Hanuel: hehe thank you uncle!
*he muffled with his cheek stuff. Leo sat next to you and with his legs criss crossed. Mark gave you a nod and happily says “yes” before taking another bite of the watermelon*
*takes a glance over at you and points at my lips*

*purse lips even after taking a piece of watermelon for myself*

*hums along while I raised the pitch of my voice to sound just like the kids*

@Sehun Oh (∝) /smiles when you and the boys come over to me, chuckles when the triplets are starring at the food the moment I open the lid/
Aigoo the three of you must be really hungry, huh?
/takes and gives each of sandwich to Haneul, Leo and Seungmin, replies their thank and smiles at them/
If you want more, just take it. Uncle made more than enough for all of us.
/Let both Seungmin and Haneul sitting on my lap as they're eating their sandwiches, looks at Mark who is enjoying the watermelon/
Your papa really knows how much you love watermelon, Markie.
/smiles softly at him/
Take and eat the sandwich after this, okay?

@Suho Kim - Peacekeeper (β) *helping the three boys wipe their hands and then mine afterwards, I scoot closer to be next to you and seungmin so that the rest of the boys can see the snack that was brought*
Mark: I this what uncle myeon made for us?
*mark peeked over at the sandwiches that was already cut, he stared in amazement with his mouth salivating the moment he see the pack of sliced watermelon*
You want some watermelon hm markie? Haha here let me help you with that
*reaches to take the pack of watermelon and opens it, grabs a fork to stab the watermelon, brings the fork over to mark*

*decides to feed markie as he giggled and open his mouth in delight, place the watermelon close to his lips so he can bite it and let the juice of the watermelon glide down his throat*
Mark: mm yummy~ hehe I love watermelon.
*hanuel and leo stands near you and seungmin ready to get their sandwiches from you as they stare at the food the moment you open the lid*

@Sehun Oh (∝) /following you from behind as Leo and and Mark tagging you along in front me, arrives at the beach mat and I place Seungmin down on the mat/
Uncle get you a plastic bag so you can put all the sea shells in it.
/smiles at him and goes to my bag, takes out a plastic bag and comes back to him, opens it before I let Seungmin puts the rest of sea shells in it/
Let's clean up your hand.
/gets up to place the bag of sea shells in my bag before I get two pieces of wet wipes, cleans Seungmin's hands with it and my hands after that/
/goes to basket of food and takes out the food containers that have sandwich and some snacks, opens the lids/
Come here, boys~

@Suho Kim - Peacekeeper (β) He sure is~ all thanks to your hyungs who wanted to make something for the king crabby. Now he can bring his family and friends to live in the castle.
*brings my hand to hold the hands of hanuel so that we can head back to our rest area. Leo and Mark ended up tagging along making sure not to leave anything behind*
I will double check.
*nods when you suggested another way to wash the kids hands. Once Arriving back. I settled down on the edge of the mat while the three boys waddled around the beach mat. Starts checking the picnic basket to see if I ended up packing the wet wipes luckily finding on in the pocket*
There it is~ alrighty, lets all line up and papa will help you wipe your hands. Once papa cleans your hand then your uncle myeonnie will hand you a yummy sandwich! Sounds good?
* smiles when I hear the boys cheer, hanuel stood infront of me while I open the wipes to clean both his hands until moving on to the next child*

@Sehun Oh (∝) /Seungmin shyly takes your hand and he peeks at the sand castle, smiling widely once he sees the king crabby/
Seungmin: The king crabby so cute, papa~ I'm happy they have castle now.
/chuckles softly over his words and I ruffle his hair gently/
Right? They will like the sand castle.
/looks at Haneul when I hear his stomach growling, chuckling softly as nodding my head/
Let's go have the meal now.
/carries up Seungmin on my left side, walking towards our rest area as carrying him/
I think we brought one pack of it. If not, we can wash their hand using the water from water bottle.

@Suho Kim - Peacekeeper (β) *smiles at how seungmin looked happy after giving his siblings seashells he picked out, looks down at my fingers to stare at the seashell given go me before looking over at hanuel, leo, and mark*
What do you boys say to your little dongsaeng hmm?
*the three boys to that as a cue to say thank you with the cheerful voice causing seungmin to giggle and hold onto your hand when you started leading him to my direction*
*brings my hand to gently take seungmin’s other hand so he can come up close to see the little crab crawling around the castle that is in progress*
What do you think of king crabby? He is going to get a pretty castle for him and his friends.
*suddenly turns my head when I hear the sound of hanuel’s stomach growling*
Aigoo~ is hanuellie hungry?
*hanuel looks over at us as he blush a bit after having his stomach growl, he flash a cheeky smile and nodded at my question while poking his tummy*
Okie dokie, then lets go take a break for now and have something to eat. Im sure you all are excited to have the food uncle prepared for us.
* stands up after sitting on the sand, meets gaze with you and flashes you a smile*
Lets go back to our rest area hm? I will help with washing their hands so it wont taste salty from the sand stuck on our hands. Did we pack wet wipes?
*thinks for a bit hoping we brought some to clean the boys hands before they eat*

@Sehun Oh (∝) You are welcome
/smiles and hears Seungmin mutters the same thing as mine before he looks at his other siblings, he gives one seashell to Markie and then to Leo, smiles some more because I could see Seungmin is happy that he could give the seashells to his siblings/
/turns my head to look at you and listens to you as you're calling Seungmin to join you, glances at Seungmin/
Let's take a look at the king crabby, Minnie.
/holds his hand and leads him to you/

@Suho Kim - Peacekeeper (β) *takes the sea shell you were handing over to me, continues to smile as I brush my thumb against the seashell and then faces the two of you*
Thank you minnie~ Myeon hyung~ I love it. And I also agree that it is very pretty.
*the other two boys goes over excitedly after hearing that everyone get one, mark was the first to approach to ask for his before leo followed along beside him as he glanced at hanuel’s seashell*
Seungmin wanna come join papa and the boys build the sand castle? Also there is a little critter living in this castle too~ Markie hyung found this little fellah. Meet king crabby.
*extends my hand out for seungmin so that I can show him the little crab*

@Sehun Oh (∝) /smiles when Haneul come sover to us and asks Seungmin about the seashell, watching him hands over the seashell to hanuel as he stares at it with curiosity, nods my head/
Yup, we found one for everyone.
/turns my gaze to Seungmin when I feel the tug on the hem of my shirt, realizes what he wants and I take the one that I pick, handing it over to you/
This is for you, Sehun. Seungmin said it's pretty~
/smiles softyly/

@Suho Kim - Peacekeeper (β) *seungmin quietly walks beside you after hearing from you that we didnt have one for his other papa, he responded with a small nod and holds the hem of your shirt*
*by the time the two of you arrived hanuel goes over to see what seungmin is holding with his other hand and asked about the seashell. Seungmin curls his lips into a sheepish smile and hands over the seashell to hanuel as he stares at it with curiosity*
Seungmin: uncle and I found seashell for all of us.
*looks at the direction of seungmin when I catch sight of his smile, I couldn’t help but smile along*
You both found pretty seashells. everyone has one? Can papa see the seashell you found for him minnie?
*seungmin looks over at you to tug on the hem of your shirt wanting you to give me my seashell before he look over to stare at the sand castle that is on progress*

@Sehun Oh (∝) Yeah, I don't know.
/still looking at him and smiling softly as Seungmin is looking over at where you and the other boys at, tilts my head a bit when he looks back at me/
Maybe. Because uncle thinks that we don't have one for papa hunnie?
/he looks back at you and the boys while still holding my shirt, turns my gaze at the same direction and sees you wave at us and call us, nods my head/
We will come over soon!
/kisses his head to make him look at me, smiles/
Let's go to your hyungs and papa.
/stands up on my feet again and waits for him to do the same, starts walking again towards you and the boys/

@Suho Kim - Peacekeeper (β) Seungmin: uncle don’t know..?
*he asked questioningly as he turn his head over at his brothers who were running to help get more sand near the shore and then over to my direction as I help them flip the bucket and asking the kids to pat the bucket so that it can create a shape out of the bucket*
*seungmin gets quiet all of a sudden and then looks at you already seeing your soft smile as he already know who this seashell is for*
Seungmin: its for p-papa h-hunnie? *he holds onto your shirt when you remained squating down his level, he had his cheek plump while his lips is purse when staring at his brothers cheering when the castle is forming*
*while I was sitting I look over to see you and seungmin facing our directions, waves you both over*

Seungmin: uncle found another seashell? Ooo its pweety.
*he stares at the seashell you picked up, he brought his small hand to touch the seashell before looking at you and tugging your shirt*
Seungmin: who is this for uncle?

@Sehun Oh (∝) /looks at him in wide eyes before I nod my head/
Okay, let's find some more for your baby brothers.
/smiles and follows him around to collect another three pretty shells for his baby brothers, takes the seashells that he choose for them/
Alright~ Let's go back to our rest area.
/holds the seashells in both of my hands and tells him to walk in front of me as I follow behind him, looks around the sand if I can find another pretty seashell for you/
Minnie~ wait a minute.
/stops walking and takes few steps too the seashell that I find, squats down/
I think this one will be nice.
/takes it and examines it with a smile on my face/

@Suho Kim - Peacekeeper (β) You did it hanuellie! Papa is so proud of you~!
*carries hanuel back over after letting him paddle around, brings him back over to leo and markie who were building the sand castle, they started preparing the base of the sandcastle while leo was helping out with the digging*
Oh wow what a pretty cool sand castle leo~ markie~
* calls out to get leo and marks attention, sets hanuel down once we were close to the shoreline, holds his hand so we can walk over to see what markie wants to show while leo stand up to wave at us*
Leo: Papa! Lookie~! Markie found this while we were building the sand castle!! Its king crabby hehe *he points over at the little crab that was roaming around the base of the castle as I squat down to stare at the crab*
Hello king crabby~ Looks like my boys made you a pretty castle. Say boys? How about we continue building the castle and then we can show it to your uncle and minnie?
* the boys cheered as I smiled and start helping them build*

*seungmin looks over at you and tilt his head the moment you said if we are missing someone, he had round orbs as he looks back down at the seashells as he purse his lips*
Seungmin: that’s everyone uncle~
*he stares at the seashells blankly before he look back up with wide eyes*
Seungmin: I forgot baby brothers! Three more seashells uncle myeon!
*he starts roaming around to pick out three more pretty shells for his baby brothers*

@Sehun Oh (∝) /smiles at the little boy when he hands me the seashell/
Thank you~ you hold that first for me, okay?
/Seungmin nods his head and he giggles after I give him the one that I dig for him, stands up and continues looking for another seashells/
/After a while, both me and Seungmin manage to get about 7 seashells. I look at him before I smile/
We get one for everyone, Seungmin.
/he looks at the seashells in his hands and in my hands too/
Seungmin: We only have seven...
/tilts head over his words and counts again in my head, somehow I know who but pretend that I don't know/
Did we miss someone, sweetie? We get one for mama, papa Yukhei, Markie, Haneul, Leo, one for you and another one for me, right?

@Suho Kim - Peacekeeper (β) *seungmin’s eyes grew wide as he shake his head and hands the seashell he was holding to you when you mentioned not getting one for his uncle*
Seungmin: dis one is for uncle myeonnie!
*seungmin was waving at it to you before he carried it with both his hands, he stared at the section where you are digging the sand before holding the other piece you found, he giggled at your compliment and continue searching for more seashell*
*while the two boys are building a sand castle, I was counting to three before telling him to hold his breath so we both dive inside. After feeling a pat on the shoulder, I carried Hanuel back up so we can both catch our breath this time with my slightly long hair down, slicks my hair back and laughs softly*
How was that Hanuel? Not so bad right?

@Sehun Oh (∝) /chuckles softly over his words and I get on my feet/
You won't get one for me and papa Sehun, Minnie?
/follows behind him as waddles around to find more seashells, stops in my steps when he stops and points to the one he found, squatting down and digging the sand, takes it and checks on it before I give it to him/
This one is different but it's pretty. You really have a good taste, sweetie~
/Mark and Leo watches you from the shoreline before Mark brings his brother up a bit and asks him if he wants to build sand castle while waiting for you/

@Suho Kim - Peacekeeper (β) *seungmin stared over at you while he carried the seashell, he attempted to count with his finger when you started to count yours, His eyes were rounded when you started to name everyone as he grew excited*
Seungmin: for papa Yukhei, mama, Hanuel, Leo, and mark!
* he held the first sea shell close to him as he waddles around to find more seashells*
*decides to bring Hanuel over to the deep as I carry him in my arm feeling him cling onto me while Leo and Markie watch at the shoreline*
Papa is not going to let go~
*hums as I made it further in the water as it reach my belly button, lowers myself so that my shoulder and up are exposed, carries Hanuel so he can feel the water*
Hanuel wanna try going under water. Papa will count to three and we both take a deep breath and go under water.

@Sehun Oh (∝) Alright, let's collect them. Minnie looks for it and uncle will dig it out for you.
/smiles at him and chuckles when I see his surprised look when he sees how big is the sea shell/
/takes out my phone and takes picture of him with the sea shell/
Should we get like...
/counts with my fingers/
6 more? Hanuel, Leo, Mark, papa, mama and papa Yukhie.

@Suho Kim - Peacekeeper (β) *seungmin nods with a cheeky grin when you brought him close to the sea shell he spotted*
Seungmin: yes please!
*he stood next to you when you help get the shell for him, his eyes grew round at how big the seashell was compared to his hand*
*hanuel slips his hand away so he can splash more towards Leo and mark as they whine, another wave comes by as I walked over to block the impact of the wave for them so they would feel much of the impact*
Aigoo careful boys.
*chuckles and steps further into the ocean until the water reaches my hip, extends my hand out wondering which of the boys wanna join me to the deep part of the water*
Who wants to try going to the deep? Papa will be holding you close

@Sehun Oh (∝) /smiles once I feel the water hit my feet, looking at Seungmin and nodding my head over his words, feels glad that he used to the temperature after a while/
/turns to the direction where he points and sees the sea shell, brings him closer to it/
Wanna collect the sea shells, Minnie?
/looks at him before squatting down, digs a little of the sand and takes out the shell, gives him to it after I make sure it's empty/

@Suho Kim - Peacekeeper (β) *minnie grips onto your hand when following you, he looked over at the wave that is going to reach up to his feet as He chimed about how the wave is cold until he eventually got used to it and now the water finally becomes warm to him*
Minnie: uncle myeon look~
*seungmin points over at the direction where he sees a sea shell, he slightly gave a tug as his gaze remained on the shell making sure it doesn’t go anywhere*
*meanwhile, Leo and Markie where happily running further in the water as they start making big splashes at each other when the waves comes by. I brought Hanuel along with me and walked him over to where the two alphas are busy splashing each other, Hanuel took this opportunity to ambush Leo by splashing water at him from behind*

@Sehun Oh (∝) Huh? But, I'm okay to stay here, Sehun-ah.
/looks at your extended hand, blinks my eyes and just sigh a little, smiling softly/
Alright, alright.
/turns my head to Seungmin and smiles at him, takes his hand and hold it/
Let's go, Minnie~
/walks towards the water as watching you and the other boys already at the shoreline/

@Suho Kim - Peacekeeper (β) *leo runs back to the rest of his brothers after drinking. Before I could continue to apply the lotion on my skin, watches you end up taking it from me so you can help apply it on my back, feels how gentle your hands were when you rub it on my back. Looks over my shoulder a bit just to get a small glance of you rubbing my back until I feel you giving me a pat, curls my lips into a smile*
Thank you myeon, but at least let your feet touch the water.
* reaches to take your hand to bring you along with the boys*
You don’t need to get yourself wet, plus I know the kids would like it if you join. They won’t go that far in the water, just around the shoreline.
* chuckles as the boys rush over as that’s the sign to go straight to the water, all the boys hold their hands together as they wait for the next wave so they can feel the water*
Hyung go hold seungmin’s hand he looks like he is waiting for you~
*slowly let’s go so that I can hold hanuel’s hand when he is at the other side, seungmin glances at you as he hold his other hand for you*

@Sehun Oh (∝) You're welcome, Leo.
/smiles at him before I see you you're applying the sunscreen on your back, chuckles softly before I stand up, comes towards you/
Let me help you.
/takes the lotion from you, put some on my palm before I rub it on your back especially the area you can't reach just now until done/
All done
/pats your back few times in playfully/
Go now with your sons.
