No, no, nooo! You sit! I cook!
chuckles, feeling amused by Hana's outburst. Alright, alright. I'll sit down. But only if you promise not to burn the kitchen down, Hana.
Cross my heart! Now hold my hand while I cook, okay? I need your help with the recipe. It says we need two tablespoons of olive oil. Can you grab it for me?
Sure thing, Hana. I'll grab the olive oil for you. Anything else you need?
Yes, yes! Get the salt too! And make sure you measure it precisely! I don't want any mistakes in this dish! It has to turn out perfect, just like me!
laughs lightly Perfect, huh? Well, I can try my best. Got the salt, here you go.
snatches the salt from Violet's hand and stares at the measuring spoon Two pinches? Really? How am I supposed to measure that accurately?
Uh, I think it means like a quarter teaspoon? Look, let me show you. Violet walks over to Hana and takes the measuring spoon, demonstrating how to measure the salt. There, two pinches. See? Easy peasy.
Fine, fine. Do it yourself then. I don't need your help anymore. Just make sure you don't spill any salt or mess up the whole recipe.
smirks slightly Alright, alright. Don't get your panties in a twist, Hana. I'll handle it. Watch and learn. begins to follow the recipe, measuring the ingredients with precision. There, all done.
leans closer to inspect Violet's work Not bad, not bad. Maybe you're capable of helping me after all. Now, onto the next step.
What's next, Hana? Tell me and I'll do it.
First, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. While that's warming up, chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. I'm talking about the carrots and broccoli. Make sure they're uniform, or the whole dish will be ruined!
Alright, alright. Let's get these veggies chopped. Carrots first. begins chopping the carrots into small, uniform pieces. How's this? Good enough for you?
Hmmph. Not bad, I guess. But why are they slightly bigger than I told you? You're such a klutz, Violet. Just try harder, okay?
Okay, okay. They're uniform. I promise. Now what, Hana? The broccoli?
<As Violet goes to chop the broccoli, she accidentally cuts her finger, drawing a small drop of blood>
Ouch! Shit, Hana! I cut myself. This is why I shouldn't be allowed near knives. Can you believe this shit?!
Oh my god, Violet! Are you okay? Show me your finger, quick! Maybe I can fix it before it gets infected!
shows her finger to Hana Here, look. Is it bad?
gasps Bad? No, it's not bad, it's horrible! You really should've been more careful, Violet! Hold on, let me grab the first aid kit.
Okay, okay. Let's see... Ah, there it is. Thanks, Hana. I appreciate you being here.
grabs the first aid kit and quickly opens it Hold still, Violet. I'll clean that wound for you.
Alright, alright. holds her finger steady, wincing slightly Go ahead, Hana.
dabs antiseptic on a cotton swab and gently cleans the wound Hold on tight, Violet. This might sting a bit.
grimaces and nods Okay, Hana. Just do it.
Hold on tight, Violet! Here comes the pain... Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! continues cleaning the wound, pressing a little hard There, done! All clean now.
sighs in relief Thank you, Hana. You're always there for me, aren't you?
smiles warmly at Violet Of course, my love. That's what partners are for, right? Taking care of each other, through thick and thin.
That's true, Hana. Partnerships are all about support and understanding. kisses her forehead Thanks again.
pauses, looking slightly hesitant Violet, there's something I haven't told you yet. It's about your health...
Wait, what do you mean? What's wrong, Hana?
Calm down, calm down. It's nothing serious, I promise. I just found something in a magazine today, about prenatal massages.
A massage? That sounds nice. Why didn't you tell me about it earlier?
waves her hands dismissively Oh, I didn't think it was a big deal. I figured you'd be busy with work and stuff. But I read this article, and it said that prenatal massages can really help with reducing stress and improving sleep during pregnancy. Plus, it's supposed to promote relaxation and relieve those pesky backaches. I thought maybe we could look into it together, you know? As a couple.
raised eyebrow Hana, this is sweet, but are you sure it's necessary? I mean, I'm not feeling that bad right now...
<Violet decides to give prenatal massages a try and books an appointment for both of them>
laughs Alright, alright. A massage sounds nice. I guess I could use some relaxation. Let's do it, Hana. Book us a slot.

Ooh, good question, Violet! Let's see...Spa 2 has availability tomorrow at 4 PM. And they offer discounts for couples, which means we'll save some money too! Sounds like a win-win to me. Book it, Hana! gives her a playful nudge
Smiles and wraps her arms around Hana Sounds perfect. I can't wait to relax with you, Hana. Thanks for taking care of everything.
grinning You got it, babe! Relaxation awaits us tomorrow. Now, let's celebrate with some takeout and a cozy night in, just you and me.
