Epitome of Her

Cooking and Cleaning

Mark and Hanni soon got back to his house as she immediately began taking out the groceries inside the bags. She ordered him to lay down on the couch and rest up.

"Oppa! You're not allowed anywhere near the kitchen, you have to lay down and rest your body." She huffed furrowing her eyebrows cutely.

He let out a chuckle at her cute pout on her face.

"But what if I want to watch you cook?" He questioned with a smirk.

"W-Well watch from over there..!" She pointed to the chairs around the kitchen counter.

He nodded like a puppy listening to its owner.

He watched her small frame move around his kitchen with the most concentrated facial expression planted on her face. He couldn't help but grow soft watching her be so serious while cooking for him.

"Okay first you have to wash the chicken..." He heard her mumble to herself as she started thoroughly cleaning the raw chicken in the sink.

"After that, you cut the chicken into smaller parts and chuck in into the pot..." She said as her small hands moved quickly, cutting through the chicken precisely on the chopping board.

"Bring it to a boil and add an onion and seasoning into it..." She directed herself as he watch her tippy toe over the pot cutely.

"Are you sure you don't need any help Hanni?" He asked breaking her chef mode.

"Oppa! You're supposed to be sleeping right now! Why are you awake?" She whined, turning around adorably with a wooden spoon in her hand.

"I like watching you cook." He grinned sheepishly.

She shot him a short glare before going back to attending her chicken.

After a good 30 minutes of hearing Hanni talk to herself while cooking, she had finished up everything as she was ready to feed this malnourished boy she found on the street.

She scooped a large amount of chicken and noodles into a bowl, followed by a few pours of the broth over the top. She garnished it with spring onions and herbs for greens.

"Oppa! It's ready, come over and try it," She called as she carefully placed the bowl of steaming chicken noodle soup on the dining table.

"It looks so delicious Hanni... I'm drooling." He said as he took a seat in front of her.

"Tell me if it tastes good or if it's food poisoning worthy," She joked.

He looked back at her with a smile, "thank you for cooking..."

She looked down shyly before motioning towards the food, "hurry and eat so you can have your medicine."

He nodded obediently before picking up his spoon, taking a sip of the broth, "Woah..." He exclaimed, his eyes widening as he looked up to the expectant girl in front of him.

Immediately picking up his chopsticks, he picked up the noodles, slurping it right down.

"Oh my god Hanni..." He breathed out, this time picking up his bowl and drinking the broth like a boy who had been starved for days.

Hanni couldn't help but let out a soft giggle watching him eat it so fast.

"Is it good?" She asked, watching him put down the bowl as he aggressively nodded his head with his mouth full.

He swallowed what he was chewing, looking over at her with amazement in his eyes, "Hanni I'm not lying this is probably the best dish I've eaten this year."
