the penthouse

19 | new things, new feels.

sicheng had never touched the stove before. well, he had done some things for his tea, but yeri had some weird thing for boiling water, that made sicheng's life much easier. now, because yeri was sick, he needed to take over.

he was obviously trying to turn the stove on, but it was not really working. ji-yoo watched as her father attempted to do such an easy task, as clueless as he could be. yeri had never made her cook before.

now, with yeri watching them, sicheng and ji-yoo tried to prove that they were good chefs. they were going to make the chicken tenders and tell yeri that she could rest for a few days. they could take over.

or their house would catch on fire. the second option was more likely, because of how much sicheng feared he was about to do it. he looked up to yeri, trying to see her reaction. she was shocked, for sure.

" sicheng, get away from that stove right now, or else we will have to escape a whole fire. i will do it. " yeri let out a sigh, walking up to the kitchen. without a single struggle, she turned the stove on. " this shows who has been cooking since we started dating. "

" in my defense, neither you or my mother have made me try and cook before. so, because i could not care less, i decided to sit and watch. " sicheng tried to defend himself, but he was met with yeri laughing. " please, go and rest. "

" i would not rest, even for five pairs of brand new, limited edition louboutin shoes. " yeri replied to sicheng, as she held up a pan. she took out her bottle of oil, and brought the plate with chicken tenders next to her.

" i will buy you ten, if i knew you would stop over-working yourself. it is not easy to do all of this, and you need to realise that taking a break is good sometimes. " sicheng smiled towards yeri, who widened her eyes. " yes, i will buy you ten pairs of heels. "

" sicheng, what an angel you are ! " yeri smiled at her husband, walking up to him. she wrapped her arms around sicheng's back, getting closer to him. she was so short, why was she even trying to get to sicheng ? she was barely at his shoulder.

sicheng tried to hold her in his arms, but he quickly figured out that he was aging, and was unable to hold his wife. he let out a laugh, seeing that yeri was struggling on her own. ji-yoo watched with a smile on her face.

" mom, dad, i am not the one to break your romantic moment, but that pan is going to explode or something. " ji-yoo told her parents, as yeri jumped. she walked back to the pan, placing one of the chicken tenders on it.

sicheng let out a yawn. after a day filled with working, by completing files and calling different businessmen, he decided that he should rest. if yeri did not want to, he surely did. he left the kitchen, and instead walked into his bedroom.

there, he saw that xin-yi and han-jun were laying down on the giant bed, sleeping. their tablets were placed on the nightstands, while some of their toys were thrown around the bed. sicheng smiled, looking at his children.

the question was, where was he going to sleep ? he did not fit in their tiny beds, not even if he wanted to. sicheng then tried to see if he could get between the twins, but it was impossible. they would wake up and cry.

sicheng decided to change first. he walked into the closet, searching for what to wear. after a few moments, he looked out the door, seeing that xin-yi began to move around the bed. that meant that she was going to wake up soon.

suddenly, the door to the bedroom opened again. this time, it was yeri who walked in, with a smile on her face. she was happy that her children were sleeping, and not making a giant mess around somewhere else. it was a wonderful sight.
