Bab 36: Chapter 36
Chaeyoung walked to Yoonjin with hot coffee, which he had requested when asked what he wanted, since she had nothing to eat.
''You really have no time to make something for yourself, do you?''. He asked as she drops the mug on the table, sitting opposite him.
''I don't, I mostly order food whenever I'm hungry''. She said picking her phone from the table.
''What do you want..''. She asked looking at him.
Yoonjin remained quiet, not understanding what she meant.
''What do you want for dinner, I should order something''. She explained.
Yoonjin looked at Chaeyoung's indifference look, as she stared at him for answers.
He wonder just how many time the lady in front of him eats a proper meal.
He is also a busy person and mostly don't have the time to eat, but when he does he made sure to prepare something for himself or his mother prepared something for him and send it over to his place.
He looked at Chaeyoung whose eyes were still fixed on him waiting for an answer. He smiled and took her phone from her, canceling the order.
''What are you doing?''. She asked, slightly annoyed of his actions.
Yoonjin shrugged and stood up, headed to the kitchen, without answering her.
Chaeyoung looked offended, she stood up and followed him.
''What was that for''. She asked again.
''I'll prepare something''.
Came his curt response.
He opened the top cabinet to an empty shelve. He stared in shock at it for a while before checking the lower cabinet, meeting same empty shelve, he checked the refrigerator and saw just canned water.
He turned around to look at Chaeyoung, she scratched the back of her neck, embarrassed and looked away from him.
Yoonjin closed his eyes, pinching the space between his brows and sighed. He checked the time on his watched and looked at Chaeyoung.
''I told you i order on most times, why are you acting surprised''. She asked, avoiding his gaze on her.
''Then when you don't order 'most times' what do you eat?''.
Chaeyoung pursed her lips, without giving him a reply. Not because she was embarrassed but because she had nothing to say.
Yoonjin checked the time on his watch and looked at her.
''It's not that late, I'll go get something at the supermarket''. He said walking out of the kitchen.
''The supermarket?, why''. She asked, surprised.
Yoonjin took his car keys from the table and turned to look at her.
"Why..?". He retorted.
Chaeyoung walked to him from the kitchen.
"I mean, it's late".
"It's 9, and supermarket closed by 10". He said turning towards the door.
"I'll go with you, just wait here, while I go upstairs to change into something else". She was wearing a strapless nightgown, she ran upstairs before he could say anything.
She got to her rooms and took a white hoodie and sweatpants, which she wore in haste and ran downstairs.
She looked like a kid whose father was taking out.
"I'm here, shall we?". She breathed with a smile.
Yoonjin looked at her outfit and nodded before heading outside, to the garage where Yoonjin's car was parked.
They entered the car, which accelerated in full speed.
As they got to the supermarket, Yoonjin parked the car at an empty space and got down from the car and entered the the shop.
Yoonjin took the cart and pushed it to the grocery section.
"Pick what ever you want". He said to Chaeyoung.
She nodded and walked in front of him, picking the items she needed, placing it in the cart, while he followed her like a father with his 5 years old kid, getting toys for her.
"I think I'm done.." Chaeyoung said after a while of picking food stuffs. Yoonjin looked at the half filled cart and sigh. He smiled and shook his head, walking in front of her picking more food items.
Chaeyoung stared at him without saying a word, because of how dumbfounded she was.
He was picking too much items for her, and she was not sure she was going to eat all of them.
She quickly rushed to him, holding him hand.
"Don't you think this is way too much, I mean I would not have the time, preparing any of these and it's going to go to waste". She explained.
"Then let it go to waste". Yoonjin said, taking her hand off his and goes to the snacks section. He picked some snacks which he thought looked nice and added it to the cart.
"Alright we're done". He said to Chaeyoung.
She looked at the overfilled cart with her eyes and mouth wide opened.
She had never gotten these much groceries in her entire life of living alone.
"Would these be okay, or you want more?". Yoonjin asked.
"What do you mean by more, this right here is way too much Yoonjin, I mean how do you expect me to finish this?".
Yoonjin shrugged.
"Alright then let's go pay for these". He said and headed to the checkout and had the items scanned and paid for, with the items packaged in a grocery bag.
"Aren't you coming?". Yoonjin asked Chaeyoung who had been standing in front of the counter looked at the bags the items had been packaged in.
Chaeyoung looked at him, on hearing his voice and nodded, following him.
They placed the bags in the trunk and the entered the car and drove back to her house.
"Don't you think this is way too much?". Chaeyoung asked again for the hundredth time.
She was not trying to be ungrateful but, she knew that it could actually go to waste since she wasn't type that makes food a lot, or maybe she isn't that good at cooking except some basic meals.
"If you don't want it to go to waste then you have to create time to make food for yourself Chae". He answered, his eyes fixed on the road.
Chaeyoung bit her lips nervously.
"It's not like I don't want to make something for myself, it's just that I'm not that good, in preparing food, it's either too little of everything or too much".
Yoonjin chuckled.
"Do you want me to teach you?".
Chaeyoung looked at him, giving him an eye roll, if she was bad at cooking then who is he to be a better chef.
"Yes, I would definitely love that". She answered sarcastically.
"You don't believe me?".
Chaeyoung smiled and shook her head.
They got to the house, and Yoonjin parked it car in the garage.
Yoonjin took the items bought from the trunk.
"Don't you need help with that?". Chaeyoung asked looking at the bags, which she knew had to be heavy.
Yoonjin shook his head.
"Just lock the trunk and come in". He said, heading inside the house.
Chaeyoung did as he instructed and went inside the house.
"I don't know how to arrange this stuff, so I'm going to need your help on this". Chaeyoung walked to him and arranged all the items bought.
"So what do you plan of preparing ". Chaeyoung leaned on the counter with a smug smile.
"Sundubu jjigae{Korean soft tofu stew}". He brought out the ingredients and placed it on the counter.
Chaeyoung nodded and walked to him trying to stop herself from laughing.
"Then do you need help?".
Yoonjin rubbed his jaw with his fingers as if thinking.
"You can just wash the clams and shrimps".
He answered as he unbuttoned his sleeves, rolling it up, his strong forearms peeking out, exposing his muscles, taunted under his skin.
He tied an apron around his waist, ready to get to work.
Chaeyoung mouth was wide opened watching intensely at him, her eyes following his every movement. He looked breathtaking in the apron that she could not take her eyes off him, nor do what he had asked her to.
Yoonjin turned on the stove, putting it on medium heat, before placing the pot on top.
He added the chili oil, pepper and garlic and stirred it.
"Are you done with it?". He turned to look ar Chaeyoung intense stare on him, noticing her admiring gaze, a smirk tugged the corner of his lips.
"Like what you see?". He asked, his voice deep and playful.
Hearing his voice, Chaeyoung blinked a couple of times and looked away embarrassed.
She was just caught drooling over a man.
She closed her eyes embarrassed and hit her head.
'Dummy..' She thought and quickly washed the clams and shrimps".
Yoonjin chuckled at her attitude.
"Can you bring it over?". He asked.
Chaeyoung nodded and took the bowl containing the already clean clams and shrimps to him.
"Thank you". He said and gave her a peck on her cheek.
Chaeyoung looked at him in shock, her face turning pink.
"What was that for?". She asked but he only shrugged.
"Don't you think you should be rewarding me for making dinner for you?".
"Reward?, who knows if it's going to be tasty". She retorted and crossed her hand.
Truth to be told, he looked like he knew what he was doing but she was not going to fall for that because she always thinks she know what exactly she was found but ends up preparing nonsense.
"Then I'll take my rewards myself every minute". He said with a smirk.
