Still You (ZhengKun)

[7] Cooking Ex-Lovers

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Wenjun asks Zhengting through phone.

“Of course, I just miss you.. so much,” he sighed. “When are you coming back?”

“I don’t know yet, baby. But I might stay here a little bit longer because of my Mom.”

“Aw, that’s fine. Just inform me if you’re coming back already so I can pick you up at the airport.”

“Okay, baby.” Wenjun assured him when someone knocks on the door.

“I’ll go now, Wenjun. Someone’s knocking, it might be the food I ordered. I love you. Take care there, okay?”

“Yes, baby. I love you too and eat well.”

He hung up. Someone knocks again. “Ugh, coming!” When he opened the door, he was surprised.

“Food delivery for Mr. Zhu Zhengting.” Xukun said.

“W-what are you doing here?”

“I came to see you. I saw the delivery man outside so I said that I’ll give it and I paid it already for you,” he entered Zhengting’s house. “let’s eat!”

“Who told you you can enter my house? Leave. I will not eat that anymore, take it. I’m not hungry.” Zhengting said it to make Xukun leave but his stomach betrayed him as it makes its sound. Xukun giggled.

“You’re obviously hungry,” he placed the foods in the table. “but I won’t let you eat foods from fast food chains. I’ll cook for you.” Xukun make his way to the kitchen, as if he owns the house. Zhengting followed him to the kitchen.

“Here,” Xukun puts the apron to Zhengting. “cook with me.” he says and gives a sweet smile to Zhengting.

“You don’t need to cook. I can eat the food that I ordered.” Zhengting told him but it seems like Xukun won’t bother to leave his house so he just let Xukun do it.

Zhengting was staring at Xukun while he is chopping the ingredients. The scenario seems familiar. He somehow feels like he’s… home. He can still remember how Xukun loves to cook for him years ago. How Xukun loves to be watched by Zhengting while he’s cooking. Now, it’s happening again.

“Zhengting, do you mind to help me wash these?” Xukun asks for help and Zhengting did not refuse. He’s too hungry to argue with Xukun.

“Here.” he gave the ingredients to Xukun and he was about to leave but Xukun grabs his wrist. “Stay here, I’ll teach you how to cook this.” they’re staring in each other’s eyes for 3 seconds when Zhengting realized it.

“Oh! U-uh, okay.” They’re now cooking together. The feeling is familiar. He missed this feeling, he cannot deny.

“Wait, your apron.” Xukun go to Zhengting”s back to fix the apron, and he takes advantage of the situation.

He hugged Zhengting from behind. “I missed this,” he whispered to his ear. “I’m not going to stop until you admit you still love me.” Zhengting froze. He don’t know why he’s not doing anything or saying anything. Xukun smirked at he bites Zhengting’s ear. Zhengting felt the butterflies in his stomach. Shit, what did just happen?
