Melting in You | PJM

Chapter 3

Hana spent the night restlessly. Still, she was thinking about the rent which she has settle within one week.

From where will I get a huge lump of money now?

***************

The next day is weekend and it means that Hana has to go for her part-time job. She got up early, did her morning routine and wore a simple dress as she has to change to restaurant attire anyways.

She prepared a simple breakfast for Leah and wrote a sticky note telling to eat the breakfast and stuck it on the refrigerator.

The restaurant is at a stone's throw from her apartment and it's not really necessary for her to take a cab.

Speaking of Hana's cooking skills, the locals who dine regularly in the restaurant say that her cooking skill is 'Master Chef' worthy. The dishes she cooks make people coming back to back to the restaurant after once they savour.

Now, you may get puzzled how Mr.Lee knew Hana. Once, there was a cooking contest at Hana's university for a fundraising program. As he was somewhat a popular restaurant owner in the locality, he was invited as a judge. Hana, with her incredible cooking skills, bagged first prize in the contest. Mr. Lee was so surprised to witness Hana's skills. He got into a conversation with Hana and got to know about her financial state. Readily, without second thoughts, he offered her a job at his restaurant for weekends which Hana accepted with thankful heart.

Hana reached the restaurant within time and went to the dressing room to change the attire. After getting done, she stepped out of the room and made her way to the kitchen to meet Mr.Lee.

"Hey Hana! You are here!" Mr.Lee welcomed her with a delightful smile on his face.

"Good morning, Mr.Lee! How are you? How was your week?" Hana asked to Mr. Lee, returning the smile.

"Yeah, it was pretty much good than last week. Only one thing is that, our regular customers complained that they miss the food you cook."

"Oh! Is it?", Hana interrogated rhetorically and smiled. She knows how much those customers love the food she cooks.

"I'm here, finally. Don't worry." Hana assured and Mr. Lee left the kitchen. She started to do the works in the restaurant kitchen which she always loved.

At Bangtan dorm

BTS - the world famous kpop band's dorm house is in the heart of Seoul city, the capital of South Korea. It goes without saying that the dorm they lived is a huge building. Those seven boys are always free-spirited and fun loving. Though they are the renowned kpop group, those seven men and are the most humble human beings on the planet.

They did a comeback few months ago and BOOM! The songs broke the internet and it was a hit. The title track, as always, was smashing records left and right. They are currently resting in their dorm house, goofing around and bickering with each other. Of course, they deserve a rest after working off all their hectic schedules.

Jin, the oldest and Yoongi are the 'Chef of BTS' as they are experts in cooking than the other five members. It was Jin's turn to prepare breakfast on that day and he was cooking soulfully. Yes, he loves cooking.

The youngest members of the group- Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook assembled quickly in the dining hall. It seems surprising but they were quarreling for chairs on which they have to sit. Seems silly, but that's what they are. Childish adults.

Jin entered the dining hall with the brekkie he cooked, shouting, "HEY!HEY! IF YOU STILL CONTINUE FIGHTING, THEN ALL YOUR SHARES OF FOOD WILL BE SAVOURED BY ME. OKAY?"

They loved getting scolds from their older brother. Those three lads sat on the chairs like a obedient child.

"Jin bro, what did you cook today?" Taehyung asked.

"I have cooked kimchi chigae with spring onions. I know you will be complaining even if I cook in a world class level with my world wide skill. But I'm your loving brother and I want everyone to eat healthy food." Jin concluded his speech.

"Again, you have cooked this?!" Jimin complained. Annoyance visible in his voice.

"What's your problem with this food?" Jin interrogated making Jimin zip up his mouth.

"Where is Yoongi, Hobi and Namjoon?" Jin asked the youngest, Jungkook.

"Yoongi brother is still sleeping, Hobi brother is admiring the nature in the garden and Namjoon brother has gone out for jogging", the youngest replied.

"Aish! These guys will never come to dine at the proper time unless I invite them", Jin was slightly irritated by the rest of the three boys. But still, he loved all his brothers; because they are his family.

************************

All the seven boys are now in the dining room, eating, chatting and giggling with each other. Jin somehow managed to gather them all. It's hard to manage those kids.

"I don't complain Jin brother's dishes, but don't y'all think that you are bored with the same foods over and over? Jin brother, please don't get offended. I love you and your foods" Hobi knows how to speak "smooth like butter" as he is the sunshine of the group.

"Yes, I don't want to admit but still I agree with you, Jwaehope", Jin answered with the nickname he created for Hobi making everyone laugh.

"Why don't we buy food from outside? Technology has developed so much nowadays and the restaurants deliver the food we order at our doorstep", Yoongi suggested calmly.

"Yes, but I'm the phase of working out and stuffs so I don't prefer food from outside", Namjoon the leader, conveyed his opinion.

"Ah~ guys, let me tell my opinion. Actually, I'm craving to eat homemade foods nowadays", Taehyung blurted out his thoughts which made everyone turn towards him.

"Then, the foods made by Yoongi and I were not cooked in home?" Jin asked making everyone laugh hysterically.

"No, I don't mean like that, bro. It's been so long since I ate the foods made by my mother", Taehyung was spilling all his thoughts.

"Hey, are you now suggesting to bring your mother from Daegu to cook?", Yoongi asked making everyone crack up again.

They are a mess.

Jimin was listening to all these conversations and was eating the food without any worries. Distinct creature.

"Guys, now exactly what can we do now?", Jin was on the verge of annoyance.

Who in the world thought that food is gonna be the biggest problem of billionaire boyband?

After a moment of silence, Hobi suggested an idea.

"Guys, shall we speak about this to our manager, Bang Shi Hyuk?"

Hello! Hope y'all are loving the story. I was literally giggling while writing this chapter. Thank you all for your support. Things will get heated up in a few more chapters. Stay tuned ;)
