Korean Valentine's Day is nothing like others.

In Korea, Valentine's Day is celebrated in a very unique style. It is the women who present gifts to men. There is a strong tradition of women giving chocolates to men on Valentines Day. There are two types of chocolates, "Giri-choco" (obligation chocolate), and "Honmei-choco". Giri-choco is meant to be for friends, colleagues, bosses, and close male friends. "Giri" means obligation hence this Giri-choco has no romance involved. On the other hand, Honmei-choco is given to a boyfriend, lover, or husband with true love. Japanese women often prepare the Honmei-choco by themselves as many of them think it is not true love if they just buy the ready made chocolate at shops.

Ever since they started dating and got married Lisa had always given her husband her homemade chocolates and Jungkook would always return the favor when it comes to White day. Now that Lisa has a daughter and as Lia got a little older, she wants to get involved too because she also wants to make some for her dear brother and father.

Both mother and daughter bond in the chocolate making process. Lisa was teaching Lia one particular type of chocolate Jungkook would like, not too sweet, the right type of bitterness, and adding a bit of coffee. Her son, Jiseung doesn't mind eating sweets as long as Lisa made them and Jiseung would feel guilty if he doesn't eat the chocolates his mother made for him and now since his sister is participating, he's really obligated to eat both.

Lia watched her mother pour the chocolates into the mold in fascination while licking the chocolate covered ladle. She was excited at the prospect of her father and brother eating chocolates made by her. Out of curiosity, she wonders how it feels like when her mother first gave Honmei-choco to her father back when they were in their teens "Mom, what was it like?"

"What was it dear?"

"What was it like when you first gave dad your homemade choco?"

Lisa laughs softly at the memory at the first time she made some for her first love. "I was scared at first, knowing I had major competition from the other girls but in the end your dad wanted mine and it was a wonderful feeling."

Valentines Day ~20 years ago~

Today, Lisa can finally give her first boyfriend and long time crush, her homemade chocolates. She felt jittery and happy all at the same time. But there is this huge problem though. The moment she got in the locker room where the boys were at, she was surprised at the mountains of boxes of chocolates given by their huge fanbase. When her eyes landed on her boyfriend, behind him were a large pile of boxes of chocolates and some of them are even expensive ones. Lisa's confidence hit a low.

Insecure, the blonde  girl was about to retreat to hide her gift and thought she'd make her boyfriend a better one but she already spent most of her allowance making giri chocolates to her male friends and a special one for Jungkook. Her plan backfired when Jungkook made eye contact, it made her feet glued to the floor. It made her even more nervous when Jungkook stood up and starts approaching her. Lisa made sure the special box she made for him is hidden securely behind her back.

It was obvious to Jungkook that she was hiding something behind her. As he got close to his apparently shy girlfriend, Jungkook crossed his arms and waited. Her boyfriend was standing in front of her and looked like he was expecting something. Clearly enough he was waiting for her to give him her chocolates. This was also her Boyfriends' first time celebrating Valentines, she could tell that he was excited too, only that Jungkook is good at hiding his feelings with his neutral and stoic demeanor. In a feeble attempt to not give him her embarrassing gift, Lisa plays dumb and greets her boyfriend of almost a year "Umm... hey, Kook"

          

"Well?"

"Well, what?"

Jungkook looked at her with seriousness, there was tenderness in his voice when he spoke to her "You already gave the rest of the guys some chocolates. Now I'm here to claim mine." Jungkook would never admit it but he finds it cute when Lisa blushes and looks down to stare at her shoes just to hide her visible blush.

"I left it at home"

"Then what are you hiding behind your back?"

"Nothing"

"Lisa, you're stalling"

'Crap! he knows...' It was no use of hiding. Lisa finally gives in, "but what if you won't like it?" She spoke quietly so that only she and Jungkook  can hear.

"Trust me. I would love it"

"..."

"since it's made by my girlfriend" Jungkook finished.

Lisa slowly looked up to see him, there she saw his genuine smile. It made her fall in love with him even more. The two of them stared lovingly at each other, and just when she was about to give Jungkook her present, Taehyung just had to ruin the moment.

"Hey! quit flirting you two and kiss already!"

Out of habit, Lisa accidentally threw Taehyung the box of chocolates meant for Jungkook "Shut it Tae!" She then realizes her mistake "Oh no! the chocolates! NOOOOOOO!"

In the end. Jungkook still wants to eat her chocolates, even if some of them where on the floor.

"Jungkook! seriously I'll just make you another one"

"No, you worked hard to make me this. So I'm going to finish it"

Present day

"I'm home"

Lia was the first one to greet Jungkook and bought a special surprise for her father. "Dad! welcome home!" Jungkook bends down to her level and kissed her forehead. Lia presented her father a gift "Happy Valentines da-" she stops when she noticed that Jungkook's secretary named Namjoon came in after his boss, carrying handfuls of boxes of chocolates coming from his employees from their company since it is tradition and Jungkook would often get one from female employees.

"Mr. Jeon, where shall I put these boxes?" Namjoon was already sweating from carrying it all the way to the front door.

"Anywhere is fine"

His tiny daughter looks in disbelief at the amount of chocolates "Dad?"

"Hmm?"

"Are all of those... for you?"

"Yeah, it's a lot this year with the new hires and all"

Unlike her mother did during her teens, Lia was more determined and confident. When it comes to getting her fathers' attention, she's not willing to give up. "Dad, you love me right?"

"Hmm. Yes?"

"Then you're going to eat the chocolates me and mom made for you, just ours okay?" she ordered.

Jungkook was a little stunned. It could be that Lia felt jealous when she saw the boxes Namjoon was carrying 'that might be it' Jungkook figures. The thought of seeing his little girl get jealous of the prospect him choosing the more expensive and decorative chocolates than hers made him smile. He puts his hand on her head and rubs softly "Heh. You're so cute. Alright then, you're the boss."

Later that night...

After dinner ended, the family went to the living room watching television. From there, both father and son ate the chocolates made for them. Jungkook didn't have much work to be done, so he took this opportunity to spend some time with his family.

While the children aren't looking, thinking deviously, Jungkook took this opportunity to make-out with his wife. He took a mini ball of chocolates made by her and fed her one, "eat with me."

His wife doesn't mind and took a bite. What surprises her was when their lips suddenly connect, his tongue wrestle with hers until the chocolate eventually melted in their heated kiss.

"Mom, Dad... We're still here"

"It's too late, they're not listening. C'mon, let's get out of here" Jiseung quietly walks out of the room with his sister covering her eyes.

March 14, White day...

While entering the bedroom, Lisa notice a note on the bed and beside the note there was also a rose and a heart shaped box of chocolates. Despite being married for years together, Lisa still finds Jungkook's efforts sweet. She took the note and read it. After reading the said note, she nearly chokes on her own saliva when she discovers what surprise Jungkook had for her tonight.

On the note it says:

'Which one do you want?

1. Flowers

2. Chocolates

3. My body'

Damn, that number three got her.

And at that right moment, she saw Jungkook leaning against the bathroom door frame with only a towel loosely wrapped around his waist, he was all hot and wet from the steamy shower.

"So, Lis... you got three choices. Flowers, chocolates..." he removes his towel "or Me?"

His wife was almost left tongue tied and could only stutter one syllable "I-I..I..." she gave a girlish squeak as Jungkook suddenly carried her bridal style towards their bed. She didn't fail to notice a satisfied smirk forming on her husbands' face.

"Good girl. My body is the perfect answer"

 My body is the perfect answer"
