I felt really bad about what I said. I didn't mean to hurt Jungkook's feelings. I don't even know why I reacted like that. It's not like Jungkook and I have been flirting or anything. I've only known him for a few hours. I guess even though I left Canada, my past still haunts me.

I walk back to my dorm feeling miserable. Once I entered, I saw the camera and the wrapping paper still on my bed reminding me that today was supposed to be a good day. I didn't want my life in Korea to start off like this.

I let myself mope for a few minutes before I decided that enough was enough. If I didn't want the rest of my year here to be awkward with Jungkook, I was going to have to do something about it.

I pulled out my phone and texted V. "Hey, do you mind doing me a favour?"

He replied not even a minute later, "Depends on what it is ;)"

I explained to him my plan and what I needed him to do.

"So do you think you can help me?" I texted.

"Yup. I'm sure it will all work out. What's your email? I'll send you some links that you can try out today."

I sent him my email. Two minutes later I got a notification from my inbox saying I had an unread email. I looked through them until I found exactly what I needed. I hope this works!

Jungkook's POV

The next day

I woke up feeling good, until I remembered what happened yesterday. I don't understand why I cared about what she said. Besides, Min Hi should be who I'm thinking about.

I open my door to the smell of ddeokbokki. And some other underlying smell. Kind of like something was burning. What the heck? Who would be cooking? I walk by Jin's room and see him still sleeping. If it's not him, then who? No one else in our dorm can cook anything more difficult than convenience store ramen.

I walk into our kitchen and spy someone standing by the stove. Ok, I swear that I'm not seeing things but if that figure belongs to one of the guys, then I've apparently been living with a girl for the past two years. I started towards the figure but they suddenly drop a plate.

CRASH

"Shit!" said the voice that I immediately recognized.

"Eden?!?"

She quickly turns around, surprised. The forgotten plate pieces scattered around her feet. "W-w-what are you doing here?" She asking trying to block my view of the stove.

"I kinda live here." I said stating the obvious. "A better question to ask," I said narrowing my eyes, "is what are you doing here?" For a second my mind starts panicking. What if she fooled us all completely and she's actually a crazy fangirl? I start to shuffle backwards slightly.

"V let me in." she responded. "I wanted to make it up to you for yesterday but in order for my plan to work, I needed to use your kitchen." She moves to the side to show me the pots and pans that she had been using. I look at the one on the right corner of the stove and see that whatever was inside has been completely burnt.

She noticed my stare and started blushing. "I'm sorry, it was my first time ever making ddeokbokki and I may have burnt it a little bit." She looked down shyly at her feet. My heart started beating a bit faster. She had done all of this for me?!? I looked back at her feeling happier already. Wait, if she burned the ddeokbokki . . . Then why do I see some perfectly cooked ones on the pan beside the burnt ones? "Did you only burn half of them?"

She quickly turns to look at the pan, panic written on her face. "Oh y-ya! Only the left side managed to burn? Funny, huh?" She said laughing nervously. She suddenly threw her hands up. "Ugh, who am I kidding?! I tried making them but as you can see the result was some ruined ddeokbokki and I managed to burn my finger on some hot oil!" She showed me her finger. "But I really wanted to surprise you so I ordered some from a nearby restaurant." She said pouting.

I smiled at her. I can't believe she did all this just to forgive me for something that wasn't even that big of a deal. I walked up to her and took the finger that she burnt and kissed it. "I hope that helps a bit." I said, my voice suddenly getting husky.

I see her surprised face turning redder and redder by the second.

"Yah!" She took her hand back and hit me lightly, clearly embarrased. "Why did you do that?!?"

I shrugged. I, myself, didn't even know the answer to that question. Why did I do that? I once again think of Min Hi but I quickly erase her from my thoughts. It's not like I'm doing anything wrong. I just wanted to make Eden feel better.

Right?
