mad love // lee jeno

Chapter 10

"she's such a pretty girl." his father commented while they're eating dinner. however, as usual bora was kinda scared to eat the food. she just stared at the food and sometimes stared at jeno too. how can he not notice her situation?

jeno's mom grinned and chuckled. "i know right. jeno had such a nice taste for girls."

the boy groaned in annoyance, putting down his chopsticks before whining at his mother. "eomma i told you she's not my girlfriend."

her mother smirked at her son. "i understand, honey. she's our future daughter in law."

"mom!"

while they were laughing and having a happy time, bora was still debating herself either to eat or not. that's until jeno's father noticed that she's not eating. he slightly kicked his son's leg and pointed at the girl.

"hey, what's wrong? why you're not eating?" after felt like a decade jeno finally asked her as she looked up at him. by looking at her eyes, jeno already knew what's her problem.

"eomma, did you put garlic in the dishes?" jeno asked while his mother thought for awhile. she pointed out at a few dishes.

"i put garlic in these two. but this is garlic-free. why? did bora allergic to garlic?" she asked as jeno nodded.

"aigoo... why didn't you tell me earlier? i'm sorry, bora." his mother apologised as the girl smiled and said that it's fine. however, she has one more problem.

she didn't know how to use chopsticks. sounds crazy but that's the truth. it's been about 500 years since the last time she used them.

she leaned closer towards jeno and whispered to him. "how to use this? can you help me?"

jeno's eyes widened as he eyed the girl. oh, yeah... vampires don't use chopsticks. he thought to himself.

"can you use spoon and fork?" he asked but bora's pouted and shook her head.

"feed me. like you did this afternoon." bora requested as jeno's cheeks slightly heated up. well, he really enjoyed feeding the one he likes but to do it in front of his parents, man... jeno had to think twice.

"please.. or i won't eat."

"w-well... t-then d-don't e-eat!"

"but i don't want to disappoint your parents."

"w-well... i-i don't w-want to embarrass myself!"

"what are you two bickering about?" jeno's mom asked as she looked at the two teenagers who were whispering-shouted the whole time.

"nothing!" they both exclaimed at the same time. jeno's parents raised their eyebrows.

"it's jeno's fault. he won't feed me." bora said as she crossed her arms. jeno's parents looked at jeno while the boy's eyes widened. he was shook.

"jeno, you're a grown up 18 years old boy. your father and i don't really mind if you wanted to feed your girlfriend." his mother said as his father nodded while they both grinning.

"see, even your parents don't mind. don't you like me anymore?" bora pouted as she looked away from jeno, making the boy's jaw dropped.

"since we already finish eating, we will leave you too alone." his mother said as she hit her husband's arm, signing him to leave with her. then, jeno's parents leave the dining table leaving the boy alone with the girl.

"now... can we eat?" bora asked, handing jeno her food.

jeno sighed in defeat. "why did i even like you?"

she smirked at him. "because i'm special."

jeno cringed at her but lowkey fluttering inside. he grabbed a spoon and began to feed the girl. it took a while to feed her the whole bowl.

"you're the first human to feed me."

"really? i feel so honoured." jeno said as he clenched his heart. bora smiled and put her hands on jeno's thighs, making the boy jumped in shocked.

"i like you." she said and jeno can felt goosebumps all over his body. he unintentionally dropped the spoon he was holding and luckily, it fell into the empty bowl.

"i-i like you too." he confessed as he took bora's hands away from his thighs. to avoid any awkwardness, he stood up to wash the dishes. while he was washing the dishes, the girl just staring at his back.

suddenly, they heard jeno's mother shouted. "honey, jaemin and renjun are here!"

jeno quickly dashed to the door and greeted his friends with a smile and their best friend handshakes. bora just stood against the wall, watching the boys as a smile formed on her face when she saw them.

they all went to jeno's room and locked the door once they're all in. "so, what's up?" renjun asked as he sat on one of jeno's bean bags.

jeno went to his closet and pulled out the first aid kit his father was looking for. he put it on a desk and took out a syringe.

"now... who know how to use this?" he held the syringe as jaemin and renjun exchanged looks.

"i didn't sign up for medical course." jaemin said as renjun put his hands in the air as an act of defeated.

"why didn't you ask your father? he's a doctor!" renjun said as jeno rolled his eyes.

"sure. i can go to him and say hey dad will you take out my blood? i want to give it to bora so she can drink it." jeno said sarcastically as renjun mouthed 'good points'.

jaemin thought before coming up with another idea. "how about your sister? she's a medical student right?"

jeno sighed and shook his head. "she's out for some stupid medic camp."

jeno convinced jaemin and renjun to help him out. after a few attempts, they finally agreed to help him although the risk is as high as mount everest.

they searched through the internet on how to use the syringe and after going through a bunch of websites and videos, they finally had the guts to do it.

"ready?"

"ready."
