"I can't feel my arms," Lucas complained a few minutes later, following her to the refrigerator of the local. He was too whiny to be that big and strong.

"Sorry and thank you for helping," Lisa replied and opened it, Sana had left for her a corner free for the boxes of ice cream popsicles and the ice cream cake Lisa decorated for the occasion. "Where's Yuqi?" she asked, squatting down and starting to put the boxes inside as Lucas was passing them to her.

"Her friends take her off for a walk after school, she's angry as fuck with me because I told her I couldn't go and she will kick my ass when we meet," he said so calmly like he was used to it. Lisa could figure out why every time she saw them together they were bickering and fake fighting like they were more enemies than friends but they were still inseparable. "But," he then said with a proud smile. "I bought her such a good gift, you can't imagine"

Lisa froze.

A GIFT.

OH MY GOD.

Jungkook and she forgot to buy a gift the last Saturday. Did Jungkook buy a gift on his own? Did he?

"Keep doing this, I have to go," she pressed a box against Lucas's chest and ran down the corridor.

She opened the door, agitated and panicking, surprising Jungkook and Soomin. "Did you buy a gift?"

His face said it all.

"Oh f-frick!" he corrected himself in front of the kid.

"Yes! Frick!" Lisa nodded and then frowned. "Where's your mom?"

"Her shift in the restaurant starts soon so she left," he explained.

"She sent kissys kissys, mwaaah," Soomin said cutely, blowing kisses with her hands, and Lisa smiled a little to her.

But then she frowned more. "Won't she be here for Yuqi blowing the birthday candles?"

Areum looked like those moms that were capable to stop the world for their kids and she showed it through the talk they had, always mentioning Jungkook and Yuqi here and there.

"We did that this morning, my mom made a cake for her"

"What type of cake, Oppa?"

Oh, of course they did, that explained why Jungkook wasn't that morning working in the mural.

That was cute.

Too cute actually.

Especially for someone that spent most of her birthdays in an awkward but expensive party, in where no one really cared about the birthday but being there, talking about business or bragging about summer holidays in Paris.

It wasn't the moment to think about that, though. It was useless.

Lisa focused and interrupted their conversation about cakes. "We have to get her a gift, ASAP!" she shook her hands and checked the hour in her watch. "She must be having dinner now, so we have an hour to figure out what to do," and just when Jungkook was about to talk, her phone began to ring, it was Kai. "Hi!"

"I'm outside the karaoke, Noona," he said so Lisa remembered he was going to go for Soomin after finishing with his study group.

"Right, right, we're leaving, wait there" she nodded and hung up. "Soomin, your brother came for you"

Soomin frowned, pouting. "But I don't wanna leave"

"We have to leave," Lisa told her softly, taking her hand, but she pulled it away and hug Jungkook's leg.

"No, I don't wanna," her cheeks was puffy against his leg, pouty lips showing along with big eyes.

Oh no, it wasn't a good time for that.
