Enemies - Zhong Chenle

"Chenle, I know you are busy but can you lend me a hand and open the door?"

Jaerin called out from the kitchen, hands busy stirring the last plate of dish and Chenle replied an 'okay', already by the door as he let the visitors enter.

"I smell food!"

Jaehyun and Yeoni said at the same time as the male picked up the little girl, pinching her cheeks and the girl let out a giggle.

"Uncle Chenle, did Auntie Jaerin make pizza?"

Chulsoon glanced at the male who was welcoming the group of people in. Chenle nodded, picking up the boy on one arm and heading towards the kitchen for a glance.

"I'll be done in a few seconds, please bring him out of here Chenle, he's going to mess up the kitchen."

Jaerin gave him a stern look and greeted the boy in his arms with a quick peck on his temple, shooing them out of the area.

The female laid out the food on the dining table, Jae Eun coming over to help her after seeing her struggle with too many dishes to bring out.

"Food is ready! Ask your parents to grab you some, young ones."

The children happily sat around the table Chenle put out in the living room specifically for the kids to eat at, their parents scooping their food for them and placed it in front of them. The rest of the adults surrounded the dining table with their paper plates, chatting as they ate.

"I heard from Jaemin you got pregnant? What gender this time?"

Jaerin leaned on the wall with Seol-hee and Minji beside her, the three getting close after Jaehyun and Jaemin introduced them to Jaerin and Jae Eun as their partners.

Seol-hee blushed when Minji snickered at her, rubbing her still not visible bump at the mention of it.

"It's been about 2 months, Jaehyun and I haven't visited the hospital for the check up, our appointment is tomorrow."

"Whether the baby is a boy or a girl, Chulsoon will be extremely excited to have a sibling."

Jaerin smiled at her and Minji agreed.

"Jaerin noona, do you know where to get more noodles? Hyunso had been complaining that Hyuni kept on stealing his food and he isn't full yet."

Seunghan interrupted their conversation after tapping on Jaerin's shoulder to gain her attention. She glanced at the twins beside him, pinching Hyuni's nose playfully and pointed at the kitchen.

"Make sure you left them with their parents first before entering the kitchen, I don't want incidents happening in this household."

Jaerin grabbed Hyuni into her arms while Seunghan picked Hyunso up, the two leaving Seol-hee and Minji to find the others as they searched for Taeil who was probably playing ping pong with Johnny, Taeyong and Haechan.

"Taeil hyung, could you watch over your twins while I grab some more noodles for Hyunso?"

Taeil exited the game as he took Hyunso from Seunghan who immediately dashed back into the kitchen. Jaerin settling Hyuni on the chair near the ping pong table where she wouldn't be hit but could still watch the game.

"Thanks Jaerin."

"No problem," Jaerin beamed as she ruffled Hyuni's hair and gave her a peck on her forehead before heading back to the living room where some of the kids were playing board games. The others were probably chilling around her small garden that was connected to a swimming pool.
