Love Of My Life

Chapter 14

As the competition progressed, F4 faithfully stood by Moon's side, offering words of encouragement and support after each round. Their unwavering presence served as a source of strength for Moon as she navigated the challenges of the culinary battle.

Meanwhile, Brandon seized the opportunity to flirt with Violet during one of the breaks, but his advances were met with polite indifference. Undeterred, Brandon maintained his affable demeanor, respecting Violet's boundaries while secretly nursing a hint of disappointment.

Despite her nerves and fears of disqualification, Moon pressed on with determination, pouring her heart and soul into each dish she presented. However, as the final round drew to a close, Moon found herself facing defeat at the hands of the formidable Violet. Though disappointed, she accepted the outcome with grace, her spirit undiminished by the setback.

To her surprise and delight, the judges made a special announcement, recognizing Moon's unwavering passion and dedication. In a heartwarming gesture, they awarded her a special prize of $50,000, acknowledging her ability to move the hearts of all who witnessed her culinary journey.

As news of Moon's special recognition spread, the community rallied behind her, eager to show their support for her talent and perseverance. The phone at Moon's house began to ring off the hook as customers called in, placing orders for Moon's delicious creations. As the orders poured in, Moon's mother watched with pride as her daughter's passion for cooking transformed into a thriving business opportunity. Together, they navigated the challenges of managing a bustling kitchen, their bond growing stronger with each dish they prepared. As F4, Moon, and Isabella gathered to celebrate at Fransisco's house, the atmosphere was filled with joy and camaraderie. Amidst the warmth of friendship and the laughter that echoed through the room, Moon took a moment to express her heartfelt gratitude to everyone who had supported her on her journey.

"Thank you, everyone," Moon began, her voice filled with emotion as she looked around at her friends. "I couldn't have done it without each and every one of you. Your unwavering support and encouragement have meant the world to me."

This is so strange. Why am I more nervous than that guy staring at me than I was in competition ?

As Moon tried to diffuse the awkwardness with a suggestion of spending the day together, Fredrick quickly deflected, stating, "My schedule is full," while Brandon added, "I'm busy too with exhibitions and I have a date."

Francisco couldn't hide his amusement, sharing a knowing glance with Brandon as they both turned their attention to Juan, who had remained silent. Moon's hopeful gaze fell on Juan as she remarked, "Juan, you're always free." Before Juan could respond, Isabella intervened, stating, "He's going shopping with me tomorrow." Francisco couldn't help but smirk triumphantly at Moon, who found herself trapped in the unexpected turn of events. With the tension lingering in the air, everyone bid their farewells and departed for the evening, leaving Moon to ponder the complexities of her relationships with each member of F4. As she made her way home, she couldn't shake the feeling of uncertainty that lingered in her heart, unsure of what the future held for her and Francisco, and the rest of her friends.
