The soft rays of the morning sun filtered through the curtains, Mingyu slowly stirred from his slumber. Stretching lazily, he extended his arm to pull her close, only to realize the space beside him was empty.
Furrowing his brows in mild confusion, Mingyu blinked away the remnants of sleep, his mind gradually registering Yn's absence. A flicker of concern sparked within him as he sat up, scanning the room, half-expecting to find her in the bathroom or perhaps in the living room, engaged in an early morning activity.
His heart began to race a bit faster as he couldn't locate her in the usual spots. A sense of worry crept in, and he quickly checked the bathroom, calling out her name softly, hoping for a response that didn't come.
With growing unease, Mingyu hurried to the living room, his eyes darting around in search of any sign of Yn. But the room was empty, the peaceful morning only accentuated by the lack of her presence.
Panic started to claw at Mingyu's chest as he realized Yn was nowhere to be found. He reached for his phone, his fingers fumbling slightly as he dialed her number, his heart pounding in his chest. The ringing filled the room, but the sound seemed distant as the realization hit him—her phone was still in their room.
The worry surged within him as he tried to remain composed while his mind raced with possibilities. Mingyu's concern for Yn's safety intensified with every passing moment, each unanswered ring amplifying his fear.
Frantically, he retraced his steps, his mind racing through scenarios, his eyes searching the residence, hoping to catch a glimpse of her, to hear her voice, anything that would ease the growing fear knotting in his stomach.
The seconds felt like an eternity as Mingyu's heart thudded loudly in his ears. He couldn't shake the sense of panic that gripped him, the fear of not knowing where Yn could be.
His thoughts were a whirlwind of worry, wondering if she had gone out without informing him, or if something unforeseen had happened. The uncertainty gnawed at him.
Mingyu's mind raced with worry and worst-case scenarios, his concern for Yn escalating with each passing second. In his desperation, he took a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves, and decided to search the residence once more, hoping to find any trace of her or a clue to her whereabouts.
Mingyu's heart was pounding as he dashed around the residence, his steps quickening with every passing moment of uncertainty. Panic knotted in his chest, his mind racing through every possible scenario of what could have happened to Yn.
He burst through the doors that led to the poolside area, his eyes scanning the space urgently. And there, sitting by the pool, was Yn. The relief that washed over him was immediate, eclipsing the fear and worry that had been gripping him just moments before.
However, the rush of emotions quickly gave way to a surge of anger and concern. Mingyu's voice was filled with a mix of frustration and relief as he shouted out, "Yn, what the hell are you doing here?" The words, laden with concern, echoed in the still morning air, his voice tinged with worry that had momentarily transformed into anger at her sudden disappearance.
Yn, taken aback by Mingyu's sudden outburst, flinched at the sound of his voice. Her initial shock was evident in her wide-eyed expression as she turned to face him, her own emotions a mix of surprise and confusion.
Before she could utter a word, Mingyu's anger melted away almost instantly, replaced by an overwhelming wave of relief. He rushed towards her and enveloped her in a tight hug, his arms securing her close as if to ensure she wouldn't vanish again.
"I was worried sick, Yn" he murmured, his voice filled with a blend of relief, concern, and affection. Mingyu's fear for her safety and his relief at finding her safe and sound were palpable in his embrace.
Yn, still slightly stunned by his sudden appearance and the intensity of his reaction, found herself wrapped in Mingyu's comforting embrace. She could feel the tension in his muscles gradually easing as he held her close, the worry that had clouded his features giving way to pure relief.
"I'm sorry" she finally managed to say, her voice soft as she leaned into his embrace. "I couldn't sleep, and I didn't want to disturb you"
Mingyu pulled back slightly, his hands resting on her shoulders as he gazed at her, concern etched in his features. "I understand, but please, let me know next time. I was so worried about you."
His eyes searched hers, a mix of worry and gentle reassurance evident in his gaze. Mingyu wanted to convey that he was relieved she was safe but also worried about her sudden disappearance, hoping she would understand his concern and the need for communication, especially in such situations.
Yn's sudden tight embrace caught Mingyu off guard. Her arms wrapped around him with such fervor that he couldn't help but soften, the tension slowly dissipating from his frame. He felt her warmth and heard her soft voice as she whispered, "I love you, my dear sulky husband."
"Stop it, I'm not..." Mingyu attempted to protest, but his voice trailed off as he found himself lost in her embrace. His sulkiness dissolved into a faint smile as he relented, letting the affectionate moment envelop him.
Yn pulled back slightly, holding Mingyu at arm's length, looking into his eyes. "You might try to pretend, but your face betrays you" Her voice held a playful tone as she gently caressed his cheek, a tender smile curving her lips.
Mingyu couldn't help but chuckle at Yn's observation, his sulky facade crumbling under her affectionate gaze. "Alright, maybe just a little bit sulky," he admitted with a hint of a grin, giving in to her playful teasing.
Yn leaned in and planted a soft kiss on his cheek, feeling the faint stubble against her lips. "You're my favorite sulky baby, you know," she teased, letting her words linger with warmth.
Mingyu's heart swelled with affection as he pulled Yn into another embrace, returning her kiss with one on her forehead. "And you're my favorite troublemaker," he replied with a playful glint in his eye, unable to hide the love and adoration that radiated from his smile.
With a gentle tug, Yn took Mingyu's hand, intertwining her fingers with his. She smiled warmly, her eyes reflecting a mischievous spark as she uttered, "I'll make you breakfast today."
Mingyu raised an eyebrow in surprise, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "Really? That's a rare treat," he replied, his curiosity piqued by Yn's sudden decision to take charge of breakfast.
Yn nodded with determination, leading Mingyu back towards the residence. "Yep! I've got something special in mind. You just wait and see," she teased, a playful glint in her eyes as they made their way to the kitchen.
Mingyu followed her, a mix of excitement and curiosity dancing in his eyes. He couldn't help but feel a rush of anticipation, wondering what culinary surprise Yn had in store for their morning meal.
As the morning light filled the kitchen, Yn stood in front of the counter, meticulously arranging the ingredients for the Korean Scallion Pancakes (Pajeon) and Korean Egg Roll. Cooking was not her forte, but today was different—she was determined to surprise Mingyu.
Mingyu, with a curious expression, approached Yn. "Let me help you, love. You don't have to do all of this alone," he offered, his voice tinged with eagerness.
Yn turned to Mingyu with a smile, a glint of determination in her eyes. "Nope, I've got this. I want to do this for you," she replied firmly, gently shooing him away from the cooking area.
With a resolute determination, Yn meticulously mixed the batter for the Pajeon, adding the scallions with precision. Her focus was unwavering as she poured the mixture onto the sizzling pan, creating a delightful sizzle that filled the air with an enticing aroma.
Mingyu watched her with admiration, a soft smile playing on his lips. He could see the effort she was putting in, despite her usual aversion to cooking. He couldn't help but feel touched by her gesture.
Meanwhile, Yn moved on to prepare the Korean Egg Roll, cracking the eggs with care and whisking them to perfection. She added a variety of finely chopped vegetables, carefully rolling the mixture onto the pan, creating a beautifully golden and fluffy egg roll.
As the dishes were being cooked, the aroma wafted through the kitchen, enticing Mingyu's senses. He felt a sense of warmth and appreciation for Yn's effort and love behind the breakfast she was preparing.
Once everything was ready, Yn plated the dishes with an artistic touch. The Pajeon was crispy and golden brown, adorned with a sprinkle of chopped scallions on top. The Korean Egg Roll was elegantly sliced and plated, showcasing the vibrant colors of the vegetables within.
Mingyu's eyes widened in pleasant surprise as Yn presented the beautifully cooked dishes before him. "Wow, Yn, this looks amazing!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with genuine admiration.
Yn beamed with pride, a sense of accomplishment washing over her. "I hope it tastes as good as it looks," she said with a hint of nervousness.
They both sat down at the table, enjoying the delicious breakfast together. Mingyu savored every bite, genuinely impressed by Yn's effort and the delicious flavors that filled his palate.
As they shared the meal, the warmth of their connection and the gesture of Yn's efforts in the kitchen filled the air. It wasn't just about the food—it was about the love and care she had poured into making this breakfast for him, creating a cherished memory between them.
Seungcheol's footsteps echoed through the hallway as he descended the stairs, the tantalizing aroma of freshly cooked Pajeon drawing him into the dining area. Seungcheol strolled in with a mischievous grin. "Mmm, why do I smell Pajeon?" he playfully inquired, his eyebrows raised in curiosity.
Yn glanced up with a warm smile. "Yes oppa, I made breakfast for Mingyu" she replied, a playful glint in her eye, but then she noticed the sulky expression forming on Seungcheol's face.
"Ah, only for Mingyu?" Seungcheol pretended to pout, feigning disappointment at not being included in the breakfast treat.
Yn chuckled at his antics. "Of course not, Seungcheol-oppa! How could I forget you?" She picked up a piece of the Pajeon and held it out to him with a teasing grin.
Seungcheol's sulky expression instantly turned into an amused one. He leaned in, pretending to be hesitant, but his eyes betrayed his amusement. "Oh, I don't know if I should..." he teased, leaning closer to Yn's hand.
Without missing a beat, Yn playfully nudged the Pajeon closer to his mouth. "Come on, don't be shy, Oppa. It's delicious," she urged, her eyes twinkling with amusement.
Seungcheol relented with a chuckle, taking a playful bite from the Pajeon Yn was holding. As he did, he gave her fingers an exaggeratedly grateful kiss, causing Yn to burst into laughter at his antics.
Mingyu, who had been observing the playful exchange, felt a sudden pang of jealousy, albeit in a lighthearted manner. His jaw dropped in mock surprise at the sight. "Hyung!!!!!that's my wife!" he exclaimed in a playful but pretend-offended tone, a grin tugging at the corners of his lips.
Seungcheol, still teasing, responded with mock innocence. "Oh, sorry, I didn't realize!" he quipped, causing Yn to laugh even more at their banter.
Yn playfully nudged Seungcheol's shoulder. "I can feed you too, Mingyu, don't worry," she reassured, winking at him mischievously.
Mingyu, though playing along, couldn't help but feel a twinge of amusement and affection at the playful camaraderie. "I think I should keep an eye on you two," he teased, pretending to be possessive as he joined them at the table.
The light-hearted banter continued throughout breakfast, filled with laughter, playful nudges, and an atmosphere brimming with affectionate teasing.
In a sudden burst of energy and excitement, Yn dashed from the dining area, leaving Seungcheol and Mingyu exchanging puzzled glances in her wake. The two looked at each other, a silent question passing between them about what Yn could be up to.
Yn's rapid pace led her to the residence chefs, her enthusiasm lighting up the kitchen as she made a fervent request. She urged the chefs to prepare a larger batch of Pajeon, enlisting their help to ensure there would be enough for everyone in the residence to enjoy. Although not an expert in the kitchen, Yn was determined to make sure everyone could savor the savory treat she had prepared for Mingyu.
With the chefs' guidance and assistance, Yn dived into the cooking process with gusto. She meticulously flipped the pancakes, her dedication evident in every movement as she worked side by side with the professional chefs. They shared tips and techniques, turning the kitchen into a collaborative and bustling space.
The aroma of the freshly cooked Pajeon filled the kitchen, teasing the taste buds and adding to the anticipation brewing throughout the residence. Yn's eyes gleamed with excitement and satisfaction, knowing that her plan to share this culinary delight with everyone was about to come to fruition.
As the plates of steaming Pajeon were ready, the chefs emerged from the kitchen, carrying them out into the dining area. The moment the members caught sight and scent of the delicious pancakes, surprised gasps mixed with delighted murmurs filled the room. Yn beamed proudly, her heart warmed by the reaction she had elicited.
Seungcheol's eyes widened in pleasant surprise at the sight of the additional Pajeon. "Wow, more Pajeon! Yn, you really outdid yourself," he exclaimed, genuinely impressed by her thoughtfulness and dedication to ensuring everyone could enjoy the treat.
Mingyu's heart swelled with pride as he watched Yn's efforts unfold. He looked at her with admiration and gratitude. "Thank you, Love," he expressed softly, feeling deeply touched by her selflessness and kindness.
The dining area was alive with animated chatter and praise as the members indulged in the freshly prepared Pajeon. The delightful aroma and delicious taste of Yn's creation drew unanimous acclaim from everyone seated at the table.
Seungcheol, savoring a bite of the pancake, exclaimed between mouthfuls, "Yn, this is amazing! You've really got some serious cooking skills!"
Jeonghan nodded in agreement, a content smile gracing his face. "I didn't know you were such a talented cook, Yn. This Pajeon is absolutely delicious!"
Wonwoo, typically a man of few words, offered a rare compliment. "Impressive"
Joshua, ever the polite and appreciative soul, praised Yn's efforts with a smile. "Thank you for making this, Yn. It's really good."
Minghao, with a nod of approval, added his commendation. "The flavors are spot on. You did a great job, Yn."
Even Dino, the youngest member, chimed in with enthusiasm. "This is so good, You should cook for us more often!"
Amidst the chorus of compliments, Yn blushed with happiness at the genuine appreciation she received. The satisfaction of seeing her fellow Seventeen members relishing her cooking made her efforts completely worthwhile.
Mingyu, sitting beside Yn, beamed proudly at his wife. "See, everyone loves it! You've become a star chef overnight."
The breakfast turned into a delightful gathering filled not only with the delicious taste of Pajeon but also with laughter, praise, and a newfound appreciation for Yn's culinary skills among the members of Seventeen.
