The house was pretty basic; not much that really caught her attention. There was nothing hidden in any drawers, no secret rooms in closets or a random stairwell behind a bookshelf. Nothing like that in this little house. Tatyana was hoping to find something the least bit entertaining or scandalous, but nothing. She spent a few minutes looking at the pictures he kept in his room of family and other people or things, but other than that she didn’t stop to look at anything. Maybe Taemin was as honest and straightforward as he seemed to be. That would be pretty disappointing if he was. A little mystery is always fun. After what seemed like a few more minutes, Tatyana shifted her sight to Korea and England. They were on their way back. Well, it took them long enough.
Alex seemed to be in more or less the same boat as Sam, and it made the boy a little happy. At least she was okay. She mentioned ice cream and Sam’s eyes lit up. Not because she mentioned ice cream, but because she had mentioned dessert. Sam loved dessert, but nothing more than brownies. It was his favorite. His oldest sister made the best ones and his mouth watered slightly at the thought of them. “You know,” he started to whisper back, “I’m not a huge fan of ice cream but you know what I love? Brownies.” Sam was still too full from dinner to actually eat a brownie, but even if there were brownies, he would definitely eat them. Sam didn’t expect Taemin to have all the food everyone wanted, and he hoped that the host couldn’t hear him and Alex. He didn’t want to ask for more out of someone who had already given the whole group so much.
