Chapter 16: Family Dinner

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Onii-chan," Nozomi called as she lightly tapped him on his shoulders. The male groaned and opened his eyes to see the twins looking at him with gentle smiles on their faces. 

"You brats took too long," Yuken grumbled as he stood up. The twins rolled their eyes at the same time.

"Well, sorry about that," Kiko sarcastically said as the siblings walked out of their home. 

Yuken called for a cab and they hopped in. It was a mere ten-minute ride and they had already reached the restaurant. 

The siblings went inside and looked at their surroundings. Yuken moved towards the hostess who smiled politely at him.

"We have a reservation," he simply said.

"May I know the name, sir?" the hostess asked. 

"Odajima Nori," Yuken replied his father's name. 

The hostess smiled and ushered the siblings to follow her inside. She led them to an empty room. 

As the hostess left, the trio sat down on the zabuton

As the hostess left, the trio sat down on the zabuton. Nozomi and Kiko sat down beside each other while Yuken sat down across from them. 

"When will Mom and Dad come?" Kiko questioned.

"They said they are on their way," Yuken replied. Nozomi sighed and leaned her back on the seat. 

"I'm starving," she whispered causing Kiko to look at her with a smirk.

"Lucky me, I ate earlier," the older twin muttered as she recalled her date with Fujio.

Nozomi groaned, "And I'm a bit sleepy."

"Zomi, you got a lot of problems today," Kiko told her while laughing. 

Yuken glanced at his siblings and sighed. 

"You guys want to order?" he asked causing the two girls to look at him.

"No, let's just wait for them," Nozomi refused.

"You said you're hungry."

"I'll be fine," the youngest assured. "Just carry me when I fainted."

Yuken was about to reply but Nozomi cut him off with a laugh. "I'm just kidding. But I promise I'm fine."

The siblings waited a few more minutes until the door slid open revealing their parents. Their father sat down at the head of the table. Odajima Yuriko smiled fondly at her children and sat down beside her husband. 

"We can order now, right?" Kiko asked as their parents settled into their seats.

"Yes, we can," Nori replied to his daughter.

The twins were the first ones to decide what they are going to eat. Nozomi grumbled as Yuken took longer to choose, causing him to look at her with a scowl on his face. He finally decided before Nozomi can punch him due to her being hungry.
