In times of crisis and mass surveillance, they need to play it cool. Nothing says we’re not worried the city setting itself on fire like dinner with the ‘rents. Hopefully, Dongwoo and Haechul won’t get questioned too much at the dinner table.
Dongwoo carefully adjusts his hold on the tiered serving platter, fingers grazing over an orange price sticker he forgot to remove.

Hayoon will probably need to get yelled at to come down for dinner -- always locking herself in her bedroom with the computer, probably hacking into the government. Taeha is...she’s a little sensitive, especially since that one idol got exposed as a faerie. So, don’t feel bad if she bursts into tears and you don’t know why. And the youngest is--”
