Between Shades of Gray

III

"Good morning... Wow. That smells good." Jisoo unnie greets me as soon as she walks towards the kitchen.

"Well, somebody needs to cook breakfast for us before going to work, right?"

"Yeah, right. It's a first for me though. I never had anyone who cooks for me every morning." She said, sitting in one of the high chain at her bar.

"Same here. But I learned eventually. Being independent and all, I need to learn how to cook." I said while beating up the egg.

"It's a good thing that you have food here in your fridge."

"Well, to be honest, I love buying groceries even though I'm not cooking. I practically live in the hospital. That's just uhm... sort of emergency supplies in case you know-"

"In case you bring some hottie hunk here?" Lisa interrupts and yawning.

"What are you cooking, Jennie unnie?"

I secretly smile at her calling me unnie already. I can't believe we went past the awkwardness of having a one night affair.

"Bacon and eggs. And pancakes too. Both of you can sit down now."

"Yes Ma'am!" Jisoo cheerfully said.

"Maybe we could be roommates, Dr. Kim?" She added, then after a while her voice went high pitch. "What?!"

I look at them and notice that Lisa and Jisoo are looking at each other immensely. It's like they're sparring with their sight.

"You do know that you only have one room and a small space, right?"

"Yeah. But~" Jisoo tried to reason out as she scratches the back of her neck

"No!" Lisa said firmly.

"Not a good idea, unnie." She added.

"Hey! It's okay. I don't need a new place anyway. I'm perfectly fine at my place." I said as I serve their pancakes with bacon and eggs at the side.

"Hey! Why are her pancakes looks bigger than mine?" Lisa complained, pouting as she cross her arms in her chest like a 5yr old kid.

Awww! Look how cute she is.

Jisoo starts to eat her pancake quickly then grins at the younger girl.

"It's shcalled shfavortishism," she said, grinning from ear to ear, while chewing.

"Whatever!" Lisa answered as she slightly bang her arms in the counter and pout again.

If I'm not holding myself, I really wanted to pinch Lisa's cheeks because of her cuteness. I never expect her to have this childlike behavior. She look so intimidating when I first saw her.

"Sorry, I'm not that good in making pancakes equally. And I can't find some measuring cups here." I said, smiling at her but Lisa still frowns.

We started eating breakfast together while talking about what happened last night. But later on, the topic turned on me. They are throwing random questions about my life back in Seoul and I cheerfully answer them as I reminisce those memories.

"Thanks for the breakfast, Jennie. I really feel full." Jisoo said as soon as she finished her food. Then she looks at her watch.

"Oh God! I have to be in the hospital in 15 minutes." She panicked.

"Yeah, me too. I'll just go home and take a quick shower. It's good that you go to work first because I don't want them thinking I'm sleeping with the boss." I joked at Jisoo as soon as I took a look at my watch too.
