Small smile, lazy tugs and gentle touches gave a thick serenity atmosphere inside the dim room. It was dark and quiet outside. The sun had not risen, the people were still asleep, and the city had not started the day. The two women were lost in each other's eyes. Their breath was getting slower and steadier since they came down from the high.

"People always call Paris is the city of love but for me, here... Amsterdam gives this... you know, a gentler, calmer feeling."

"Every city is the city of love if you were present. Paris will just be Paris and Amsterdam will just be Amsterdam if I were there without you."

The corner of Minji's lips pulled upward.

"Why?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

"I want to hear it."

"There's only one reason, you. Heaven is just heaven if you were not there. What's the point? My happiness can't stand alone without you."

"So should I have to go to hell, you'd follow me?"

Hanni shrugged nonchalantly. "Why not? At least we'll be burnt together."

The taller woman chuckled before reattaching their lips together. The tips of her fingertips traced her lady's body so tenderly. She was afraid that somehow her touch would break her. That was how much she treasured Hanni.

"We've come so far, Baby. I wouldn't have imagined to have this kind of happiness before I met you."

"At some point I despise whoever made us apart for so long. I was 26 when I met you. Should you have been there before that, my happiness could've started sooner."

Hanni smiled and caressed Minji's chin gently. "You wouldn't like the younger version of me. And you were so caught up with the problems you had back at that time. We probably wouldn't survive. We met just at the right time. I had made peace with myself and somehow you had, too."

"But I was a total jerk to you."

Hanni shrugged. "It would have been nice if you didn't try so hard to resist but I also was not a saint. I agreed so I didn't have to face people who were after me, remember? So basically, I wanted to shield myself from that fake commitment. I'm just happy our story didn't go south and we managed to sail to the right direction."

"Yeah, me too."

"Guys?"

The other two didn't answer the second born. They were completely absorbed with their food.

"Guys!"

"What, Artery? Meal time means 'shut up time." Venous commented while enjoying her fish.

"Have you ever wondered about the sperm donor? Our sperm donor?" He emphasized the certain word making the two stop chewing.

Venous rolled her eyes but turned her head to her brother nevertheless. "Why did you ask?"

He shrugged. "I was just wondering. That's just a random thought. Have you?"

Venus glanced at the other side of the table. Aorta was still focused on his food. He didn't seem to mind the conversation.

"I doubt you have not. You're Venous. You're curious about everything, right?"

"Why do you always have weird ideas in your brain?"

"Why did you always reply to my question with another question? Besides, out of the three of us, I am the one in charge of creativity." The youngest sighed. She'd be lying if she said she had never thought about it. However, she always shrugged it off. She didn't want to ask her parents because it was not that important and she didn't want to hurt their feelings. Her Dada and Mommy were more than enough. Their family consisted of five members. Not more, not less.
