Something About You

30 : Wish (Christmas SE)

"Is it good?"

"Hmm, yeah. Of course, it is."

"You like it?"

"Yeah." Rosé nodded without talking more.

I took a spoon of the soup and swallowed. I almost threw up when the thick salty liquid made a contact with my tongue and I abruptly ran to the sink to empty my mouth.

"What the fuck is that? I literally put just a little amount of salt, how could it be that salty?" I walked again to the countertop and snatched the bowl away from Rosé.

"Hey, it's fine. It's still edible." she took back the bowl and continued to eat.

"It's literally a bowl of salt solution. Let's just throw this. I'll order for a food delivery."

"You don't have to. I'll cook for today. Do you wanna learn with me? So the next time you cook, you'll like it." her face showed that she's excited. She really likes this kind of thing.

"Ahh, sure. What are you going to make?"

"I feel like having.. buttermilk chicken? Do you know how to do it?"

"I've only heard about it, but haven't tasted it."

"Really? Then, you're gonna like it. Search for the recipe first."

I unlocked my phone to look up for the recipe. While I was reading the ingredients needed, a notification popped up at the top of my screen.

Seungwon
I've set a date for you and Hajoon. Come to location I sent you by 6PM. I already sent it to Hajoon.

I looked at the clock which showed it was 5PM. I made a quick calculation if I could make it there if I want to have lunch with Rosé.

"What are you thinking? You haven't found the recipe?" Rosé slight tapped my hand when I seemed to not move for a few minutes.

"Oh, no, I already found it. Hey, I just received a text from Seungwon that I need to go to Gangnam for the fake date with Hajoon. Do you think it's possible for me to be there by 6PM? Like, I wanna have lunch with you first."

She thought for a bit. "Well, I think you're gonna be late as cooking will take about half an hour. You will need some extra time for getting ready and driving there."

"But I really wanna learn how to cook that buttermilk chicken with you. And you haven't had lunch yet." I felt sorry if I had to leave her like this. She was already excited to teach me how to cook earlier.

"It's fine. We'll do it together anytime. I will just make a delivery order."

"Noooo, I still feel guilty that I ruined the soup."

"You don't have to worry, just go."

"No."

Rosé remained silent as she didn't have anything left to say. She noticed that I was staring at her face for a bit too long.

"What?" she asked.

-

"I think we are already caught on cameras. I heard some clicking sounds earlier." I whispered to Hajoon who was about to finish his meal.

"Yeah, I heard it too. It's already 9. I have to go home early and have a rest as I have a full day of filming tomorrow. Is it fine with you?" he asked.

"Sure, have a good rest. Thanks for today."

We finished our meal and Hajoon ended up paying for the bills even though I insisted to split it at first. We exited the restaurant and separated. I made sure that no paparazzis were following me when I was walking alone to my car.
