Chap 36: Pizza

Jaemin's POV

"Renjun, is everything okay?"

"Yeah, it's fine, let's eat. I'm pretty hungry."

Jeno shot his eyes open and rushed to grab a slice of the pizza he was so desperately craving.
He took his first bite and chewed rapidly before his face froze. (Jeno.exe has stopped working)
All eyes were on him, especially Mr. Cha's, expecting a reaction.

"It's.. uhm, good.. I guess? Be right back." He shot up from his chair, hiding his gagging with his hand.

"Is it really that bad?" Renjun asked as he took a slice to taste what invoked such a reaction from Jeno.

He took a bite nonchalantly and chewed for a few seconds, his eyebrows slowly furrowing together.
"It's not that ba-," he was cut off by his own violent coughs as he placed the slice back onto the plate and was desperately looking around for a drink.

Mr. Cha had the ends of his lips curled downwards as he looked down at his feet.

"I'm sorry, I tried my best for you guys, but I'm not that good at cooking."

"Mr. Cha, it's just pizza, you don't have to be so emotional over it." I offered out my words of sympathy.

"Yeah, it's not that bad, honestly. It's just a bit spicy and has a weird, strange taste to it."

I took a slice cautiously after hearing Renjun's review.
And oh my hell, I should not have listened to him. The taste was so bad, it felt like I was french kissing a garbage truck. I slowly backed away from the two, who were busy trying to get Renjun to stop his coughs, to enter the kitchen and spat out the contents from my mouth into the dustbin. Jeno had already done so and was gargling his mouth with the apple juice he had found in the fridge.

"What the heck did he put in that?" My entire mouth is on fire and the disgusting taste wasn't being washed away with water.

"Do you want me to kiss the taste away?"

"No, you probably taste like it too."

Hearing that, he took a few more swigs of the apple juice and handed it to me.

"Here, drink this, then."

Gladly accepting the drink, I chugged down at least half of it to mask away the taste, only stopping to catch my breath.

"Slow down, you'll choke."

Renjun's POV:

"Here. Water."
Snatching the glass being handed to me, I gulped down the contents at light speed.

Mr. Cha took a seat next to me and stared at the failure of a pizza placed infront of him as he wondered what to do with it.

I felt bad for him, seeing all the trouble he had gone through to just prepare that pizza for us, so I did something which I knew I would regret and could give me the title of being braver than the marines.

I stood up and hyped myself up for what I'd do next. I took the slice I had never wanted to touch again, and shoved it into my mouth. Almost throwing up, but still chewing on and fighting through the pain in my mouth, I finished the slice.

Mr. Cha looked completely flabbergasted and handed me another glass of water to which I denied as I grabbed another slice. Aggressive chewing and a hard swallow later, I took another slice.

And then, another one.

"Hey, stop it! You're going to choke!" He got up and tried snatching the slice away from me as I blocked him away with my freehand.
