Seafood Spaghetti (1/1)

The next day, it was your duty again to wake Donghae up. History repeated itself as you attempted to wake Donghae up. You knew he was pretending to sleep but you couldn't leave till he really got up and changed for school. After ages of trying again and again to wake him up, he finally opened his eyes and looked at you with a grin on his face."I love it how the first person I see is you, and how you're always so agitated and exasperated. It's cute." He gave you a nice heartwarming smile and walked away to the bathroom.*He really is becoming nicer by the day. I like that.* You thought while walking to the kitchen to prepare Donghae's breakfast.You set the table and put Donghae's breakfast where he would usually sit. To your surprise, Donghae actually looked at and said to you, "Thank you."You smiled back and skipped back to the kitchen. You were ecstatic about Donghae's changed behaviour and you could really get used to it. You found yourself becoming more and more fond of him, and in more ways than just a platonic friendship. But yet again, you shook that thought out of your head because you knew that you weren't worthy of Donghae.The two of you went to school and came back together. You spent the entire afternoon studying together in the living room, though Donghae was just goofing around half the time. He would suddenly snatch your textbook and start drawing ugly people on it saying they represented you. Either that, or he would stare at you, poke you, nudge you, kick you, and basically any other thing that made you annoyed. But you had to admit, his company was still better than anything else."Donghae oppa could you just stop and study seriously for once?" You complained."But studying is so boring. Let's do something more fun.""Like....?" You raised an eyebrow."Like... cooking! You can teach me how to cook! Let's make dinner together." Donghae brightened."No way. I am so not going to waste my time away teaching someone like you how to cook. Why do you even want to learn how to cook anyway? You have chefs at your service 24/7." You crossed your arms."Because I want to cook something for someone next time. So just teach me will you?"You glanced at his expectant face and gave in. "Alright, fine. But you better not be more of a hindrance than help."You decided to teach him how to make seafood spaghetti. You were in charge of cooking the spaghetti, while he was in charge of all the seafood ingredients. You gave him a chopping board and told him to chop the shrimps into halves. "But I don't know how to chop shrimps." He whined. In actual fact, Donghae was actually a better cook than you. He knew exactly how to cook seafood spaghetti, or any kind of spaghetti for that matter. His parents had made him attend cooking classes when he was in primary school."Just try doing it, else you'll never learn." You said while working on the spaghetti.Donghae was more than confident of doing a good job. He swiftly took the knife and started chopping the shrimps. He kept peeking at you while chopping the shrimps to see how you looked when you cooked. *Cute.* Wrong decision, however. He was too preoccupied staring at you that he was completely not focusing on his chopping."OW!" He shouted and winced in pain. Donghae had accidentally cut himself. *Ah damn, I wanted to show her how great a cook I was and look what I just got myself into.* He was so disappointed in himself.You rushed to him the moment you heard him shout. You worriedly grabbed his hand and examined his finger. "It's such a deep cut!" You frantically searched the drawers for the first aid kit and took out the bandage. Slowly and carefully, you disinfected the cut and placed the bandage over it. Donghae winced again and you frowned."Told you to not be a hindrance.." You sounded upset.To your surprise, Donghae didn't even stare at you and walked away. He trudged up to his bedroom and slammed the door.*What was that all about! His bad temper hasn't changed.* You were extremely confused. *Is he angry because I called him a hindrance?*Nonetheless, you continued preparing the seafood spaghetti, and in no time it was all done. You artistically placed the spaghetti on the plate and brought it up to Donghae's room, determined to dissipate his anger from earlier on.You gently knocked on the door and opened it."Donghae oppa, here is yo-" You were interrupted by a burst of complaints."What took you so long! Is it that hard to prepare a plate of seafood spaghetti?! I'm famished!"As soon as you gave him the plate, he dug in and gobbled up the spaghetti rapidly. As he was eating, you couldn't stop wondering who that special person was, the person Donghae wanted to cook for."So oppa, who's that special someone you want to cook for? Tell me tell me tell me!" You grinned at him teasingly.He abruptly stopped chewing and stared at you. Then he smiled and shook his head. That got you annoyed and even more determined to find out who that someone was."Oppa! Please tell me? I promise I won't tell anyone! Please please please? I really want to know. Do I know her?" You pleaded."What makes you think the person is a 'her'?" Your eyes widened in shock. "Y-you mean y-you you like a g-guy...?!"Donghae burst out in laughter. "PUAHAHAHAHA you are so gullible. I was just teasing you. And yes, I think you know her really well."You eyes widened again. You furrowed your eyebrows in deep thought, thinking of who that someone could possibly be, but you simply couldn't. "I know her well? Oppa, could you just tell me who she is?"Donghae thought long and hard. *Should I confess that that someone is her? It's probably now or never. But what if she finds me weird? What if she thinks I'm a freak?* But in the end, Donghae had still blurted out, "You."You looked at him confused. "Huh?""That someone I want to cook for, is you." Donghae glanced at you earnestly, then immediately dived into his spaghetti again and gobbled it up to avoid anymore eye contact with you. He couldn't look at you, at least for now. He couldn't bear to consider what you now thought about him.But to his surprise, you smiled at him brightly. *Did he just say that he wants to cook for me? I am the happiest girl on this planet now!!! Donghae oppa, the Kingka, the person I think I actually have feelings for, said he wants to cook for me!*"Thank you oppa. I don't think you have any idea how happy I am to hear that." You giggled like a lame lovesick girl and smiled even more brightly. But you woke yourself up back to reality and quickly cleared your throat. "Um, I need to get back to work. Just leave the plate outside your room and I'll collect it later."You gave him a small smile and left the room, leaving Donghae's heart beating rapidly like he had just ran a marathon.-------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry everyone!
