Just Friends

"Hmm.."

I sniffed the appetizing aroma coming from the pot as I wore the pot holders, ready to take it to the dining table. As soon as I did, I took off the kitchen mitts and fished my phone out of my pocket to take a picture of my specialty—kimchi stew.

I sent the picture to our group chat and composed a message.

THE 8 TITANS FT. UGLY DWARF

Go ahead and salivate
Now who the hell changed my nickname
And the group name? That's a big fat lie
I'm literally tall enough. Just don't surround me and we're good

I scrolled up, trying to see who made the changes and found out that it's Yugyeom. With a scowl on my face, I changed both my nickname and the group name.

THE GODDESS AND THE EIGHT CURSES

Now it's perfect

"Mom, let's eat!" I shouted as I took a seat, bringing my attention back to my phone when a notification popped up.

gwigyeomi replied to your photo
I have never found kimchi stew so unappealing until now

A gasp escaped my lips, annoyance coursing through my veins as I glared at my screen.

"Put your phone down."

I looked over my shoulder and saw my mother making her way towards the table. I obliged, putting my phone down the chair next to me as she took a seat at the head of the table.

"What do you think? It smells good, right?" I flashed a smug smile when she gave me a short nod. "Should I become a chef? I'll build my own restaurant and let you eat there for free anytime."

"You don't even know how to cook other dishes."

"Culinary schools exist for a reason, Mom."
