@❖ stephanie hwang //grins brightly at your cheeky jokes/
Oh shush you, honey. No meal tastes as sweet as one cooked with love. I bet even the shrimp would agree.
//hungrily eyes the food until you slide into my lap, my eyes catching sight of an entirely separate meal as I spot your grin/
Aaah, that kind of time
//carefully plucks the grape from your fingers, ensuring I let my lips brush your fingertips with a gentle kiss. It is a brief one, lingering not longer than a heartbeat before I pull back, a sincere expression upon my face as I whisper/
Your time is the very best gift I could ever get, my buzy bee. I know how hard it is to acquired.
And as such-
//I continue on, hands moving up to gently massage your thighs/
-I shall not let a single moment of it go to waste. So, despite it being father's day- What does my queen desire?

//kisses your cheek as i round the table/
Ta-daaaa~
I know, I know, I am not the best cook. Never was. But if a shrimp could fry this rice - so could I, right?
//grins at the silly joke we used to repeat for weeks back in my teen days and makes you sit behind one set of food/
The fried kimbap is something new I tried, so I hope it's good. And the salad and fruit balls are... not really cooked, but it's the thought that counts! I'm sorry, I wasn't good with gifts ever, but I wanted to spend time with you, just us, for this father's day. Lord knows we don't spend enough.
Oh, and the ramyeon is... because I hope, you wanna eat ramyeon at my place?
//grins again and slides into your lap mischievously, taking a grape from the fruit bowl and holding it against your lips/

[korean expression "라면 먹고 갈래? - Do you want to eat ramen at my place? (ramyon mokko gallae)": The expression is similar to the English expression 'Netflix and chill'.]

@✵ ohm pawat⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ "So I've been told." He grinned cheekily at him before his expression turned into another disgusted one as he threw a napkin to Ohm lightly "And that is just plain gross. But that aside, your proposition sounds good. Not to mention you're right about my partner being amazing and smart. So of course, It'll be an honor to be the first guest there. I guess we're cooking some Thai food?"

@✵ nichkhun horvejkul⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ He shoots his older cousin a brief look of annoyance though there was truly none at all, “such a nagger.” With narrowed eyes the thai singer opened his mouth to reveal the horrid sight of chewed amd mashed up food in his mouth before swallowing. “Are you happy now, mom? As i was saying, proposition as in- your amazing and incredible- smart partner gave me the go ahead to have my own segments! It’s in the process of development, i call it “ohmnoms” where I invite guests and we try to cook. And of course I want my big cousin to be my first guest. So, what do you say?”

@✵ ohm pawat⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ As Ohm speaks with mouth half full of food, Khun gave him a little disgusted face then fetching a napkin for the younger boy to wipe his mouth while shaking his head, mentally glad that his little princess is fast asleep so she wouldn't have to see such ungraceful scene at a very young age. "Finish chewing first then we'll talk about that proposition. I'm intrigued."

@✵ nichkhun horvejkul⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ Hearing the reluctance and dread in his cousins voice has him pausing mid bite, “oh come on, you know the worst grandma will do is complain once we leave. auntie and mom will be thrilled, plus your favorite cousin will be there to have your back.” He gives nichkhun a reassuring smile and then dives back into the food on the table, taking a bite of everything on the table. “But,” he starts again, mouth half full, “I get it. You don’t want your relationship scrutinized in any sense, that’s family for you though. Speaking of family and you becoming a better cook, i have a proposition for you.”

@✵ ohm pawat⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ At the mention of family, Khun couldn't help but to sigh. He knew that both of their family are dying to meet the newest addition to their family although what he didn't want to hear was the question about his relationship with Tiffany. "I want to visit them too with Fany and Eve. But I bet they would frown when I said me and her haven't get married yet. Especially grandma. You know how traditional she is." He said while watching his cousin eats, a hand stretched out to pat Ohm on his head. "Yeah yeah, I know my cooking is that bad. But I can proudly say that skill is getting better."

@✵ nichkhun horvejkul⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ “Mom has been wanting to see her. The family in general wants to see her but also you. They keep asking when we’re coming back to visit,” he says conversationally, grabbing a fork and spoon to immediately dig into the rice and curry. He shovels a large bite into his mouth , his face twists feigning disgust, “ew this is gross- kidding,” he jokes before chewing and swallowing. “It’s actually really nice, so you definitely didn’t cook it.”

@✵ ohm pawat⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ "Well, I'm proud of my achievement. Its a good thing. Sometimes." Khun then pointed to the nursery room where the baby's currently sleeping oh so soundly. "Yep. Just finished her milk a lil while ago and now she's being the good princess that she is by sleeping." Following the younger one to the dining table, Khun took a seat across Ohm as the laughter came out from him, remembering how he boasted his /cooking/ to his family but forgot to throw the delivery evidence. "Try it to find out and guess."

@✵ nichkhun horvejkul⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ “Always a prideful one,” he hums with a smile and then confusion overtakes his features, “speaking of, where is my baby cousin? sleeping?” he asks while doing as told, his attention shifts towards the dining table where he sits across the table. “It smells good, Did you make all of this or did you order take out like you used to do for family gatherings and /say/ you cooked it?”

@✵ ohm pawat⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ "You make it sounds like I'm a free loader. I pitch in half of the price too and we agreed to share the ownership. And I think we're going to give it to Eve later when she's old enough. I made quite enough back when I was an idol and as producer too." Khun ruffled Ohm's hair while chuckling as he sets the bags down and gesturing to the dining table. "Come on, lets eat before it gets cold."

@✵ nichkhun horvejkul⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ Ohm greets him with a large grin and a slight roll of the eyes, “you can complain when /you/ buy me a gift. you will take my present regardless.” it was surreal in a sense despite his natural state of comfort with his cousin, how easily it was for him to no longer have the nagging feeling of anxiety once he saw nichkhuns face again after so long. it was only natural of course, ohm had been pestering the elder since he was old enough to speak. the last they had seen one another , nichkhun had congratulated him on passing his dsf audition. that’s been nearly three years ago and now ohm he’s taller than the producer
anyways, this is such a nice place you guys have. mom would flip if she saw you and all your wealth now
he steps in, pushing the bags into his cousins chest while marveling at the sheer size and expensive decor. i might have to marry a ceo in the future if it means living like this

@✵ ohm pawat⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ Hearing the knock on the door, he immediately made his way to open the door while shaking his head in amusement. "I just hope you don't bring something weird as a gift, kiddo. Come on in. The food is all ready." He said as he stepped aside to let Ohm inside the penthouse. It has been quite awhile since the last time he saw his cousin and to see him all well was a good feeling. "How was the practice?"

@✵ nichkhun horvejkul⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ the cousin duo had agreed on 6:00 that evening and ohm arrives exactly at 5:59 on the dot. he gives his usual three knocks against the penthouse door with one hand while his other holds two gift bags
Nichkhun, hurry, i come bearing gifts and if you’re slow you’re not getting yours

@✵ ohm pawat⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ -hums as I finished platting all kind of Thai food I could find in food delivery app on the dining table while waiting for the guest to arrive. Glances at the baby monitor which shows the sleeping Eve inside her crib and smile almost automatically. Takes a seat on the living room, yawning a little- hope he comes soon.

@✵ minatozaki sana⁻ᵐᵘᵃ the older hums in appreciation, turning to sit sideways so she was facing the beautiful girl in her seat, feet tucked to the side, nodding away as the younger speaks about productivity.
There is a slight tug at her heart, when the other mentions stagnation and needing something of her own, the feeling all too familiar and she braced herself for news that... never really came. "Sana!" she quickly corrected herself after the initial exclamation "Ah, I mean, Sana-ssi! You had me almost at a cardiac arrest here! I thought I was going to need to find a new MUA." she laughs, a hand over her chest, before getting together and smiling eagerly at the girl "Of course you should release your own brand - being under DSF contract does not ban you from that! Jessica had, and still has, her own brand; Chrystal has her own branch, hell - even Mina has her own line, I'm actually concerned as to why do we have 3 fashion lines and 0 make up brands. I cannot stress more - you are more than encouraged to release your own make up line, DSF will stand fully behind it and support you completely, you can have all the idols and trainees at your disposal, if you need models and ambassadors. And if you like them, of course" she grins at the last part "You do realize now you have to tell me all about it, right? Oh, I'm such a y host, I never offered anything to drink - what would you like?"

@✵ stephanie hwang she slides her shoes off at the door and puts them in the designated area before following Tiffany further into her penthouse. sanas eyes linger on the the expensive minimalistic decor briefly and then sets her attention back to the ceo, taking a seat when gestured to do so. “Well good, as a first time mother I’m glad it’s been going swell. It’s really good you’re able to have a personal life like this,” there’s a small smile on her lips as she fidgets with her pink acrylic nails. “Honestly, I don’t mind being busy. It’s good. Makes me feel productive. Honestly, I won’t waste your time trying to beat around the bush. When I left japan, i left for many reasons but one of them was feeling stagnant in my career. Mina is thriving here and by her good grace she let me be apart of that. I love her, she’s… she’s family you know? But, i feel like I’ve always just tagged along on her journey. which of course i don’t mind, but i want something specifically for myself. I’ve been thinking a lot and i know I’m under contract with dsf right now… i think I’m at the point in my career where i want to release my own brand and line of makeup.”

@✵ minatozaki sana⁻ᵐᵘᵃ "Keep me for as long as you like, honestly, I am not allowed to go to the office and actually meet people, so you are very welcome." with a rehearsed move she closes the door and opens a cabinet to make space for the guest to leave her jacket and bag
"For all the complaining I do, i've actually been great. Evie is actually not a troublemaker at all, she likes to sleep a lot, so I can rest too. Nick has been a great help of course, and just before she left Jessica was by my side at every free moment, so I was covered on all ends. I have to count my blessings to be honest." she lead them both into the living area, securing the baby in a cradle by the couch, before making herself comfortable and motioning for Sana to do the same "Sit, sit, tell me how are you doing, I know there has been so much work lately with comeback season looming behind the corner... Are you resting well?"

@✵ stephanie hwang she was greeted by a far less professional looking ceo with her baby cradled in her arms. her heart squeezed a bit at the wholesome sight- well as wholesome as messy hair and throw up stained shirts go. she beams brightly at the other and happily returns the embrace before stepping in fully . “Oh please. it was nothing, lovely. I promise I won’t keep you to long.” she turns her attention to the baby in her arms and makes a silly face briefly. “Ugh babies are cute. how have you been?”

@✵ minatozaki sana⁻ᵐᵘᵃ [oh wow and in 3rd, woof okay let me get my brain--]

with one hand cradling Eve on her hip, Tiffany had learned to maneuver solely depending on her free right hand, so that's what greeted Sana when the door was open, the elder woman immediately extending an arm towards her to bring her for a hug "hello, miss lady, how have you been? By the way, i never got to thank you properly for the cutest gift you sent Evie, thank you so much, we used it all the time. i'm still using the sock even, look, look." she wiggled the baby's little feet and then moved away from the entryway "make yourself at home, i'm so glad to have guests over!"

@✵ stephanie hwang () i posted I forgot to tag like a

@✵ minatozaki sana⁻ᵐᵘᵃ a nervous hand comes up to press the buzzer to Tiffanys apartment aka her boss’s apartment- condo. It’s just as luxurious as Mina’s. on her way up the front desk lady had even asked if she wanted a mint! A freaking mint! It made her feel as though she was lavish and fancy as well, but not yet. yet. and that is exactly as to why sana had shown up in her best business casual blazer, white satin blouse and her slacks, to present her boss with an idea she had been mauling on for quite some time.

@✵ stephanie hwang @✵ jessica jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ [h-03.03] -shakes my head in amusement as I make my way to the kitchen-
I'll get your milk then baby. You two should get cozy. I'll bring the drink later. Coffee for you, Jess? Or do you want orange juice instead?

@✵ stephanie hwang @✵ nichkhun horvejkul⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ follows behind kyun and sets the huge bouquet down on a side table on their way towards the nursery; a small gasp falls from her lips when Tiffany and eve come into sight.
oh my god, look at you
smiles largely, carefully taking her best friend into her arms for a brief but warm hug.
Hello miss evie, you look so cute in auntie sica’s designs. yes, you do
/she coos , heart overwhelming full with affections as she looks at her newborn niece
could’ve been better, i can’t believe I wasn’t here when she decided to finally come
/whispers a soft traitor towards the baby bundled in tiff’s arms before laughing also looking back at khun and then tiff once more
Ah, are you feeding?

@✵ nichkhun horvejkul⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ @✵ jessica jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ .

//barely contains a squeal as i turn to the door, having just picked up Eve after dressing her in a fresh pair of rompers after changing/
Jesssssssyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy~~~~~~~~
//coos and takes Eve's little hand to "wave" to her/
Look who is hereeeeee, say hiiii~ Oh, darling, so glad to see you back, you travelled safe and well?
//does that weird nudge into a hug, when i cant open my arms, holding the baby with both of them/
Look who is wearing her auntie's rompers~ It was such a thoughtful gift, Jess.
Should we go have a cup of coffee?
//looks at Nichkhun and then the kitchen, before correcting myself/
We'll you'll be having coffee and I'll be breathing in the steam and watching you, living my life through you.
//chuckles as i rock the little bundle on my arms/

@✵ stephanie hwang @✵ jessica jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ -lets out a chuckle at you before stepping aside, gesturing you to come in-
I'm sure baby Eve and her mom would be delighted to see you. Come on in. Fany is in the nursery room. Just finished changing yhe little princess' diaper
-walks first to lead you to the nursery room, knocking on it just as i open it-
Baby, Sica's here

@✵ nichkhun horvejkul⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ peeks her head out from around the bouquet with a large smile painting her lips
hi! surprise! auntie sica has arrived to see her baby niece.

@✵ jessica jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ -passes by the front door after i went to kitchen and hears the knock, wondering why the other person doesnt ring the bell. Walks over to the door to open it only to come face to face with a huge bouquet-
Uh... hello?

steps out of the elevator and excitedly makes her way to the door of tiffany and nichkhun’s penthouse. she gives the door three gentle knock ,just in case the baby was sleeping. She hides her face behind the huge bouquet in hand decorated in with different hues of pink roses and baby bear accessories as a surprise.
