-Only the candles are missing, honey, have you seen them? - Asked from the kitchen.

-They are in the first drawer of the blue shelf- I answered.

I buttoned HakYeon's shirt and let him continue playing with his sisters. Today was their birthday party, their first year. They did it two days ago, but we could not do the party during the week. The guests would arrive at any time. Apart from the family, the couples we met at the doctor with their respective children will come, their age was not very different from ours.

The bell rang and I got up to open it. It was Nayeon. Mark came at lightning speed without even being able to see him well.

-I'm sorry, he has the mania to run lately- she said hugging me- How are you?

-All right! All right! A little tired, but good, how are you? - I smiled as I closed the door.

-As well, tired, needing a vacation- She sighed and sat down in one of the armchairs.

-We should plan some- I said nodding- Of ... several months.

She laughed and nodded in the same way. Jennie left the kitchen to greet her and they started talking. Mark was sitting on the floor with the children.

-Hello little- I said approaching.

-I'm not little anymore, Aunt Lisa - He said correcting me.

-Oh, I'm sorry- I laughed- Hi, big man!

-Hey aunt- He answered smiling.

He was so big! I wanted to stop the time every time I realized how big they were. Mine were about to walk, I do not know what I would do when they did. They already had me crazy now without doing it.

People were coming and my house was filling little by little. We had snacks of all kinds, colors and sizes. They seemed to be enjoying everything, and especially my children. All raised. They were the stars of the place.

-Lisaa- Jennie said taking me by the waist- Can you help me with the cake?

-Of course, love- I answered smiling.

We went to the kitchen to get the cake, we just put the candles, and we took it to the dining room table. We called everyone, it was time for the birthday song. I fitted 3 chairs in front and I got the children one by one. Jennie tried to keep them quiet, but it was practically impossible, they were really hyperactive.

Everyone started to sing, meanwhile my wife and I supported the children. Naeun looked at everyone and smiled applauding. HakYeon was always the most distracted. And finally Hye looked at everyone with a frown, confused.

-Let's go littles! Blow the candles- Jennie said encouraging them.

They still could not do it so we ended up doing it ourselves.

-Bring the cake, bite the cake! - TaeYang said clapping.

-Jennie? - I asked laughing.

-Yes! On behalf of our children- she answered excitedly.

-C'mon, darling, sacrifice for the country- I said nudging her.

-Do it! Do it! - He said laughing.

-Do it! Do it! - I answered.

I was lucky that Tzuyu was with her new boyfriend distracted as if to encourage me to do it, and in her place was Tae and Nayeon who pushed Jennie more and more to do it. My wife resigned herself, and I saw her face stamped on the strawberries cream that the cake had. She stood up and her lips were parted, indignant at the force with which she was pushed.
