4. chocolate cookies

KIM BAE EUN

After a 15 minutes walk, I finally reached home.

I'm so tired of walking everyday, I should really buy myself a car.

I lied on the couch, relaxed, and took off my cap, throwing it to the other couch.

Ah, home sweet home.

An idea suddenly popped up in my head.

Let's bake chocolate cookies!

Making my way to the kitchen, I thought of something.

How about sharing some with the new neighbour?

I tied my long, dark hair up in a high ponytail, got some eggs, flour and chocolate chips from the refrigerator. After that I proceeded to make chocolate cookies. (I don't know how to make cookies haha so let's just skip the steps)

Lastly, I placed the unbaked cookies into the oven.

There's some time left until it's done.

What should I do now?

Being a lazy ass, I decided to do nothing and just sit on the floor waiting for my cookies to be done.

-

"Ding!"

My chocolate cookies are ready, woohoo!

Excited, I opened the oven and carefully took out the freshly baked chocolate cookies with a pair of gloves on.

Smells good.

I tasted one of it, and it's actually pretty good.

Taking out a container, I poured the chocolate cookies into it. As for those for my new neighbour... Jisung? I put them into a glass jar, since it's a present after all.

YOON JISUNG

I'm bored. I don't feel like unpacking the boxes. There's just too much. I suddenly regret not throwing those useless decorations.

I took a look at my watch, it's currently
11:30 a.m.

...

I feel like getting some sweets.

"Let's buy some... " I mumbled to myself.
I took my wallet and my phone along, planning to go to the nearest convenience store.

I locked my front door, and took a look at my soon-to-be-decorated garden.

I took a deep breath, inhaling some fresh air.

What a beautiful spring day!

As I walked down the road, I saw a woman heading towards my house, a small cloth bag on her right hand.

I stopped my pace and took a closer look.

Wait, isn't this the woman next door? The one I greeted this morning but swore because she's late to her 'date' and left before I was able to have a proper conversation with her???

Wait, she's walking towards me.

"Hi, do you remember me? I'm your neighbour. I live next door. " She says, dimples appearing as she smiles.

"Yea, I remember you. You're Bae Eun, right? "

She smiled again, "Yes." She looked at me, then my house, then me again.

"Are you heading out?"

"Yea, I'm thinking about getting some sweets..." I answered, eyes locked on her. She's so beautiful... "..may I know why are you looking for me?"

She chuckled, "I baked some chocolate cookies, and I thought why not share some of it with you, so here I am."

"I was going to properly introduce myself to you, but if you're going out, " She handled me the chocolate cookies, and I gladly accepted it.

"Thank you." I gave her a smile.

"Now, if you excuse me... " She turned around, probably going to go back to her house.

"Wait, " I grabbed her by her wrist, turning her back to my direction, "Do you want to come to my house?"

OMG WHAT AM I DOING AM I INSANE WHO TF DOES THIS TO SOMEONE THEY JUST MET TODAY ASDFGHJKL

She looks shocked, I can tell from her expression. "Uh, you know, chocolate cookies are also sweet, so now I don't have to go to the convenience store to buy more, " I let go of her wrist, awkwardly scratched my nape, "We can still get to know each other, and I thought that it might be uncomfortable to talk in the middle of the road so-"

How should I explain ahhhhhhhhhh

She cut me off, "It's okay, I understand what you are trying to say, " she chuckled, dimples showing again, "So, mind leading me?"

Phew.

"S-sure, follow me, "
