Racers - Kang Daniel

23 - Do for You

When we arrived home Daniel quickly took out the matching items and sorted them out, while I went to the kitchen to start cooking.

"Wow, you look like a chef" he said as he gave me the matching slippers and dining utensils.

I smiled as I looked at him getting so excited with everything.

"Come on, let's eat" I said as I served the food on the table.

"Wah. It smells really good. Where did you learn how to cook?" he asked

"When I was a kid, I used to disturb my mom when she was cooking in the kitchen" I said. "Another scar that I have in my heart" I said in my mind as I recalled the memory. But I quickly shook it off, because I didn't want him to have anything more to worry about me. It's already too much for him.

Daniel saw your face changed somehow bitter, he wondered what happened at that time too, but he didn't ask.

"I don't think you're just disturbing, because this food is to die for. It's so good. Can I have some more?" he asked.

"Really? I'm glad you like it" I smiled as I gave him another serving.

After we ate, he was busy asking me to try on the matching pajamas and brush our teeth together using the matching toothbrush.

"You like that I stay here that much?" I asked, and he nodded frantically. I chuckled as I looked at him. "Good night Daniel" I said as I kissed him on the cheek before I went to my room.

I was running around happily in the kitchen. Then I paid attention closely to my mom's every movement and copied right after she did it.

"(y/n), could you hold the plate? I want to pour this" my mom asked as she held a pan then poured the content to the plate on my hand.

"Ouch!" I screamed as the hot pan grazed my thumb.

"Shush! You're overreacting. Don't tell your Dad about this. He'll scold me if he knew" she warned.

"But it hurts though. I'm not overreacting. She didn't even ask if I'm okay, all she care is that my Dad won't found out about this" I said in my mind. "Am I really your kid Mom? Why do you treat me like this? WHY?!"

I woke up huffing and sweating like crazy. "Damn it! Why do I have to dream about it?" I wondered. I could still feel the hot graze of the pan on my thumb.

"Babe, are you okay?" Daniel asked as he came to my room.

"Hey. I'm sorry, did I wake you? I'm okay, I just had a bad dream" I said as I flashed a smile and wiped my sweat.

"Oh, it's okay. It's just a dream" he said as he hugged me.

"No it's not just a dream Daniel, it happened before and now it's haunting me in my dreams. My dad told me that my mom have nightmares about her childhood. What if I turn into her?" I thought in my mind. I was so scared, so I hugged him tight.

Daniel felt you hugged him tightly, so he patted your back.

"Aren't you tired?" you asked him suddenly.

"Hmm?" he asked.

"Aren't you tired of taking care of me? I'm too troublesome Daniel. I have too many scars physically and mentally. I haven't done anything for you, not even sex, why..." you ranted but got cut when he kissed you.

"I told you before that you talk too much, right? No, I'm not tired, and you're not troublesome. I don't mind your scars physically and mentally. I told you we'll get through this together, and I told you that I'll wait until you're ready. If you want to do something for me, how about starting with you sleep next to me, so I could finally breathe and sleep peacefully?" he said as he looked at you while caressing your hair and you nodded.

In the morning, Daniel woke up without you beside him. Then he heard some noises in the kitchen.

"Babe, what are you doing so early in the morning?" he asked as he saw you in the kitchen.

"Oh Good Morning. I'm sorry, did I wake you again? Was I too loud?" you asked as you looked at him.

"No you're not. I was just surprised when I couldn't find you beside me" he said as he kissed you. "What are you making?" he asked as he looked at the pan.

"Yesterday you asked me if I could make this, so I want to make it for you" you said as you continued cooking.

"But I don't remember we bought these yesterday" he said as he looked at the ingredients.

"Ah I bought them this morning, I found a groceries nearby" you said lightly.

"Hhh. I told you, you don't have to do this. I want you to stay here with me as my girlfriend not a housemaid" he said as he hugged you from the back and kissed your shoulder. "Aaah! But it smells so good! Fine, you can cook for me, but promise me that we'll do the other house chores together" he said and you nodded.

I was so happy that Daniel like my food, at least there's something that I could do for him.

"So what's your plan today?" he said as we're having our breakfast.

"I'm gonna take care of the move out, and quit some of my jobs, so I can spend more time with you" I said.

"For real? God I'm so happy right now. Thank you" he said before he kissed me. "We can take care of the move out tomorrow, I have to run an errand today" he continued. I assured him that I didn't mind to do it on my own, because I wanted to wrap it up as soon as I could.

"Ah, I really want to accompany youuu" he pouted as he snuggled his cheek on my hand, and I caressed his hair.

I went to my apartment to pack my things and move out. Good thing I didn't have that many stuffs to begin with. Less is more. Then I went to the restaurant and bike repairing center to quit my job.

"(y/n)?" someone called me when I was about to leave. It was Seongwoo, Daniel's best friend.

"Oh Seongwoo, how are you? It's been a while" I asked.

"I'm good. I heard you decided to move in with Daniel?" he asked.

"Hahaha he told you already? You guys must be really close" I replied.

"Hahaha yeah. But don't worry, I always told him to leave out the details" he said as he winked and I chuckled. "He called me yesterday, he sounded so excited. He asked me what he should do, so I joked that he should bought all matching things with you. Hahaha" he continued.

"Mmm, he really did bought them though" I said.

"He what? Geez I was just kidding. I didn't know he was tacky" he said as he was shocked.

"No it's alright. I like it too. I'm happy because he's excited" I confessed.

"Hmm tacky couple then. So what makes you look so troubled then?" he asked suddenly.

"Wow. I'm not even your best friend but I can't hide anything from you, can I?" I asked.

"Hahaha. I have a knack to sense that kind of thing, you know? So what's wrong?" he asked.

"I feel bad because I'm only receiving from him. I want to do something for him too. What should I do?" I asked.
