"eat lots, boys!" smiled younghee, as she put down the last dish.
go all out they did, japanese, chinese and korean dishes all neatly lined up on the dining table, making all mouths water as they took in the amazing sight of food.

"we thought we'd cook japanese and chinese to have yasuko and meihui feel like they're at home, i guess we got lucky that chenle and renjun are Chinese too," hyunjae explained
"and the korean dishes because we thought you guys would miss the taste of home-made stuff so, tada!!"

"i love you guys," haechan said, almost close to tears at the sight

"eat up, piggies!!" yelled yasuko as she took a seat and began to eat

"wow! it's hot pot!!" renjun exclaimed, the first time the park family had heard him speak
"help yourself, renjun!"

dinner was full of chatter and ofcourse, childhood stories with seorin and hyunjin feeling embarrassed, seonghwa only adding in to their embarrassment as younghee said that he wasn't really a hard child to deal with.

"one time seorin was riding her bicycle and fell straight into mud, it was like she took a chocolate bath," said hyunjae, making his daughter groan
"seonghwa told me i could ride my bike but I didn't know the soil was still wet!"

"i remember last year i took jisung outside to a park to teach him how to ride a bike and he couldn't even balance himself properly," said jaemin
"and i took him another time, and he made no progress," added jeno

"hyung! it was because the person behind me cursed at me and like..wah," defended the boy
"who cursed at you?" renjun asked, getting all serious

"he got really hurt and i told him he shouldn't get hurt because imagine the person infront of you going like this-" jeno then proceeded to make weird motions which reminded seorin of a buffering praying mantis (i make so many glitch mode references onfg)

"that's actually so cute," heejin chuckled, "what about now, sung? have you gone cycling afterwards?"
"no, i was too hurt last time," he sheepishly admitted

"hyung, if you don't mind me asking, why didn't you learn before? like in middle school or something?" asked hyunjin, jisung a little taken aback

"well, my parents were a little strict on me so.. they didn't really let me learn," he said, sadly
"don't worry, son, seorin can teach you," hyunjae offered
"yeah! I've gotten really good and i promise I won't have you fall into mud!"

they continued to share stories and laughs throughout dinner and jisung couldn't help but feel at home with seorin's family.. family.
'so this is what a healthy family feels like'
siblings bickering, the parents scolding them and having nice conversation over dinner..

'i should be feeling jealous of her right now but why do i feel.. none of that? why do i feel like I'm safe? why can't i hate her?'

"one time, hyunjin came home with a girl," started younghee
"mom no!! stop!!"
"no please say it!! it's my favorite one!!"
"mom don't listen to seorin please!"
"oh shut up, hyunjin, its a cute story." seonghwa butt in while the father observed his family with a smile on his face

"I'll say it!" meihui stood up
"NO-"
"he said she was his wife and they were both 5 years old at that time and he said if they weren't gonna accept it he'd run away"
"i hate you guys"

"off topic but, seorin, didn't you tell me about that attractive teacher of yours who scolded you on your first day?" her mother asked, the question making all her friends burst into laughter

"wait you told your mom?" asked haechan
"I HAD TO!! SHE'S JUST SO ATTRACTIVE!"

"hearing you talk about my sister like that is so weird" jisung sighed

"wait she turned out to be jisung's sister?!" her father laughed, seorin could only groan in embarrassment and shove her face in her hands

"this reminds me of renjun," chenle smirked, "hyung, didn't you want to talk to rin's dad about something?"

the boy sat up straight and cleared his throat,
"may i ask for your son's hand in marriage?"

"which one?"

"I TOLD YOU SO"
