The things we do for love (Twice FF| Completed|Book 1)

9. Fondness grows with smile

'We are home,' Jeongyeon said as he entered with hands full of grocery bags. Momo followed him with more bags.

Chaeyoung was slouched on the couch with his legs spread and feet resting on the table in front of him. He was furiously typing something on his phone.

'Why are you lazing around?' Jeongyeon said as he kept the grocery bags on the table.

'I'm updating my blog. Just a sec,' the maknae answered.

Jeongyeon took out a tuna can from one of the bags and threw it at Chaeyoung's crotch. Bullseye!

'Oww!' he grabbed his groin and curled up on the couch.

'You were in a rude position. Close your legs. Be presentable in front of the lady,' Jeongyeon said. Momo smiled a little.

'All right, all right,' Chaeyoung said. He got up to help Momo and Jeongyeon carry the bags to kitchen.

'Where are my luggage?'

'I moved it in your room , Momo. How did you end up here?' Chaeyoung asked.

'I was looking for a home close to work. Turns out all the three of us will work for Callbox.'

'Wow! We are the under the same roof and will work for the same company. Isn't it some crazy fate? I feel like there's an extraordinary destiny waiting for us ahead,' he chuckled.

'Why hadn't you start cleaning, Chaeyoung? There are stuff left by the previous tenants,' Jeongyeon nagged.

'Well, I was fixing the kitchen drawers and the cupboard door. See? It's working fine now.'

Jeongyeon checked it. Sure it was good as new.

'Now I'll go check what's wrong with the AC,' Chaeyoung said and left the kitchen.

'I'll start sorting out the stuff we need to put away then,' Jeongyeon said.

'What about me? What do I do?' Momo asked.

'You can cook for us.'

'I have never cooked before but once. It was salmon fried rice and it didn't  I turn out good.'

'You can try again. Omelette is easy. Cook that,' Jeongyeon said and left.

Now Momo was left alone in the kitchen. And she was in deep trouble because she didn't know even the most basic thing about cooking.

Five minutes later Jeongyeon entered the kitchen with a plastic bag. There was trash in the kitchen's bin which the previous tenant didn't clean. He came to collect that but he found Momo holding an egg on her left hand and a knife on her right. She was closely studying the egg.

'What are you trying to do?' Jeongyeon asked.

'I'm trying to open the egg.'

Jeongyeon couldn't believe it. He was shocked. She really knew nothing about cooking.

'It's really is your first time, I see. Then why don't you use a spoon instead,' Jeongyeon said.

Momo kept the knife aside and picked up a spoon. She tried to saw the egg with the spoon moving back and forth over it.

'YAAA, that's not how you do it!?'

'Then how?' she blankly said.

He hit his palm on his forehead in frustration.

'Do you think I am stupid? If I hit the egg like that on my forehead it will crack and  the egg will be all over my face!'

'At least you know that egg can be cracked,' he said while emptying the trash into the plastic bag.
