IT'S OKAY

CHAPTER 25

"Before we go any further, we have to first of all cut out and pair the chromosomes" Ji Sung said

We were now working on our project, the Karyotype Lab

"I'll divide the page, so we'll each have our share to cut. That way it'll be faster" I said

"Sounds good" he commented

We were in the middle of cutting, when my stomach rumbled

"So, what are you going to cook today?" I asked smoothly

"Why? Are you hungry?" he asked, not looking up

"People don't always have to be hungry to ask for food" I said

"For someone who isn't hungry, your response is long" he said

Just then, my stomach decided to agree with him, rumbling loud enough for him to hear

He stopped what he was doing, and looked up at me

"Are you hungry?" he asked with a small smile

"What do you mean?" I asked, feigning innocence

"I guess you were hungry"

"I'm not quite getting you" I said

I pretended to go back to what I was doing, but I was too hungry to do that. I gave up

"Can you prepare something? I'm about to pass out from hunger" I said

He laughed, and stood up

"What do you want to eat?" he asked

"Kimchi Jjigae" stew I said automatically

He thought for a while

"Why don't we eat something else? Don't settle for kimchi jjigae every time" stew he said

"Kimchi stew sounds like the bomb. What else is there?" I asked, not really interested

"Don't worry. You'll love it" he assured

"Why don't I think so" I said, than asked

He smiled

"Come on, Alex" he urged

"Do I have a choice?"

"I wouldn't be waiting for you answer if you didn't" he said

"What's the menu?" I asked

"Jjamppong" he said

"Jjamppong?" I asked

"Yup"

"What's that?"

"Kind of like a noodle"

"You're switching a lovely stew for a kind of noodle?"

"It more than a noodle. So, yes?"

I didn't say anything

"I'll take that as a yes" he concluded

He stood up and walked towards the kitchen

After a long time of delicious, capturing aroma wafting through my nose, something I was in no way telling Ji Sung, the noodle was finally ready

"And you jjamppong is served" Ji Sung announced, placing two served filled with jjamppong on the table
