Eyes roamed through the plush interior of the Jung abode, taking in the minimalistic yet classy ambiance of the decors in the large foyer. Then, they landed on the lone figure seated before all of them. Krystal sat primly on the couch facing them. The only hindrance to her attacks would be the two little bundles sitting on the carpeted floor, playing with each other in utter glee. Coos and light giggles were the only sounds bouncing across the room as Baby Goo and Baby Yeon were finally reunited in a happy reunion, only that, it wasn’t as happy as the confrontation that was going to happen between the notorious Krystal Jung and the other older girls and men.

Krystal leaned back in her seat with a smile, a grin that unsettled everyone in the room save for the babies. “So, what’s up, unnies?” It was a casual query, but it hinted a little mockery on her part, something that made the adults’ blood boil at her nonchalance.

Sunny, standing for the team as the incumbent eldest, had her cat ears twitch in displeasure. “You did this to us, didn’t you?” Krystal noticed the ears’ movement and tried to keep herself in check from chuckling at the sight.

“S-Sorry.” Yoong bowed his head, “Uhm. Well, it was a prank that Seohyun and I played on the unn-I mean-noonas. We, uhm, remembered the time when Taeyeon-noona and J-Jessica-noona accidentally drank the potions Seo and I intended for ourselves.” Yoong gulped the lump in his throat, “And they exchanged souls, but it was for a limited time and the unn- noonas had fun with the change. So-”

Seohyun felt that his buddy needed back-up and took it upon himself to finish off the story, “So, Yoong-hyung and I planned another prank for everyone. They weren’t supposed to turn into babies, but Taeyeon-noona and Jessica-noona finished off the bottle containing the potion and that’s how they turned into babies.”
