Just You | The Boyz ✓

Chapter thirty six

We spent a couple more days here in Canada as promised and also because Amy couldn't say no to a bunch of cute faces. Amy is currently playing the card game 'Happy Family'. "Confession, I have zero clues about how to play happy family." They look at her, surprised that she doesn't know how to play it. After explaining it to her, they finally started to play. The night after the incident, my uncles and aunts agreed that we should have a sleepover with my cousins and that is what we did. Hyunjae had gone out with my dad for fishing. So it's just me, Amy and the kids including the high schoolers kids too.

"Aw, Amy! you suck!"

"Shut up! I just learned how to play!"

"You still suck man!" Amy sighs and asked to play again. I smile and went out of my front porch to take a breather. I saw James pull up from his drive-thru and got out of his car. We made eye contact but soon looks away. I saw Bridget come out of the car too.

She saw me but soon turned away and walk inside the house. "Yeah, let's go and apologise to her," I put on my shoes and head towards James's house. I knock and their mother opens the door. "Penny? Is that you?" I smile and she pulls me into a tight hug and rubs my back. She pulled away and gestured me to come inside.

"It's been so long since I met you," I nod and followed her to the couch, the place is still the same. "Mom! Have you seen my- oh she is here" I smile and her mother leaves the two of us alone to talk. Bridget rolls her eyes and asked me to meet her at the swimming pool area. I followed after her and take a seat at one of the pool lounge chairs near the sides of the swimming pool. "What do you want?"

"I'm sorry. I know you are still mad at me for leaving your brother that's why you flirted with Hyunjae as revenge but-"

"I know. My brother was an asshole too so I can't blame it on you but I rather lose a brother than my own best friend." I smile and both of us hugged it out. I didn't realise the sun had gone down because we laughed and talked all afternoon. I'm glad that I had this talk with Bridget. I didn't want to lose another friend not after what happened. I walk back to the house and heard screaming and shouting from inside. The heck are they doing? I opened the door and saw the kids playing a video game with Hyunjae on the television while Amy and the girls cooked dinner.

I close the door behind me, not forgetting to lock it and walk towards Hyunjae. He smiles and pulls me in to sit beside him. "Where's Dad?"

"Oh, he went to one of your aunts' houses. He didn't want to stay in a house full of kids." I mean understandable but they push this responsibility shit to us. We didn't ask for it either. "Feels like daycare all over again," He nod and ruffles my hair before standing up and look over the two baby twins. I walk to the kitchen and smile. I inhale the food smell and sigh, "That smells good!" The girls' nod and I helped them set the table up. I don't bother remembering my cousins' names because I'm pretty sure, I'm just gonna forget everyone's name once we fly back to Korea.

The younger kids help to set the foldable table up in the living room. It was time for dinner and everyone, being good children, helping each other out. Once I see all of them are capable of doing it on their own, I decided to make milk for the twins. Hyunjae help too because he knows I won't be able to handle twins on my own. "Is it hot or just nice for you?" Hyunjae shrugs and I went over to the kids.

"Is this too hot or okay?"

"It's okay!" I smile and shake it a few times to get all the milk powder to dissolve before carrying one of them in my arms.

"Alright! Line up for spaghetti! Come on now everyone line up!" I stand to the side to watch the whole thing and they do obey Amy and did line up to get their food. Amy is gonna be a great mother one day. She saw me smiling and then turns to glare at me, "Don't smile at me like that!" I look away and saw Dad's car, parked outside. I could hear him unlocking the door and was surprised to see the kids sitting down, watching tv eating their dinner. Including the high schoolers too.
