The Siblings

Saturdays

"Mommy! Make Aron stop chasing me!" The five year old ran around with her cousin of the same age, desperately trying to get away. It wasn't even like she had done anything wrong to deserve this torture of running.

"Stob!" Jr ran out in front of his brother, holding up his hand like a police officer. Aron stopped with a pout, upset that the three year old had caught him.

"You un'er awest!" Jr took his older brother's hands into his own and made him climb into the playpen that Baekho was sitting in. The two year old smiled up at his older brother who had joined him, and offered Aron the toy block he had been holding onto.

Seoyeon and Seungcheol's Mother had wanted to catch up with her own sister, resulting in a play date for the young cousins. That was the routine for every Saturday afternoon, and the children looked forward to it since they never got to see each other in school. Even though it was only Seoyeon and Aron in preschool, the two were still very upset they weren't together because of the difference in school districts.

Seoyeon offered the three year old a high five for capturing Aron, and Jr gladly gave her one. Not before making her climb in there with the other two. His job as police officer was not going to be taken lightly.

"Not fair, Jr! I didn' do nothing!" She exclaimed, extremely upset that her own cousin would betray her like that.

"Cheolie!" Seoyeon screamed for her two month old brother, hoping he would do something to get her out of this prison. Just him tilting his little head at her would have been enough.

"Seoyeon, please don't wake him." Her Mother scolded gently, also keeping in mind that her sister's own newborn, Minhyun, had just gone to sleep. The five year old instantly stopped screaming and sat down in the playpen with a huff. She absolutely hated being trapped in one place, but she tried to make the best of it by playing with Baekho.

"I wanna pway too!" Jr huffed, now regretting his decision of throwing them all in prison.

"Only if you let us out." Aron bargained, and Jr stopped to think. His duty told him they should stay in there for running around the house, but he didn't want to be left out of the playing. But there was still his job.

"Nope!" He stuck out his tongue at his brother and ran under the kitchen table, crawling his way between chair legs and his Mother's legs. Seeing as nothing was now stopping Aron from climbing out of the playpen, he did just that. Seoyeon was now stuck in her own world playing with Baekho and his blocks.

"Hyung! You were locked up!" The three year old exclaimed, now very upset at how his older brother didn't obey the law. At least Seoyeon had that decency.

"And?" The five year old teased, knowing it would make his brother upset that he didn't care. Jr gasped and climbed out from under the table, now running around the house to try and catch his brother once more.

"SeoSeo Noona! Help me!" Jr cried as Aron tickled him relentlessly.

"I can't, I'm locked up." She answered mindlessly, not even batting an eyelash at her cousin's demise.

"I free you!" The fact that she was now free from prison didn't even phase her. She was having too much fun building a castle with Baekho. The two never had much time just to play with each other since Aron and Seoyeon were closer, so she was most definitely going to take advantage of her time in prison.

"I'm good." She responded, completely unfazed by Jr's screams from the tickling.

"Aron, make sure he can breathe." Their Mother demanded since she knew the older of the two wouldn't stop for a good minute or three. Usually by that time Jr's face was beet red and he had to gasp for air.

"He's fine!" The five year old responded, and their Mother debated on getting up from her chair to save the three year old. The screams then stopped and she got up from her chair to grab the almost oxygen deprived child from the floor and have him sit on her lap as she continued to talk with her sister.

"SeoSeo, come out here and play." Aron whined.

"But Auntie won't let Baekho out, an I wanna play with him too." The five year old knew his cousin wasn't going to come out of the playpen, so he carefully climbed in and sat down with his brother and Seoyeon. Seoyeon smiled at her cousin, even happier now that she had two of them to peacefully build a castle.

The cousins never got bored of playing with each other for hours on the weekend, and Saturday would always be their favorite day of the week. Those hours spent playing with each other were definitely everyone's favorite part of their childhood.
