i thought i told you to stay back.

i love you too much to let you get hurt like this.

this affects me, too, you know.

every time you leave, i sit up all night waiting, praying you'll come back alive.

you keep pulling stunts like this and something bad will happen.

do you have a death wish or something?

this isn't fair to me.

i deserve better than this.

i didn't get any sleep last night because i was so worried about you.

you promised me you'd stop going out at night.

i don't like hearing this.

you've been risking your life, and for what? so you can feel like a goddamn hero?

i said i would handle it.

what the fuck are you doing here?

you told me you'd stay put.

so much for laying low.

you remember how bad it was last time.

seems like you haven't learned anything.

i believe you promised me you'd lay low.

i can't keep doing this.

don't give me that look.

we'll discuss this later.

this stops now.

i'm tired of picking up the pieces once you've left.

you keep throwing yourself into danger.

you don't give a shit about yourself, do you?

i'm sitting here, worried out of my mind, while you're out doing god knows what.

that was really stupid of you, and you know it.

i thought you knew better than this.

what's your excuse this time?

you do realize what this does to me, right? seeing you get hurt like this? you know it hurts me, too?

you really don't give a shit how this affects me, huh.

that was the dumbest possible thing you could have done.

i need you to stop throwing yourself into harm's way.

that was completely unnecessary.

they had it handled.

you didn't need to step in like that.

why do you think you're invincible?

the last time you pulled a stunt like this, it nearly got you killed.

i can't just sit here and watch you get hurt.

what are you trying to prove?

you just like fucking with my heart, don't you.

this shit hurts me, too, you know.

you're not the only one affected by this shit.

you've got a lot of people counting on you to come home every night.

what happens if you don't come back?

you think we can just carry on without you?

you think i can handle things if you end up dead?

i'm not sticking around to watch you get hurt.

you're not even slick.

you think you're invincible, don't you.

quit pretending you've got everything under control.

let someone else do it for a change.

you can't keep putting yourself through shit like this and expect me to just sit back and watch.

i'm done with this.

next time you do this, i'm not coming back.

promise me this is the end.

look me in the eyes and tell me you'll stop doing this.

let the authorities deal with it.

you're making a big mistake.

is it worth dying for?

"Don't worry about it." Stephen says calmly. "Our parents like it when the house is full, and I'm glad I get to meet my little brother's friends."

Then, a woman came out of the house. She had long, black hair put up and an apron covering her dress, she looked older than Stephen, so it was safe to assume she was their mother. "Oh! Ming Te's friends!" She said sweetly. "It's a pleasure to meet you all. Please, come in!"

Amit offered Mrs. Kang a warm smile, adjusting the gift bags in his arms before inclining his head politely. "Thank you for having us, Mrs. Kang. It is a pleasure to meet you." The nervous formality from earlier lingered, though it had softened considerably now that the introductions were underway.

Beside him, Isla brightened immediately. "It's lovely to meet you!" she said warmly. "We've heard so much about Theo and his family."

Beatrice offered a graceful smile and a small, elegant curtsy. "Thank you for welcoming us into your home, Mrs. Kang. And happy birthday, Theo." Her gaze briefly swept over the gathering with quiet appreciation. "Everything looks wonderful."

Elizabeth smiled at the woman. “Pleasure to meet you, mrs Kang.” she says, politely, then turning to Theo and Beatrice.

She grabs the small gift bags out of her (enchanted) purse, and hands them to their respective recipients “happy birthday to the both of you, I didn’t want to squish them on the way over here with the other gifts.”

The brunette moved to stand with Isla, as the others began to move inside with them.

You're not supposed to ice them before you bake!

Taste this and tell me if it needs more cinnamon.

You have flour on your nose.

Hold still, you’ve got frosting on your cheek.
