Minami dove into the strawberry cake, her tiny hands clutching the fork as she devoured it like it was the last food on earth.
Her cheeks puffed out like a chipmunk hoarding nuts, a smudge of whipped cream marking her nose.
Haruto chuckled, his emerald eyes warm with amusement. "Slow down, Minami. The cake's not going to run away."
Haruka, however, was less entertained. She frowned, pulling a strawberry-patterned handkerchief from her pocket.
With a sigh, she leaned over and wiped Minami's face, her movements brisk. "If you keep eating like that, you'll choke."
Minami barely noticed the scolding, too absorbed in stuffing more strawberries into her mouth.
"It's so good!" she exclaimed, her voice muffled by cake.
Haruto grinned, his gaze flickering to Haruka. "Of course it's good. My sister made it. She's amazing at everything."
