By the time Anna and gang arrived at the bar, the brothers had already left.
"They aren't here?" Anna remarked. One of the maids were cleaning up the glasses at the bar. "Where's Lee?"
"They went to the home theatre, Milady," the maid informed.
"Oh," Anna turned to the rest. "You guys wanna join them?"
Steve handed her his now empty bowl. "So long as we get a refill."
Anna rolled her eyes and took the bowl, going over to a very large mixed nuts dispenser at the side. She filled the bowl and handed it to him before leaving the room.
"Hey, I want one too," Adam quickly said, going over to the dispenser. No one tried to stop him so he filled himself a bowl as well and followed the rest out.

Jun frowned as she strolled alongside Amber, sipping on a cup of peach oolong tea with a couple of paper bags in her arms.
"You okay?" Jun turned to Amber when she asked.
Jun sighed. "I'm not sure. That feeling I've been having... it hasn't gone yet."
Amber squeezed Jun's shoulder with her free hand. "I'm sure it's nothing, Oneesan."
"Oneesan," Jun couldn't help but chuckle. "You're me, yet you call me that. Kinda nice to have a sister, actually."
"Same," Amber sighed. "It's good to call someone family now."
The two of them sat down on a mall bench to finish their drinks before resuming their shopping spree.
"I'm not sure why I'm even worried," Jun said. "Like, there's this foreboding sense that I'm having, but there's nothing happening. I wait day by day for something to go wrong, but... there's just nothing." She groaned. "I feel scared for Anna. She and Lee deserve to be happy, I hope everything goes well for the baby."
"I'm sure her child will be born perfectly, with their beautiful features combined into being," Amber comforted. "Something tells me that it isn't that. Anna's baby is going to be fine."
"I hope so," Jun sighed. "I wish this stupid feeling would just go away, but it's staying. It's been months, Amber."
Amber wasn't sure what she should do so she hugged her instead. "I'm not sure of this feeling of yours, I'm not getting much of it. But I think, whatever it is, we can handle it on our own."
Jun nodded. "I know." She finished the last of her tea and got up. "Wanna buy some snacks before going over to Lee's?"
"Sure," Amber smiled as she got up.

Jin and Hwoarang walked into a sushi bar and sat at the rotary counter.
"It kinda feels illegal to leave Steve behind," Hwoarang remarked.
"It kinda feels illegal hanging out with you too," Jin couldn't help but say.
Hwoarang elbowed him slightly. "So mean."
"What, it's true, you used to fly at me every chance you got," Jin pointed out. "Besides, the reason I brought you here is to come up with an idea on what to do for Mom."
"What's the occasion?" Hwoarang asked.
Jin shrugged. "Nothing much, just to cheer her up. You know how she's been a little jumpy lately."
Hwoarang nodded and grabbed a plate of ebi sushi from the counter. "Yeah, I have. Why don't you just bring her out to lunch or something? Like what we're doing now?"
"Nah, she prefers home cooked meals," Jin said. "She prefers cooking them."
"Aww," Hwoarang grinned. "Care to invite me once? You know I'm real good at cheering up, right?"
Jin snorted as he helped himself to a plate of unagi sushi. "Sure. I remember how Mom nearly threw you out when you came in with a trumpet last week in the name of trying to lighten the mood."
Hwoarang turned a little red from embarrassment. "At least I tried. Unlike you."
"Fine," Jin sighed. "What should we do for her?"
"You're asking me, I'm the one that failed with that trumpet trick, remember?" Hwoarang smirked back at Jin.
Jin rolled his eyes and went on to grab another plate of sushi.
Hwoarang sighed. "Fine. How about you make her breakfast or something? It's the weekend, you can do it tomorrow."
"That's actually a really good idea," Jin couldn't help but say. "Thanks."
"Yeah, you're welcome," Hwoarang said. "Where's Steve anyway?"
"At Lee's," Jin snorted. "With Dad, Lars, the whole gang."
"Then how come you're not with them?" Hwoarang said, surprised. "How come we're not there instead of here?"
Jin shrugged. "I just wanted to talk to you in private for something. I didn't wanna bother Steve and gang since... well, his aunt is pregnant and all."
"Hey, Anna is you're aunt too," Hwoarang reminded. "Excellent is your uncle."
Jin smirked. "Yeah, I'm still not used to that. I'm not used to everything, to be honest."
Hwoarang snorted. "The only think you're used to is fighting and Jin-zoning everyone."
"Hey," Jin was mildly offended. "Okay, fine. But I'll admit, I am happier now." He sighed. "If only I can find out what's bothering Mom..."
"Kazama, even she doesn't know what's bothering her, and it's her who's having this intuition. Don't beat yourself up for something you can't fix."
"You're right," Jin said at last. "Anyway, you wanna order some Tonkatsu or something?"
"I thought you'd never ask."

Jun stayed up late that night, despite how everyone else had gone to bed.
Well, nearly everyone else.
"You okay?" Kazuya asked as he sat down beside her on the loveseat.
Jun shrugged. "I'm not sure."
Kazuya sighed and put an arm around her. "Tell me. What do you sense? What is it that you feel?"
"I feel like... I can only feel something approaching in the near future, nothing else," Jun shook her head. "Nothing else."
"How bad is it?" Kazuya asked.
"Don't know. But I can tell that all of us will fight it together, I know that much."
Kazuya smiled, taking her hand in his. "Then what is there to be worried about? You do know that once all of us are together, we will be unstoppable, right? All of us, fighting it as a family."
Jun sighed as she leaned into his warmth. "I guess you're right. But I just want us to be peaceful, without disturbance. I don't want things to change, I like where we are now."
"Well, I do too, but what's life without change?" Kazuya said. "Jun, I didn't think thinks would change before, but look at where we are now. We were a miserable wreck, you weren't even here, the Williams sisters were fighting their hearts out, and look at what change brought us. If it wasn't for the change, we wouldn't even be where we are now."
Jun squeezed his hand as she snuggled closer into his arms. "Thank you."
Kazuya smiled and pulled away. Jun looked at him in surprised as he got up, scared that he was about to leave, but then he stepped towards her and carried her bridal-style before taking her to their room. Jun was a little dazed, since it all happened so quickly, but still had a smile on her face.
