jaem♥️: i miss you princess 
yeon💘: we walked home together...
yeon💘: i miss you too🥰
"ummm please do not use your phone at the dining table.." haechan coughed, watching her as she put her phone down 
yeon💘: needa go ttyl❤️❤️
"it's not like you don't use yours..."
ding! 
everything seems to be on cue these days, the boys group chat have started to buzz with messages
"ohh! looks like you got a text! shouldn't you see who it is?" haeyeon forced a smile and spoke with a happy tone, dripping with sarcasm 
haechan sneaked a peek but put it down, "nice try. i'm not falling for it.." 
"you already did! i saw you looking!!" 
he shook his head aggressively, "where's your proof? see, you don't have any right?!" 

"chan, yeon... why do i always come back to hear your joyous bickering. can't we all talk nicely?" mrs lee, their mother came out from the kitchen with dishes in a tray
"we always talk nicely when yeon isn't yelling at me.." 
"mum! he's trying to blame it on me!!!"
"what do you mean.. i'm such a good boy, i need to be on my best behaviour right mum!!" he hinted to his mother 
"oh mum, on this best behaviour for that new game console.... guess what, in his freshman year he ski— OW!"
"he kicked me mum!" haeyeon whined. "lee haechan! what did i say about bullying your sister. yes dear, what were you saying?"
"i was saying that in his freshman year hyuck always skipped cla— "
how does she know...! im so doomed
"HAEYEON!" his loud voice interrupted her, "can i talk to you for awhile... in the kitchen, please" he said softly, standing up and walking away
"fine." haeyeon smiled at their mum as she trailed behind her brother


"what did you want to sa— " 
haechan interrupted her, "how did you know?? wait that's not important.. but please don't tell mum. i really want that game console, i'll do anything you want"
"oh? anything i want? you sure?? for a month?"
hearing the words come out of her mouth rang a bell in his head, "a month.. no way! just a week.." 
haeyeon cocked her eyebrow, "and who was the one that made the bet???"
"yeahh but one week is enough.. i'll seriously do.. anything" 
she thought about it for awhile, i can't be that cruel right...?
"okay fine. a week, but you'll do anything i want or say i need for that week, starting right NOW." 
"okay.. got it yeon but it's valid for a week.. don't forget" haeyeon waved her hands in the air as she walked out of the kitchen with a grin on her face

"hey mum, we settled it already, no worries— " mrs lee laughed in her seat, interrupting her daughter's sentence 
"im sorry darling... if you were talking  about freshman year.. i already know about it.." she said, shaking her head at haechan
his mouth hung agape, "mum.. there's no way... am i still getting that game console?" he pouted at his mum from the corner
"i'll think about it.. i need to tell you guys about something, sit down please"

"then yeon, i think there's no point of the dea— "
haeyeon coughed really loudly, "erm, excuse me. definitely not. you made a bet. it's final, a week. you better agree before i make it two weeks.."
"you can't do that! that's unfair !!" 
haeyeon shaked her head, "is it really more unfair than you going back on your word??? so choose one month or two weeks"
"arghhhh fine two weeks..."
"so kids? you ready?" they immediately went back to their respective seats to listen to her
"i wanted to talk to you about..." she looked at her kids, who are anticipating. "your dad's back in town and he's coming to stay with us for a week" 
once the news broke out, haechan looked terrified and haeyeon was confused 
"didn't he say he'll be away for another two years in the states for work..." haeyeon asked, grabbing a spoonful of rice
"yeahhh but he had to come here to entertain a client and check up on you, so i let him stay a few days"
harchan gulped hard, he's not gonna take away haeyeon again right?
"when is he arriving?" he spoke up
"ohh.. he should be— "
ding dong!
"i'll get the door..." haeyeon said as walked off to the entrance 
the door opened and their dad was standing there with his bags in hand 
"hey sweetheart!" he said, putting down his bags on the ground. haeyeon looked at him stunned as she took a step back
"h-hey dad.." 
"well don't just stand there.. come and give your old man a hug" he stretched his arms out as haeyeon inched forward and fell into his embrace
haechan stood up from his seat, "hey.. dad" 
the word dad so foreign on his tongue which wasn't that unexpected as he hasn't seen and called him in ages
their dad looked up
"hey buddy, it's been a long time.. come here.." haechan walked towards his father and leaned in, he didn't know where to put his hands, just wrapping gently and small pats on the back
"hello yeonsu, thanks for letting me stay here. it's good to see you" dad started as mum looked back at him, "it's good to see you too, dongseok.."
