"Just add a little bit of vanilla for flavour and you're done!" woman on the other line said before she chuckled "what was this all about Jackson? is this an apology cake or something?"

"ah n-no, just... we've been through a lot and this is a little present... I guess" Jackson smiled, feeling kinda embarrassed.

"Okay then, call me if you need anything"

"Sure will, thank you Mrs. Tuan"

"No problem sweetie" and she hung up. Jackson exhaled and just as she said, he added vanilla to the mixture. He then mixed it again and proceeded to give it shape and bake it.

The thing about Jackson, that Mark didn't know, was that he was good not only at cooking, but baking as well.

Jackson called Mark's mom, because when he and Mark were chit chatting while cuddling (as they usually do) Mark said something about his favourite cake, which his mother baked with her recipe.



"Babe! I'm home!" Mark called out, closing the door behind. Soon he was met with smiling Jackson, who engulfed him in a tight hug.

"Your boss let you off today?" Mark was working his part-time-job as a bartender and Jackson was working as librarian's assistant.

"Yeah, he got the news that his wife was pregnant, so he was really happy, plus it's my birthday" Mark said, grinning.

"Aww, how cute, my little birthday boy~" Jackson said grabbing Mark's bag and taking it to the living room.

"Hey Jackie?"

"Hm?" Jackson answered without turning around, but he focused on getting his chip and coca-cola bags in trash.

"Don't you wanna adopt a baby when we get older?"

"Yeah... I do" Jackson said, his abcl still turned, but grinning ear to ear.



Mark was now sitting on the couch, waiting for ASC to start (it was his favourite show when he arrived in Korea, because they talked mostly in English)

"Happy birthday Markie~ happy birthday markie~" Jackson walked out with cake in his hands. Mark felt tingly, like his heart was a cotton candy, happy tears threatening to fall.



"Best, September ever, thank you so much baby, thank you so much Jackson"

He was straight out crying while cutting the cake, eating the blueberry (which fell while cutting) and humming in delight.
