The next night, Youi made sure to prepare herself. She wore a nice pair of shorts and shirt after taking her warm bath.

The monthly family dinner is up, the maids busied themselves cooking dishes that is checked by her sister. It was checked mainly for her sister's pregnant wife who have sensitive taste buds.

"Everything alright?" Youi's mom checked the kitchen and helped the maids in preparing the long table.

It became a norm when Yuri got married. The woman is always busy and rarely goes back to the family house which made the patriarch decide to have at least one family dinner every month.

"Hey, mom." Youi greeted her busy mom and kissed the older woman's cheek.

"Oh hey, baby. Where's your brother?" Youi gestured upstairs and proceeded to look around the foods. She inspected the food one by one and nodded as she felt satisfied when she smelled the mouthwatering odor of the food.

After hearing her tummy grumble, Youi excused herself and jumped at the couch. She laid on the soft couch and casually played with her phone, not minding the other people around the house.

"Princess!" Youi jolted to search for her brother who's calling for her.

"Here!" Yuan then appeared and joined his sister on the couch.

"Whatcha doin'?" Yuan asked the girl.

"Playing. It's so boring. Why aren't the unnis here yet?" Youi deadpanned.

She's bored to death at this rate. She finds the tv shows to be cringey—well, except when her sister appears on it. She finds staying in her room more dreading. The silent four walls is way too plain for her. She wants to make it as colorful as a color palette but she doesn't want to make her room appear too bright.

"Oh maybe Yuri-noona is still busy?" Just after those words came out from Yuan's mouth, the Shin family appeared.

"We're here!" Yuri announced their presence and their parents appeared to greet the family.

"Just a few moments, the table is being prepared." Youi's mom excused herself and helped in the kitchen.

Meanwhile, the Shin family walked to the twins.

"Oppa!" Loe hugged Yuan.

Youi watched the younger kid walk to her timidly.

Lyandré Xyra Shin, the timid 3-year-old kid who got Yuri's introverted self and Vin's looks.

"What's up, kid?" Youi greeted the child.

"Hey, unni." Lyan climbed up the couch and sat on Youi's stomach. Soon after, the child rested her head on the youngest Choi's chest and hugged the latter.

"You're sleepy already, aren't you?" Youi asked the lying kid on her chest.

"Yeah, I just want to eat already and sleep." The 3-year-old which doesn't seem to be her age, is quite a brainer. Unlike her older sister who's intelligent, Lyan is brilliant.

The timid Shin spends her time reading, or sleeping. She rarely plays for she sees it as tiring and not as enjoyable as reading.

"You can sleep for a bit, Chan-oppa is still in his office." Youi coo-ed the child and let her sleep.

She caressed the timid Shin's naturally brown hair to help the kid sleep faster.

Only after a few minutes, the kid is now sleeping soundly on her chest.

"She's asleep?" Vin asked Youi as she eyed her daughter on her sister-in-law's chest.

"Uh-hmm." Vin chuckled to herself as she watch her timid daughter sleep peacefully while hugging Youi.

They spent nearly an hour waiting for their brother to show up, looks like the man is drowned on his paper works again.

"Sorry, I'm late!" Chan spoke as soon as he stepped on the doorway.

"Not an issue, we're used to it." Yuri teased her younger brother, earning a pout from the man.

"Noona is so bad. Let's eat now, I'm hungry." Chan threw his coat on the coffee table and rested his arm around Yuri's shoulders.

Vin then, held Loe's hand and guided the kid to the dining area.

"You alright there, princess?" Yuan asked Youi as she try to wake up the sleeping kid on her chest.

"Yeah, I can manage." She smiled and poked the kid's chubby cheek to wake her up.

"Lyan..." Youi called the kid and shook her a bit.

"Hmm?" Lyan cutely scratched her eyes and sat straight on Youi's stomach.

"We'll eat first then you can sleep again." Youi offered a heart-warming smile making the kid nod with a smile.

She helped Lyan to step on the floor and lifted the child to the dining area.

"Sit here." She let the kid sit beside her and gave the younger one some food before she put some on her plate.

"Can you eat alone?" Youi asked Lyan softly.

"Yes, unni. I can do it." Lyan answered and held the utensils with her tiny hands.

They started eating and paused mid-way to start talking. Their voices filled the table. Silly banters, teasing, laughs, and smiles kept the table alive.

There's no boring dinner whenever the family is together. The Choi siblings show their kid self which amuses the parents and Vin.

"When are you gonna get a girl, baby boy?" Yuri asked Chan sweetly. Although Chan is now a little ashamed when his sister call him that in a large crowd, he can't deny that he feels his sister's love and care whenever he hears it.

"I'm not rushing, noona. No one caught my eye yet." Chan answered in a gentle manner, not showing any signs of strict and blunt CEO as he was called when he's inside the company.

"I hear that you're one of an annoying boss." Yuri decided to tease her brother.

"W—What? Who told you that?" Chan is flustered, his face turned bright red with shyness and embarrassment.

"No need to know, is it true though?" Yuri asked again.

"Uh, can I have a time-out?" The whole table laughed at the act of the two oldest.

"It feels nice to have a dinner like this again." Their father spoke and smile sincerely at his grown up kids.

"Aw, don't cry Dad." Yuri teased the man.

"I am not." The siblings laughed when the old man wiped the tear that escaped his eye.

"Stop crying, Dad. You look ugly." The four sibling said in unison. They looked at each other before laughing loud.

"Oh my gosh, that's hilarious." Youi spoke and wiped her happy tears.

The siblings unite at least once a month. Their parents are more than happy to see their children be this close even after all the years they spent apart from each other.

"Dad is gonna cry again." With that being said, their father broke into tears—happy tears.

"Aw, come on Dad. Don't cry, we're still your babies." Yuri calmed the man down.

"That's what makes me cry, you're all grown ups but you're still babies in my eyes." Their father sniffed more and wiped his tears with the table napkin.

"Being called 'baby' by my father at the age of mid-30s is quite amusing." Yuri spoke.

"Why are you two sporting the same look? It's hard to differentiate." Their mom asked the two Choi females.

Their laughter paused when they heard a knock on the door.
