81 Distance 2 (1/2)

The next morning just after 4 am the triplets woke up and so did Hikari and mama Mei, she made breakfast for them, Hikari did not sleep well last night because he kept waking up looking for his mother.

Yoshino explained to him what happen and Hikari calmed down a bit but still couldn't hide the fact that he missed and wanted to see his mother, with puffy eyes and a foul mood he ate his rice pudding and pouted the whole day.

Normally when he was in a bad mood the triplets would do everything they could to make him happy but they couldn't right now because they too were in foul moods. Misaki came over with their clothes and told the Jin Ha would come and visit them soon.

She then discussed things with Yuki and Yoshino about their mothers business, Yuki was her mothers right-hand and she needed to sort things out. After getting things in order, time past and it was 10 am.

Yuki made calls to a lot of people and managed to arrange helpers for the store, she wasn't feeling too good and making cakes right now would just depress her, Yoshino wrote put a payment plan that would benefit the helpers and give them more motivation to work than to help out of pity.

The day went by smoothly but was somewhat dull because everyone was still gloomy, Hikari kept sleeping while the triplets sat in the lounge and watched tv while semi-ignoring their grandfather's constant care for them.

Feeling a bit flustered at talking to the walls he spoke to mama Mei and asked her to help him but he was told just to leave them alone, those kids were the same person and if 1 ignored you the other 2 would too.

She herself was slightly struggling and couldn't really imagine how Min Hee managed to deal with them and this seemed to be worse than the time when Yoshino and Yoshiyuki got into an argument and decided to break all the windows in the house including the glass sliding doors.

In the afternoon Yoshino and Erina came over with their 3 kids because he wanted his children to meet each other.

---

When they arrived they were met with the triplets who were sitting in the lounge just staring at them, Yoshino furrowed his brows after greeting them and not getting a reply but still introduced his kids to each other.

”Okay, you 3 this is your eldest brother Yoshino, second brother Yoshiro and your eldest sister Yoshiyuki, uh…(He hesitated before saying), These are my children with Erina, Aria the eldest she's 13, Okino his 9 and Yui, she's a year older than Hikari.”

The triplets sat up straight and looked at their 3 siblings, Yuki was sitting the nearest to them look back at her brothers and smirked, seeing this the 2 of them smiled, she then turned around and reached out to Aria's hand and said, ”Do you know what?”

Aria lifted a brow and asked, ”Yes?”

”Yui is still a bit young so she won't understand this but I always wanted a little sister that I could bond with.”

”Really?”, she asked in disbelief with a raised brow.

”Mn”, Yuki nodded her head. She tried pulling Aria closer but her hand was shaking slightly to loosen the grip, seeing this the triplets felt strange, ignoring Aria's rude manners Yuki looked at Okino and said, ”You look just like Mr Yashuharu.”
