Chapter 12: You might be the person who'll ruin my career

I focused on the bag he's holding. He did bring the ingredients!

"You hug me every time you see me so I initiated this time." He smiled while looking at me.

I laugh.

"Yah! You expect me to hug you after making me wait for a long time?" I folded my arms. My expression grew sullen.

He pouted. "What a way to welcome a guest who brought you food."

"Gamsahabnida, ahjussi." I then bowed jokingly.

"Yah!"

I laugh.

We both went to the kitchen. I took out chopsticks from the drawer. Hae In prepared the food on the table.

I gave him his chopsticks and sat down. He sat across from me.

I started eating and I didn't wait for him. I was starving.

"How is it?" His face is close to mine.

I stared at him angrily for a few seconds then continued eating. I was busy eating when he asked me so I got slightly annoyed.

He moved away from me and started eating silently.

I stopped eating and looked at him. "Yah, don't take what I said personally." I smiled at him. "You must be surprised that I talk rudely but it's because we're friends now! But if it bothers you then I can always take it down a notch. I won't get mad." I smiled at him.

He stops eating and looks at me. "I stayed silent because you might hit me." There goes that puppy smile again. How can someone be so cute smiling? I thought to myself. It's true that God has his favorites.

I couldn't reply to him. The spiciness just hits me now. I started sweating and had a runny nose.

"Water, water!" I hit his arm a couple of times to signal him to get water from the fridge.

"Yah! Why did you ask me to buy tteokbokki if you can't handle the heat? You should take care of yourself better. He then gave me a bottle of water. I drank it in one gulp. I'm still not satisfied. I still can feel the burning sensation

I stood up and went to my room.

"Where are you going? He stood up from the chair but stayed in the kitchen.

"I'm going to my room ang get my phone. I need ice cream. A bunch of ice creams! Stay here." I shouted to him

I went back to the kitchen.

"What flavor do you want?" I asked him hurriedly.

"I thought you're tired of commuting?"

"There are always exemptions to everything." I smiled at him teasingly.

He put on his mask and hat.

"What do you think you're doing?

I'm going with you. I saw a nearby store while I was driving to your airbnb."

"You'll be recognized!"

"You said that you killed my crazy fans in your area so there's really no reason not to go with you." He teased me.

"Okay fine!" I yielded.

We went out and he led the way. We arrived at the convenience store. I bought 5 ice creams. He stayed silent while we were inside the store. When we went out, I locked my arm with him. No one was there.

"Thanks for coming out for me." I leaned on him while we walked to my airbnb.

"You might be the person who'll ruin my career." He jokes.

"Yah, stop that! I won't tell anyone we're friends!" I looked at him.

We arrived back at the house and I hurriedly took out an ice cream and ate it. We were sitting on the couch in the living room.

"Is it good?"

I nod my head without looking at him. I'm focused on eating my ice cream. He just looks at me. I finished my ice cream quickly.

I looked at him and gestured a thumbs up sign.

"Why do you eat like a child?" He laughs.

"It just happens whenever I eat ice cream." I smiled gleefully. He suddenly placed his hands on each of my shoulders. I can't move and my heart is beating fast. What is he doing? Why can't I talk? I'm getting hot.

He went closer. Closing our distance. His lips lightly brush my lips. He kissed me.
