In the cozy dorm of BABYMONSTER, Asa and Chiquita found themselves alone for the afternoon. The other members, Ruka and Ahyeon, had gone out for groceries, while Pharita, Rami, and Rora were off to the laundromat. The usually bustling space now felt calm and serene, filled with the gentle hum of the air conditioner.

Asa glanced around the living room and noticed it was a bit messier than usual. With everyone else out, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to tidy up. She turned her gaze to Chiquita, who was lounging on the couch, flipping through a magazine.

"Canny," Asa began, her voice carrying a hint of a motherly tone, "we need to clean up the dorm a bit. It's looking pretty messy in here."

Chiquita looked up, her expression one of mild surprise. "Do we have to, Asa-unnie? I was just getting comfortable."

Asa crossed her arms and gave her a gentle but firm look. "Yes, we do. It won't take long if we both do it together. Come on, it'll be quick."

Chiquita sighed but got up from the couch, knowing there was no use in arguing. Asa's motherly side was in full force, and it was better to comply than to resist.

As they started tidying up, Asa continued to gently nag at Chiquita. "You can't just leave your things all over the place. We need to keep this space clean for everyone. And don't forget to dust the shelves; they've been neglected for a while."

Chiquita rolled her eyes playfully but followed Asa's instructions, dusting and picking up her belongings. Despite the nagging, she appreciated Asa's care and attention to their living space. It made the dorm feel more like a home.

After about thirty minutes of cleaning, the dorm was looking much tidier. Asa smiled, satisfied with their work. "See? That wasn't so bad, was it?"

Chiquita grinned, wiping a bit of dust from her hands. "Yeah, yeah. It does look nicer now."

"Great," Asa said, her tone softening. "Now that we've got that done, how about I make us something to eat?"

Chiquita's eyes sparkled with excitement. "That sounds awesome! What are you going to make?"

"I was thinking rice with toppings," Asa replied, heading to the kitchen. "It's quick, easy, and delicious."

Chiquita watched as Asa began cooking, the aroma of rice soon filling the dorm with a sense of home. As the rice cooked, Asa prepared a variety of toppings: sliced avocado, seasoned seaweed, sautéed mushrooms, pickled radish, and a soft-boiled egg.

"Here you go," Asa said, bringing two bowls over to the living room. She handed one to Chiquita and sat down beside her. Each bowl was a colorful array of toppings carefully arranged over a bed of steaming rice.

"Wow, this looks amazing! Thank you, Asa-unnie," Chiquita said, her face lighting up with a grateful smile.

They ate in comfortable silence for a few minutes, savoring the delicious meal. After a while, Chiquita leaned against Asa, resting her head on her shoulder. Asa's heart swelled with affection as she gently patted Chiquita's head.

"You know, Asa-unnie," Chiquita began softly, "I really appreciate how you take care of me and everyone else. It makes me feel safe and loved."

Asa's eyes softened as she looked down at Chiquita. "That's because you are loved, Canny. We're all here for each other, and I'll always be here for you."

Chiquita smiled and snuggled closer, feeling a warmth that only family could provide. The two stayed like that for a while, basking in the quiet, comforting presence of one another. It was a simple, yet precious moment, reminding them of the special bond they shared as bandmates and as sisters.
