before being told about their scheduled guest appearance on the show, meiqi didn’t even know what the return of the superman was. her first impression after hearing the title was that it was a show about superheroes—would they have to cosplay as them while they played games to determine who was the strongest avenger, or something along the lines of that? will they get to pick their own outfits for it, or will she have to dress up in cheap halloween costumes prepared by the staff?
upon learning that the show is about kids, she doesn’t know if that’s better or worse.
it’s not that meiqi hates kids; she thinks they can be cute and fun when they’re not crying over something stupid. but she’s also never spent an extended amount of time with them, being the youngest in her family. the most she’s done is coo at a baby in the streets. and then that same baby cried.
she’s going to have to stick to sunmi and seulgi as much as she can today.
“wait,” she stops sunmi’s train of thought to count on her fingers. she’s unperturbed by the fact that she didn’t know this little tidbit about sunmi (she should really start paying attention when other people talk about themselves), just confused. “you have ashe and another younger sister, and then there’s you… how many siblings are in your family?”
sunmi’s gifts for the kids are perfect. you can never go wrong with clothes, and meiqi wishes she had thought of that before. though, she supposes showing up with two pairs of outfits might not be the best idea, but it was better than her plan. meiqi had originally bought the kids a switch to share (her logic: juhee is practically a kid at heart and she likes it, so younger kids must like it too), but everyone told her that was too expensive and the parents wouldn’t like it, so she bought two last minute doll houses instead.
she holds the bags carrying the toys up unsurely. “i brought these… i don’t know what kids like, but the clerk at the shop recommended them…”
it doesn’t occur to sunmi until meiqi makes her pause and backtrack that not everyone knew about the new additions to the lee family. logically it made sense: meiqi didn’t come to nova until sunmi’s parents had the wedding and never got to come. it was a grande affair. sunmi was excited with how it had turned out. of course meiqi didn’t know.
“oh! yeah, my youngest siblings are twins. jinhee and jinyoung. they were born in 2016. their birthdays are coming up right after our promotion ends for high heels, actually,” sunmi says with a smile. though there are a lot of kids in the lee family. or it feels that way at least. “i’m the eldest, then it’s our stepbrother seungdong. he used to be a royal trainee but became a teacher instead. then it’s ashe. and then jinhee and jinyoung. and of course cheri is basically my dad’s other daughter because we grew up together.....”
it didn’t seem like that many kids. of course the family grew in the last four years but it wasn’t as if her dad had to deal with three kids and suddenly have twins as a new addition. she, her brother and sister were all grown and out of the house. her dad gets to dedicate all of his time to the twins.
she peered inside meiqi’s bag with a smile. “oh wow a dollhouse! i think that’s a really cute toy for them both. i think kids to stick to actual toys instead of their tablets.” jinyoung loved his tablet while jinhee never used hers unless it was for car rides. sunmi’s younger sister preferred going outside, running and playing with toys. although jinyoung never strayed too far from his sister’s side, he was usually on his tablet. “i had a dollhouse like this when i was little. my mom had gotten it for me for christmas the year she passed away. my little sister has it now.”
