The Hongs Reunite

Ch. 11

Jungah's POV

I have somehow convinced Vernon to help me cook and he obeyed me despite being reluctant about the idea of himself cooking.

"Jungah, this is so wrong! I have never cooked before! Not even once in my life!" He whined as he help me tie my apron around my waist, "well, then it's going to be an experience for you"

Vernon let out a grunt of disagreement as he lean on the kitchen's counter, "so, what am I gonna do?" "You're gonna be captain potty mouth of the s.s. you talk too damn much" I answered carelessly whole tying my hair and looking at my recipe book at the same time.

"Yah! You're mean" he said while pulling my ponytail, making me stumble back a few steps, "yah! Vernon!" I whined.

After a bit of arguing between us, we decided that it's best if we just cook instead of playing, "I'll prepare the meat for the galbi tang and you go ahead and chop the vegetables, I need them in a medium sized chunks" I said while taking out a large sized pot knowing that I have to cook a lot since I'm feeding blackholes and not humans.

We both cook in silence, focusing on our works and not even sparing a single glance at each other.

My phone suddenly rang, "who could that be?" I mumbled to myself, I put everything down and wipe my hands on my apron.

I walk over to the table where I put my phone on and answered the call without looking at the caller, "hello?" I asked.

"Noona!!" The voice from the other line squeaked happily and that's when I realized that it was Dongjae, "waah! Dongjae-ah!" I answered happily.

Vernon came over and poke me on my arm, "who's that?" He mouthed at me, "my cousin" I mouthed back as I put my phone on speaker mode, "Dongjae-ah, why are you calling noona?"

"I miss you noona! When are you coming back?"

"I don't know yet, Dongjae... my work is not done here..." I sighed.

"What...? But you promise!! And you have to come home! W-what if something's gonna happen to you!?" He began to cry.

By then I already panicked and without me knowing, Vernon took over, "hello? Dongjae?"

"W-who are you? Where's my n-noona?"

"I'm her friend, she's actually working with us"

"My noona is w-working with boys??"

"Yes, and believe me, we're taking a really good care of your noona so I promise you that your noona is okay"

There was a couple seconds of silence before Dongjae finally replied, "you promise me, hyung?"

"Yes, I promise with all my heart"

"Okay... but you better take care of noona! Noona is kind and soft, she is too prescious!!"

And then he hung up before neither of us could answer him.

Vernon laughed and pat my head, "your cousin seems to love you more than anything" "yeah, I mean he-" "despite you being a really vigorous monster around us" he snickered.

My eyes widened and I hit his shoulder.

"Ow!" "Your fault for being mean" I stick my tongue out at him, "and you are being mean too at me!" He said and hoist me up while spinning me around.

I laughed loudly while slapping his arms that are wrapped around my waist, "yah!! Vernon! Let me go!!" I squealed at him.

He seem to ignored my pleads, "call me oppa first" he grinned as slowed down, as he slowed down I scoffed at him, "as if" I was about to pry his hands off of my waist when he suddenly spin me around again, but faster.
