SUNDAY

"Oppa, hurry up!" Yeri tugged on her brother's hand for the umpteenth time since they left for the Kang's residence.

Jin held up his free wrist. "We're thirty minutes early, you know."

"Ji Min oppa is already there, you know." Yeri emphasized, mimicking his tone and expression.

"That's because he lives there." He scrunched up his nose and pinched her cheek. She yelped, glaring while tightly gripping his hand with both of hers.

Jin laughed a smile as they entered the street where the Kangs are. They were at the second house near the Kangs when the gate across from the residence groaned. They stopped and watched a boy and a woman emerged from the gate.

"TaeTae oppa and Auntie Soo!!" The two turned to the one yelling and waving her arm up. The woman held Tae Hyung's hand as they crossed the street, meeting Jin and Yeri in front of their destination.

"Good morning, Auntie Soo and TaeTae oppa!"

"Good morning. My, you're growing fast, Yeri!" Auntie Soo smiled, "You might even surpass TaeTae here."

"No, she won't!" Tae Hyung frowned, which they chuckled at.

"Well, I'll wait for you three to enter." She said and Jin went up to the voice machine to press a button.

"Who is it?" A voice from the machine asked.

"Kang Seul Gi's guests."

"Please state your name and your companion's."

So he did.

"Wait for a moment, if you will."

Jin stepped back, his hand falling to his side as he looked at the gate. Several seconds later, there was a buzz before the small gate beside the voice machine was pulled inwards. The maid that has the name of the star shining in the morning greeted them with a bow.

"Good morning, Sun-unnie!"

She smiled. "Good morning, Yeri."

"Tae Hyung, call me at two hours before lunch, alright? Mwah!"

"Alright, eomma!"

"Why, are you leaving at lunch?"

Tae Hyung incredelously contemplated Yeri. "What? No! Eomma wants to cook lunch for us. And I'm going to help her."

"You just want to show off for buggeugom-unnie."

"Let's go," Jin tugged on Yeri up the steps before an argument could start.

"Seul Gi and Ji Min are at the kitchen." The maid said when they entered the house, she closed the door when they're all in and bowed to excuse herself.

"Early, aren't you?" The current owner of the household said, glancing at them over her shoulder from the frying pan. Ji Min was on the chair at the kitchen island, munching on an apple. He's in a grey sando shirt and dark blue pajamas.

Tae Hyung doubled over with laughter at the sight of the fourteen year old boy eating an apple with glasses. Ji Min bit down a piece of the apple and spat it to the laughing boy's face. Who was enraged at what he did, now it was Ji Min's turn to double over with laughter.

"Again with the food." Seul Gi glanced over her shoulder and sighed exasperatedly. She's clad in a dark grey sweater and maroon sleep shorts. Switching off the stove and sliding the pancake on the spatula to put it on top of a plate full of pancakes.

"Uwah! Looks good," Yeri sprinted and climbed up on a stool next to Ji Min, who helped her. Even Tae Hyung went and sat beside her.

Jin shrugged at Seul Gi when she contemplated him. He strode over to her, telling her that he'll set up the plates. She nodded and laid the plate of pancakes on the center of the island then looked for the syrups.
