22 : Threesome Cooking

"You're crying?" Just as she raised her tearful eyes to glance up at him, his soft voice, filled with concern fell in her ears.

Lisa looked at him and sniffed, trying to hold back her tears. Even she didn't knew why she was sad.

Throughout all the way from the restaurant to home, Lisa's mind kept wandering in Jungkook's past. How he struggled, how he made such a big business and builted his name in such a cruel world. Alone.

And the thing that soared her heart the most was the girl he liked back in college. How did she looked? She must be very pretty since she attracted Jungkook's attention. But Chaeyoung said she was in a relationship with other guy. Does Jungkook still liked her. After all one can not forget the first love so easily.

"What happened? Tell me." Jungkook asked, caressing the skin below her cheeks. Lisa wiped the corners of her eyes then shook her head, "Nothing."

Jungkook frowned. He kept staring at her for a moment before letting out a sigh. "Okay then, you'll tell me later?" He asked, clearly didn't letting the matter slid. Lisa looked at him and nodded her head with a soft smile.

Jungkook smiled too. "I'm hungry." Lisa again nodded her head and was about to move towards the kitchen, but Jungkook grabbed her hand and pulled her back. "I'll help you today." Lisa looked at him, stunned.
"You? No thanks." Lisa immediately shook her head in denial, remembering how he made porridge for her last time. Even though she had it without any exclamations, the taste was terrible and she cannot eat something like that again.

"Why? I have been watching a lot of recipes in YouTube these days. Actually I wanted to tell you to cook them for me, but I have decided that whenever you're not in a good mood, I'll cook for the both of us. Since I'm still learning now, I will be needing your help and guidance. So, it's decided, I'll cook today you will guide me."

After considering for a while, Lisa finally agreed and both of them got freshed before entering in the kitchen together.

"Pass me the onions!"
"No red ones!"
"Where's soya sauce?"
"I can't find it either."
"Find it!"
"Do you think it's too thick? Should I add some more water?"
"The consistency should not be too thin or thick, yah! Do it yourself are you going to ask me everything!"
"I was just..."

Seeing the couple bantering in the kitchen and cooking together, Mrs. Kang who arrived after finishing her work at her hometown, was terribly stunned.

She had never even imagined Jungkook picking up a spoon by himself, let alone cooking. Though she knew he had worked hard all his life alone, after getting rich and successful, he had a servant to do every kind of work for him.

Seeing him this much calm and composed under his wife's orders, Mrs. Kang felt she has entered a different house.

When Hoseok came in the Jeon house, he was surprised to see Mrs. Kang, but was literally stunned when he followed her gaze and peeked inside the kitchen, only to find his Mr. Jeon, assisting his wife in cooking.

"Ah, Mr. Jung, you're here?" Mrs. Kang noticed Hoseok and whispered at him. She didn't wanted to attract the couple's attention.

"Um, how was your trip Mrs. Kang, is everything okay at your hometown?" Hoseok walked her in the living room and asked politely. "Yes yes, everything is okay there. But it looks like, I don't have to work here anymore. I see, Mr. Jeon has learned to cook under his wife's instructions." Hoseok chuckled and nodded his head.

"Well, it's true that now Mr. Jeon only eats what his wife makes for him. But don't worry Mrs. Kang, I have already arranged another job for you under Mr. Jeon's order." Hoseok said with a smile, Mrs. Kang couldn't help but reciprocate it.

The old lady left the house after talking with Hoseok a little. When Hoseok was free, he grabbed the file he brought with himself earlier and moved towards the kitchen.

He was stunned finding no one there. Both of them were here just now, where did they go?

"Mr. Jeon?" Hoseok called out, and two coconut heads popped from below the kitchen slab. Hoseok could only see two pairs of almond eyes staring back at him. "Uh... what are you two doing... there?"

Jungkook and Lisa looked at each other before standing up in front of Hoseok, both of them were clutching each sides of a spatula. Hoseok pressed his lips tightly to prevent himself from laughing. In front of him, stood Lisa and Jungkook, covered in white flour from head to toe.

"I need to re-consider about Mrs. Kang not cooking here anymore." Hoseok thought in his mind seeing the two looking back at him awkwardly. "What.. what happened here? Did someone blasted a bomb in the flour container? How can you both be so childish?" Hoseok couldn't help but sneer looking at them.

Not just Lisa, even Jungkook looked at him a little emabassed-ly. "It's her fault. She applied the flour on my nose first." Jungkook pointed his covered-with-flour finger at Lisa, who widened her eyes and hit him on his chest with the spatula.

"Yah you! It was you who accidentally applied it on your nose, I was just cleaning it for you and it got more smudged because you kept moving as if I was going to eat you. But then why did you rubbed it on my head?" Lisa huffed, glaring at him, keeping both of her hands on her either sides of waist.

"I..."

"Ahm ahm... If your loving banters are done, can you pay attention to me please?" Both Jungkook and Lisa looked at him, finally calming down. "You both go and take shower, I'll cook the rest of the food." Hoseok entered the kitchen and stood between them, wearing an apron.

Jungkook was relieved and was about to step out, but abruptly stopped when he heard Lisa say, "I'll help you." to Hoseok. Not wanting to let the two of them cook together, he also said hurriedly, "I'll help you too."

In the end, Hoseok got two assistants who covered him in the flour too, while working.

Later, the three had their dinner together and Hoseok left after a little chit-chat with them.

When Lisa came out of the bathroom, she was surprised to see Jungkook sitting in the balcony, on a comfortable chair, a bottle of Soju kept in front of him on the mini coffee table. The chair in front of him was empty.

He had settled two glasses and a bottle of Soju on the coffee table, what attracted her attention the most was a purple colored scented candle kept in the middle of the table, illuminating the dark and dimmed balcony area attached to their bedroom.

Feeling movements inside the room, Jungkook craned his neck and beckoned her to come over. Lisa smiled and walked towards him with excitement.

"Do you want to drink tonight?" Lisa asked, seating herself on the chair in front of him. Jungkook hummed and poured the glasses. "Don't drink too much.  Last time you almost threw up on me, do you know that?" Lisa glared at him with her squinted eyes, making him chuckle in amusement.

"Sorry for last time, and don't worry. I won't drink much." He assured, handing her a glass before taking his own. "Shall we talk now?"

Lisa looked at him and pressed her lips before softly nodding her head in approval.

Park House

"Umm.... The food here is so good! How did you find this restaurant? I never knew about it!" After picking up Chaeyoung from the restaurant, Jimin brought her to another one, the two had planned to have their dinner outside tonight.

Jimin chuckled looking at her and reached out to pinch her cheeks, "Didn't you ate with Lisa a while ago? How come you're still so much hungry?" Jimin asked, with his gentle and soft gaze never leaving her face.

"That was lunch, this is pre-dinner, I'll be having the main course later. By the way, you shouldn't point out someone's eating! Don't you know it's a bad habit!" Chaeyoung hit him with her chopsticks, making him chuckle.

Jimin barely ate anything as seeing her eating so excitedly made him full. He couldn't help but reach out to caress her hair time to time.
