In the Marriage Hall
All the elders were busy handling the rituals, decorations, and guests…
But the children?
They were living in their own world.

Kids' Corner
Justin: staring at Eric with sparkly eyes 😍
Eric: without even looking at him "Stop staring at me." 😐
Justin: "What can I do? You're my only entertainment, darling." 🥰
Eric: "Emily." 😐
Emily immediately slid between them with a grin.
Emily: "I'm here 😁."
Justin: "What the—
Girl, just wait. When you get a lover, I swear I'll wedge myself between you two like a traffic cone 😤."
Emily: "For that, sir, I need a lover first 😁."
Eric: turns red instantly 😳
Meanwhile—
Lussy: "Thomas brother… is this dress okay?" 😅
Thomas: "It's the tenth time you're asking me, Lussy.
It looks good.
Please, God, save me." 🥲

Reality Behind Their Cute Chaos
Ever since that incident in the room—
Ever since Justin whispered how he'd "devour Eric when they're adults"—
Eric can't even look straight at Justin now.
The boy who was once planning revenge…
is now shy, flustered, and helpless.
Justin enjoys every second of it.

Adults' Side
Jonathan: "Did you prepare everything?" 😊
Steve: "Yes, brother." 😊
Jonathan: "Where is Joseph?" 🙁
Steve: "No idea. We've been searching everywhere.
Feels like the boy vanished." 😤
Jonathan: "Aish… this boy." 😤
Amber: "Don't get angry.
He's still a kid dealing with love failure." 😊
Jonathan: "For you, everyone in this house is a child… even da—"
Steve: "Brother… look to your right." 😅
Jonathan slowly turned and saw Amber staring at him like she could burn a hole through his skull.
Jonathan: "Oh…
I-I mean, darling, no one can take care of you like you do.
Hehe." 😁
Amber: "Shut up and finish the arrangements." 😤
Jonathan: "Of course! Right away!" 😁
Amber walked off.
Steve: quiet giggle 🤭
Jonathan: "If you laugh again, I'll kill you." 😤
