Jack was coming down the stairs when he heard the sound of his front door opening. He paused for a moment and tilted his head, wondering who had opened the door. Because he was sure that Elsa had left about thirty minutes ago.

Once he heard the door close again, his curiosity arose and made him continue his journey down the stairs. And when he had reached the living room and could see the door, he found Kristoff standing there with a big grin on his face.

"Good morning, Jack!" Said Kristoff, excited. He spread his arms as if ready for a hug from Jack, but Jack just looked at his with narrowed, skeptical eyes.

"Morning." Said Jack. He crossed his arms over his chest and stopped right in front of Kristoff.

Kristoff lowered his arm and wondered when this neighbor would be in a good mood when he met him in the morning. His face always curled like a rag. But he decided not to get too carried away and stick to his goal of coming here.

"Uhm, I'm just reminding you that tonight there's a surprise party for Anna. So, don't forget, you and Elsa have to come, okay?" Kristoff said keenly, his thumbs sticking up and he couldn't stop smiling. He was very excited about this plan and determined that nothing would be able to ruin tonight's surprise party.

Jack thought for a moment and then, "Actually, I'm annoyed with your wife. Because of your wife, I'm always in a bad mood with Elsa." He said seriously.

Kristoff, who now knew the cause of Jack's sour face, only sighed softly. "Oh, it must be because you lost arguing with Elsa, right? I knew it would end like this. Listen, Jack. Marriage is not like playing a game at a playstation rental place." He said wisely. Mentally satisfied to be able to reverse Jack's words yesterday.

"My life is falling apart, you know that? Because every second, Elsa always reminded me that she won and I lost. Oh my God, how hard is this life." Jack dramatically brought his hands to his face. "And now, you're asking me to come to a surprise party of the person who caused all this to happen. Where should I put my handsome face?" He spread his fingers across his face and pulled it forward.

"Come on, Jack. Forget it. Is it that important?" Kristoff tried to calm Jack down. However, it seemed to fail.

"Oh yes. As important as that. You know, if there is one thing that can make me more excited about this life, is that, if I can find just a little bit of mistake from Elsa. And I can prove that she is completely wrong. Because I believe, she can't always be right. She must have been wrong about something too. I am sure of that. No one can always be right. Right?" Jack scratched his head with the tip of his finger, making his messy hair even more messy. His brows furrowed strangely as he tried to remember when Elsa had been wrong about something. However, he couldn't find any.

Kristoff patted Jack's shoulder, trying to lighten up the mood. "Come on, Jack. Just let it go. Do you want ice cream? I'll buy you one with macadamia nut praline topping. It's gonna be amazing." He tried to hold back his laughter when he saw Jack slowly turn his head towards him with narrowed eyes. He firmly believed that Jack thought he had seen him like a child who would calm down if he was given an ice cream.

But, Kristoff was completely wrong.

"No. Elsa will scold me if she finds out I eat ice cream in the morning. Nu-uh, not a chance." Jack wagged his index finger and shook his head, his lower lip sticking out.

Kristoff couldn't take it anymore. He laughed his ass off. "Okay, okay." He said between his laughs. "Anyway, tonight you have to come. Anna will be home at seven in the evening so you have to come before then, alright? Alright. Bye, Jack." He rushed out of Jack's house before Jack ran out of patience.
