May 30

People always fall in love with the most perfect aspects of each other’s personalities. Who wouldn’t? Anybody can love the most wonderful parts of another person but that’s not the clever trick. The really clever trick is this: Can you accept the flaws? Can you look at your partner’s faults honestly and say, I can work around that. I can make something out of it? Because the good stuff is always going to be there and it’s always going to be pretty and sparkly, but the crap underneath can ruin you.

It’s our second day here in Japan and all of us are having a blast especially the kids. They cannot stop from talking about their fathers’ performance yesterday and it’s just so overwhelming for our husbands were really touched that we brought the kids with us and they were the ones who gave them the strength and energy to perform yesterday.

I don’t know, but I still feel bad about doubting Jiyong’s loyalty. He told me last night that we shouldn’t talk about it anymore for its non-sense and his confession yesterday is enough for me to know that he’s trying his very best to turn his back from temptations and I know that it’s so hard to do that. We have agreed that we’ll be enjoying this whole day since they don’t have that much work and since it’s our last day here, we will let the kids play around the city of Tokyo.

Waking up with your whole family in one room is a bit weird for me but at the same time, so cool and great. Well, since this trip isn’t planned, I wasn’t able to get hotel rooms for us. The girls and I were already planning to get rooms for us last night but our husbands are really pushy when they said that we can fit in their rooms, and with that being said, Railey, Daryl and I were left with no choice. (I’m sure that it worked for Taeyang and Daryl coz there are only three of them in the family and Yuan is not that big yet). Jiyong, the kids and I have to squeeze ourselves in his room (it’s not big). Just imagine nine people sleeping in one room together (no! don’t imagine it for I, myself got amazed with how things worked for us).

I was awakened by the sound of my phone ringing and it really irritated me for I’m still in deep slumber. This is what I hate the most, picking up a call early in the morning.

“Hello?” I answered lazily and wondered why I’m left alone in bed.

“Sis! It’s Railey” she said as I looked down at the floor to see if my boys are still there sleeping, but they’re not.

“What is it?” I asked and walked out of the room.

“My kids are missing” Railey said and I stopped from looking for my kids for Railey and I are both missing our kids.

“Mine’s missing as well” I answered with my raspy voice and I heard her smirked.

What’s happening now? I’m so sure that the boys have our children and I’m good with it but they should’ve left a note saying that they’ll take the kids somewhere for us mums not to worry (Jiyong knows this so well and yet, he didn’t left me even a short note that says “we’re going out”).

“I’ve just woke up…have you called Tabi already?” I sat on the couch while rubbing my forehead.

“Yep…but he’s not answering…I’ve just woke up as well and here I am…alone in this hostel” she said and I sighed.

“I wonder if Taeyang got Yuan from Daryl” I giggled while imagining it.

 Well, Daryl is really on heck of a bodyguard to her son for she knows if you’re about to get him even if she’s sleeping or is in another room. I don’t know, that chic really has a strong radar signal installed in her system.

“I’m betting my whole life with this one…Daryl is already freaking out now coz Yuan is nowhere to be found and later…she’ll really kill the hell out of Youngbae….wanna bet?” she dared and I chuckled.

“You’ll win this for sure…I can actually sense that she’s about to go here or there in a few minutes from now…ah! Let’s bet in whose hostel she will go to” I said and Railey laughed.

“Fine” Railey said in confidence.

OK. I have a feeling that Daryl will go here for Taeyang’s and Daesung’s hostel is a floor away from ours while TOP’s hostel is still two floors away.

“YEAH!” I said the moment I heard a knock on the door for I’m already expecting Daryl.

“Heyah!” Railey greeted with so much energy while wearing her jammies and with Daryl beside her.

“What? SIS!” I pushed Daryl slightly and she giggled.

“You loss!” Railey said and they walked in our hostel.

I hate it! How can Daryl do this to me? I mean, c’mon! I’m just a floor away from her. Why does she have to go two floors away? These girls are really getting it from me later.

“So…where’s our children?” Railey asked while scanning a magazine.

“I don’t even have a damn clue” I answered while giving them coffee.

“Gosh! Youngbae will really be a dead hotdog later…I swear! How can he get Yuan without even telling me? I mean…he’s just a baby…and he needs his mother always” Daryl said and that made us crack up in laughter.

“Sis…Yuan is already a kid…he’s a year and a half…he can chew solid foods already and can walk even without your help” Railey told her and I nod in agreement.

“You see sis…you have to let go of Yuan being a baby…coz he’s not and he will not be a baby forever…I’m telling you…if you keep on being protective over him…it’ll be hard for you to let him go once he reached puberty stage” I told her and she just rolled her eyes.

“I don’t want him to grow up! If I can only put him in some spell just to not grow up…I will” Daryl said, making me and Railey look at her weirdly.

This is really weird for Daryl to say coz I can clearly see and tell that she’s going to be very protective of Yuan which is good for now, but once that cute boy hits the age of thirteen or fifteen, he will surely push his mother aside and tell her that he doesn’t need her anymore coz he’s a grown man already.

“Sis…you need to relax and…you know…breathe for a while…we have to tell ourselves and set our minds that our kids will not be kids forever and sooner or later they will have a mind of their own and we cannot hold them back anymore” Railey said and I nod in agreement.

Maybe this has been my parents’ dilemma before (and that goes with all the parents in the world as well). But I really think that it’s just normal for us to be protective and very possessive when it comes to our kids for we have a great attachment to them.

After an hour of talking about parenting and the future, the girls and I became so impatient in waiting for our husbands and kids to come home. What made our heads hot is the fact that none of the three fathers are contacting us.

“I have a feeling that they went somewhere fun” Railey said, making me more envious.

“I want to spend this day with Jiyong and the kids…and here I am…with the two of you…talking about stuffs that are enough to make us all go insane” I said and they nod in agreement.

“Who’s phone is that?” Railey asked when a phone started ringing.

“Mine?” I said unsurely and ran inside the room to check it.

And my caller is Boram (Big Bang’s manager). What is it this time?

“Hello?” I answered while panting.

“________-ssi…this is Boram” he introduced right away.

“Yes…what can I do for you?” I asked.

“uhmmm…you and the girls need to prepare now…we’ll go somewhere in an hour” he said and I started feeling curious.

“Huh?” I asked.

“Just prepare” he said and I sighed.

“OK…we’ll be ready in an hour” I said and hanged up.

I have a feeling that we’ll go to a music network once again to watch the boys perform or we’ll go to their studio to watch them rehearse. Either way is fine with me for all I want is to be with my family.

After my conversation with Boram, I immediately told the girls about it and they zoomed off to their hostels like road runner for they got really excited. I know that in their minds, our husbands are up for some romantic surprises, but in my mind it’s different for I have a feeling that the boys will tag us along with them while working.

OK. So this is going to be another fun filled family day for all of us and I’m getting excited. I can already imagine the kids dancing once again while the boys are doing their thing on stage and the three of us are waving the crown lightsticks and feeling so proud of our husbands.

After taking a bath, I immediately ransacked my luggage (I mean this literally, I even left all of my clothes on our bed coz I don’t have much time to put them back inside my suitcase again). 

As expected, the girls finished earlier than me (their excited nerves are doing wonders once again) and knocked even before I get dressed. What’s weird is that, they are like teenage girls imagining what’s waiting fo
