New House, New School, Ne (1/2)
"Ugh,” you flopped onto bed, exasperated.Little beads of sweat dripped down your face. After many tiring hours, you were finally finished unpacking and organizing everything into your new room. You lay on the bed staring at the ceiling aimlessly until Baekhyun barges into your room.“Yah!”At the sound of his voice, you shot up from your position.“Didn’t your parents teach you how to knock?”Baekhyun ignored your question. “Make me some food.”Before you could say anything in return, he turned away from the door and walked back into his room. You fell back onto the bed once again. To get used to the “married” life, there were no maids present at the house. They would come to clean, but cooking was your responsibility. Luckily, you were good at cooking and enjoyed making food for others. It gave you a sense of warmth and happiness when they ate your creations.After a few minutes of contemplating whether you should make dinner or not, forced yourself to get up and stomped down the stairs. You open the giant silver fridge in front of you and looked the ingredients, trying to figure out what to make. The refrigerator was packed with a variety of vegetables, meats, and side dishes.
That’s it!“I’ll make him bibimbap!” you chimed.Not too easy, not too hard. Even though you weren’t that fond of your so-called-husband-to-be, you wanted to show him your abilities. Immediately, you took out a range of vegetables and started chopping them up. Then, you fried up the vegetables in a pan and you cooked the beef in another. A great aroma of bibimbap lingered throughout the house. Enchanted by the smell of food, Baekhyun sneaked down the stairs to observe what you were doing. He peeked behind a wall and Baekhyun saw you dancing and singing away as you waited for the vegetables and beef to cook. Without him knowing, a slight smile formed upon his lips. He had to admit, you were cute.
Wait...what? Baekhyun, you’re crazy. All of this hunger is getting to you…
Before you could hinder him again, Baekhyun fled up the stairs.
Finally, everything was cooked and you looked at what you had accomplished. There were two bowls on the table and the bowls were assorted with colorful vegetables, beef, and a perfectly shaped fried egg to top it off. You admired the two bowls and realized how hungry you were.“Dinner is ready!” you cried.“It’s about time,” you heard Baekhyun say as he made his way into the kitchen.
As he sat down, he drooled at the bowl that was plated in front of him.
Stay cool, Byun Baekhyun.
With a poker face, Baekhyun mixed his bibimbap and took his first bite.
This is amazing! Did she actually make this?
Baekhyun was in awe by your skills in cooking, but he made sure that he didn’t show it. By the look of his emotionless face, you couldn’t distinguish what Baekhyun was thinking.
Did I add too many vegetables? Is it too salty? Too bland?
With a nervous feeling, you waited for Baekhyun to comment on your food.“So…does dinner taste okay?” You ask as you mindlessly stir you already mixed bibimbap.
You don’t know why you felt so uneasy. Normally you wouldn’t care about what others would say, but this time, it was different. You wanted Baekhyun’s approval. You wanted him to praise you for what you had done.“It’s edible.”You felt your heart drop as you heard his response.“Is it that bad…? I can make you something else if you would like…”“There’s no need. I’m going up,” he said, pushing the empty bowl of bibimbap into your direction.
As he was walking away, you stuck your tongue out at him.“Jerk…” you murmured and happily ate your dinner.***
“OH, I’M CURIOUS, YEAHH~”
You awoke for your sleep, startled by the alarm clock. You rubbed your eyes and sat up. You looked to the wall and to see 5 gorgeous boys smiling at you.
