Only Monsters Bite their Ice Cream

NCC ALASTAIR AWARDS INTERVIEW WITH QIAN KUN

I: welcome! We are here with Qian Kun today to talk about the upcoming Alastair awards, which are next week! Of course, all of you know him, hello!

Kun: Hello! Yes, ask away

I: So, we understand this year theres something new this year? Sectioning off the audience so each section gets different types of food?

Kun: Yes, the food for each section is very different, different cultures and such to showcase the true styles and give the Awards a different feel this year. There are, I think about ten? Yes, ten chefs in total, split into five groups with two of us each.

I: That's so very interesting! I'm amazed, do we get a sneak peak?

Kun: *laughs* I wish I could, but its all apart of the experience, but what I can tell you is that we have a new chef on the team, Y/n L/n

I: We're looking forward to it! Who is she paired with?

Kun: Lee Taeyong, a chef you've all heard of *chuckles* They're among the youngest so hopefully they work together well

I: We all do! Thank you for coming here today, goodnight!

Taeyong didn't exactly know how the two of you ended up at an ice cream store at nine in the night, but he didn't particularly oppose it.

After having finished adding the finishing touches to the parfaits, he suggested the two of you celebrated, considering the awards were the next day. You agreed, much to his surprise, and now he was watching you eat your favorite ice cream- strawberry.

"You do know that coffee chocolate is superior right?" He asked, likcing his cone. You rolled your eyes at him, "You have the taste buds of a ten year old."

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with that"

"I never said there was," you offered him some of your ice cream which was in a cup. He declined, saying something about his being better. You looked at him sideways, noting the way his doe eyes stare at the desert in front of him as if it was the world, taking a bite, before they turned to you.

"What?"

"You bit your ice cream you monster", you said, somewhat comically horrified as you playfully took a step away from him.

He grinned, "I don't really feel the cold", he explained, "so i can just-"

"I don't care for the explanation, you are not human!" Shaking your head in disbelief, you licked your spoon, throwing the cup away since you finished.

"So", he started, "We're done", he said, "The Awards are tomorrow."

"We are", you smiled, "It was," you paused, thinking of the word,"interesting working with you Lee Taeyong."

His lips twitched, "I assume you liked glaring at me"

You let yourself laugh, "Apart from the fun", you agreed with him, "So I guess after tomorrow we're done."

"Hmm", he hummed, "Must be great for you, since you despise me so."

You stared at the man in front of you. "I don't despise you", you said finally, "not anymore at least. I can handle being in your insufferable presence," your tone was teasing. "And I have a feeling we'll see eachother again."

"And why so?"
"Because no matter how much I try to ignore or avoid you, you seem to always be there"

He smiled, taking in how pretty you looked with the moonlight framing your features. Taeyong looked back at his ice cream.

He didn't oppose this at all.
