All the parents had miraculously found brief, precious moments alone with their partners—just enough for kisses, snuggles, and a little romance. Or so they thought. The kids, with their unmatched ability to sense "parent love time," were about to strike. And it wasn't going to be pretty.

1. Pond & Phuwin
Scene: The Attack of the Bedtime Stalling
Pond leaned in, wrapping his arms around Phuwin. "Finally, some quiet..." He pressed a kiss to Phuwin's lips, only for—
BANG! "Papa! Daddy!" Park and Hana burst into the room, looking frantic.
"We need water!" Park yelled dramatically.
"And a bedtime snack!" Hana added, hands on her hips.
Pond groaned, resting his forehead on Phuwin's shoulder. "Didn't we just put them to bed?"
Phuwin sighed. "Park, you don't even like snacks at night."
Park grinned mischievously. "Yeah, but I smelled love in the air, and that's gross."
Hana nodded seriously. "We have to stop you before it's too late."
Pond stared at them, exasperated. "Too late for what?"
"Too much kissing!" Park declared.
Phuwin threw his hands up in mock defeat. "Romance, canceled."

2. Joong & Dunk
Scene: The Pillow Ambush
Joong had just pulled Dunk in for a kiss when—THWACK! A pillow smacked Joong in the face.
"Ambush!" Haru shouted, launching another pillow straight at Dunk.
Joong blinked, stunned. "Where did that even come from?"
Haru grinned from the doorway, holding a third pillow like a weapon. "Caught you kissing!"
Dunk, laughing, raised his hands in surrender. "Okay, okay, we give up."
Joong shook his head, picking up a pillow. "Actually... I think we fight back."
Haru squealed as Joong and Dunk chased her out of the room, armed with pillows.

3. Boun & Prem
Scene: The Peek-a-Boo Sabotage
Prem snuggled into Boun's side, enjoying a rare moment of peace. "I think we deserve some cuddles."
Boun smiled, pressing a kiss to Prem's forehead. Just as their lips met—SLAM! The door flew open.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Leo yelled dramatically, eyes wide in horror.
May and Aiden peeked around the corner, giggling. "They're in love!"
Prem groaned. "Can't we have five minutes?"
"Nope," Aiden replied cheerfully. "We made a rule—no kissing allowed."
"Who made that rule?" Boun asked, amused.
"We did," May announced proudly. "It's gross."
Boun sighed, looking at Prem. "Our kids are tyrants."

4. Earth & Mix
Scene: The Strategic Knock
Mix had Earth pinned against the wall, their lips barely brushing when—KNOCK KNOCK!
"Papa? Dad?" Ethan called from the other side of the door. "Are you busy?"
Mix groaned, pulling away. "Ethan, buddy, we're... uh... talking."
"What are you talking about?" Ethan asked, his voice suspicious.
"Grown-up stuff," Earth replied, trying not to laugh.
"Can I come in?" Ethan persisted.
"No!" Mix blurted out, running a hand through his hair. "Give us ten minutes."
"Ten minutes is a long time..." Ethan muttered. "You're not kissing, are you?"
Earth chuckled. "Maybe."
"Ew," Ethan groaned through the door. "Gross. I'm telling the others!"
Mix leaned his head against Earth's shoulder, laughing. "We're doomed."

5. Gemini & Fourth
Scene: The Sudden "Emergency"
Gemini had Fourth on the couch, their legs tangled as they stole a rare moment of affection.
"You know, I really missed this," Fourth whispered, leaning in.
Just as their lips touched—BAM! Nara, Finn, and Minn burst into the room, all yelling at once.
"There's an emergency!" Nara cried.
"What emergency?" Gemini asked, still trying to recover from the shock.
Minn held up an action figure with a missing arm. "His arm fell off!"
Fourth blinked. "That's... not exactly an emergency."
"Yes, it is!" Finn insisted. "He's dying!"
Gemini sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Can't we have one moment?"
"Nope!" Minn grinned. "We gotta keep you from kissing!"
Fourth laughed. "These kids are unstoppable."

6. The Parents' Secret Escape Plan
Later that evening, all the parents regrouped in the kitchen, sharing their tales of interrupted romance.
"I swear, they have a radar for this stuff," Phuwin muttered.
"They must," Joong agreed, leaning on Dunk. "Every single time."
Mix groaned. "We can't even sneak a kiss without them breaking in."
Boun laughed. "Maybe we need to build a bunker."
"Or soundproof doors," Fourth suggested with a grin.
Pond leaned in conspiratorially. "I say we bribe them."
Joong shook his head. "Bribes won't work. These kids are pros."
Gemini grinned. "We just need to outsmart them."

7. A Temporary Solution
The next day, the parents made a pact. They locked themselves in a room—just to steal a few moments together—while the kids were "distracted" with snacks and cartoons.
For five blissful minutes, everything was quiet. No interruptions. No kids. Just peace.
Until—BANG! "WE KNOW YOU'RE KISSING!" all the kids shouted in unison from outside the door.
Pond groaned, dropping his head onto Phuwin's shoulder. "We'll never win."
Phuwin laughed softly. "But at least we tried."
Joong chuckled from the other side of the room. "They're relentless."
Dunk grinned. "And they're ours."
