"Cute, Princess." He shakes his head and smiles at me. "And I do plan on buttering you up actually. Today I plan to continuously cater to you. With not just breakfast but the plans I have made for the day also. First, we are staying in this room until lunchtime. No leaving it whatsoever. I want to prove to you that I have no problem being in this room alone with you. But, I figured we could make lunch together afterward, and then I have a surprise."

"You want us to stay in here for hours?" I ask him for confirmation. When he nods I can't help but joke by saying. "Good thing I have a very luxurious bathroom then."

He blushes and chuckles as he realizes I wasn't poking fun at his plan. I was simply still on a humor kick from the previous joke.

"No, but seriously. I do have to at least tell everyone goodbye. It's routine at this point and I am never ever going to skip out on it." I forcefully vow.

He shakes his head. "That's taken care of too. They will be coming in here to tell you goodbye once they are done getting ready themselves."

"Does that mean you made them waffles too?" I ask curiously.

"Um. No. I didn't go to that much effort. There are still some of the frozen yogurt popsicles you made, and besides that they are each having a bowl of cereal.

I nod, but mentally remind myself to make more of those popsicles. Because since they were eaten two days in a row I know they will either be completely gone or almost gone at this point. That's the most difficult part about trying to feed seven males with hearty appetites.

"Wait. What about you? What are you eating?" I ask in concerned driven confusion.

"I already ate. I had to test out the first batch of waffles to make sure I made them okay. I had honestly never tried to make them before." He shrugs his shoulders.

That's when I remember something important. "Wait. We don't have a waffle iron!?!?"

He shakes his head. "I don't know if I should be thankful that I am doing a good job of surprising you, or scold you for not eating already. I sent out someone to buy one while I was at work yesterday. I brought it home and put it in the kitchen before you even noticed."

"Oh." I simply answer then turn to look at the waffles again before I pour the syrup over them. He's right I really should be eating. I was surprised to find this was the first time he ever made waffles. They were delicious and I couldn't help but devour them faster than I intended. Once I let him know I am finished he takes my tray away. I almost joke with him again, before he leaves the room, about the fact that he said we are both staying in here until lunch time, but I don't want to tease him any more than I already have.

While Jin is the one with the father-like sense of humor and windshield wiper laugh that doesn't mean he can take jokes quite the same way as the others. Hobi is easy to pick on, and I have been doing it since day one. I have also known since practically day one that Jin wouldn't take a joke like that the same way. To some degree or another they are each sensitive. But, somehow Jin has always struck me as a bit more sensitive when it comes to joking about himself. I feel like he doesn't have a problem making himself the butt of jokes, but that can't be said for when others make him the butt of their jokes.

Not long after he leaves the others all come in for their goodbye loves and well wishes. I wait for a few minutes and become momentarily confused why he isn't back yet. That's when I quickly deduce that he must be washing the dishes since it is a Thursday and Dasom won't be here today. I take the opportunity to quickly get a bit cleaned up before he returns. There is a part of me that wants to wear something feminine for him again, but since we are just lounging around the house it seems kind of silly to do so. I do decide to wear one of my newer hoodies and a pair of the leggings that Jiwoo had helped pick out on our initial shopping trip together.
