Year-end update hehe! I'll post it in advance since I still have work, and I plan to drown myself with good-read during the year-end vacation ^^ (Any recommendations? Besides from poems and thought catalog hehe). Cut it short, I want to consider the vacation as a real vacation by pampering myself. Hope you had a satisfying 2016 with me, my stories! Wish you all to have better years ahead! Aja, 2017!

"Nathaniel, Soyou" Jessica called out to the twins with a frown and her hands on her hips, giving her an intimidating look but the twins remained unfazed and even gave a big grin. Yugyeom and Taehyung already left after apologizing because they can't control the situation 
 

"We didn't make the house a jungle" Reasoned Nath 
 
 
"You didn't. But look at your faces, you two look like pigs in a pen" 
 
 
"It's chocolate" Soyou answered this time 
 
 
"Bathroom, Now. N. O. W. Now." Commanded Jessica and the twins left with a grin. She then cleaned the chocolates on the floor, the table, the counter, basically everywhere Nath and Soyou spilled them. 
 
 
The chocolate rush started with Nath's mischief. Soyou kept on asking him to do an errand (which he gladly do so) but craved for chocolates so they asked for Taehyun and Yugyeom's help with the fondue. They hesitated, but they were not the one to meddle they thought. Assisting the twins need is part of their job after all. 
 
 
"Oppa, I want bread" 
 
 
"Get it" He answered still focused on playing while Soyou already dropped her console and laid down on the couch 
 
 
"Get it for meeeee" whined her as she wiggles her legs 
 
 
"I don't wanna. Let's just play" 
 
 
"Breaddddddd" She continued to whine until Nath looked at her 
 
 
"Fine" He removed the console from his wrist and standing up to go get some bread 
 
 
"Juice too" She ordered again even if Nath already brought her a bread, sausage, cookie, and a water. 
 
 
"The kitchen is just there" He pointed to the kitchen but went for himself when Soyou only whined again "Lazy" He gave a knock on Soyou's forehead before sharing the stuffs he brought for the two of them. 
 
 
"Let's go out then" Soyou suggested 
 
 
"Where to?" 
 
 
"Buy chocolate and then use the one that fountains the chocolate" 
 
 
"We can't go out. You might see the scary ahjumma too" 
 
 
"We'll just buy at the Mart and plus, you'll be with me to hold my hand. She doesn't live near here too" 
 
 
"Fine" 
 
 
So Nath told Yugyeom and Taehyung about their plan and bought the fondue at the nearest Mart. 
 
 
"Where's the strawberry?" Asked Soyou after Taehyung plugged on the chocolate fountain and poured the fondue 
 
 
"Secret" He pursed his lips, still opening his banana and ready to eat 
 
 
"Can't oppa get it?" 
 
 
"You, be lucky that I miss you" He huffed and dipping his banana for a bite before complying again 
 
 
"Thank youuuuu!" Soyou smiled because Nath even washed it for her 
 
 
"You're welcome" He answered back and dipping his finger to the chocolate fountain and smudging it to Soyou's face 
 
 
"Wait for me!" Soyou ran after Nath with her hand full of chocolate fondue because she dipped it in the fountain. Yugyeom and Taehyung saw the chase so they tried their best to catch the two but the twins is lively and agile as if they're playing tag and whoever goes near, will get a chocolate smudged on his face. 
 
 
It stopped, somehow. Yugyeom said that he'd call Jessica so the two calmed down and started to eat again – smudges of chocolate fills their face, up to their arms and clothes. 
 
 
 
"Are you still playing?" Jessica leaned on the doorframe and watching the twins splashing water at each other "You know, hoggy could die if she ate a tiny bit of the chocolate" 
 
 
"That's why we didn't let her out of the playroom" Soyou stuck her tongue out 
 
 
"Just so you know, I sent a picture of the mess you made to your umma" 
 
 
"Umma won't be coming home, If she does, she won't remember and will just shower you with kisses and saying that she misses you" Answered Nath and Jessica scoffed "That happens everytime though …" 
 
 
"Whatever" She rolled her eyes accepting defeat before getting a towel for the twins "Go dry yourselves. Let's just have pizza and chicken for dinner" 
 
 
"At the park?" Soyou asked and grabbing her towel 
 
 
"Why would we eat chicken and pizza at the park?" 
 
 
"Let's bike!!" Nath nodded 
 
 
"You just showered" 
 
 
"We can just wash up if we turn stinky like umma" Soyou pleaded, followed by Nath, so Jessica had no other choice but to relent. 
 
 
"Fine" 
 
 
"Why aren't you dressing me up? Am I not your baby anymore?" Asked Soyou after picking her clothes but didn't want to put it on by herself. Jessica is just there watching them do their task 
 
 
"Don't do it mommy. She just want you to dress her up. She made me do all the errand this noon too" Nath quipped in before wearing his shirt.  
 
 
"Busted" Smirked Jessica "I was going to do it though" 
 
 
"Hmp!" Soyou scrunched her nose before dressing herself. Jessica helped her, especially with her hair. 
 
 
 
-- 
 
"I can't sleep" Remarked Soyou as she slumps down her parents bed while Jessica have decided to open her laptop to check some updates 
 
 
"Then, how can mommy be of any help?" Asked her, still focused on the laptop so she didn't see that Soyou laid on all fours with both of her hands cupping her face to come up with an answer "Of course you can't sleep, you ate hefty of chocolate and be lazy all day. I've heard that you bullied your oppa again" 
 
 
"I did not" denied her with a frown "Oppa pampered me because he said that this is the first time he's seeing me after days and that I have to go tomorrow with umma to work" 
 
 
"And you used that chance to bully him" Jessica took her eyes off the laptop and turned the swivel chair towards the bed where Soyou is "Do you like being the youngest that much?" 
 
 
"Of course! Like Aunt Soojung and umma. We always have someone to pamper us" Boasted her with her tongue stuck out. Oh how relatable is that answer – that she, Jessica, also wished that she has a sister or brother so that someone could take care of her. Too bad, she's the eldest. 
 
 
"Proud?" 
 
 
"Yes. I always thank oppa for being the eldest, and for taking care of me" 
 
 
"Your oppa is just a minute old from you. You should be nice to him too" 
 
 
"I am nice to him" She answered "I hug him, and give him kisses. I don't do that to my classmates" 
 
 
"You know how to answer now huh" Jessica dove unto the bed and locked Soyou in her arms, tickling her at her softest spot 
 
 
"Mo—Mo—Mommyyyyyyyyyyy~~!!" She shrieked and trying to spread out her limb to escape but failed. She's just as ticklish as her umma. 
 
 
Jessica blew on her ears as an final attack before slumping down on the bed beside Soyou "So, what do you want to do?" 
 
 
"Let's call umma!" Suggested her 
 
 
"I am actually waiting for her call. She said that she'd call me later at 11" 
 
 
"Then I'll wait for it" 
 
 
"It's still … 30 minutes before 11" 
 
 
"What is there for us to do while waiting?" Asked Jessica 
 
 
"hmm... What is that?" Soyou pointed to the box beside the lamp 
 
 
"Kit" 
 
 
"Then can mommy color my nails?" 
 
 
"Alright" she sat up before grabbing the kit and going back to the bed 
 
 
"But why do I not see you color ummas nails? You do it cleanly" 
 
 
Jessica smiled faintly as she thinks about why does Yoona never wanted to let her do her nails 
 
 
"Because of Wild Romance. You remember that right? The break up scene" 
 
 
"Yes" 
 
 
"She thinks that I might do the same so she doesn't want me to approach her with the kit. I even bought this right after knowing that painting each other's nails is a fluttering and a cute thing for couple to do" Jessica pouted 
 
 
"What color are you going to paint?" Soyou asked when Jessica is almost done cleaning the old paint off 
 
 
"What color do you want?" 
 
 
"I don't know, i have a photo taking with umma tomorrow" 
 
 
"What concept?" 
 
 
"Ceci" 
 
 
"Let's do it pink and blue. Like little twin star" 
 
 
"Sure" Soyou grinned 
 
 
"But only 4 is pink then the one is blue, okay?" 
 
 
"Okay" 
 
 
So Jessica painted Soyou's nails and when Soyou is already drying the paint, Yoona called already . 
 
 
"Tired?" Asked Jessica right after their facetime connected and saw Yoona's tired look 
 
 
"Not anymore" she smiled 
 
 
"Hi umma!" Soyou waved shortly and putting her hand back to the dryer  
 
 
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" 
 
 
"Because I can't sleep yet" 
 
 
"Because she bullied her oppa" 
 
 
"I did not" she furrowed her brows "umma, why aren't you sleeping?" 
 
 
"Because i want to talk to my wife" 
 
 
"I thought you have something to say" 
 
 
"None. Just want to take the opportunity since you're only home and is on a leave" 
 
 
"We still have work tomorrow" Soyou quipped in  
 
 
"What work?" 
 
 
"Photo taking" Soyou slapped her forehead before slumping down on the bed again with Jessica 
 
 
"Oh yeah! I forgot" 
 
 
"You have work?" 
 
 
"Nope, not until tomorrow" 
 
 
"Hmm" nodded Soyou and just laying down on the bed to let her parents do the talk 
 
 
"I miss you" Jessica pouted. She didn't want to utter those three words, especially when she and Yoona can't do anything about it - because she believe that uttering those words would only torment the both of them. She misses Yoona, and Yoona misses her back, but nothing could
