If I Can't Have You... (An EXO fan fiction)

Chapter Ten

"Nothing...happened between you and Kyungsoo...right?", Suho whispered while we were only inches away. Suddenly I felt my feet turn to jelly but I maintained my posture.

"W...w...why do you ask?", I stuttered. I was quite nervous because his face was so close to mine and I felt self-conscious. What if my breath smelled like fish or what if I had coffee breath?

"Just...tell me nothing happened.", his expression was serious. His facial features hardened and if the room lighting was better, I could see veins sticking out from his neck.

"Of course nothing happened...", I half-lied. Nothing really happened, but then again, the thing happened with Kyungsoo wasn't exactly a staring contest. My heart fluttered, but I didn't want to admit it. I buried the butterflies deep in my stomach.

"Okay.", he finally smiled. He backed off a few steps until I could breathe normally again. I gasped for air desperately.

"Why are you so tense? Were you oxygen-deprived?", his laughter sounded very cute and I was relieved that we were no longer awkward. I already threw away every hard feeling I had for him yesterday and decided to change up my personality a little. Maybe I was the exaggerative one. It wasn't like someone like him could fall for someone like me. Never in a million years.

"Well, maybe because I'm hungry.", I didn't know what sense it made, but it was the only reason I could come up with.

"You're hungry?", he giggled,"then let's go grab something to eat.", he held my arm and dragged me towards the door.

It was a friendly gesture, right?

We joined other members inside the car and the guys decided to have samgyeobsal (pork belly) for dinner.

"Let's have chicken too, that crispy fried one.", Kai offered.

"Crispy fried? Do you have any idea how much weight I have gained from the past 2 days?", Baekhyun threw out his sassiness towards Kai.

"What weight? You look like a stick.", Chanyeol reached for Baekhyun's stomach and tried jiggling it.

"Should I make doenjang-jjigae (fermented soybean paste stew)?", I offered.

"Daebak, a girl who cooks is really my style.", Chanyeol flipped his hair. I messed it up to irritate him.

"Kyungsoo, will you help me?", I leaned forward to ask him personally. It was an exhilarating experience, watching Kyungsoo cook in the kitchen. He smiled and nodded once in response.

"Ya, why do you only ask Kyungsoo to help? I can help too!", Baekhyun patted his chest.

"We all know you only come into the kitchen for tasting the food and messing up the ingredients.", Suho attacked him, which was followed by the uproar of laughter in the car. I couldn't help but laughed out loud in union.

There were three post. The first post was the samgyeobsal post, consisted of Chanyeol, Chen and Suho. The second post is the doenjang-jjigae post, consisted of me, Kyungsoo and Xiumin. The last post was the rice post, consisted of Kai, Sehun and Baekhyun. I even tried to volunteer to cook the rice myself because why did they need three people to cook rice? You just wash the rice, measure the water and put it inside the rice cooker. It's not rocket science.

The last post was changed to the chicken-ordering plus rice-cooking post. Kai insisted on eating to his heart's content considering tour hadn't started.
