"Mimi!! Cakey weady!! Cakey all weady!" Ji squealed, clapping his little hands in excitement as he pranced in front of the oven ("Mimi!! Cupcakes ready!! Cupcakes all ready!").

"Are they baby? Did you hear the timer go off?" Jimin chimed as he kneeled down next to Ji.

"Uh... no. Bu Mimi I know"

Jimin giggled brightly at the toddlers remark "Of course you do sweetheart, and might I know how is it that you know?"

"Cuz cakey poofy and smell good!" Ji stretched out his arms to demonstrate how the cupcakes had expanded ("Because the cupcakes are poofy and smell good!").

"Oh my, aren't you just the smartest boy out here!"

Ji began to giggle and squirm as Jimin tickled his sides in appraisal "Mimi I no bweathe!" The toddlers ceremonious laughter echoed in the kitchen as his older brother picked him up and swung him around in his arms.

After the two had settled and their laughter turned from boisterous remedies to breathless puffs, a melodic timer began to ring from the speaker of Jimin's phone. Both boys turned to look at each other with unconcealed excitement.

As Jimin payed close attention to Ji turning the oven off, his mind began to wander to his absent lover. Where was he? And what had warranted his early leave this morning that Jimin himself hadn't even noticed?

"Mimi can we eat them now?" The three year old asked in urgency.

"No luv, they're still too hot! Why don't we take them out to cool down, then decorate them once they're cool enough?" Jimin suggested.

"Otay! We do that!"

"Perfect! Why don't you put these mittens on Ji so that you don't burn your hands when taking the tray out?"

"Ooo pweety" Ji exclaimed, holding his hands out so that Jimin could place them inside the mittens ("Ooo pretty").

Jimin had also put on some mittens in order to assist Ji in taking the tray out. Once they had placed the tray on the countertop, Jimin suggested that they watch a movie whilst waiting for the cupcakes to cool down.

Ji had quickly rushed into Jimin's lap and made himself comfortable as Jimin wrapped them up in a blanket. Every once in a while Ji would catch Jimin looking outside the window or towards the front door expectantly, only to sigh in question before turning back to the tv.

"Mimi"

"Yes baby?"

"U tinking bout papa?"

Jimin stilled momentarily, before smiling to himself "Was it that obvious, Ji?"

"Um, bery. Bu it otay, I was tinking bout Papa too. Wut u tink he doin wight now?" Ji tilted his head to look up at jimin ("Um, very. But it's okay, I was thinking about Papa too. What do you think he's doing right now?").

"I'm not sure prince, I wish he had told me before he left..."

"Papa tol me..." Ji stated, quickly piquing Jimin's interest.

Jimin's brows furrowed curiously "He... did?... When did he tell you Ji?"

"He no tell me where he go, bu papa say he no take long an he hab business to take cawe of" ("He didn't tell me where he was going, but Papa said he won't take long and he had business to take care of").
