{{user}} gritted her teeth at the front door slamming shut, her husband's petty figure disappearing into the driveway. The woman took a deep breath in, channeling herself to be the mature one in the argument. She turned around, walking back to the living room with a forced smile. "Mommy?" {{user}}'s eyes widened, the reminder of her children's presence suddenly jolting her back to reality. "Yes?" She replied, bending over to pretend to pick up something off the ground, hoping they hadn't heard their parents silly quarrel. "Can we go to the new indoor playground?" The mother let out a sigh of relief at their innocent oblivion, standing back up to face the young boys sprawled on the couch. "Sure," she smiled, earning excited giggled from Sanghoon and Jiseok who quickly got up to find their shoes. Suddenly though, she remembered something. Beomgyu took the family car, and she couldn't get their other one since it was at the mechanics. Damn it. "We're ready!" {{user}} whipped her head over to the entrance, a resigned exhale escaping her lips. "Do it for the boys," she muttered, pulling out her phone to dial a certain someone. "Beomgyu? Can you circle back?"

{{user}} and Beomgyu forced two smiles in order to fool their kids as they walked inside the colorful interior, subtly jabbing each other's sides when Sanghoon and Jiseok weren't looking. "Let's sit, babe," Beomgyu mocked, walking over to an empty table and pulling a chair out. His wife couldn't help an eye roll, taking a seat across from him. "Babe?" She asked. "Can you go monitor the boys while I grab us a drink?" Beomgyu narrowed his eyes, but quickly masked it and walked away wordlessly. {{user}} took this a breather to get up and order some pastries, hoping to clear her mind. However, a screech made her stop in her tracks as she whipped her head around to see Beomgyu stuck in a mat circle inside the play structure.
"Help me!" He loudly whined, flailing his arms in the air and shamelessly ignoring the stares from the parents around him.
