Neighbors

Neighbors: END

~4 Year Time Skip~

"Guys, stay away from the road!" Seokjin yells to where his kids can hear him.

Kihyun's twin daughters and his son all look back at him, not knowing what he was talking about until they seen their mommy giving them "the look," and they knew they better listen. Mark's daughters play calmly, Mayleen being the good big sister and helping Mingmei color in her drawing on the sidewalk with chalk. A little two year old boy, who looks just like Jackson, plops himself right beside his sisters and starts grabbing chalk to draw as well.

Mark smiles at his three little ones, knowing good and well he's done having babies. They're all done having babies. Since today was a nice summer day, they all decided to have lunch outside and let the children play whether it was with bubbles, sidewalk chalk, or even playing tag.

As Mark pours each of them a glass of strawberry lemonade, Kihyun hears the sound of a truck coming down the road and looks to make sure none of the kids are close to the road. That's when he sees an orange moving truck coming down their neighborhood road. He hums, "New neighbors?"

"I heard we were getting new neighbors, but I wasn't sure when and where," Mark frowns, watching from Kihyun's house as the moving truck parks close to his and Jackson's. The house right beside them was for sale, and they knew they had sold it a while ago, but they've never seen the new owners or anything.

"Well, time to break in the new meat," Seokjin giggles, hearing one of his twins scold their baby brother and narrows his eyes, "Jiwoo! What have I told you about being bossy? You're not the boss, quit acting like it."

"Yes, mom," she mumbles.

"And Jaejoong, whatever you're doing to pester your sister, stop it."

"Yes, mommy," he replies cutely, smiling his little dimple smile before going back to play with Changkyun, who was trying his best to show his three year old twin sisters how to draw shapes.

"Who do you think it is?" Mark asks, "Maybe someone with kids?"

"Maybe it's not a married couple, maybe they're single and ready to live a new life?" Kihyun proposes, watching as a black car pulls up into the driveway and hums, "Well, there they are."

They watch a man and a woman get out of the car, both dressed professionally and both had sunglasses on as they direct the movers where to put things. Mark purses his lips, "They don't look too kind. They look to be a snobby couple that flaunt around wine and shit."

Seokjin chuckles, "Judging by what I see, that car is this years model, those furniture pieces are antiques, and sure as Hell those outfits aren't from the local Goodwill or Walmart. Those guys, are high class people."

"Let's wave at them and see what they do," Kihyun suggests, waiting until he sees a moment and starts waving at them with a kind smile.

Mark and Seokjin follow, but the couple look at one another before turning away from them and heading inside the house. Kihyun scoffs, "Oh hell no, they're not going to turn their noses up at me!"

"Eh, let them be the asshole neighbors," Mark waves them off, "What's more assholes to add to the neighborhood?"
