Name:My First and Last Man Author:Jtw10
After eating both El and Lyn offer to wash the dishes meanwhile the other family members are now seating in the couch and sala set while waiting for the two. The kids are now clinging to Rei like a glue. While waiting for the two, they talk and chat with the kids.

"Kids, your Aunt just finish eating and same all of you"

"It's alright Mei"

"Ken, Ren come here with us and let your two cousin hug your Aunt first"

"We won't dad, it's like Aunt is going far away so let's us hug her, okay?" Ren said while feeling something odd.

"Right, right it's weird and I also feel the same thing, it's like Aunt Rei going somewhere away from us" Lynel said and the moment she's done what she said, her parents already done washing the dishes and they didn't realize because they wait for Rei's reply. Meanwhile Rei wondering and thinking that this two are really sensitive about this matter but oblivious if it's not about their family concerns but then Rei didn't show any expressions and signs.

"Ha, ha I think it's because you've been away for us and you're just here for vacation right, Lynel and Ren?"

"We're not going back to J Country, Rei" El said.

"Me too Sis, we're not going back to T Country." followed by Mei

"See Aunt Rei, our family reunited again after 3 to 4 years" said by Ren and Lynel.

"Yeah and it's our first family reunion with Ken, Ren, Ellyn and Lynel" said Rei in calming voice but the adults notice something's off with her but they can't point what is it.

"Aunt Rei how did you recognize us right away? Our matching dress, Bro Ken and Bro Ren matching polo shirt are useless" Lynel pout.

"Ha, ha you want to know Lynel?" the kids nodded and curious how their Aunt manage to recognize them right away.

"It simple look, Lynel your wearing a cotton dress because you're skin is sensitive while Ellyn wearing the original one. For Ken the way you insert your polo shirt is very timid and Ren just insert it as long as it's tucked in."

"That's all?" the kids asked in chorus and Rei nodded. "We we're going to change and correct that hobbies of us and Aunt Rei well guess it again alright?"

"Go ahead and I will try" then the kids running to their parents room and change right away.

Meanwhile after the kids, Rei facing to the family and said in serious one.

"Ma, Bro El, Mei, Bro En and Lyn, I have something to tell after the kids sleep."

"You don't want them to hear it, Sis?"

"I'm afraid that they can't accept it"

"Just tell us with the kids around and don't let the kids misunderstand you. It's best that they know the truth rather than to be lied on purpose."

"But Ma, all of them are still young."

"I know Rei, but just let them know their parents are here, so you don't need to be worry. Do you understand, Rei?

"Yes Ma"

"Kids, don't run in the stairs when getting down"

"Oops sorry Aunt"

Meanwhile in the living room while Rei busy talking with the kids, the adults become serious and talk in a low voice.

"Ma, what do you think of Sis talking about?"

"I don't have any idea Mei"

"Maybe something working abroad?"

"How come both of you think about that one El and Mei?"

"What if getting married, El?" ask by his wife

"How about having a boyfriend already and expecting a baby My Mei?" ask by her husband.

All of them can't really point out what is it about but both Sister and Brother have a feeling that their Sister is possible thinking about working abroad, while thinking deep they heard the laugh of kids and Rei.

"Ha, ha stop acting and acting like a dumb Aunt, you already know who is who right?" said all of them.

"But I don't already know, after I point all your hobbies, all of you change and correct it right away so I don't know who is who"

"Then how about if you guess it wrong, you will have punishment"

"Good, good so what kind of punishment?"

"Kiss Mr. Vin infront of us"

After hearing them, she's glaring the adults whose seating in the living calmly and then Rei told them.

"All of you are still kids and young for that to see and to say that one. But what you mention about Mr. Vin is just my friend and nothing else."

"Really?" the eyes of kids lift up and shining bright after hearing it from their Aunt then when Rei nodded, they hugged her right away.

"Now, now Aunt tell us who is who."

"Okay, okay I will tell so ...from right to left, it's Ellyn, Ken, Ren and Lynel, right?"

"Geez, how did you know Aunt Rei?" Ren asked.

"Maybe it's because I'm already used with Mei, Bro En, Lyn and Bro El presence, so that's why I can tell who is who."

"Don't tell me that I have a presence like Dad?" Ken

Ken realized and then his brother and cousins realized something at same time.

"Me from Papa?" Ellyn

"Then Sis Ellyn, I have a presence like Mama." Lynel

"So in other words, me is like Mom?" Ren

Hearing this sentence from their kids both parents laugh and said it together.

"Kids, you just realize it now?" then all the kids pouting and nodded.

"Aunt Rei, Aunt Rei now we're here we can play everyday now and then, right?"

After hearing it from the kids, Rei become a gloomy all of sudden and then change her expression back. The kids didn't notice it because they we're to excited thinking how they will spend and play with their Aunt, but the adults noticed it all and didn't escape from their sight because the moment the kids asking her that one, they already pay attention to her.

Rei become silent for a while then changing the topic but enough for the kids to notice something's off.

"By the way kids, how's your life in J Country and T Country?"

As an oldest among them, Ken ask though he already know that they're thinking the samething.

"Aunt Rei is there something you've been hiding all along?"

Most of them gasp because this is the first time Ken ask her favorite Aunt in a serious tone but both Mei and Rei know why.

"Ken / Bro Ken" they scold him except Mei and Rei.

"Sorry Dad, Grandma, Uncle and cousins but I know deep inside that Aunt Rei is hiding something from us, even Ren, Ellyn and Lynel can feel it too, so Aunt Rei can you tell us what are you hiding is?"

"Sis, I think its time for you to tell us what have you've been hiding along and want to tell us."

"Yeah, Rei. You're my daughter so I know your hiding something but I can't point out what is it"

"Aunt Rei please tell us, please" Ren and Lynel ask pleadingly.
