Jun and Kazuya returned from their honeymoon in St. Lucia. They were surprised to see Asuka and Xiaoyu lounging around their home.
Mostly Xiaoyu.
"Hi Auntie, Hi Uncle!" Xiaoyu greeted cheerfully. "How was St. Lucia?"
"What are you doing here?" Was the first thing that Jun asked.
"Staying over?" Xiaoyu said with a shrug. "Asuka's here too!"
"Okay, that makes perfect sense, but you?" Jun said, crossing her arms. "She's my niece. You?"
"Sorry, Auntie..." Xiaoyu said, sheepishly scratching her head. "But don't worry, I shared the same room with Amber."
"Then what about Asuka?" Jun asked again.
"I slept in the guest room," Asuka said with a shrug.
"Did you just leave poor Asuka alone in a room?" Jun asked in shock. "JIN! LARS! AMBER!"
"What, I'm the one that wanted my own room," Asuka said with a shrug. "Amber offered me to sleep in her room with Xiao, but I said Nah."
The other people in the house rushed and saw that they have returned.
"You guys are back!" Lars said, seeing them. "How was the honeymoon? Was it Excellent?"
"Oh no, not you too!" Kazuya said, putting a hand on his forehead. "And Jun... please chill..."
"What's actually going on?" Jin asked, confused at why his mother looked mad.
"How long has Xiao been staying here?" Jun asked.
"For about a week now," Jin said with a shrug. "Why?"
"Has she been doing anything with you?" Jun asked.
"No...?" Jin said, confused. "Well, besides the usual 'Jiiiin' and the snuggling, nothing out of the ordinary."
Jun nodded, eyeing the Chinese girl.
"Oh come on, Jun," Kazuya said, putting his arm around Jun and pulling her closer. "Let them be. Let the, enjoy their youth."
Jin snorted.
"What is it, Fringey?" Kazuya asked, seeing how Jin was attempting to hide a smirk. "What's so funny?"
"You talking about enjoying youth?" Jin said with a chuckle. "Lars, where's Lee? I wanna ask him."
Lee came out of the bathroom and joined them.
"I have a question," Jin said, seeing him come out while wiping his hands on his shirt. "Why do you always go to the bathroom right before something interesting?"
"How am I supposed to know if something interesting is coming up?" Lee asked with a shrug. "Toilet duty calls."
"Whatever..." Jin said, shaking his head. "Anyway, how was dad when he was around my age?"
"You really wanna know?" Lee asked, a disgusted expression on his face.
"Was je that bad?" Lars asked with a smirk. "Wow..."
"He was," Lee confirmed. "Oh you should've seen his ugly face..."
"Oi!" Kazuya exclaimed with a scowl.
"Yep, exactly like that," Lee said, pointing at Kazuya's face with a smirk. "See how ugly it is?"
Kazuya dropped his luggage and started chasing after Lee with his monopod.
"They're in their fifties, but still act like babies," Jun said, amused. "Anyway, what's for lunch? I'm starving!"
"Umm... I haven't started yet," Amber said sheepishly. "We were planning to order takeout..."
"Amber..." Jun said, shaking her head. "That's really unhealthy!"
"Don't worry, Junny," Lee said, patting her shoulder. "I have ordered your chefs to make us a good lunch, don't worry."
"Why are you so last minute?" Lars said, annoyed. "I already ordered something online!"
"No you didn't," Lee said, smirking. "I saw how you were ordering phone cases instead."
"Why do you see everything?" Lars asked, disappointed that his joke didn't work.
"I have eyes and ears everywhere," Lee said, exaggerating his eyes and ears. "Also, they'll be here any minute now."
"By the way, where's your wife?" Kazuya asked him with a smirk. "You guys just came back from honeymoon and you're already ditching her?"
"She went shopping," Lee said. "I said I wanted to go with her, but she refused and insisted that I stayed here. Seems like it's a surprise for me or something..."
The doorbell rang and Lee answered it. It was the chefs. They brought the food in trolleys. They helped unpack it and left.
"You're efficient, Excellent," Kazuya said with a grin. "Let's eat first."
"Go wash your hands first," Jun said, lightly smacking her husbands arm.
"Fine..." Kazuya groaned and went to wash his hands at the sink.
"With soap," Jun added.
Kazuya did and came back to eat. They were done and put the dishes away. Jun and Kazuya went over to the laundry room to dump their baggage contents into the washing machines. Jun hesitantly eyed her husband.
"What is it, Jun?" Kazuya asked, realising how she was staring at him with a mindful look. "You look like you want to tell me something, but don't think it's a good idea."
"It's just that... I wanna keep an eye on Jin and Xiao," Jun said. "Well, I know they're happy, but still..."
Kazuya started laughing at her.
"Oh, Jun..." Kazuya laughed. "Why, Jun? Why?"
"I dunno, it's just that... I worried for Jin," Jun said. "I know that Xiao is a very nice girl, but still."
"So you wanna go spying on her?"
"What? No!" Jun said, trying to cover her nervousness. "Of course not! Why would I do that?"
"Jun..."
"Is it that obvious?" Jun asked sheepishly.
"Yes..." Kazuya said with a slight smile. "Jun, there's nothing to be worried about. They're happy, just like us!"
Jun nodded and busied herself with pouring softener into the washing machine. She couldn't help but feel slightly worried for her only son. She knew that Xiaoyu was a very good girl, and she would make a very good daughter-in-law, but still...
She planned to spy on him.
And she knew just who to turn for help.

"Lee!" Jun called her brother-in-law when her husband wasn't looking. "Oi Lee!"
"What is it, Jun?" Lee asked, adjusting his coat.
"You're going to pick Anna?"
"Yeah?"
"Can I come with you?"
Lee looked a little confused, but nodded anyway.
"Sure, come on."
Jun followed Lee out to the basement where he parked his Tesla Model S. They got into the car and Jun slowly started her conversation with him.
"Lee, I need your help," Jun began.
"What is it?" Lee asked, looking over at her through the rear view mirror.
"Well... it's Jin..." Jun said hesitantly. "I'm worried about him."
"What's wrong?"
"Xiao..."
"What did she do?"
"N-Nothing!" Jun quickly said. "It's just that... I'm worried. But I don't know why..."
"You wanna spy on them, don't you...?"
"Y-Yes?" Jun said. "But not directly. I don't want to invade their privacy, I just wanna make sure they're happy."
"Come to my place tomorrow, I'll help you," Lee said. "But why, Jun? They look happy enough as it is...?"
"I don't know, Lee, but I have this feeling for some reason," Jun said. "And I've learnt to not ignore it."
Lee nodded thoughtfully and drove to Grand Market Square to pick his new wife.
Anna was slightly surprised to see Jun there too. She put her stuff in the boot and sat next to her husband in front.
"Hi Handsome," Anna greeted her husband lovingly. "Hi Jun!"
Jun greeted her with a smile.
"Princess, we have a mission tomorrow," Lee said. "Jun has sensed something."
