"Mom, please stop, I can pack my own lunch," Jisoo says, pulling a zip lock of baby carrots from her lunch box.

"Of course you can Jisoo, but the baby needs real food not pudding packs." Eugene says, throwing the baby carrots back in her bag.

Jisoo rolls her eyes, it's been like this ever since her mother found out about the baby. She'd scheduled all sorts of appointments, claiming only the best for her grandchild. Eugene was a helicopter parent before but it's only gone up to a new level.

Quite frankly Jisoo is sick of it.

She can't complain though, she's lucky her mom is supporting them, their conversation could have gone a lot worse, had it been anyone else.

"You have a student council meeting today right? Do you want me to pack you a second sandwich?" Eugene asks, cracking a smile at Jisoo's furrowed brow.

"Mom, I'll be fine." Jisoo says.

"I just wanna make sure my grandchild is fed!" Eugene says, patting a hand against Jisoo's growing belly.

"Well you can wait until they're born for that, I can feed myself," Jisoo says, brushing her mom's hand away.

"Fine but at least cut back on the pudding," Eugene says, hands on her hips.

Jisoo crosses her fingers and puts them behind her back before agreeing. Eugene, satisfied, pats Jisoo on her cheek and grabs her keys, "Alright honey, I'm off to the hospital, if you need anything you have my pager number."

Jisoo nods, scrolling through Facebook. She hovers over the add friend button, before deciding "fuck it" and clicks it anyway.

Her request is accepted in less than a minute.

Jisoo smiles, leaning her cheek against her palm as she scrolls through Roseanne Park' profile. Gaining access to plenty of new pictures and posts. She 'hearts' a new profile picture then frowns at the next post.

'Happy Valentines day to the coolest girl in school'

She really hates Valentines day.

Jisoo sighs, then sets her phone down. She places a hand to her belly and says, "I've got my own valentine right here."

She checks the time and scrambles to grab her keys. She throws a baggy sweater over herself and hurries out the door.

Roseanne scrolls through her phone without a purpose. Until she gets a notification for a new friend request on Facebook. She grins, clicking accept right away, she scrolls through Jisoo's page, a smile fading through the sea of Valentines day posts on Jisoo's page.

Roseanne sighs and pockets her phone to get ready for the day. She throws on a hoodie and slips into a pair of basketball shorts. She slinks down the stairs, trying to sneak past Seojoon.

"Roseanne?"

Roseanne deflates, looks up to the ceiling wondering why her life has to be so difficult.

"Yeah?"

"We still need to talk." Seojoon says, looking up at Roseanne from the bottom of the stairs.

"You know this isn't the best time, I have to go to scho-"

"I'll call you off," Seojoon says.
