"Dude, that was so hella cool."

"I know, right."

"Bro, say something."

Park Yohan and Kim Kai exchanged glances as their brother, Kim Bo Hyun, didn't reply and only loaded the gun, firing more shots at the board. They were in their practice room, as always, Bo Hyun's shots were impressively accurate, leaving both brothers in awe.

As the three Mafia brothers stood side by side, each taking turns firing rounds at targets downrange, the sound of gunshots echoed through the empty space as they reloaded their weapons.

"By the way, Rosé called me. She cooked and wants us home for the day," Park Yohan said.

"Jennie called me too. I think we should leave after this match."

"Your wives called? Guess my wife even forgot she has a husband," Bo Hyun let out a bitter chuckle, continuing to shoot.

Yohan said, "Don't blame her, dude. It's all your fault that you're always busy in the mafia world and stuff and don't give her any time."

Kai nodded solemnly, adding, "Yeah, Bo Hyun, you're hardly ever home. You expect her to remember you when you're out there pulling jobs and dealing with all that mess?"

"I know, I know. But it ain't easy, you know? Balancing this life with family. Sometimes it feels like I'm living two separate lives," Bo Hyun sighed, lowering his gun.

Yohan sighed sympathetically, running his hands through Bo Hyun's hair. "I know, man. It's just the life we chose. Being Mafias isn't ever easy, you know."

"I know...but I can't help feeling like she's slipping away from me," Bo Hyun said, sounding downtrodden.

"You know, you gotta make an effort to spend time with her when you can. Show her that you still care," Kai said, offering some advice.

Tony, leaning against a nearby wall, was deep in thought. "I know, I know. It's just hard, you know? One wrong move, and it could be the end for all of us. But you're right, I need to make an effort."

As they continued their target practice, the friends discussed ways to balance their dangerous lifestyle with their personal lives. They agreed that communication and quality time would be key to keeping their relationships strong despite the challenges they faced.

Yohan suggested, "Maybe we should all have a family dinner together sometime. It could be a way to show our wives that we're still connected and care about each other's lives."

Kai nodded, "That's a great idea, Vito. We're always together in this Mafia world, but we rarely get a chance to be together outside of it. It's time we show our wives that we're not just Mafia members, but also husbands and soon-to-be fathers."

Yohan agreed, "You're right. I'll talk to my Rose; she said she has done cooking, so maybe she can get ready for a get-together. It's about time we all catch up and spend some quality time together."

"Sounds good. Okay, let's go home after this," Bo Hyun said, making the other two nod. They practiced a bit more before leaving for their respective homes, looking forward to the upcoming family gathering.

"Honey, I have dinner ready. We can have a grand dinner. I am so happy," Rose exclaimed as soon as she saw her husband and the others enjoying themselves. Jennie tagged along as they went to their husbands and helped them freshen up. Jisoo, however, stood at the entrance alone.

"Yohan... where is he?"

"Oh, Unna. Don't be mad... Listen, he suddenly got something up, so he had to leave urgently. Don't worry, he'll be here soon. Just a few minutes," Yohan said, trying to reassure her.
