"Why are you cooking a lot? Umma wouldn't be home till the next day" Soyou inquired to Jessica who is still busy at the kitchen after having dinner and washing the dishes 
 
"I am just preparing what we will have for the next day. Just marinating and doing the little things that could be done so when Sunday comes, the kitchen won't be in a mess" 
 
"Can I help?" 
 
"Help …" She scanned the a-little messy kitchen to look at what can Soyou help her with. "Okay, can you make the dumpling wrapper?" 
 
"Ah! That's what I did with umma before, right?" 
 
"That's right. Do you still know how to do it?" 
 
"Hmm!" Soyou answered and Jessica laid out a mat first on the living room before bringing the rolling pin and the dough, including the plates and the extra flour. Basically what Soyou might need 
 
"Can I see if you can do it?" 
 
"Okay. But uhm, would a handful of mine be big enough?" 
 
"I guess so" Without waiting anymore, Soyou grabbed a handful of the dough and using the rolling pin to flatten it, and making it round. 
 
"Jajjan! Now I have to place flour here … then the wrapper … then another flour …" She smiled and Jessica nodded 
 
"You can return the dough to the kitchen when you're tired already" 
 
"It's okay, you'll help me when you're done anyway" 
 
"I want to join too!" Nath dashes to where Soyou is and even bringing his toy with him 
 
"Rocky can't make the wrapper" 
 
"He's an audience" Answered him and placing the said toy on the couch beside them. 
 
Jessica finished marinating the chicken and the meat. Now her only task left to do for the preparation about the family day is the homemade dumplings. And she's feeling uneasy because the twins is unusually quiet 
 
"How's it going?" 
 
"Oppa is using both of his hand to press the dough when I am still using the stick" 
 
"I knew he'd do that, that's why I brought another pin and a bottle for me to use" Said Jessica and sitting on the mat too "And he didn't wash his hand too. So, if there's a dumpling that taste like toys, then it's probably Nath who created it's wrapper" 
 
"That's right" Seconded Soyou and Nath huffed  
 
"I washed my hands!" 
 
"I bet mommy didn't too" 
 
Jessica faked a shock "But I did" 
 
"But you're messy, your face too" Answered Soyou and standing up to reach her mommy's face before Nath followed and did the same 
 
"Nathaniel Im! That's a lot of flour you put on my face!" She scrunched her nose before dipping her fingers to the flour and poking the twins with it. Soyou's playfulness came out and Nath followed. It's just that Nath's attack is more obvious because it's sticky and Jessica could feel the flour dropping down 
 
The three's playfulness can't be stopped until Katherine went home and gave them the ultimatum. 
 
"I'm going to tell your dad about this" She hissed and the twins pleaded immediately 
 
"Don't tell abuelito. We started this nanna"  
 
"And besides, we're done making the wrappers" 
 
"Still, look at the mess you did. It's flour all over the living room" 
 
"We'll clean, I'll use that noisy broom" Nath added pointing towards the storage room where the vacuum is stored "I really don't like to stand and face the wall. Abuelito is strict with time too" 
 
"Nanna, we'll clean after stuffing. Mommy is tired too" 
 
"Besides, Abuelito isn't here too" 
 
"Alright. I better not see a bit of flour later on" 
 
"Thank youuuu!!" The twins finally smiled and clung to Katherine's leg "We'll clean!" 
 
"Phew~ We almost got into trouble" Said Soyou in the middle of stuffing the wrapper with the filling so it'll be a dumpling. 
 
"Aren't you two tired yet? I'll finish this, you two can wash up and sleep with mom" 
 
"There's not much left, let's finish this together" 
 
So they finished stuffing the wrapper with the filling before washing their hands and cleaning the living room afterwards. 
 
"I think our food would be very delicious because we even got nagged preparing for it" Nath giggled on their way to the bathroom for a quick wash "They would be surprised" 
 
 

 

-- 
 
"Is unnie going with Ji-Sung oppa and Sungjin?" Asked Jessica to Yoona in the middle of preparing for the gathering/family day later. 
 
"Yes. And since Appa was at his restaurant, he's going separately" 
 
"It's a fight who gets to park inside then" Giggled her. Sure they have a big garage, but that is only for their cars alone. Count in her mom and dad's car. Gladly Krystal prefers to 'borrow' her old car, and when borrow, she meant it a borrow of no return. 
 
"Yeah. One has to park outside the house" 
 
"Good morning" Nath greeted with a yawn "Is someone already here??" 
 
"Soojung" Answered Jessica and Nath quickly left with a grin to dash where Krystal could be. He didn't mind looking room after room because of his want to see his aunt-noona. 
 
"Mhmmhmm" He heard faint noises and crunch sounds at the garden so he went that way. He almost gave up for not seeing everywhere and forgetting to check the garden where Soojung and Soyou is staying in the first place. 
 
"Mhmhmhmm" 
 
"I told you I don't like that kind of talk" He glared with his palms pressed on his hips 
 
"Mhmhmmhmm" Krystal repeated before sticking her tongue out  
 
"We're not friends" Huffed him and taking the available chair  
 
"It's okay, Soyou is my friend" Answered Krystal and Soyou did a high five with her 
 
"Fine then, you are not mommy's nor umma's friend too" He left defeated but grunted when Krystal retorted that Jessica is her friend because they're sister's 
 
"I was excited to see you for nothing, hmp!" 
 
"Come here, I missed you too" Smiled Krystal "Don't be sulky like unnie" 
 
"You don't have anything for me?" 
 
"I brought you a robot, Nathky" 
 
"Nathky" Soyou laughed out loud "It sounds like Chucky" 
 
"Don't call me that" He said when he went close to Krystal 
 
"Then don't be so sulky" 
 
"Hmkay" relented him. 
 
 
-

 
"Soojung is spoiling the kids too much" Yoona did her usual routine – giving Jessica a back hug when cooking 
 
"Are you implying that I should do the same to you?" 
 
"Not really, but I would not disagree if that's the case" She smiled and Jessica waited for the stew to be fully cooked, the last dish to be prepared, before turning to face Yoona 
 
"Okay then" She smiled and gave her wife a kiss. Yoona couldn't hide her happiness so she leaned forwards, her nose touching with her wife's nose 
 
"You'd prepare a lot of food at that rate" Yoojin voiced out with Sungjin on her hold and leaning to the door frame  
 
"I was just starting to whine" pouted her and taking Sungjin "Why does your mom comes at a wrong time, all the time??" 
 
"Like he'll understand you" 
 
"Sungjin, Do you like auntie or do you like auntie?" 
 
"I like auntie!" 
 
"See" Boasted Yoona before inviting Yoojin to the garden 
 
"Aunt!" Soyou ran towards Yoojin first before Nath does since she saw Yoojin faster than Nath. On the other hand, Krystal went to her sister's embrace 
 
"I brought a lot for you too," She whispered "There's a lot of chocolates too" 
 
"Ramen too?" 
 
Instead of whispering back, Krystal used her brows to answer the question, successfully taking away Jessica. 
 
 
"Unnie, I hid the ramen in my cabinet because I bet you, Yoona unnie and Daddy would nag nonstop" 
 
"How many did you bring?" 
 
"One whole box. We'll eat it during midnight" Smirked her "I don't care being bloated now" 
 
"Me too~" 
 
"I brought a lot of chocolates too" She informed opening the box filled with goods "And oh! I saw unnie and she wanted to give this matcha tea set to you" 
 
"Ahh! I want to visit Japan soon!" Jessica pouted with envy, laying down on 'Krystal's' bed 
 
"Unnie, I seriously enjoyed Japan and brought a lot that bear manager complained for the first time" 
 
"Where's my gift then?" She asked and Krystal went to her luggage, opening it with a thud "WOW! That's for me??" 
 
"Yeah. But not all of it" She shrugged, acting cool. The luggage she opened has a label of J and K respectively and it's filled with clothes of their style. 
 
"Are you going to leave this chocolates in the fridge, Aunt?" Soyou asked when she entered Krystal's 'room' right after being asked by her mom to call the sisters because the family is complete already 
 
"Yes, but you can't eat a lot. You'll lose your teeth" 
 
"YES!" 
 
"Is everybody already here?" Jessica asked 
 
"Oh yeah. That's why I came to call you two" 
 
"Who arrived the last?" 
 
"Nanna" 
 
"Okay" Krystal closed the luggage and the box, hiding the chocolates and her present for Jessica 
 
 
 
"It's been a while that we had this kind of gathering" Yoona's dad, Ryeowook, remarked after having a taste of the dumpling since Nath has been telling him to try it. Not to help that Soyou seconded it because she said she's the one who made it. 
 
"I know everybody's busy, but it's because of the kids. They were whining that they miss you" 
 
"Yeah, thank you for making time for today" Added Jessica  
 
"Isn't mom and dad staying in? Also, the twins is sent over to them over the weekend at most" Krystal asked, stating a fact. 
 
"'When I wake up, they're sleeping, then they go back late at night'" Jessica imitated the way Soyou whines "'I even meet the director more than papi because I have to film'" 
 
"That's exactly how she does it" Nath giggled  
 
"So why did you choose to work? You're only what ... 4?" Krystal asked, turning to Soyou with uncertainty because the twins is growing taller by the day and they're maturing too. 
 
"Because I'm a good actress like you and umma. The director really like my acting. Besides, I only work during noon" 
 
"Because you can't work during night yet. But when you grow up and reach 18, you can" Yoojin clarified  
 
"And umma too, she's not home most of the time" 
 
"Right! I just remembered" Nath furrowed his brows "Why does that drama only makes umma cry?" 
 
"Because it's a drama" Yoona answered giving Nath a pinch on his cheeks "The warning said that it's not a drama for 15 years and below" 
 
"But my umma is the actress. How can I not watch?" 
 
"I'll go with you~" Krystal said with joy and standing to leave with Jessica  
 
"Where are you going?" Asked Jin 
 
"To refill the juice and to grab another wine" 
 
"And you?" Asked Katherine looking at Krystal who's help isn't necessary 
 
"I'll bring out some chocolate for us to share" 
 
"Abuelito, mommy, oppa, and I prepared that" Soyou proudly informed to Jin who took a dumpling to his plate 
 
"I know. I heard you even played with flour" 
 
"Hehe" Grinned her "But aren't we great?" 
 
"Yeah. We only played with flour like in That Winter, The wind blows. Oh soo and Oh Young" He cupped his face blushing when he's reminded of that sweet moment. He can still remember how much he smiled and cried while watching that melodramatic drama.
