"KIDS!! time to eat!" the loud voice of their mother rang through the kitchen to the living room. footsteps were heard walking towards the dinner table, where their father was already seated at one end of the table. 

he set his phone aside and waited for his dear children to take their seats while his wife took her time to set up the food on the table. "so jeonhae, i hadn't had the time to ask how your day was today. did anything happen?" her father decided to ask the girl.

she froze noticably before composing herself, "i fainted." 

that was enough to send the family to a chaotic mess, everyone instantly stopping their actions to surround her. of course, what family wouldn't be worried when their child fainted and they weren't even informed by the school?

"when did you f-faint?" youngheum asked shakily, hoping that she wasn't out for too long. taeyong rubbed his brother's back although he was worried too. 

"during recess. the first bell, i mean. i was walking for some fresh air but i immediately blacked out and when opened by eyes, i was already in the infirmary."

"how long were you out?" this time it was taeyong who asked.

"well, the nurse said i was unconscious for more or less one hour" she simply answered.

"did you know who helped you?"

her thoughts stopped for a moment, contemplating if she should tell them that jisung helped her. at last, she decided not to. judging from the current chaos her family already created, she couldn't imagine if she announced it was a BOY that CARRIED her to the INFIRMARY when she FAINTED.

"i don't know who did, but-"

"but what?"

"aish, let me finish. i think it was jihyo and daeyoung that carried me there."

"you think?"

"yeah, i think. you have a problem with that, hyung?"

"n-no" youngheum replied, suddenly feeling intimidated by the younger.

"okay, that's enough q&a for today. why don't we all just eat dinner and discuss other things as planned, hm?" baehyung interrupted and the three children just nodded their heads. the family of five ate silently, some starting short conversations every once in a while so it won't be all silence. 

after a while, they all finished their meals and set their plates aside in the sink. the children gathered around the table, waiting for baehyung to start speak. finally, he cleared his throat and began.

"i'm sure all of you are aware about the attempted robbery of juhan bank a few days ago, especially you, kids." they all nodded and he continued. "well, after a few days of research, i was able to get the names of each member along with a few of their relatives."
