You both decide it would be better to get cleaned up before eating, so he goes back to his place to shower and you go home and do the same, planning to have him come down in 30 minutes.
The second you get in, you throw your stuff down and hop in the shower so you will have a little time to clean up around your apartment a bit before he comes down. At least that’s what you had planned. About 20 min in, you hear a knock on your door.
“I got bored!” Seonghwa says through a pout when you open the door. You just roll your eyes at him and open the door so he can come in. He closes the door behind himself, and you point at a pair of extra slippers you bought for guests and walk into the kitchen to start boiling water.
“Awe. I have my own slippers here?” He smiles at you, teasing.
“I got them for guests. You just happen to be the only guest I’ve had.”
He seems to ponder on that for a moment before looking up and saying “Good. Keep it that way. My slippers.” He says matter of factly.
You just sigh and smile at him. “Whatever you say!”
“Do you need any help with anything?”
“No, I should be fine. Ramen is literally the easiest thing to make.”
“True.” He smiles and starts just looking around. There isn’t a lot to look at, as you haven’t had much time to decorate, but it isn’t as awkward as you thought it would be having him in your space looking around at your things. He picks up the picture of you and your mom from your shelf and smiles at it.
“That’s my mom. She’s basically my best friend.” You smile fondly at the photo as you step beside him to look at it with him. “She will be at one of the shows on the tour. I can’t wait to see her. I know it hasn’t been that long, but being halfway across the world is a lot different from not seeing each other due to time.”
He smiles at the picture and puts it back, turning to watch how you smile, thinking about seeing your mom again soon. You just stand next to each other for a moment until it hits you how awkward he must feel just standing there staring at a stranger. You look over at him and see him watching you and start turning pink from the heat of his gaze.
“Um. Would you like something to drink? All I really have is water, but…”
“No, no. I’m good right now.” He smiles over at you.
“Uh. Well. Feel free to have a seat! I’ll bring the pot over!” You grab a pot holder and throw it on the table, placing the hot pot of ramen on top. You go back and grab 2 sets of chopsticks and hand them to him. He just smiles at you and pulls the lid off.
“Whaaa this smells so good!” He smiles up at you. “Thank you for the food!” He says as he digs in. You only made 2 packs, so it isn’t too much, but hopefully it’s enough. Gosh. Even the way he eats noodles is the cutest.
After there is nothing left in the pot, you realize that it was definitely not enough and you’re still so hungry. You sit there looking a little sad without realizing it. Seonghwa must have noticed, though, because he pulls his phone out and is scrolling through something.
“What are you in the mood for?”
“What?”
“You’re clearly still hungry. I’ll order food. What do you want?”
“Oh - I’ll be fine!” You try and insist.
“I didn’t ask if you’d be fine. I asked you what you wanted.” He smiles at you with a hint of sarcasm. “Plus, I also want more.”
“You didn’t eat earlier?”
“Oh, I did, a bit, but I am a big eater, so. I can always eat more. So, back to the question. What do you want? Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Me?” He smirks up at you, and you roll your eyes.
“Order anything, I’m not a picky eater.”
He smiles at his phone and just responds “Okay!” And proceeds to click on a few things, checking out when he is done. “Alright. We have about 40 minutes!” He says matter of factly.
You look around, wondering what to do now. “You want to watch some tv or something while we wait?”
“Sure.” He smiles at you, and you go to stand and grab the pot, but he grabs it and heads to the sink. “I’ll do this. Why don’t you go pick out what you want to watch.”
Stop. Being. Perfect.
You hesitantly walk away, seeing he isn’t going to budge on the matter and go to turn the TV on and see what you want to watch.
“What kinds of shows do you watch?”
By the time you had sat down and the tv was on and ready to scroll through Netflix, he was drying his hands and walking over.
“Oh - You’re watching ‘Touch Your Heart’! I love that show!”
“Yeah, this is the second or third time I’m watching it. It’s one of my comfort shows.”
“Well we can just watch that from wherever you are, if you want.”
“Okay. Are you sure you’re okay to be gone this long?”
“Yeah, I’ll be fine. Everyone gets in their own world, pretty much, when we are home. Most of them are gaming. I think someone said they were doing a live? Hongjoong won’t be home until late, again. So no real rush. Why? Do you WANT me gone?”
“No.” You barely get it out even though your insides wanted to scream it at the top of your lungs. Seonghwa just smiles over at you like he can read how your mind is saying it like NOOOOOO.
“Well then, let's go! What episode are you on?”
