บท 255: PMS

Jeru had not been himself ever since Thea blurted out her 'I will still like you' declaration in the car. He had been watching her this whole time, but she was just her usual self again as if she had never said those words. Words that had shaken him to his core. Jeru was hesitant whether he should bring it up.

"Do you need help?" he asked Thea, who was now in the middle of preparing the ingredients for the dishes that she would make. Some recipes had to be made earlier than the others. 

"Why? Don't you have anything else to do? I don't need any help, but if you want, you can peel and cut this," Thea suggested.

Jeru immediately did what she asked, but it was his first time helping in the kitchen, so he chopped the potatoes sloppily. Thea laughed when she saw the different sizes of sliced potatoes.

She moved closer to his side and grasped his hand with one palm, while her other palm held his other hand to guide him on how to cut it properly.
