"Why should I?"

"Well, since you seem to be playing on adding something to the menu or baking something, couldn't you make me something too," he counters.

"Umm. No," I said with as much sass that I could muster at the moment. 

"...why not?"

"Because  I am already baking some goodies for everyone here," I offered.

"But what if I want something special that no one else is going to get?"

"Why do you deserve to get something special?"

"..."

"Exactly. Now, go away so I can get back to what I was doing," I declared and grabbed the cookbook away from him. For a second, I thought he pouted but decided against that thought because that is ridiculous. Someone like him don't pout, right? He usually is not that expressive from what I have seen so far. 

~during service hours~

"Kihyun-ah, can you make some more cakes? I think we are going to run out soon," says Jin.

"Okay, hyung," I replied before going to the pantry and fridge to take out the necessary ingredients to make red velvet cake.

~fastforward the cake batter making and baking~

*alarm goes off*

  After it went off,  I opened the oven doors and tried to take the cakes out with oven mitts on. But, I did not account for  my forearm to touch the hot rack that supporting the cakes. "Ow," I half shouted and dropped one of the cakes onto the oven door. I winced at the pain and blew at the reddening skin on my forearm.

 Seeing this from the other side of the kitchen, Hyunwoo drags me over to one of the kitchen sinks, put my forearm under the facet, and  turns on the cold water to cool it down. "Pabo. Be careful. You're a chef. You cannot hurt your hands," he mutters under his breath. I stared at him owlishly instead of responding as everything seemed to happen so fast. 

"I...," started to say. He ignores me, grabs an ice pack for me, and sets it down on the injured area. Feeling the coolness of ice, I subconsciously tried to pull my arm away but he holds on tight. "It's fine. It is not the first time I burned myself and it won't be the last."

He sets down the ice pack on the table and looks at me in the eyes. "Don't ever hurt yourself in front of me. I don't like it."
