The twins eyes sparkled as their grandmother walked over to them with a colorful mug in both hands

"We have to let them sit for a little while, okay?" Taehyung's Mom sweetly instructed the two "It's very hot!"

"Hot?" Arang repeated, tilted his head

"Yes" Mrs. Kim confirmed "See the steam coming from them?" She pointed towards the top of one of the mugs, where visible vapor was rising into the air

Arang and Aiden both leaned in to get a better look at the fog before nodding their heads

"That's why they call it hot chocolate" Jennie added, smiling at her mother-in-law as she placed another mug in front of her

"But you can't dwink it hot" Aera complained

"That's true" Jennie smiled "But only when it's too hot! Like right now. It's okay to drink it once it's less hot"

Aera furrowed her brow and grabbed her head "Dat's ca-foosing!"

"Confusing?" Jennie giggled "Maybe just a little"

"I can't wait to see them drink hot chocolate for the first time" Mrs. Kim commented, carrying her own mug over to the table "I bet they're going to love it!"

"Anything with sugar is good by them" Jennie smirked "I'm fully expecting them to drink the whole thing and be absolutely wired for the next few hours"

"The joys of having children" Mrs. Kim giggled, pulling out a chair and taking a seat at the table. She smiled, but abruptly stopped when she realized her grandson was reaching out towards one of the mugs

"Arang, sweetie, not yet! They're still too hot!"

The boy pouted in response "Granny, I wan it"

"I know, baby but I don't want you to burn yourself" Mrs. Kim reasoned "There might be a way we can cool it down quicker, though! Do you want to try?"

Arang rapidly nodded his head. Twittering, Mrs. Kim got up from her seat and headed over to the cabinet pulling out a bag of mini marshmallows. Both Arang and Aera began to yell for them, earning a chuckle from their mother

"More sugar?" She teased

"Might as well go all the way, right?" Mrs. Kim questioned whimsically

Jennie showed off a sideways smile and shrugged her shoulders "Yup"

Mrs. Kim opened the bag and offered it to her grandchildren "Do you two want to put your own marshmallows in?"

"Ya!" They both squealed

"Okay, let's take turns now" Mrs. Kim softly requested "Arang, do you want to be a little gentleman and let your sister go first?"

Arang didn't seem thrilled but he managed to squeak out an "Okay"

"That's so nice of you, baby!" Jennie fussed "Aera, what do you say to your brother?"

"-ank you" Aera babbled, giving Arang a quick hug

"Aw, so sweet!" Jennie chirped

Mrs. Kim handed the bag over to Aera "Just pull some out and put them in your mug. As many as you want!"

Aera nodded and reached into the bag, pulling out a small fistful of mini marshmallows and dropping them in one of the mugs "Done!"

"That's enough?" Mrs. Kim asked

"Uh huh" Aera murmured

"Alright" Mrs. Kim laughed "Your turn, Arang!"

The little boy happily accepted the plastic bag from his sister and pulled out as many of the mini marshmallows as he could, tossing them in his own mug. Some of the marshmallows tumbled out onto the floor. Aiden then repeated this action again, and attempted a third time before Jennie gently grabbed his wrist

"Baby, let's have a little bit of hot chocolate with our marshmallows" Jennie playfully requested

"Mommy, I wike mawshmallows" Arang informed her

"Yeah, they're really tasty" Jennie agreed "But if you fill your mug with them, you're not going to be able to taste any of the hot chocolate! And that's really tasty too" She managed to wrestle the bag away from her son and placed it towards the end of the table where he wouldn't be able to reach it again

"They should be cool enough to try now" Mrs. Kim murmured, touching the outside of each mug "Yes, perfect! Now they're just warm"

"Alright, you two" Jennie breathed, pulling the mugs towards the children "Make sure you hold on with both hands, okay? And take small sips"
