At the kitchen, lisa and the two young boys were cooking happily when a certain man was left sitting in the couch. But when he heard their laughers, he stood and walked towards the kitchen. He then leaned quietly at the kitchen’s door frame as he watched them.
That moment, lisa immediately felt his presence due to his piercing gaze so she turned her head and she was right. The man’s face was blank but the moment she looked at his mystifying eyes, she didn’t know why but he just turned into an abandoned adorable little beast in her eyes. Causing her to immediately walked towards him.
"Wanna join us?" she asked hesitantly when the man instantly nodded, causing lisa to be a bit taken aback. Well, she was just kidding, she can’t possibly ask this man of all people to help them cook. She just wanted him to sit there like a king but when she saw eagerness in his gorgeous eyes, she just doesn’t have the heart to say no to him.
"A-are you sure?"
"Yes."
Lisa was shocked on how fast he said yes. She then helped him roll his sleeves before she finally gave him his most awaited task. She gave him a wooden spatula and asked him to simply stir the soup.
Jeo immediately nodded as his gaze was directed to the boiling pot.
That moment, lisa and the two young boys all focused their gaze towards him as they waited for him to do his task. Suho on the other hand was unbelievably restless, as though he was about to witness something unthinkable.
Jeo then carefully lifted his hand and he started stirring the soup seriously, as though he was doing some scientific experiment. His stance wasn’t relaxed at all that lisa couldn’t help but chuckle.
She walked closer to him and she held his hand gently.
"Lower your arm, hold it like a pencil," she said as she kept smiling while the man just replied with an "Mn."
After lisa’s instruction, the man finally relaxed a bit. And as lisa watched him she just couldn’t help but felt the fluffiness again.
"Am I doing it right?" he then asked and lisa just nodded like a rattle.
"Mm... great job, you’re doing well, but make sure that the spoon will reach the bottom, okay?" she replied and when he nodded she turned away and continued peeling tomatoes while she kept glancing at him.
That moment, suho sidled at her.
"Miss, the boss never held any kitchen utensils before... are you sure this is fine? What if he’ll get seared? What if he’ll get hurt?" he whispered worriedly.
"Stop getting worried, he’s still a man, okay? And besides, the great me is here, I’ll make sure he won’t get hurt." Lisa assured him as she patted the young man’s shoulder. And hearing her assurance caused suho to finally relaxed and he stepped back to continue his task.
Until time passed and the soup was already cooked. Lisa told him to just sit and rest but he looked as though he wasn’t pleased to just sit and watch. But because it was an order from the wife, the obedient jeo could only gaze at the peeled potatoes as though he was slicing them in his imagination.
That moment, lisa noticed the adorable beast quietly behaving while he seemed suppressing himself hard even though his eager aura was wildly blazing out. And looking at him like that was a torture to her, causing her to finally gave in.
"Okay, do you want to slice the potatoes?"
"Yes."
Jeo’s instant reply almost made lisa burst out of laughter. The man looked like he was waiting for her to say it all this time.
God, this adorable little thing is at it again.
Looking at his determined eyes, lisa then gave him a knife.
Jeo immediately began the work. He started slicing the potatoes carefully and slowly as though the potatoes were some really precious fragile things that was meant to be sliced royally.
Until time passed and lisa finally started helping him sliced the potatoes. It was because the man was slicing way too slow. He was like a curious god-turned-human who was just trying his best to try doing human stuffs for the first time ever.
That moment, lisa sliced the potatoes in her own fast pace, causing jeo’s eyes to widen a bit, as amazement slowly flashed across his gorgeous eyes. And after he watched her, something glittered in his eyes.
He gripped his knife and he started copying lusa’s fast pace. Jeo’s sudden fast pace surprised lisa and at the same time, worried her.
"Be careful, you’ll get..." Lisa couldn’t continue her words because the moment lisa talked, the man suddenly looked at her before he even stopped slicing.
Lisa instantly shifted her gaze into his hands and the moment she saw blood coming out of his skin, she suddenly grabbed his hand.
And before the man could even react, his thumb was already in his wife’s mouth, sucking the small cut in his thumb.
That very moment, jeo felt like he was suddenly being struck by a thousand thunder bolts all at once.
Jeo remained thunder stricken while his thumb was still in her mouth. He couldn’t even move as his gaze was just glued unto her.
And the moment he felt her hot tongue licking his wound, something unthinkable just popped in his head. It was a strange thought that immediately astounded him even more.
That moment, Jungkook actually just imagined himself suddenly kissing her, and shockingly, the kiss in his imagination was nothing like the way he kissed her before. It was an unexpected thought that he never once fantasized about in his entire life, causing him to question himself if he was still himself.
At that point of time, everything he was feeling were all new and unknown to him that he couldn’t even begin to describe them. To him, all those feelings were strange. They are feelings that he thought never exist.
Meanwhile, the moment Haru saw the current fluffy and sweet scenario, he immediately dragged suho out of the kitchen, telling him, they’re going out to buy a soy sauce.
Lisa on the other hand, instantly started turning red all over the moment she realized what she was doing.
Shoot! I actually just sucked his finger reflexively. What to do now? What if he’ll think it was gross?
Thinking about his reaction slowly made lisa fell anxious. She was always doing it to her little brother and to herself, but she was worried it might not okay for him. Thus, she thought about explaining the pros of licking a wound to escape the awkward situation.
As soon as she was sure that the bleeding had stopped, she then slowly let go of his thumb and she began to talk as fast as she could.
"This might sound stupid and unreal but I swear, licking a wound was actually a good thing. You may not believe it but saliva actually contains antibacterial and antiviral components. Also, it actually also has tissue factors that help clothing. And it’s not only that, licking would also be an another way of wiping off pathogens so it can serve as a substitute of clean water. And also, saliva even has factors that speed wound healing and finally, it’s a natural pain killer. I’ve even read that saliva was six times more powerful than morphine. It’s quite amazing right? It’s amazing right?"
Just after her fast-forwarded explanation, a deep silence followed, as if a certain noisy crow just flew above them.
That moment, lisa turned even redder when jeo didn’t even made a sound. She then struggled finding a word to say but before she could think about something, Jungkook finally talked.
"Mm. It’s amazing," he said and revelation instantly dawned on her.
"Y-you don’t think it’s gross?" she asked hesitantly when the man instantly answered her with a clear
"No."
Upon hearing his answer, lisa’s reddened face instantly turned bright as a wide smile was carved across her beautiful face.
"Is it still painful?" she asked again when the man shook his head.
"Wait for me, I’ll go get a band aid," she added and she took the knife in his hand.
"Don’t touch anything, okay?" she said as though she was a mom sternly instructing his son to behave before she finally left.
Jeo was left alone in the kitchen and just like an extremely obedient little beast, he just stood there without touching anything.
However, a short moment passed by and he slowly lifted his hand. And his mystifying eyes started brimming with a certain inexplicable emotion as he stared at the little wound his wife just licked.
