From Seoul With Love✅

22; Crazy For K-BBQ.

Tis the longest chapter I have. Drop comments abeg else I disappear again.

Also, am I the one that feels like today's episode of Labarina won't be that interesting. No worries, I've got you covered.

Get yourself a cold Pepsi. It's a good one.

Later on at night, they all decided to gather together for a night of BBQ. The day was spent on them doing random things, though at one point they formed groups to just do what each had in mind.

For Amina who was there for the first time, Hunter and Chris offered to show her around—with the aid of Benazir whom wasn't willing to be away from her old friend. So, the group of four went ahead to explore the island, sight seeing with the guys acting as tourists.

As for Bae Hyun, Dean, Aahil and Kimura, they were off for some work related stuff. As it turns out, Bae Hyun is pretty big in their team as well so the four could go on hours about work stuff that will make the others yawn. Clearly, they don't go hand in hand.

The only conclusion they came to, and agreed unanimously was the BBQ night, which started immediately after Isha prayer in the backyard.

The backyard, framed by a canopy of towering oak and maple trees  create a natural, leafy cathedral overhead. The trees' branches stretch out like welcoming arms, dappled with the warm, golden glow of fairy lights that twinkle in the evening's embrace—the lights were set by them to add to the atmosphere. The enchanting lights sway gently in the breeze, casting a mesmerizing pattern of shadows on the grass below.

A wooden deck, adorned with cozy outdoor furniture, extends from the back of the house, providing a comfortable lounging area. Plush cushions in earthy tones adorn the chairs and benches, inviting everyone to relax and take in the serene surroundings.

A soft, rustling sound emanates from the wind chimes hanging nearby, their delicate melodies adding an extra layer of enchantment to the atmosphere. Tall, ornamental grasses and colorful potted flowers line the perimeter of the yard, creating a natural border that blends seamlessly with the lush greenery of the lawn. The garden was a personal handwork of Amma, whom had stepped out to meet up with acquaintances of hers.

In the center of this idyllic scene, the grill takes pride of place, its gleaming surface reflecting the ambient light. It stands beneath a rustic pergola draped with climbing vines and fragrant jasmine, offering a cozy shelter for Chris, whom claimed to be grill master.

He may or may not have burnt the first set of barbecue. Bae Hyun came to his aid, seamlessly and expertly taking over the grill with expertise that would have one with a mouth hung open.

Not to mention how elegant he looks doing just that. Amina wasn't fan of the man, since he isn't that of hers as well. But, she won't deny he pulls the looks of the men she sees in kdramas without much effort. He could audition for one and if the role was about looks, he'd get it.

To dine as well, there was a long wooden dining table, adorned with a classic red and white checkered tablecloth. It sits beneath the same pergola, surrounded by comfortable wooden chairs. Overhead, a large, decorative paper lantern—courtesy and hand made by the ever artistic Benazir--adds a touch of elegance, diffusing a warm, gentle light over the dining area.

Around the table, the food is artfully arranged on platters and in colorful ceramic bowl. The sizzle and aroma of the barbecue promised a mouthwatering event. Tabbouleh Salad, Falafel—Crispy and golden-brown chickpea patties, served with tahini sauce, Vegetable Kebabs and Fruit Skewers were laid on the table, made by the three women with occasional help by the men.
