A Second Chance

chapter fifteen

In a few hours the first out of three stages were about to start.

"Are you ready Ji Hyun?" Ha Joon came up to me with an excitement look, I smiled.

His smile is so precious.

"I am. I'll try my best!" I smiled brightly at him "remember it's one on one. And the last stage we do together!" He cleared up.

"Hey you two" I heard that annoying voice once again, I looked at them with an annoyed look, and Ha Joon noticed it. "I hope you guys do your full best and don't go easy on us" I scoffed.

"Why would we ever go easy on you guys?" I crossed my arms "maybe cause you have such a soft spot for Seung Ho" I knew what she was trying to do. get under Ha Joon's skin.

"I have no soft spot for Seung Ho s—" "you two are being loud annoying" Seung Ho stated annoyed "stop bothering them, Hana" Seung Ho walked ahead, Hana grinned at me and followed aftee Seung Ho.

"Don't listen to her Ha Joon" "Seung Ho sunbae means nothing to me" I reassured, Ha Joon smiled and held my hand. I started to become red.

"You're so cute."

Oh my lord!!

"I should start p-preparing!" I ran away flustered, Ha Joon smiled genuinely. I was in the food market section, and I noticed someone came in.

The other contestant.

"Oh, hello!" I waved, he looked glared at me.

Rude much.

I went back to looking at the merch. There was small toys of cats eating a carrot.

Adorable!

I took my phone and started taking photos.

"You're Kim Ji Hyun" "yes?" I replied unsure. "You're not that good looking in person"

W-what?

"I'm sorry?" He stepped closer "I heard you might be even prettier than Hana" "Hana sunbae? What?" I was confused, he shoved me and I dropped my phone.

"Leave Hana alone" he demanded scarily and walked away but once he did Seung Ho came in.

Shit. It's one after another.

I picked my phone up. I groaned realizing there was a crack on my phone. I noticed Seung Ho was looking at the souvenirs "do your best" I spoke up, Seung Ho looked at me with an expression less face.

"Are you sure you'll be okay?" Seung Ho came closer "what're you even talking about!" I pouted "I mean you weren't always good in the kitchen" I knew he was just teasing me.

"True. But I was actually great in baking when I married you. I mean, everyone loved my cupcakes when I would make them for Eun Ji and Seo Jun's birthdays" I crossed my arms and smirked at him.

"But you never got to try them huh?" I rolled my eyes "always saying you think sweets are bad for you, and blah blah. You even forced Seo Jun not eat my sweets for a week" "that's only because he didn't want to his veggies" I laughed.

"He's a kid, Seung Ho. What do you expect? We can't force our kids, but they'll understand soon they have to eat it since it's good for them" I explain thoroughly. It got quiet, "well I should get going. Good luck on the competition!" I gave him a thumbs up and ran off.

Seung Ho scratched his map, and scoffed. "She's so confusing. One second she's nice, and the next she's a real pain."

I ran into Ha Joon, "Ha Joon," I smiled brightly "are you prepared?" "Yes! I'm going to rock that baking competition!" I exclaimed.
