"Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?"
"Quit messing around."
Chae ah started hitting his shoulder, to which he tried defending himself.
"Ok ok I was just joking, let's go get your dumplings."
He laughed, as they rushed excitedly to the shop down the street.
"Ahjussi! 1 spicy dumpling soup please."
"1 regular one for me."
While Chae ah was trying to take out her money, Jake placed his order, handing the money to the owner.
Choosing a seat at the corner, Chae ah tagged along after Jake paid for their food.
"How much was that?"
"A few dollars? Don't bother it's my treat."
The food was served interrupting their conversation. Piping hot, the generous amount of dumplings float on the savoury soup.
The smell the spice from Chae ah's portion was strong and it looked really spicy.
"That looks really spicy."
The other commented while Chae ah took out her chopsticks as she blew her food.
"Can you take spice?"
Jake asked again, already eating his dumpling.
"Are you underestimating me again?"
All she heard was a giggle, Jake trying to suppress his laughter.
Slightly offended at how she was being belittled, Chae ah paused for a second to think what to say.
"Roses are red violets are blue,
watch closely Sim, I'm no weakling that's who."
She gave him a smirk before digging in, finishing her dumplings one by one with ease, as if the red sauce and thin chilli slices were nothing more than just colour.
"I'm starting to think it's not as spicy as it seems."
He watched her eat with much ease and happiness, using the spoon to take a sip of the soup.
She hasn't taken a sip of water yet nor was she sweating. Hence, Jake started to think that the dumplings weren't very spicy at all.
"Why don't you try one?"
She offered, dipping a dumpling into the spicy soup and then placing it onto his spoon, urging him to taste it.
Without much thought he stuffed the dumpling into his mouth, not knowing how spicy it was. The moment he put it into his mouth he started coughing as the chilli hit the spot, numbing his tongue.
Quickly, he gulped down his drink water to wash of the spice. He felt as if his whole mouth was on fire, unable to tolerate the spice.
Chae ah bursted into laughter as the confident guy failed to keep his cool.
