So here I was, laughter all around me, Tuan, V and Jackson even decided to drag Felix and Tae to the stage to add more members to the 'handsomeness crew' as they called themselves. To add salt to the wound, Cai Xukun just had to walk in at that moment to demonstrate in detail how I was tripled on stage. Kai was at this point sitting down laughing loudly like a mad man. Ten was just looking at me with a smile on his handsome face. Jimin was even shedding tears. Mjungu had to even excuse himself because he was afraid of laughing at me while near me. I can't remember how many time they had replayed the song but it reached a point where I had had enough so much that I went and shut the song up and went to the kitchen.

In there, I was too angry that I don't remember what I wanted to do there. I took some tomatoes, a chopping board and a knife and started killing the tomato, literally shoving the knife to the tomato. The funny part was that they were still laughing. I remember Jackson even commenting that he is happy that I am cooking angry because he was sure there will be a feast awaiting him to appreciate his good performance, what a joke.

I don't remember how many tomatoes I killed but Jungkook came and took away the knife from me.
" Hey Lensah, calm down. Oooiiiiiii, poor tomatoes... You could have even drawn Jackson's face to it so that it makes sense.. what did the poor fruit done to you..." At that moment, Jackson came in still with the dress and wig.
" Hey BTS last born, I am also my mother's last born so mind your tongue least I turn the mockery back to you!"
" Hahaha, try your worse... By the way, you look beautiful man.. and the dancing my my mmmh, me likey likey so so much..." And then the idiot went and hi five with Jackson
" Thanks man, it was not even planned. We..."
" Hey you two, I thought I left the circus show outside there, why have you followed me to.."
" Oh, Lensah, j never so you there, duì bu qǐ, duì bu qǐ, duì bu qǐ"
" Damn, not again with the duì bu qǐ drama, seriously Jackson Wang, have you stayed that much in South Korea that you have forgotten the Chinese language, you just repeat the word duì bu qǐ all the time...?" I asked while removing different ingredients from the pantry. Then I noticed that all the boys were now coming to the kitchen," now what have you all come to do here. I thought you were entertaining yourselves at the gazebo.
" Oh, sorry siz, but without you there to look at your face, it's not fun again. By the way little Cai just told us that the performance will be aired on local brodacting television tonight so we are saving the laughter for later." V said while walking towards, " can I have a carrot please... Remember I said I love you before mocking you earlier......"
Ladies and gentlemen meet V, a BTS member who is ever smiling, carefree and handsome but too childish. I have never understood how he became friends with the ever serious Jimin. V has this trait that you can never get angry at him. When he makes a puppy face, it can melt even the rock stone ice face, and he was doing that. Apparently, apart from Kai, Jackson and Jimin sometimes, V is also one of those people who know how to soften my heart that is if he is not threatening me with Suga, damn that guy is scarey.

Trust me, he never took the carrot alone, he decided to be my taster for all the foods that I was going to cook today.
" Mum, sorry for earlier but i..... I come bearing gift" Cai said while handing me a bag. Inside there was my all time favourite snack twisted Korean donuts - Kkabaegi. The thing with this snack is that in our family, it was like a comforting food, an apology snack, a friendship snack etc... Which explained why immediately I received them and looked inside the bag. Then Kai, Tae and Jimin came and looked inside also
" Kkabaegi........." The four of us shouted. Then the three monsters came and snatched it away from me... Yes, Kai, Tae and Jimin.

Just to be on the safe side, I had to go and fight it out with the three least I miss out on any. The story behind the said snack was that when we were young, we were always fighting for them much that we were taught how to cook !them. Funny thing is that although all of us can cook them, the taste is never like the street ones and I guess that why Cai brought us. Being that he practically grew with us, he knows us that well. We also had this habit that one is never enough and two is a no-no so we were fighting that everyone of us to get three at least. It became another drama in the kitchen with us shouting in Korean about who gets who
" You people are just malicious, little Cai brought this for me.." I said while trying to hold the bag that was in Tae and Kai's hands
" Where is it written your name?" Kai said
" Yes where is your name Francisca...." Tae said while pushing Jimin's hands away from the bag
" It was bought buy my son so it is practically Lensah and mine" Jimin tried to argue out his case when he noticed that he might not get any..."
" As much as you two always brag that you took care of him, we always helped you out, right Tae?" Kai said.
" Right ,remember when little Cai could not sleep and we even had to compose a lullaby for him. I came up with the melody while you two sat there crying how bothersome the was.." Tae said
" Yes, and I played the piano..." Kai added.
" Stop lying Kai, I was the one who played the piano..." I said while giving up. I knew that now that Tae and Kai had started teaming up, Jimin and I didn't have any choice but to let them be, " Jimin let them have it, I can always cook for you..." Jimin sighed and gave up with me...

We walked back and sat at the kitchen stools. We were welcomed with eight faces that were amused with the drama.
" Woooh, now I am convinced that you guys grew up together.." Felix said while handing me a glass of water, " have this Fra, I understand that you used slot of energy out there.."
" What a waste of energy if she couldn't even snatch back the snacks that are legally hers." V said with a smack on his face
" It's not that easy trust me, and the two never win against those two ever since I have known them." Cai said. He was sitted on top of the counter.
" So this is a normal thing ha! So if you knew that, why did you give it to Lensah Infront of his brothers?" Bambam asked glaring at Cai.
" Oh, by the way, damn it, it skipped my mind, duì bu qǐ ma!" Cai said. This made me look at him angrily,
" damn, not again with that word.."
" Hahaha, Cai, avoid saying duì bu qǐ to your mother, she hates the word." Jackson told Cai who was startled by the certain laugh from Jackson.
" Don't worry," Tuan added while patting his back," Jackson has been saying that word since morning it has become redundant."
" Oh, that's why" Cai said
" So what happens next because I can see that Kai and Tae are eating the snacks alone." V asked.
" Hmph! They are selfish as always, they will come and tell us how sweet they are.." Jimin said while pouting his lips.
" Just to make us wish that we had fought even harder..." I added. Then Jimin and I put our heads on our hands that were leaning on the kitchen counter top. Cai decided to pat my hair to comfort me. The others were just looking at us with pity.

" Let it go in history that Kai and I are not as merciless to the weak as Mr and Mrs Park paint us to be..."
" Yes and although our nephew is wierd enough to buy only a few and yet he is not a visitor . He knows that this is our precious weakness." Kai said.
" Here you two, we left six for you... Stop looking as if you are mourning.." Tae handed us the bag that we greedily accepted and started devoing the kkabaegi.
" So you little evil child, how many did you eat by yourself" Kai walked to little Cai and started pulling him down the counter."
" Hmph, uncle, I am not telling." Then he escaped from him and ran out of the kitchen. Kai decided to run after him.

" So what's the story behind this kkabaegi madness" Felix asked us. Jimin and I were busy eating much that we didn't even look up from the packet least someone gets any idea of borrowing us. Tae volunteered to tell them the story about our childhood addiction that made us even be forced to learn how to cook the kkabaegi.
