The parents were finally enjoying a rare, peaceful moment alone. It had taken hours to get the kids entertained and out of the way. They thought they were in the clear—until the kids decided otherwise.

1. Pond & Phuwin
Scene: Just One Kiss... or Not
Phuwin leaned closer, wrapping his arms around Pond. "Finally, some alone time..." he whispered, pressing his lips to Pond’s.
Just as things started heating up—BANG! The door flew open.
"Papa! Daddy!" Park shouted, barreling in with Hana right behind him.
Phuwin quickly pulled away, trying to keep a straight face. "What’s going on, kids?"
"We’re bored!" Hana announced dramatically.
Pond groaned, running a hand down his face. "Didn’t we just set you up with a movie?"
Park pouted. "Yeah, but it’s boring. Let’s play instead!"
Phuwin sighed. "You guys have the worst timing."
Hana grinned mischievously. "What were you doing anyway?"
Pond smirked. "Something boring. You wouldn’t be interested."
"Like taxes?" Park asked, his face scrunching up.
"Exactly like taxes," Phuwin said, trying not to laugh. "Now go finish your movie!"
The kids sprinted off, leaving the door wide open behind them. Pond shook his head, laughing. "Romantic, isn’t it?"
Phuwin groaned. "Next time, we need a lock."

2. Joong & Dunk
Scene: Stolen Kisses Gone Wrong
Dunk pressed Joong against the wall, leaning in for a kiss when—CRASH!
Both parents froze as Haru burst through the door holding a pillow. "Are we having a pillow fight?!"
Joong groaned and leaned his forehead against Dunk’s. "We were this close."
Dunk chuckled, rubbing Joong’s back. "Haru, what happened to the TV show we put on for you?"
"I finished it! Now let’s play!" Haru grinned mischievously.
Joong sighed dramatically. "You are the ultimate romance killer."
Haru tilted her head innocently. "What’s romance?"
Joong smirked. "Something you’ll learn after you move out."
Dunk laughed. "Good luck with that."

3. Boun & Prem
Scene: A Private Moment? Not Anymore
Prem cuddled closer to Boun on the couch, nuzzling his neck. "Finally, just the two of us..."
Boun grinned, about to kiss Prem when—"EW! They’re kissing!" Leo yelled, barging in with Aiden and May in tow.
Aiden covered his eyes dramatically. "My eyes! I can’t unsee it!"
May pointed. "They’re in love, just like in the movies!"
Prem sighed, pulling away from Boun with a laugh. "You guys really need to learn to knock."
Boun smiled, clearly amused. "What’s so bad about a kiss?"
Leo smirked. "It’s gross. Kissing is for old people."
May crossed her arms. "Well, I think it’s cute!"
Boun raised an eyebrow at Prem. "Guess we have one fan."
Aiden made gagging noises. "Not me."

4. Earth & Mix
Scene: Interrupted in the Nick of Time
Mix had Earth pinned on the bed, his lips hovering close. "We’ve been waiting all day for this..."
Just as Earth leaned in—THUMP, THUMP! Ethan pounded on the door. "Dad! Papa! Are you napping?!"
Earth groaned, dropping his head onto Mix’s shoulder. "No, Ethan, we’re not napping!"
"Can I come in?" Ethan called through the door.
"No!" Mix answered a little too quickly, trying not to laugh.
"But I need help with my LEGO!" Ethan whined. "It’s an emergency!"
Earth sighed, giving Mix a knowing look. "LEGO emergencies wait for no one."
Mix chuckled. "You owe me after this."
Earth smirked. "Oh, I plan to collect."

5. Gemini & Fourth
Scene: Lovebirds Under Siege
Gemini kissed Fourth softly, pulling him closer on the couch. "It’s been too long since we had some quiet time."
Fourth smiled against his lips. "And we won’t have much longer—"
SLAM! Nara, Finn, and Minn stormed in, yelling in unison. "What are you doing?!"
Gemini groaned, leaning back with a sigh. "This is why we can’t have nice things."
Minn giggled. "Were you kissing? Ew!"
Finn grinned. "Caught in the act!"
Fourth shook his head, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Do you guys ever not interrupt?"
Nara shrugged. "Not really. But you love us anyway!"
Gemini chuckled, pulling Fourth into a side hug. "Yeah, we do. Even when you ruin everything."

Aftermath: Defeated Parents Unite
Later, all the couples gathered in the kitchen, exhausted from fending off their kids.
"Do they have a sixth sense or something?" Joong asked, rubbing his eyes.
"They just know," Phuwin replied, sipping his coffee. "The second you try to sneak a kiss, they’re there."
"I think it’s a conspiracy," Mix said, leaning against Earth. "They’re trying to make sure we never have time alone again."
"At least we got some cuddles in," Prem joked, nudging Boun.
"Let’s invest in locks," Pond suggested.
Gemini smirked. "Locks won’t stop these kids."
"Maybe earplugs?" Dunk offered with a chuckle.
"Or a vacation without them," Fourth added, grinning.
The parents all exchanged hopeful glances.
"One day," they said in unison, laughing.
