chapter 41: the tremendous tomato tussle

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Pizza!" Jennie yelled.

"Chicken!" Jungkook shouted.

Jennie and Jungkook exchanged frantic glances.

"Ah-" The emcee looked awfully awkward as he waved his hands and laughed. "You see? That's how you play it. That's right. You choose one option. That was just the practice round, so now shall we begin?"

"Yup!"

"Okay..." The emcee looked down into his cue cards. "Firstly... winter or summer! 1... 2... 3!"

"Winter!"

"Summer!"

Jennie glared at Jungkook, who frowned at her.

"Ah-" The emcee chuckled nervously. "It's alright, couples can have different tastes in weather, that's fine. But the next question, I believe you should be able to get right. It's about food after all - I'm sure you both eat a lot together. So... the question is... dip or pour? 1... 2... 3!"

"Dip!"

"Pour!"

"Jungkook-ah!" Jennie nudged Jungkook in his side, before turning towards the camera with a smile. "When we eat tangsuyuk together, we usually pour the sauce on half of it and dip the rest. Am I right, Jungkook-ah?"

"Yeah, yeah-" Jungkook nodded. "That's what we do. I was confused for a while back there, that's why I said 'dip'."

"And that's why I said 'pour'-" Jennie laughed loudly. "Let's continue."

"Jjajangmyeon or jjamppong?"

"Jjajangmyeon!"

"Jjamppong!"

"Sweet or salty?"

"Sweet!"

"Salty!"

"Sleeping or eating?"

"Sleeping!"

"Eating!

Jieun sat backstage, watching the couple fail while secretly taking down mental notes. There was definitely something wrong with this couple. Jieun was certain that she could do this telepathy test with any random uncle on the streets and they'd have better chemistry than them both.

"So..." The emcee chuckled. "The telepathy game didn't go as well as we had expected it to turn out-"

"What do you mean?" Jennie's eyes darted around nervously. "Weren't we supposed to choose different answers? They say opposites attracts, don't they?"

"Oh, right! Oh, right!" The emcee played along. "Silly me. You're right, Jennie-ssi. Let's take a short break, and come back with our next game."

Jieun jumped out of her seat and hurried towards Jungkook, dabbing the sweat that had formed on his forehead.

"It's so hot in here-" Jungkook said as he held up the portable fan. "I'm sweating all over. Jieun-ssi, please do my makeup well."
