After 2 hours in the road, Im family decided to stop over a supermarket store. Everyone scattered around, using the upportunity to buy snacks and for lunch - this is for a long drive again in the road. Seohyun and Yoona take to go out and do the little grocery while the kids are waiting in the car with the driver. 

 

"Banana Milk?" A rising of eyebrows can be seen in Yoona's face after she saw her wife put a pack of banana milk drink inside their basket. "Yoonie doesn't like the drink, right?" She questioned her wife momentarily.

 

"She has no choice. I can't let her continue drink a juice that is not organic." Reasoned Seohyun, as she put two bottles of water also in the basket - for her and Yoona.

 

"Aigoo. You know she's likes strawberry milk." Yoona reminded her wife.

 

"Was it?" Seohyun have forgotten. "Just when?"

 

Yoona rolled her eyes. "Remember? When you started to introduce her the pink color? She changed her taste too." it's cute and funny, but she somehow started to admit her baby Yoonie will not like her favorite color. Seohyun sure does a influence her daughter, as much as she does. 

 

"Oh, 4 months agao?" Seohyun rememberred on their maknae's birthday. She gave her a pink little piano. It's on the room she shared with her brothers.

"Yup." Yoona nodded.

 

Taking back the banana milk -- she exchange it with a strawberry milk, just next to banana one. But Yoona changed her mind. She put the banana milk back. "I thought Yoonie change her taste now?" She frowned.

 

"It's for me. Hehe." Yoona cheekily answered, earning a knock on the head from her wife. She stuck her tongue out and signal her to continue on the other side of the suparmarket store.

 

Seohyun proceeds to the meat section.

 

"Meat? We're just going to-"

 

"I have no idea when are we coming back, I suppose around night time... let's not bother and prepare for dinner at home anymore. It's good if we'll eat first before travelling back home... With that, we're all full going home. How about we go for a barbecue party?" Seohyun suggested with her bright smile. She's excited to do it again. It's been a while since they had a barbecue party.

 

"Barbecue party? Where?" Yoona creased her brows.

 

"Just in the place where we are sending Appa Im off." Seohyun says, as she knows the lake is honestly open for the public. If she's not wrong, there's a park around.

 

"Oh, Indeed. There's a grilling place there. Okay. But we have to buy the ingredients for barbecue then." Yoona inquired.

 

"That's what I am going to do, Hon. But before that, let me check their meat." Seohyun giggles, handing the basket to Yoona casually as she takes her time choosing for the best meat for grilling. Yoona has no about meat, so she just stood next to her wife, watching her checking the meat. She wonders how can she see which is the freshest? Her wife surely knows everything about cooking. While here she is, just like eating. Isn't that cool? 

 

A couple of minutes later, Seohyun finally decided.

 

"Ribs Barbecue?" Yoona grinned. She always loved ribs barbecue.

 

"Obviously." Seohyun chuckled lightly, as she guided them to the vegetable section for the ingredients.

 

Yoona still stood next to her wife, as she continue to watch only - yet, loving the view. Seohyun's side profile while she's being focus on what's doing. It's been 3 years indeed since she married her, but her beauty never faded. She's still so young to her eyes, even she's 28 years old now. She never really regretted marrying her. Everyday, she's honestly falling more with her. Isn't she lucky? 'Aww, my Hyunnie~ Don't ever change~' In her mind, while she's lost in her thoughts and the beauty of her wife, inside and out. 

 

"Yah! Aren't you even listening?" Seohyun snap a finger in Yoona's face upon realizing her wife had been staring at her, without saying a thing to what she just said.

 

"Eh? What did you said?" Yoona blink her eyes a couple of times.

 

"I was asking if it's okay to change the basket to a shopping cart?" Seohyun chuckles amusingly.

 

"It's okay. I can handle, Hon. Just do it quick. You're making me hungry already. It's not even yet for our lunch." Yoona told her wife, sheepishly. Holding the basket doesn't mind her.

 

"Hmm, Okay." Seohyun sweetly smiled, giving Yoona a light pinch on her nose, before she leads her wife again to the next section.

 

Yoona took a deep breath before she followed - yes, following wherever she go doesn't ever mind her. Seohyun knows more well, she has nothing to complain. She's the 'Daddy' after all. And Seohyun Omma is the best.

 

15 minutes later, they finally put their stuffs to the cashier counter.

 

"Yoong, Do you remember something about this?" Seohyun showed Yoona a fresh mint gum. When she saw the gum in the corner of the counter, she was reminded by a particular event.

 

"The twins." Yoona  chuckle, a little, recalling that time of their of lives, exactly 3 years ago.

 

Flashback...

 

"Yoong, are you sure the twins won't mind us leaving them behind?" Seohyun couldn't really hold back and felt concern. Yes, she doesn't want to go on a honeymoon with their twins. However, the thought of disappointing the twins would always make her feel bad. The twins -- especially Daniel have mentioned he wanted to go with them on the honeymoon after the wedding. But now, they're not going to bring him (them)? "Why don't we just bring the twins? It would be funnier." she suggested for the last time.

 

Yoona cupped Seohyun's cheeks so her eyes are into her. "Listen, this is our honeymoon baby. After this - a family trip. I promise. It's even you that said we should find a time with us only. This is our chance. Look, Appa and your parents even agreed. They're going to look over the twins while we're away. Don't worry about them. And I'm pretty sure we're still going to make a video call to them. I swear, this is our only chance. We should grab this." she leaned in, closes her eyes and kiss Seohyun's lips. 

 

Opening her eyes, as Yoona leaned out, Seohyun flash a convince smile to her wife. "Okay. I'm confident now."

 

"That's my girl." Yoona whispers, kissing Seohyun's forehead and resumed packing their stuffs. Seohyun on the other hand making sure their passport, ticket plane, and more travel documents are secure in one envelope. She took out the passport and plane ticket to prepare it on the side.

 

10 minutes later, Seohyun and Yoona finally call it's done. Both has one luggage respectively, as they carefully left their room. When they confirmed the twins aren't really awake yet, they proceeds leaving the house. But before they can even reach for the door, they heard foot steps that made them freeze.

 

"Wow. So you guys are really leaving now?" It's Mr. Im's voice.

 

Yoona and Seohyun, who were holding each other's hands, let out a sigh of relief, as they turned their heads together. Mr. Im is standing with a big teasing grin in his face.

 

"Can I join?" He joked.

 

"What?! NO WAY!" Yoona shouted, instantly. "THIS IS MY HONEYMOON, APPA!"

 

Mr. Im laugh out loud for a good 15 seconds. As soon as he got himself back, he take his words back. "Of course I am not going. There won't be another grandchild if I will go with you guys."

 

Seohyun bit her lower lip, profusely blushing. Yoona also blushed, but was glaring at her father.

 

"Seriously, just go now. Otherwise, you guys won't able to go if the twins will wake up." Mr. Im says, shooing the couple away.

 

Yoona and Seohyun seems to have the same in mind, as they casually move forward and gave him a bear hug. Both smiled and wave goodbye to him before leaving the mansion completely.

 

"Appa Im almost want to kill me earlier when told us he will join." Seohyun chuckled, as she helped her wife putting on her luggage.

 

"I know right? Good thing and he's just playing around." Yoona chuckled. She close the trunk and made her way to the driver's seat. Whereas, Seohyun took the passenger seat. 

 

Yoona the engine and drives off in no time. She did not missed and held Seohyun's hand, while she's driving the car carefully. Seohyun's smile is just from ear to ear -- while holding Yoona back. This is it. It's their turn finally to make each other happy - with a two weeks of honeymoon. A honeymoon in Australia would surely be a memorable one. She would make sure of that. 

 

Yoona's mind on the other hand is field with future activities they might do in Australia. The country that they have decided to have their honeymoon because of the different stuffs they could enjoy. Something that they haven't really tried together.

 

"Did you bring your camera?" asks Seohyun, breaking their silence. That very moment also, Yoona stop the car for a traffic.

 

"I even bought another one." Yoona replied smugly.

 

"What? You bought? And you did not tell me?" Seohyun, however doesn't like it.

 

"It's just a dslr. No beggies." Yoona reassured.

 

"Aigoo, I told you to tell me if you spend some money. We have to save, didn't we promise?"

 

Yoona giggles, amused at her wife's reaction. "For the twins' and our future maknae's future? I always know that, Hon. And I am not going to forget that."

 

"But you-" Seohyun sighed, as soon as she finds herself being kissed by her wife. She literally push her gently away, and sent Yoona a warning look.

 

"This is the last time, Seohyun Omma. So please... don't mind it anymore - Okay?" Yoona smiled, charmingly.

 

Seohyun can't help it and also smile towards the doe-eyed. "Fine. I will let this pass. But this is the last time." She warned, however.

 

Yoona squeezes Seohyun's hand and just wink at her with a smug smile. Seohyun rolled her eyes, couldn't take her wife's charm again. It would always make her this weak, to be honest. She fan herself and -- "Wait... are you bringing some fresh mint gum?" she can smell something like a gum suddenly inside the car.

 

"Eh? I am not." Yoona answered, realizing also the change of scent in the car. As she and Seohyun followed the scent, they were surprised when they just discover, Paul and Daniel are hiding behind their seats at the back seat. Both are with their obvious sheepish grin while chewing on their gum. 

 

"What on earth are you boys going there?" Yoona and Seohyun exclaim together.

 

Daniel and Paul took their seats respectively and Daniel immediately took out his and Paul's plane ticket from his small luggage. He showed it proudly to their parents.

 

"We're going to Australia!!!" The twins excitedly shouted.

 

Before Yoona could say something, a honk was heard. She cursed inside her mind and decided to resume driving. Whilst, Seohyun snatch their plane tickets and did not forgot, telling the kids to put on their seatbelt as she checks their plane ticket. The tickets are indeed for the twins. It's even the same flight with them.

 

"Hon, they have the same time of flight with us." Seohyun confirmed it to Yoona.

 

"Seriously, where did you guys get the tickets?" Yoona questioned, as she doesn't like this sudden turn of events.

 

"Sorry, Daddy. We just want to go with you guys." The twins said at the same time - looking down to their lap.

 

Seohyun looked at the twins and her wife who has her obvious unpleasant look. She wanted to support her wife, but seeing how the twins just want to join too, she decided to take the twins' side. "Yoong, it's okay. I think it's better like this. The more the merrier." When she heard nothing, she reach for her right hand and held it -- giving her a gentle squeeze. "Don't worry - we're still going to do the things we have plan for this trip. It's 2 weeks of honeymoon with the twins - isn't it cool?"

 

Yoona side-eyed her wife briefly. She also glances to the twins through the rare view mirror. Both kids are still looking down in silence. 'Sh*t. Just when I am planning a lot for me and Hyun only... aigoo... Why I can't complain? Aish, it's funnier indeed to think.'

 

"Baby? Come on, we can't-"

 

"Just tell me first where did you guys get the plane tickets?" Yoona once again questioned.

 

"Grandpa Im. Grandpa Im, D-Daddy. He was the one that processes our travel documents. I'm so sorry we did not tell you." Paul replied, stammering. He feels like going back to the mansion, knowing that they're being scolded.

 

"I'm so sorry. We'll just go back Daddy. Please, just turn the car back." Daniel said, crying silently in his seat. The excitement of going to Australia just died. He can no longer go on if their Daddy doesn't like them, going with them.

 

Seohyun let go of Yoona's hand, as she doesn't like Yoona's reaction. "Stop the car and we'll go back Yoong. Me and the twins will go back." She told her, sternly. It hurts to see her twins hurting by Yoona's obvious swing mood.

 

Paul couldn't help it and pout, just letting his tears also dropping. He wishes Daniel did not say it. But he understands him. He feels the same way with him.

 

Yoona felt like so bad now, listening to the twins' silent cries at the back. Both are now asking her to go back and leave them. It made her more feel so guilty now. Plus Seohyun not saving her. Her wife is also mad at her? She literally smack her head physically, and stopped the car indeed, but she did not lock their doors still. "Stop crying now. I'm sorry. I-I... of course... of course I would like to see you guys with us. What I mean is that... I just want to know. I have no idea what is going on. I'd like to know only. That's it. Don't get me wrong, babies. I'm sorry with my tone. Please... forgive Daddy... " she begs, hating herself for hurting the twins.

 

The twins continue crying for a little while - as Seohyun is quiet, so disappointed with her wife.

 

"Hyun, please? I'm sorry as well. I... "

 

"I understand your sudden outburst too. But Yoong, please put always in your mind... they're still so young. They will be hurt so easily." Seohyun reminded, firmly. "This is why I was hesitant earlier to go without them."

 

"Aigoo..." Yoona sighed and decided to unlock the doors in the car. She then stepped out from the car. But that's only to open the door in the backseat and pulled the twins in her tight apologetic embrace. She keeps on whispering them her apologies, hoping that it will stop the twins. Seohyun on the passenger seat also joined them in the backseat. Seohyun can't also help it and be apologetic to Yoona. She knows she had hurt her through her words earlier.

 

Minutes later, the twins stop sobbing and were now slowly calming down. They both pulled back from their parents' hug and shows a smile - though small, it's a way for them to tell their parents they're okay.

 

Yoona kisses Daniel and Paul's faces all over. "I'm so sorry." and said it for the last time.

 

"We-"

 

"No. No need. It's Daddy's fault. I was only thinking of myself. I love you guys... and I wouldn't really think and bring you guys to Australia." Yoona heartily says, giving each of the boys another tight hug. Seohyun just silently smile at her wife's words  - glad to see her correcting her mistake.

 

"So it's okay now?" ask Daniel in such a soft and low voice. Just want to make sure.

 

"Yes, my Danny." Yoona whispers, and to Paul as well. "My Paul. We're going together. Hmm?" she smiled and ruffle the boys' hairs, earning their great smiles finally. "That's my boys. I love my twins."

 

"So we should get going now!" Seohyun butted with her hyper voice - earning the twins' and Yoona's chuckle. "Omma just can't wait any longer." She smiled and blushes.

 

Yoona did not waste anytime and buckle back Daniel's seat belt, while Seohyun does for Paul. They then stepped out and entered back the car.

 

"Im-Seo Family's Honeymoon! HERE WE GOOO!!!" Yoona shouted in celebration.

 

Seohyun and the twins happily raised their hands in the air and shouted, "HERE WE GOOO!!!!" Like nothing even happened. All in their thoughts are now about going to Australia and have fun. Yoona is the same - as she started the engine again and doesn't have any regrets, disappointment - just happy to see her family is happy with her. After all, everything can happen in their 2 weeks of stay in Australia. Well, thanks to her father who sent the boys.

 

End of Flashback...

 

"The boys may have joined out honeymoon, we never failed our mission." Yoona said with a playful grin to her wife - who is blushing, apparently recalling what happened also during their honeymoon. It's Yoona's turn to snapped a finger in front of her wife.

 

"Huh? Did you say something, Yoong?" Seohyun almost as if she missed something after being taken back to her world.

 

Giggling, Yoona pulled her wife on her hips and slowly leaned to her wife's face. Seohyun's cheeks are reddening, until Yoona stopped, just as their noses are touching.

 

"I said, our honeymoon is yet the best ever that happened to me and you. I won't ever forget that, Hon. But it's better if we do the history again." Yoona whispers, before she lightly kisses her wife's pair of lips. She pulled back and was satisfied by her red reaction. Yet, she receives a lot of slap on her arm,
