"Mama? Papa? You two have a child together already?!" V was almost shouting in shock and disbelief.
"I knew I wasn't the only one who misunderstood," Jiyong said, sighing softly.
However, V was too preoccupied with the unbelievable scene of his brother's happy family of three in front of him that he didn't hear Jiyong's words.
His loud voice startled Little Jun. The toddler's little face scrunched up. He began to wail in Lisa's neck.
"Mamaaaaaa! Mamaaaaaa!"
Jennie immediately took the child from Lisa and started rocking him and murmuring reassurances to him.
Lisa swept his frosty eyes at his brother. "You made him cry," he said with a tone that could freeze hell. His arm wrapped protectively around his beloved "wife and child".
"B-big bro..." V didn't know what to do. He instinctively stepped forward to Jennie and the child but his brother blocked him with a cold glare. He mumbled, "Sorry...didn't mean to scare your son. My dear nephew, please stop crying. Your uncle was just surprised earlier. I'll buy you lots of toys and treats. Please don't cry anymore, okay?"
"Kim Jun is MY SON!"
Donghwi stepped forward and tried to take Little Jun from Jennie, but his son wouldn't let go of her neck. Feeling a bit awkward after being rejected by his own son, he satisfied himself by glaring at the Manoban brothers instead. How dare they claim his Little Jun as their son and nephew?
"Ah?" V was very confused. It felt like his brain stopped working properly ever since his brother arrived with Jennie Kim.
"Oh! Is this the godson you were talking about?" Chitthip asked Lisa, breaking the confusing atmosphere with her question. She walked to Jennie and peered curiously at the toddler whose cries were subsiding.
"En". Lisa confirmed while ignoring his future brother-in-law's glare.
"Little Jun, look. This is Grandmothet Chitthip." Jennie tried to coax the child.
Little Jun sniffled and peeked at the unfamiliar lady smiling at him. She looked nice, pretty and friendly so he smiled shyly at her despite his tearful eyes.
"Oh!" Chitthip clutched her chest, feeling like Cupid shot a love arrow straight to her heart. "Oh, how adorable! Hello, Little Jun~ I'm your Grandma Chitthip~" She started cooing at the child.
Next came the two elders. They introduced themselves to the child as Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma. Surprisingly, Little Jun didn't feel scared of his new great-grandfather's loud, booming voice. In fact, he even reached out his cute little arms to the old man, wanting to be carried by him.
"Bahahaha! Good boy! Come to Great-Grandpa! What a handsome boy! What a smart boy!" Grandpa was over the moon in happiness as he carried the child in his arms.
Little Jun giggled at his Great-Grandpa, finding him funny. He played with the old man's neatly groomed grey mustache. Grinning in delight, he showed everyone his three little milky white teeth.
And just like that, everyone fell in love with Little Jun. All the grandparents fought over who was going to hold the child next. They even seemed to forget that this gathering's celebrants were supposed to be the newly engaged couple, Jennie and Lisa.
Poor Donghwi had to compete with more people now for his own child's attention.
Finally, everyone settled down in the living area. The two families exchanged presents to each other. They also gave gifts to the engaged couple.
Afterwards, Jae and Alice played with Little Jun and the two cats on the floor while the rest chatted with each other on the sofas.
"I'm a little disappointed that we have to learn about your engagement on the news instead of you telling us first," Grandma told Jennie and Lisa.
