : The Doljabi - The Korean Fortune Telling Custom because, "THE BOY NEEDS TO DECIDE ON HIS FUTURE NOW," Khun declares.Khun watched this in some Korean dramas and obviously he's determined to give it a shot with Venice. Everyone brought with them an item that they want Venice to pick for a vision of his future. The spread however is nothing like usually seen in Korea.
There are;
a whiskey glass, "made from the best crystals," Kinn announces;
a lone boxing glove, "I will train him myself," declares Porsche;
a light stick, "it's Twice's! The last time we babysat him, he was dancing to The Feels," Pol explains;
a hand grenade, "don't worry, everyone. It's just the shell," Arm reassures;
a designer brand sunglasses, "of course he's going to grow up stylish like me," Khun struts to sit down next to Grandma;
