y/n: (screams)
[HUENINGKAI runs to living room]
hueningkai: "What's wrong?"
y/n: "There's a spider!"
hueningkai: "Seriously? That's it?"
(spider moves)
hueningkai and y/n: (screams)
y/n: "Why does it look like a baby tarantula?"
hueningkai: "Where is the vacuum cleaner?"
y/n: "In the hallway closet."
[HUENINGKAI runs to closet]
y/n: "Hurry, it's moving again!"
[HUENINGKAI turns on vacuum]
hueningkai: "Step aside. The Terminator is here."
y/n: "Mr. Terminator, where is your protective gear?"
hueningkai: "Um... I left it in my cyborg mobile. But have no fear, I can do without it in this mild situation."
cousin: "What are you guys do--"
hueningkai: "Shh. I am in the middle of extinguishing a monstrosity."
y/n: "Not from that angle, it's gonna fall on our heads!"
hueningkai: "It has to be this angle!"
y/n: "Do it from the side."
hueningkai: "If I do it from the side, it'll--"
[COUSIN throws slipper at spider]
cousin: "There. Problem solved. Looks like you need to rethink your services, Mr. Terminator."
y/n: "It's still twitching!"
[COUSIN whacks spider]
cousin: "If it twitches anymore, just spray it with perfume. There's some in the bathroom cabinet. It can die smelling like Victoria's Secret."
[COUSIN leaves]
y/n: "You were too slow."
hueningkai: "I was not."
y/n: "You were."
uncle: "Hueningkai, can I talk with you for a minute?"
hueningkai: "Sir, I was just trying to kill a spider."
y/n: "He really was."
uncle: "I'm sure you were, but can you step into the den for just a moment?"
hueningkai: "Okay..."
uncle: "[y/n], your aunt needs help with dinner. Would you mind lending her a hand?"
y/n: "Sure."
[Y/N leaves]
hueningkai: "Is everything okay?"
uncle: "Yes, it's fine. I just wanted to ask you... how have you liked staying here?"
hueningkai: "It's been great, actually. You've all been so nice to me."
uncle: "That's good to hear. I know I was skeptical to have you here, but you've been wonderful to all of us. I can tell [y/n] and [cousin] appreciate your company. So do I, to be honest."
hueningkai: "Thank you."
uncle: "That's why this notification from Host Family Services is so difficult."
hueningkai: "Notification?"
uncle: "Yes. Haven't you received the email from them?"
hueningkai: "I haven't checked my email yet today."
[HUENINGKAI pulls out cellphone]
hueningkai: "............oh."
uncle: "Right. 3-4 weeks is when your new, actual host family will be able to take you in."
hueningkai: "I see......"
uncle: "The thing is, though, I emailed them back to let them know that we want you to stay."
hueningkai: "You did?"
uncle: "I did. But I also let them know that the final decision is up to you. This whole mess happened because of their mistake. That doesn't mean they have the final say, too."
hueningkai: "Wow... I don't know what to say."
uncle: "I don't mean to put pressure on you. Just know that whatever you decide, I completely understand and we still care about you just the same. Okay?"
hueningkai: "Okay. Um... how long until I have to give my answer?"
uncle: "2 weeks."
hueningkai: "Only?"
uncle: (laughs) "They did say 3-4 weeks the transfer would be available. But I'll let them know you need two and a half weeks. How does that sound?"
hueningkai: "A little better."
uncle: "Great. I'll let them know. Take your time, okay? Whatever the choice, it's yours to make."
hueningkai: "Thank you, sir."
uncle: "You can drop the 'sir' now, too."
hueningkai: "Okay. Just thank you, then."
uncle: "Exactly."
