”You're sofor the finals you always just fed rass roots”
”Why would I feed you hen you were 5th froe, and what are you doing now?”
”Hmm…part time?”
Jisook picked up an egg and was just about to throw it because of his nonchalant response when Jungwu immediately raised both his hands to surrender and communicated his wishes

”If you don't wake up I'll eat all your eggs”
Jungchan[2] suddenly raised his head when he heard this

Use of competitive spirit to taunt his brother awake proved effective once again Jungchan yawned as he cliwu
”Hyung, why do you wake up so early nowadays?”

”You know this isn't for free, right?”
”Of course I, the eldest son, shall repay this kindness with…”
”I'll probably land within top 5 Sambum and Joonchul didn't do that well this time”
Jungchan interrupted Jungwu in the middle of his speech
”5th place?”
Jisook pushed the boith the unwu gave Jungchan a withering look and said,
”How is it possible that someone from our clan[6] can reach top 5? And not from the back but from the front?”

Jung the ladle Jisook had gripped firaze towards Jungwu and answered
”I don't know aboutyourself into trouble”
”You…”
Jungwu didn't have a good reply for the comment about his failure of a father He really did resemble his father in many ways
