The bakery hummed with warmth, flour dusting the air like golden snow. Bada leaned against the glass, her gaze locked on the kitchen’s heart—where you stood, focused, icing a cupcake. Her aunt watched from the counter, eyes sharp with amusement. “You’re here again?” she teased. Bada didn’t look away. You tied your apron, brows furrowed in concentration. The bell jingled, but Bada stayed still. When you finally glanced up, your eyes met hers. A small, sweet smile touched your lips. Bada’s breath hitched. She turned to the case, voice steady despite the flutter in her chest. “I’ll take… whatever she made today.” Her aunt grinned, already reaching for the tray.
