"Shut up!"

"Eomma! Sanam is cursing!!"

Hae Ra covered her ears with her palms. Being eight months pregnant and hearing two kids bicker about irrelevant matter worked her up.

"Quiet both you!" She shouted at the kids who ran away from there with a scared expression and hugged their mother from the sides who was coming from the kitchen. They were clinging to her as if their lives depended on it.

"What happened?" Meera asked the kids as she placed the final dish on the big dining table.

"Aunty shouted at us." Taej said while Sanam faked a small cry trying to gain sympathy from their mother.

"I'm so sorry Meera. It's just-"

"AAAH!"

"Eomma!"

Meera pulled the kids' ears and started walking them to Hae Ra who was sitting on the couch, trying to rest. She herself was shook seeing the scene in front.

"Apologise to her." Meera let go off their ears and they immediately rubbed it to ease the pain. "It's okay Meera they were just playing and I over reacted." Hae Ra said. She really loved the twins and was close to them but her hormones were messed up. She gets moody time to time.

"They should apologise to you. I know what it feels like and I even asked them to behave around you but they don't understand." Meera glared at the kids. "Go and say sorry to her."

The twins stood in front of the pregnant lady with their heads hung low.

"We're sorry aunty."

"We will behave from on."

Hae Ra extended her arms and both of them rushed to her side hugging her. "It's okay sweethearts. I'm also sorry. This baby is making me really moody." The kids placed their hands on the big protruding stomach.

"Baby. Come fast. We'll play a lot."

"I'll share my toys with you."

While the kids were busy talking to the baby, Meera went to the kitchen to clean up a bit. "Eomounim! I'll do it." Mrs Lee was almost done cleaning the kitchen. "Let me do some work too. I'm not that old." She pouted. Even if she aged, her youthful beauty was still the same.

"Appa!"

On cue, Meera took a glass of water outside. Taeyong was seated on the big sofa opposite to the couch where Hae Ra was. His hair was a bit messy, his shirt sleeves rolled up and his tie loosened. With that sweat glistening on his neck he looked hot.

"Appa! We saw a movie on shark today. It was so cool!"

"It even showed dolphins!" The twins told their father about their day. And like a good father he listened to each and everything they said with a little energy that was left in him.

"Here." Meera handed him the glass and sat next to him when the kids left. "You look tired."  Meera said all worried.

"Never knew TY was this ugly. His face is degrading with each passing day." Hae Ra said. She was just in the mood to roast her best friend. And Taeyong foolishly did what she wanted him to do. Continue the roasting. It was one of her entertainments.

He immediately sat straight ready to fight back.  Suddenly all his energy was back. "Excuse me. You have no right to comment on me when you yourself look like a bloated balloon."
