Make It With You

24

Jisoo**

I woke up with a smile on my face. I was in Monique's bed again. This happens all the time-fall asleep on the couch, wake up comfortably in her bed. I stretched, stood up, and went outside the room to find her.

"Jagiya joh-eun achim!" (Good morning, honey!) Monique shouted from the kitchen.

I couldn't help but smile at the sound of her voice. "Still shouting when you greet? Just wait for Mina and Zoe to complain about you being noisy," I said, walking over to kiss her.

"Don't mind them," she chuckled, setting a plate of food and coffee in front of me. "Before you girls head out, have breakfast first. Here's your favorite: pancakes, sausage, blueberry cheesecake, and black coffee."

"What a good morning indeed," I smiled at her. "But where's your food?" I asked, eyeing her empty plate.

"I already had mine," she replied. "Went to the studio to meet my students, got hungry. By the way, Mina and I need to leave early to meet Irene and IU."

"Thank you for this, honey. Next time, let me help you prepare the food-I feel bad just eating," I said, feeling a bit guilty.

Monique smiled warmly. "Don't mention it, just eat, okay?" I nodded, thinking to myself that Monique and I were practically acting like a married couple. The thought made me smile even more.

"I think Jennie, Lisa, and Chaeng are still sleeping," she added.

"I'm here!" Lisa suddenly popped her head in. "Jisoo unnie, you're smiling like crazy," she laughed, interrupting my thoughts.

"Who will drive later?" Monique asked.

"I will," Lisa raised her hand with a grin.

"You drive safe, okay? And I beg you, Lisa, Jisoo, don't let Jennie drive," Monique chuckled. Lisa and I burst out laughing, recalling the recent driving incident.

Monique kissed my lips before she and Mina left, leaving me with Lisa, who immediately started teasing me.

"Yah, unnie, why isn't Monique unnie coming with us?" Rosé asked while sipping her coffee.

"She has a plan today too," I replied. "Jennie, can you help me bake a triple chocolate cake? I want to make one for Monique."

"Wow, unnie! You're that whipped," Rosé exclaimed, clearly shocked since she knows I hate cooking and baking.

"You're so in love with Monique unnie," Jennie teased, giving me a wink. "Don't worry, I'll teach you how to bake."

"Shut up, both of you," I muttered, rolling my eyes. "She always cooks for me. What you're all eating right now-she cooked that. I want to do the same for her."

I felt a warm rush of determination. I might not be a baker, but I was definitely going to try for her.

Lisa laugh. "You can't cook so that's why you let her eat you?" The three of them laughed at me pointing my hickey. "How was it, unnie?" Lisa added.

I blushed, my face turning a shade of red that could rival a tomato. "No, we are not going to discuss my sex life," I quickly said, trying to change the subject.

They all burst into laughter once again, clearly enjoying my discomfort. "Aw, come on, unnie, you started it!" Lisa teased, wiggling her eyebrows.

We pulled up to the StartUP bar, just about to get out of the car when-

"Jisoo, is that Monique unnie?" Jennie asked, her gaze fixed on a figure stepping out of a red Ferrari. The girl was wearing low-waisted, fitted black ripped jeans, a white crop top with a flannel tied around her waist, and Doc Martens boots.
