Suga's Sister (Book 1)

Chapter: 33

Jade's POV:
(Time skip to later that night)

I had just set out the last tray of food, I had spent all afternoon cooking snacks for tonight's Study group meeting with the other international kids. I had decided to make a bunch of appetizer and different things for us to just snack on, since we were all supposed to be getting together after they had dinner and finished with their afternoon rehearsals or workout schedules or whatever. But since I didn't want to have nothing to offer them I spent the afternoon whipping a few things up. I had made them my famous homemade spinach and artichoke dip, as well as my famous stuffed mushrooms. I had also made some fried cheesesticks, fried Zucchini, some green bean fries and some fried pickles. Then I made some loaded potato skins as well as freshly made bruschetta which I served on Melba toast and some fresh made guacamole and salsa, which I served along side the spinach and artichoke dip, with some corn chips. As well as cut up some fresh fruits and veggies in order to offer the guys some healthier options, but all the food was snacks type items and were vegetarian so that I would be able to eat them as well. All the while I was cooking I kept the tv on in the back ground and kept it on Mnet, so that I could be sure to catch the boys comeback stage on my countdown which they had already begun teasing. But it was about a quarter to 7 when my first guests actually arrived and So I quickly stripped myself of my apron as I ran to get the door, and quickly threw it open to find the NCT members standing there. So I quickly bowed down to greet them while I hid the apron behind my back and beckoned them to come on in. They all politely reciprocated my greeting before following me in to the dorm making sure to leave their shoes by the door. Yuta, Ten, WinWin, Mark, RenJun, and ChenLe, then followed me a little further into the dorm while glancing around admiringly, before coming to a halt with their jaws dropped as they eyed the delicious food.

Mark: Wow this looks amazing, but you didn't have to cook so much just for us. It must of taken you forever to make all this. *he said admiringly, while blushing slightly, which caused me to blush a little bit too*

Jade: oh uh well it was really no big deal, I mean it is just a few snacks that I threw together because I didn't want to have you all over with nothing to offer you guys as that would of been rude. Besides uh I like to cook and stuff, so this actually gave me reason to brush up on my cooking skills, so I am happy for the opportunity. Anyway uh please come in and have a seat *i said causally, gesturing them towards the couch and they all smiled gratefully before quickly going to take a seat, and I joined them.* so uh welcome to my uh home, uh this is probably the first time we have actually hungout outside of school huh, uh please feel free to speak comfortably with me and sort of just relax and chill out, I mean I would like us to be friends so we might as well get comfortable with each other. *i said politely, though a little nervous since things were so awkward, but still the guys all nodded and WinWin suddenly reached out to try one of the fried Pickles that were on the plate in front of him and his face suddenly lit up happily*

WinWin: omo, this is so good. I thought it was a French fry, like one of those big steak fries you know, but it's not. It's... It's... Well I don't really know what it is to be honest but you have got to try it. *he quickly said bragging to his friends who all chuckled at him but began to try it themselves all groaning in pleasure too, and I laughed*

Jade: that's a fried pickles. You basically take a sliced pickle and deep fry it, it's a very very common snacky type appetizer from America, particularly in the south. In fact all these snacks are very American, and they are also all vegetarian, since I am a vegetarian and can't eat meat. So they should be pretty healthy, minis these fried ones here (I said pointing at them) although since they are still vegetables fried or not I am sure that they still have some nutritional value. Here try this one, this is called fried Zucchini, it is similar to the fried pickles, but with Zucchini, I also have some green bean fries here that are pretty good, and then it you like spinach and artichoke they this dip will taste like heaven to you. I am actually pretty famous for it back home. *i said pointing to the different dishes before getting interrupted by a knock on the door.* oh uh excuse me *i suddenly said getting up to go get the door.*
