Yeoni said, "Hoseok Hyung, you can't beat me."

Hobi replied, "Just watch, kid."

Tae chimed in, "Hobi Hyung, now you have to face me too. Give up, or else Yeoni and I will team up, and then you'll definitely lose."

Hobi said, "Enough talk, you little rascals. Watch your Hyung's magic... You're out!"

Yeoni and Tae exchanged cute, mischievous smiles. They had made up their minds that they would defeat their Hyung, no matter what.

Yeoni and Tae said, "Hyung, round 2? You on one team, and the two of us on the other? Are you scared?"

While this playful battle was going on, Jimin, Yoongi, and Jungkook were watching two people intently.

Yoongi, lost in thought, wondered, "Am I dreaming? How did this little devil get so close to my little brother and play with him? Yeoni looks so happy. They both look so happy! Why can't it always be like this?"

Jimin was thinking, "Tae looks so adorable! I've loved Jungkook for years, but somehow, this stubborn guy has carved a place in my heart."

Jungkook, in his own thoughts, questioned, "Kim Taehyung, are you really as good as you seem? My heart races whenever you're near, and I'm starting to hate it. Why do you keep appearing in front of me? Why do I feel so uneasy when I see Jimin with you? Oh God, please help me."

Suddenly, Yeoni and Tae jumped up and started dancing, shouting, "We won, we won!"

Hobi, seeing the kids so happy, smiled widely for the first time. Then a question came to his mind.

Hobi asked, "Tae, Joon said today is a special day. What's going on, and why is the house decorated? Is there something special?"

Tae replied, "Oh, Hyung, I think I forgot to mention. Today is Yeonjun's birthday." Saying this, Tae went and sat next to Yeoni.

Hobi exclaimed, "Wow, Happy Birthday, big boy!"

Yeoni said, "Thanks, Hoseok Hyung."

Yoongi was puzzled today, unable to understand why Hoseok seemed so different, just like he had seen him that day at the church.

Just then, a loud voice came from the kitchen, unmistakably Jin's.

"Kim Namjoon, get out of my kitchen right now, or I swear I'll kill you! When will you stop breaking things?"

Laughter rippled through the living room. Joon came out looking like a scolded puppy. Hobi, trying to stifle his laughter, got up and put a comforting hand on Joon's shoulder, guiding him towards the balcony.

"It's okay, Joon. These things happen. After all, you are the destroyer king. Don't take it to heart."

Joon gave him a dangerous look, as if silently shouting, "Shut up before I lose my temper."

Joon and Hobi's Conversation

Hobi stood there, watching the four kids intently. His mind was flooded with questions, and Joon could see it was time for some answers.

"Hoba, what's on your mind? What are you thinking about?"

"A lot, Joon. First, tell me, where are their parents? Shouldn't they be here today, especially since it's their son's birthday?"
