Chapter 6: Filling in the Spaces

'Really? A throne? And you want me to build a fort? What are you? Four?'

'It's not a fort, it's a castle.' Wonyoung said, looking offended.

'A castle, you say? Apparently you're a four year old princess, now. Well, whatever you want, your highness.'

So far, Yujin had bought everything Wonyoung had wanted from the Convenience store which included a donut, instant ramen, milkis, chips and various sweets and chocolates that Wonyoung was planning on mixing together. Also, the horrible toothpaste icecream. But, it was either that or vanilla ice cream that Wonyoung was going to put olive oil and salt on. And Yujin did not feel like crying that night, so she went with the lesser of the two evils.

Next, Wonyoung had requested that she stay at Yujin's house for the night, unless Yujin was willing to build a whole chariot with horses to bring her back to her house.

Yujin had a feeling that it had to do with the fact that she didn't want to be home with her Dad, but she chose not to comment on it.

And now, Wonyoung wanted Yujin to build a fort around Wonyoung's 'throne', which was basically just a chair with a soft blanket over it. Yujin even dug through her closet for a tiara.

'I don't remember making you do all this when you were my assistant?' Yujin groaned as she tried to add fairy lights into the roof of Wonyoung's 'castle', which was basically just the large tent she had set up in her bedroom.

'Because, you're not creative enough.' Wonyoung said while eating her icecream. 'When you're done can you cook me sunny side up eggs and those sausages I saw in your cupboard earlier?'

'Right.' Yujin said, putting the last of the lights up. Yujin bowed mockingly. 'Sausage and eggs coming right up for the princess. Please, make yourself feel at home, Your Highness. I'm going to go cook your food. Would you like my laptop? I have Disney plus.'

Wonyoung shook her head, mouth full of icecream. She pointed to her phone, showing Yujin the Instagram feed she was getting ready to scroll through while she waited for Yujin.

Wonyoung watched a slime video, a few puppy videos and an Instagram edit of Twice. There has been a little more of the band on Wonyoung's feed because she had looked them up to check out their comeback. Only because she wanted to find bad things to say about it to annoy Yujin, that's all. It's not like she started to like them because of the president.

She was halfway through her third puppy video when Yujin hesitantly walked back into the room, arms full.

'Quick question. Which one should I use?'

In Yujin's hands was a pot, a pan and even a stir fry pan. She even brought out a steamer.

Wonyoung face palmed, her mouth hanging open in shocked. 'Do you— it's like you've never cooked before.'

Yujin smiled sheepishly and Wonyoung's mouth fell open.

'Are you serious? You can't cook?' Wonyoung exclaimed. 'Change of plans, I'm not eating anything you make.'

The two made their way into the kitchen and Wonyoung grabbed the pan from Yujin to place it over the stove.

'I'll cook and save myself from food poisoning. Just get me the ingredients.'

The next twenty minutes consisted of Yujin running around the kitchen grabbing whatever ingredients Wonyoung told her to get. It seemed that the eggs Wonyoung had requested was turning into some gourmet omelette. Wonyoung was requesting for all kinds of ingredients. She was even making side dishes.

Suddenly, somebody walked into the kitchen and grabbed a banana from the fruit bowl.

'Jin, what did we tell you about being in the kitchen?'
