As good as it gets

The 8-year married couple had a business gathering the previous night, and the house was a mess.

Byul-YI didn't like it whenever they threw parties at their places. Instead, the massage therapist preferred to rent a club or gather people at a restaurant.

The brown-haired female decided to take care of their pets to calm down, and Jin-Ae, their 4-year-old baby girl, followed her around the yard.

__ Mommy, the turtles wanna eat me.__ The little child, who happened to be Byul-YI's copy, giggled.

__ No, little mouse. They want a banana. Why don't you place some pieces on the grass? Careful with your hand, though. Keep it far from their mouths.__ The female taught her daughter.

Suddenly, their two cats crossed the yard in a rush and one of their 6 rescued dogs was chasing them.

Rolling her eyes, Byul-YI mumbled:

__ Who let the dogs out?

An 8-year-old girl came from the backyard and looked at the massage therapist with guilty eyes.

__ I did, mom. I'm sorry.

Byul-Yi patted one of her adopted daughters on the head and asked:

__ Didn't Yong mom and I tell you it may be dangerous to do some things without supervision?

__ Yeah... It's just, Fatty was too noisy. And Nabi started crying because she got stressed with it.__ The adorable girl explained.

Another girl, a 6-year-old, showed up with her face covered with yogurt.

Taking a deep breath, the handsome woman asked:

__ Nabi, how did you...?

The child, who was shorter than her youngest sister, shrugged and continued licking the mug.

But then she hid behind Byul-YI when they all heard Yongsun shouting:

__ Naaaabiiiii!

The 38-year-old woman came to the yard and glanced at her children and wife with a serious face.

__ I love you all. But I'm about to lose my mind. Why is everyone so naughty and messy today? Look at the house's condition.

Byul-YI exhaled and walked toward her wife with an annoyed expression.

The massage therapist held the architect by the arm and pulled her to a corner.

__ And whose fault is it, exactly?

__ Huh? Byul-ah, are you implying that it's all my responsibility?

The 32-year-old checked if their three girls were paying attention to them. But luckily, they continued taking care of the pets.

__ I asked you a hundred times not to throw that party here. Lately, you've been traveling a lot and the kids miss you. Nabi is more attached to you. So obviously, the child keeps doing shit to get your attention. And I'm not cleaning this mess. You wanted your guests here, right? Either tell them to come and organize everything or do it yourself.

Taken aback, Yongsun stared at her lover in silence for a few seconds.

The brunette had never seen her wife so upset. And that was their first real argument ever.

__ Okay, I hear you. I was just too excited to show off my perfect family to my new clients. You're right. I should spend more time with you girls. Can you forgive me?

Sulking, Byul-YI declared:

__ I don't know, Yong. Words may have a beautiful sound. But I get convinced by actions. Plus, you owe your daughters an apology. And a change of behavior.
