Regret

25: Yuletide

Third Person's POV

Everybody in the Shins' residence arose, bearing smiles of genuineness. Because the whole clan is there and the day of yuletide has come. As it happens a lot, Celeste and Lune from their own rooms exited at the same second matching their rhythmic steps down the stairs. Still in sync, they did quick warm-ups before creating new traces to the bathrooms. They have two bathrooms separated for the male and female. Everybody else got downstairs by the time they opened the doors.

"Merry Christmas!" these two words echoed in all corners of the house.

The other relatives fell in line in front of the comfort room doors, on the other hand the twins attempted and tried to cook the food they know to. Both of them, for an information, have only one dish with its ingredients and procedures in their minds. Their little knowledge of cooking never corroded their systems, simply not caring. That awful belief of "Cooking is a must for marriage.", yes it's awful for them, is banned in their practices.

Lune and Celeste volunteered to make their breakfast, feeling as if they sacrificed themselves like they are in the world of that movie with the live survival game. Oh well, self-challenges. These fraternal twins planned for it.

The breakfast's outcome was thought an epic fail by the creators themselves although during the process they followed the procedures as they remember them very much.

"If it turns out terrible, joesonghamnida (sorry)." Celeste confidently utters to her kindred putting the big covered bowl on the table with ease.

"Morning refreshments. Pyeonghwayo. (Peace.)" Lune with the tray of mugs carrying different drinks transferred from his hands to the table beside the big bowl. Five mugs of hot chocolate, three mugs of coffee, and three mugs of milk for senior citizens.

Dal, their pet dog from Lily staying in the living room, has his mouth on toasted bread and apple tidbits compiled in his dog bowl.

"...May this meal comfort our stomachs. Merry Christmas. Thank You for a nice day, Lord. Amen." Hyoneul lead.

With manners, they all took food from the bowl, equally. Yeon, who had her first bite of the smooth noodles before anyone else did, paused.

"Johda? (Good?)" her father, who finally joined them after a couple of years in a Brazilian corporation working, gaining everybody's attention by asking.

"Ne! (Yes!) Waa..."  Yeon answers slightly crazily due to her pronunciation.

"Meh, jeongmalijwo? (Meh, seriously?)" the twins said in unison reluctant.

"Not joking!" Yeon flashing a smile.

The rest of the family tasted the ramen, giving in a 'wow' after.

"Sugohaesseo nae ssangdungi~ (Good job my twins~)" Hyoneul cheers for her children.

"Success!" the twins fist-bumping. "Gomawoyo~ (Thank you~)" and everyone proceeded to eat.

Lune and Celeste also did and volunteer to do the dishes. Very much fine with the work for next is enjoyment anticipating to be spent.
