Presley hovered around Jin, watching her grandfather put the finishing touches on their Sunday lunch. "So, what all's in this?" Presley asked, slightly worried about the unknown dish her grandfather had chosen to make.

"Cheddar cheese, butternut squash, zucchini, onion, mushrooms, red peppers, and chestnuts." Jin answered, looking up at his granddaughter. "But don't worry, I'm making chicken nuggets for Adam and there will be plenty enough for you too."

Presley knew then that her wariness about the new food was showing on her face. "I'll still try it." She put a smile on her face. "You always make really good food, so I'm sure this will be good too."

"Thank you, sweetie~" Jin wrapped his arm around his granddaughter and pressed a kiss to the top of her head. "Just don't pretend for my sake. I understand if you can't handle it."

Presley helped him set the table until her dad walked in the room with his cell phone in his hand. "Chloe wants to talk to her Grandpa Jin."

Jin then abandoned his granddaughter in lieu of snatching his oldest son's phone out of his hands and pressing it to his ear. "Chloe Lily Kim, do you know what you are doing to this poor old man's heart?! Leaving to go all the way to Arizona for college!"

"How is Chloe?" Presley asked, already missing her older sister even though it'd only been a few days since the family had their road trip to Flagstaff, Arizona to move her into her dorm. "She hasn't answered my text yet."

"She slept in and just woke up." Yoongi said, dispelling the small worry Presley had that her older sister was blatantly ignoring her. "She's ready to start her classes tomorrow." He moved to help his youngest daughter finish setting the table before the two of them headed to set up the kids' table in the living room.

When they entered the room, Sophia was just finishing up talking to Chloe and passing the phone on to Namjoon. "Hey, Pres~" The woman walked over to her daughter to talk to her. "Chloe said that she's planning on going over her syllabi and preparing for her first day, but that afterwards she'll text you and help you start planning your quinceanera."

Presley's smile faltered a bit, but she responded with, "Oh, great! Can't wait!"

Presley was busy reading the assigned section in her civics textbook when something broke her concentration. "Psst~" She looked up and realized Jacqueline Lazaro, a girl she had known since elementary school but was never particularly close to, was the one trying to get her attention. "Finally, I've been trying to get your attention for, like, five minutes." Presley just continued to stare at her, waiting for her to get on with whatever it was she wanted, the majority of her believing the girl was just going to ask her to do her work for her, as that was the reasoning for 90% of their conversations. "My older sister said that she saw your older sister tweet about helping you plan your quinceanera." Presley's eyebrows furrowed slightly, both from having not expected that and also from not understanding why she was bringing it up. "I just wanted to know if you needed anyone for your court."
