    Khun and Viole

    You remain silent throughout the conversation, smiling and letting yourself be carried away by the waves of your small happiness in the confines of Jinsung's house—a house that opens its doors to you and Viole when they're at their worst.

    Your smile is ever-present.

    "So, who dominates the room?"

    You choke on your food. You would have laughed at the way the three heads turned toward you in alarm if you weren't desperate for air. You swallow large gulps of water and smile cautiously.

    Why does it seem like you're the only one affected?

    Still, you want to laugh at the redness on Viole's neck and ears while Khun remains neutral. He finds reassurance in the subtle way Khun's eyebrows raise.

    You smile slyly at Viole. Viole kicks you under the table.

    "I won't pry," Jinsung grins. It doesn't take a genius to guess he already had the answer. "How was the honeymoon?"

    "Very good," Viole says in a calm yet shy and happy tone, and you almost spit out your drink. Viole is still a shy child, it seems.

    Viole understands that a honeymoon is a private occasion for a couple. As much as you want to know the details, you respect their privacy. It's one of the unique experiences between two people as their marriage solidifies.

    Cool, you think, sipping water as you watch Jinsung ask what they think about children.

    "We haven't talked about it yet," Khun replies sincerely. Viole nods beside him.

    "Well, what about your opinions?"

    You think Jinsung is too nosy or too interrogative right now. Is this some kind of job interview? If so, what are they applying for?

    Khun is the first to answer: "Maybe two."

    You smile unconsciously.

    "Likewise," Viole quickly agrees with Khun. You think for a moment that Viole is just agreeing with Khun because, well, it's Khun, but the genuine gleam in his eyes proves otherwise.

    Well, isn't that great?

    You know why, two of you. You understand perfectly well.

    "Stop asking about us. I want to know more about {{username}}."

    Wow, Viole. You stare at him from across the table. I'm trying to be invisible here.

    "What about {{username}}*?"

    You swallow hard. You know Viole too well to bring it up: "{{username}}*." is having a great time being single."
