Almost everybody was emotional as she entered their family’s living room. Her mother was crying hysterically while his father silently let tears fall. Her eight best friends were also there with all their faces wet with tears. Junsu was sniffing. Jaejoong was biting his lips to stop tears from falling. Yoochun nodded at her direction and smiled. Changmin didn’t smile but he had a peaceful look on his face. And then there was Yunho, who gazed lovingly at her. She couldn’t help but smile at the sight of the most important people in her life.

“My Yuri…”her mom said and pulled her into a tight hug.

She hugged her back and cried with her. “I missed you, Umma.”

“I missed you too, darling.”

Then, she motioned towards her father who watched them in a corner. “Appa…”

The old man caressed her beloved daughter’s cheek and kissed her forehead. “I missed my princess. This house has been lonely when you were gone.”

“I won’t be gone again, Appa.”

She shifted her attention to her friends. She hugged her best friends one by one. She couldn’t help but laugh at Junsu when he suddenly sobbed when he hugged her.

“Yah! What’s wrong with you, dolphin?” she teased.

“I…I…I just…missed you…” he mumbled in between sobs.

Everybody laughed in unison. Then, Yuri remembered the important person she wanted them to meet.

“Honey, come here.” She said.

A little boy came inside the living room with a very curious expression. Everybody gasped at the sight. He looked at them wondering what was happening.

“He’s like a little Yunho.” Sooyoung said.

“I agree. And just look at that face, it’s like staring into Oppa’s childhood.” Jessica added.

Yuri scooped her into her arms and smiled at them proudly. “This is my son…no, our son. Jung Yunho.”

“Omo! They have the same name!” Krystal squealed.

The little boy looked at her mom and hid her face on her neck. “Mommy, I’m shy.”

Yuri chuckled. “Don’t be. They are you uncles and aunts. And then, there’s also grandpa and grandma.”

“But…where’s Appa?” he asked as his eyes searched for his father in the room. When he found him, he immediately ran to him and gave him a peck on the cheek.

“I missed you, Appa.”

Yunho ruffled his hair. “I missed you too, buddy.”

“Aigoo…they’re so cute!” Tiffany yelped.

The boys went over little Yunho and introduced themselves.

Yoochun was the first who introduced himself. “Hi there, Yunho. I’m Uncle Chun. Nice to meet you.”

The little boy smiled at him. “Hello Uncle Chun.”

“Hello Yunho, I’m Uncle Junsu. I’m the best uncle in the world!” Junsu said enthusiastically.

That earned him a smack from Jaejoong. “Shut up, dolphin. You’re scaring him.”

Yunho’s brows furrowed. “Yah! Yah! No violence in front of my son.” He ordered.

Ignoring his complain, Jaejoong went on to introduce himself. “Hi, I’m Uncle Jaejoong. I’m the most perfect Uncle in the world.”

The little boy suddenly touched his face. “Uncle? But…you’re a girl.” He said innocently.

Jaejoong scratched his head as everybody laughed hard at the boy’s statement. Junsu was smacking the floor while Changmin’s shoulders were shaking from so much laughter. Yoochun jokingly tapped Jaejoong’s back.

“Aunt Jaejoong…” Junsu exclaimed. He was almost out of breath from laughing.

Changmin took Jaejoong’s hand. “Go out with me. I’ll make you the happiest ‘girl’ in the world.” He said and smirked.

Jaejoong glared at the two and was about to smack them when Yunho stopped him. “Stop this. You’re making my son uncomfortable.” Then, Yunho crouched and smiled at his son. “Uncle is not a girl. He just looks like one.”

That earned an ‘oh’ from the little one. He walked towards Jaejoong and bowed. “Mianhe, Uncle Jaejoong.”

The latter smiled at him and pinched his cheeks. “Such a respectful boy. You brought her up well, Yul-ah.”

Yuri’s lips curled into a smile. “Of course. That’s why I warn all of you, including you, Jung Yunho to not teach my son of your mischievous ways.”

“But we’re not mischievous. I can even teach your son how to be cool like me.” Changmin butted in.

Yuri sent him a death glare. “Thanks but no thanks.”

“You might regret that, Yuri.”

“I don’t think so, Changmin.”

The maknae rolled his eyes and turned to the little boy. “What’s up, buddy? I’m Uncle Changmin and I love food.”

“So much for being cool, Shim Changmin.” Jaejoong interrupted.

Little Yunho smiled. “I love food too.”

Changmin winked at him. “See, he loves food too. We’re close now. I’m officially his most favourite uncle. Right, buddy?”

Before the boy can answer, Yunho scooped him away from them.

“Yah! We’re still talking to him. Don’t be rude, Jung Yunho!” Jaejoong whined.

“I’m taking him away before you teach him your evil ways.” He said and walked towards Yuri who was chatting with the girls.

“Yul, can we talk?” Yunho said as he let the girls take care of their son.

Yuri looked at him curiously but agreed anyways. And as they were on their way to the garden, a pair of eyes was watching them.

Just when I was about to be happy, you took everything back. You’re unfair, Yuri. Very unfair.
