The third point of view:
If it had been awkward earlier, it intensified after their weird eye contact. Ailee didn't talk about it and Neon didn't either, thankfully. None of them said a word to each other till they got home.
"Hi mom," Ailee greeted as soon as she made it inside. But to her surprise, Reina was all dressed up and in a hurry to leave for somewhere. Work probably.
"Going somewhere?" She asked calmly when her mom didn't give any response, obviously distracted.
"Oh yeah," Reina finally heard her, "An emergency meeting came up and now, I need you guys to get the kids from school,"
"Oh no," Ailee didn't know when she groaned out. She had been so relieved to escape this awkwardness with Neon only to be thrown back into it - the errand was for the both of them. The triplets were so notorious that it took more than one person to keep a watch on them.
