"Jisoo! You're getting frosting everywhere!" Naeun exclaimed through giggles.

"I don't know how! Every time I touch something it's like it turns into frosting!" Jisoo replied slightly hysterical. She looked around the apartment's kitchen and deflated at the mess before them; a hand running down her face in stress. "Your mother is gonna kill us."

The little brunette giggled again. "Mommy's a big softy. She calms down after you say sorry and give her a kiss. Works every time," she explained with a grin.

The soldier chuckled as she tried to wipe off the frosting on her hands with a paper towel. "That actually doesn't surprise me."

"Can I have a cupcake now?" the little girl asked with wide eyes directed toward one of the newly frosted desserts.

"Only if I can have one too," Jisoo answered as she pulled off the paper wrapper and took a huge bite.

Naeun hurriedly copied the raven with a large smile. "Oh my God."

Jisoo's back immediately straightened before spinning around to see the woman who entered the apartment. "Hey, Jendeuk..."

The brunette slowly approached the kitchen, running a hand through her hair with her mouth hung ajar. "What- How-"

"It's really not as bad as it looks!" Jisoo blurted out with a forced smile.

"Really? Because it looks pretty bad..." Jennie replied, still in shock. Her finger wiped across a smudge of frosting off of the refrigerator.

"We were just trying to surprise you," Naeun said sheepishly as she played with her fingers in front of her; her head bowed to the floor.

"With a food fight? That I missed?" she looked down and groaned after seeing she had stepped in raw batter that had fell to the floor during prep.

"But we made cupcakes!" Naeun pleaded with worried eyes. Jennie's eyes locked with her daughter's before sighing.

Jisoo then began to grin next to the little girl, catching Jennie's attention.

"I asked Naeun here if she wanted to bake some cookies, and she said she wanted to make something for you instead. So we made purple frosted cupcakes. Apparently they're your favorite," she explained with a mischievous glint in her brown eyes.

The brunette forced a swallow as she felt her cheeks turn red. She quickly crossed her arms over her chest and placed her gaze on anything but the two in front of her. "I have more than one favorite, you know." Jisoo's grin grew even more. She wasn't convinced.

"We're sorry we made a mess, Mommy," Naeun interrupted.

Jennie looked back at her daughter, sighed and rolled her eyes before crouching down and holding her arms open. The little girl smiled sweetly before diving in for the hug. She leaned back and kissed her mom on the cheek.

When Naeun pulled away, she took a step back beside Jisoo again. She elbowed the raven and nodded toward her mother. The soldier raised a brow before understanding. She looked back up at Jennie.

"Sorry, Jendeuk. Don't worry. We'll clean it up," she said with a sincere smile before stepping forward. She leaned up and let her soft lips hit the porcelain skin on Jennie's cheek. She lingered a second too long before pulling back with that same mischievous glint from moments ago.

The shivers running up and down Jennie's spine were slowly tearing her apart. Jisoo was ever present in their lives as of late. It was becoming a constant. And Jennie absolutely loved how easily Jisoo fit into her life. She loved how well she got along with Naeun. She loved how everything suddenly became brighter now that she was around. What she didn't love? How little time she's had to be alone with the raven without passing out on the couch from exhaustion from having to run the cafe and keep up with her six year old all day. Jisoo had woken her up a few times after falling asleep mid-sentence, in order for Jennie to go sleep in her bed.
