My Family's Secret Website

After a refreshing shower, Sohen went to the kitchen, where the mouthwatering aroma of fresh, healthy baked goods and something delicious warming on the stove already filled the air.

Standing at the kitchen island was Runo — his grandmother.

In her comfortable new housecoat, with her hair neatly pulled back and a light blush on her cheeks from the heat of the stove, she looked as elegant and attractive as ever.

Runo was chopping something, stirring, and humming a quiet tune to herself.

- (Me). "Good morning, Grandma."

The warm-hearted grandmother turned around, and her face instantly lit up with a warm, sincere smile.

Her eyes sparkled, and her mood seemed to improve in an instant.

- (Runo). "Oh, my dear boy! Good morning. You’re just in time; breakfast is almost ready."

Sohen stepped a little closer to receive his grandmother’s signature morning kiss, which, after the infamous "Valkyrie’s Law" and a few nights of "backup" with the door closed, had become what it always was... more family-like.

(~sound of a kiss on the cheek)

- (Runo). "Give me a few more minutes and my signature chicken fillets in cream sauce will be ready."

Sohen nodded and sat down at the table, watching her move gracefully around the kitchen.

- (Me). "Grandma, why are you alone today? Where are Mom and Phoebe?"

Runo, without looking up from the stove, replied calmly:

- (Runo). "For some reason, they’re still asleep. They must have gone to bed late, but they should be here soon."

- (Me). "..."

(How did it happen that they went to bed late, hehe...)

Sohen pretended to be surprised.

- (Me). "That’s strange. That’s not like them at all. Especially Mom, she always gets up early."

Runo just shrugged with a slight smile.

A few minutes later, two half-asleep beauties walked into the kitchen.

Karin was wearing a light silk robe, her hair slightly tousled, and Phoebe was in cute pajamas with eyes still a little puffy from sleep.

They both looked... tired, but very attractive.

(Oh, why not give it a try...)

Sohen, who suddenly had an idea, decided to "play around" a little.

- (Me). "And here are our sleeping beauties. You’re up late today. What happened? Were you two busy with something last night?"

Karin smiled softly as she sat down at the table.

- (Karin). "I was watching a TV show late into the night... I got hooked and didn’t notice how time flew by."

Phoebe nodded, rubbing her eyes.

- (Phoebe). "And I just couldn’t fall asleep... I tossed and turned all night."

- (Me). "..."

Sohen smiled maliciously to himself.

(Ha-ha... Yeah, right, "TV show" and "couldn’t sleep." Sure. Your lips on my cock — that must have been a really gripping "movie"...)

- (Me). "I see..."

He was struck by how natural they seemed.

Not a hint of nervousness, not a single glance to the side.

Karin and Phoebe looked completely convinced by their own words.

Sohen mentally applauded their acting skills.

(Real actresses... I would have definitely blushed or looked away, but they didn’t. It’s like they’ve been doing this for a long time... Damn. Yeah. Not the first time...)

From the last thoughts in his head, Sohen realized something...

(What an idiot I am! They’ve done something like this before, though on their own... Now that I think about it, Karin said something about "turn" last night... Also, what did those strange words mean when Phoebe walked in and stood next to her? How did she say it... IƎꓤOꓷIƎS, I think? Then there were those strange words from Karin. I might be wrong, but I think it was... Korean?... And then Phoebe’s camera and... If I think back to those strange moments in the past... Phew...)

Chaos in Sohen’s head suddenly began to gather momentum from new and new questions, but Runo put hot plates on the table just in time.

- (Runo). "Breakfast is ready, my dears. Eat while it’s warm."

...

Breakfast took place in a calm, even slightly cheerful atmosphere.

Everyone chatted about trivial things and laughed at Karin’s jokes.

Sohen also tried to act naturally, but questions kept swirling in his head.

After breakfast, everyone went about their business.

Runo got ready and said she was going to church, and then to a charity organization as a consultant on some matter.

Karin started cleaning the house, and later she was supposed to teach online yoga classes.

Phoebe went straight to her room... working on sewing projects for the website she shared with Maria.

Sohen, on the other hand, first went to his morning workout, then spent a few hours taking care of his own business, and when everything was done, he went to the living room to enjoy the spectacle on TV that would last a month and a half — the World Cup.

("Yeah, it’s the World Cup, bro, it’s the World Cup, bro...")

The FIFA World Cup finally kicks off today.

This is the first tournament of its kind in history to be jointly hosted by three countries: Iran, Pakistan, and Israel.

(Who would have thought that about twenty years ago, each of these countries simply hated one another with a passion and fought against each other for years, but now... there is calm, peace, and friendship between them. All three countries call themselves brothers and share similar political views. The hatred of the past seems to have evaporated from their genes, replaced by understanding and a vision for the future... A true miracle of the 21st century.)

The tournament promised to be the biggest and most ambitious in history — 48 teams, 104 matches, 18 stadiums, and nearly a month and a half of pure football madness.

(Oh, yeah!!)

Sohen leaned back, holding his phone with the group table.

The format had changed radically.

Instead of the usual 32 teams and 8 groups — there were 12 groups of 4 teams each.

The top two teams from each group, plus the eight best third-place finishers, would advance — a total of 32 teams in the playoffs.

This meant that even strong national teams risked being eliminated early, and there would be even more upsets.

In just an hour, the first opening match between Pakistan and Cameroon will begin, but first — a spectacular opening show to kick off the day.

He had barely turned on the sound when Karin and Phoebe walked into the living room.

Both were dressed in light, casual clothes: Karin in a thin silk robe that softly hugged her mature curves, and Phoebe in short shorts and a loose T-shirt that highlighted her youthful firmness.

They weren’t dressed provocatively, but they looked so attractive on their own that Sohen couldn’t help but tense up.

- (Karin). "Oh, you’re already here! Hehe... Phoebe and I want to watch the opening too. The show is supposed to be beautiful."

Phoebe plopped down to my left, pressing a little closer than necessary.

- (Phoebe). "I’m not really into football, but the singers’ performances and all that beauty... I’m definitely going to watch, hehe..."

- (Me). "..."

Sohen nodded, trying to keep a straight face.

(I hope they don’t show me a different kind of... show.)

...

The opening ceremony began with a spectacular visual spectacle at the People’s Football Stadium in Karachi.

The cameras showed incredible and varied scenery.

The atmosphere was festive and energetic.

The first to take the stage was the popular Pakistani singer, Elona Brondyu.

Her powerful voice filled the stadium as she performed "My Fight" in a special arrangement with football themes.

Karin and Phoebe exchanged admiring glances and commented on the costumes and lighting effects.

Sohen tried to follow the show, but his attention kept drifting to the women beside him.

(Calm down... Calm down...)

Karin leaned back slightly, her robe parting slightly across her chest.

Phoebe tucked her legs under her, and her thigh accidentally brushed against Sohen’s leg.

Ordinary, everyday movements, but after last night, when their lips had worked on him in tandem, every touch like this sent a hot wave through his lower abdomen.

(Damn it!... Get a grip, you idiot.)

Next, Tamiran Kara, Mehmedi Marez, and Justin Taa took the stage.

The latter performed a classic Pakistani melody in a jazz style, and then, together with everyone else, a special song dedicated to the tournament.

Next came performances by Kakuzito and Jennifer Porco with dance numbers, laser visuals depicting the history of football in Asia, fireworks, and mass dancing on the field.

Everything was wonderfully organized — grand, vibrant and emotional but at times it seemed a bit boring to Sohen, since he was waiting specifically for the football.

For Karin and Phoebe, however, the show was perfect: they enthusiastically discussed the costumes, sang along to the choruses, and commented on the beauty of the production.

Sohen tried to relax, but the presence of the two beauties beside him created constant tension.

Memories of the past few months... wouldn’t leave him alone.

(Damn it, "Sohen Jr."... get lost! Your time will come later...)

Lust was the main emotion, but many others mingled with it.

(This is... Phew... Total madness...)

Finally, the opening show ended with a grand finale featuring all the performers on stage.

Karin stretched, smiled softly, and stood up.

- (Karin). "That was beautiful!... Well, Phoebe and I are going to go about our business. We won’t get in the way of you cheering."

Phoebe nodded, casting a quick, slightly playful glance at Sohen, and the two of them left the living room.

Sohen finally exhaled in relief.

The silence and solitude brought true peace.

(Now... just football.)

...

The first match of the day, also the opening match between Pakistan and Cameroon at the People’s Football Stadium in Karachi has already kicked off.

(Let’s go!!...)

Pakistan played with the enthusiasm of a home team.

Bihari Da Alzaga, despite recent health issues, started the match and immediately began creating danger on the right flank.

Cameroon, with the experienced Muteba Hogenba leading the attack, played with discipline and counterattacked.

The first 15 minutes were evenly matched: plenty of battles in midfield, several dangerous crosses from Pakistan, and one good chance for Cameroon when Muteba Hogenba headed the ball after a corner kick — Pakistan’s goalkeeper stretched to make a spectacular save.

(Pakistan’s goalkeeper is simply Spider-Man!...)

In the 22nd minute, Pakistan opened the scoring.

Bihari Da Alzaga made a phenomenal run down the wing, crossed into the center, and one of the midfielders fired a precise shot into the far corner — 1:0.

The stadium erupted.

Sohen involuntarily jumped up from the couch and shouted:

- (Me). "The first one’s in!..."

The game became even more dynamic before halftime.

Cameroon equalized in the 38th minute off a set piece — Muteba Hogenba headed in the cross.

1–1.

Pakistan tried to take the lead again, but the first half ended in a tie.

Commentators praised the pace, the physical battle, and the atmosphere in the stands.

(A good start...)

Sohen leaned back, satisfied with the first half, but as soon as the break began, his phone rang.

- (Me). "???"

He glanced at the screen and... was surprised.

(It’s...)

The display showed a name he hadn’t seen in a long time.

(This person hasn’t called me in ages... What a surprise.)

Sohen smiled and quickly pressed "Answer."

- (Me). "It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen this number on my phone. I’m glad to hear your voice again... Grandpa, Shen Mao."
