"Good morning Jungkook! I would love to cook your breakfast but sadly I don't know how to cook using this thing." Hera greeted him with a cheerful smile and she pointed the stove.

"Goodmorning too, kindly stop popping out of nowhere or else you'll give me a heart attack." He retorted with a joke and made his way towards the fridge grabbing some eggs, greeneries and rice. Hera just followed him as he continued to prepare their breakfast. Sure enough Jungkook is rich as fuck he can afford many helper to ease his daily chores but he chose not to. He didn't like having someone
to do tasks for him when he can simply do it himself. Yes, Jungkook is not a rich brat. He was humble in many ways and simple, more reasons for girls to fall inlove with him.

"Oh! This is magnificent. I'm really astounded with the latest what do you call it again?" Hera uttered, looking astounded as Jungkook used his electrical stove while cooking fried rice and eggs.

"Technologies." He answered and continued to cook.

"Yes. That, techlologies. It's so amazing." She replied and leaned her arms on the kitchen sink, chin placed on her palms as if she was a little kid staring in awe with Jungkook's cooking performance.

"It's technologies not techlologies." He corrected her and turned the stove off, grabbing a couple of plates and fishing out the hot rice and eggs on the pan and placing them on the plates.

"Oh pardon me, tech-nologies." She repeated the word slowly and this time she pronounced it correctly, she took some plates and placed them on the table, helping Jungkook in preparing their meal.

"That's good now say it again a little bit faster." He replied and sat down on the table.

"Techlologies." She exclaimed quickly and her eyes widen when she realized she pronounced it incorrectly.

Jungkook chuckled and thought the way she mispronounce the word looked cute.

"Why are you smiling like that? You're insulting me." Hera uttered in a joking manner while she sliced the egg using her knife and took a small piece inside her mouth.

"Nothing I just thought you're so cute when you pronounce that word incorrectly." Jungkook replied nonchantly and he almost choked on the egg he ate when he realized what he said out loud.

"No I mean uh-" he stammered when Hera cut him off.

"Pardon? Cute? What does cute mean?" She asked, brows furrowed in confusion.

Oh thank god! Jungkook thought to himself. As expected with Jungkook he was very dismissive when it comes to complimenting the opposite sex. Most of the time he was on the recieving end, he paid no attention to drop dead gorgeous ladies who threw various compliments at him or who liked him, does he find them attractive? Yes but it wasn't strong enough to intrigue him? no. Unlike the lovely maiden in front of him, there is something about Hera that he cannot pinpoint, was it her ethereal beauty? Or her unknown past? All Jungkook knew is that Hera is mysterious enough to catch his attention.

"It means you speak in a childish manner because you're stammering." He exclaimed, and for some odd reason he was shy enough to admit the true meaning of the word.

"You're awful, you're laughing at my mistake." She said faking a frown and continued eating her food.

"Doesn't it seem odd? You're dead but you're still able to touch and move some things." He muttered before drinking his coffee.

"I do find it odd too nonetheless it's still a good thing. I'll still be a use to you." She responded and continued eating her breakfast.

"By the way I have class at 9 am. I'm going to give you basic instructions on how to use some devices inside the house, to keep you occupied."
