Family Part I

“Why is it so quiet?”

Someone spoke up, clearly not reading the room.

Right now, Joke’s family was all gathered at the dining table inside the athlete’s lodging prepared by Thailand’s Boxing Association. Normally, there were sounds of people inside this house almost all the time, especially at the dining table which was the stage for many jokes and conversations.

The unusual atmosphere at this table was what prompted the youngest member of the house, who was the usual mood-maker during the meal, to make such a remark.

“Ya lil pup…”

And both parents immediately turned to call her with a stern voice.

“There’s no need to be so stiff. We’ll end up being rude.”

The eldest son, Jakkrapong, laughed at the unusual situation at hand.
