Suho: kriseu~ the kids are going out of hand.... 

Kris: ok

Suho: excuse me!! please do something!! 

Kris: shush I'm watching football 

Suho: and football is more important than the kids?!?! do you want to get hit?

Kris: you only talk

Suho: what?

Kris: you won't hit me 

Suho: yeah I won't 

"Ow!" Kris yelps, rubbing the back of his head.

"Says the one who said I won't hit them," Suho smirks.

"I hate you," Kris mumbles.

"Then tell me why we have ten kids," Suho asks.

"I don't know," Kris shrugs. "You're a ."

"Do you want me to tape your mouth and tie you to the bed?" Suho asks, quite annoyed.

Kris breaks out into a grin. "Mm... ." 

"Shut up!" 

"Did you hear that? Mom and Dad are fighting," Sehun snorts.

Suho happens to walk past him with an empty laundry basket.

"Be quiet, Sehun-ah. If you're not going to drink the tea and eat the biscuits, then go continue studying. If not, you cannot go out with Jongin this evening," Suho warns. "You too, Tao. If you don't finish your homework and your daily set of chores, you cannot follow Luhan and Minseok to the club."

Suho: I love you 💜

And he grins, at his successful mis
