Korean Study Buddy (y.s.h)

13 (열셋)

You and Sanha walked side by side on the way to a park near the Han River. Sanha wanted that picnic date he kept telling you about.

He held the picnic basket in one hand leaving his other hand to awkwardly hang next to your free one.

Sanha had explained to you that since you were his first girlfriend, he's gonna be awkward at first, you understood and were okay with the slow pace of the relationship. He was your first relationship too.

Sanha looked down at your hand and bit his lips and finally spoke up, "Noona?"

"Hm?"

"C-can I-I hold your hand?!" He asked nervously.

You chuckled and nodded holding out your hand for him to hold.

Sanha held your hand and slowly intertwined his fingers with yours. You both looked away feeling your cheeks get hot.

When you both arrived at the park, there were other couples there, along with friends and a few family. Most were having picnics, some were taking photos by the Han River.

You and Sanha picked a perfect spot and laid out the yellow plaided blanket across the fresh cut grass. Sanha let you sit down first before sitting himself down being the gentleman he was.

You smiled when he took the guitar he brought from its strap around his back and placed it down next to the basket. He then began taking out the food his mom made for both of you.

"You're gonna teach me how to use chopsticks. Day 2 in Korea and I'm still bad at it haha."

"Haha okay! I teach you!" He said as he handed you one and held out a container with Gimbap in it.

"Hold like this." He instructed and showed you with his hand.

You tried mimicking what he did but the top and bottom kept adverting from each other.

"Almost! Move your thumb a bit."

You did so and the chopsticks fell onto the blanket.

You both laughed and he put the chopsticks back in your hand, this time adjusting your fingers into the correct position.

"Okay! Now open and close the chopsticks! Like this!" He said, showing you with his again.

You repeated the movement of the chopsticks and you grinned when it started matching sanha's example.

"Hey! I think I got it!!"

He clapped cheerfully, "Yeah!! Like that! Now grab one!"

Sanha grabs a gimbap with his chopsticks and puts it into his mouth, eating it.

You tried picking up the small round rice roll but it kept slipping between the chopsticks every time you tried.

"Ugh I just wanna eat." You groaned making Sanha giggle.

"Alright, I'll feed you. Open up!" He said cutely.

You chuckled and put the chopsticks down and let Sanha put a gimbap in your mouth. Your eyes widened at its delicious flavor.

"Wow, your mom cooks amazing!" You said whole chewing.

"Right!! Haha!" He agreed and fed himself one.

"Ooh okay, let's play fast facts! We can learn more about each other haha!" You said after he fed you another one.

"Fast facts? How do you play?"

"Oh, I'll say a category and on the count of three we say the answer to it as fast as we can!"

"Ah! Okay! Fun!!" He exclaimed as he put the now empty container down.

"Alright, favorite color, one, two, three, PINK!"

"PINK!"

"We have the same favorite!!" You exclaimed.

"I like not too bright pink, like...calm pink?"

"Ah nice! Yeah I hate bright pink too, pastel is the perfect area haha. Alright, coffee or tea, one, two, three- TEA!"

"TEA!! I can't drink coffee hahaha!"

"I just think coffee is too bitter. Not my area. How about you do the next round."

"Okay! Hmm...favorite thing to do! One, two, three! PLAY GUITAR!!"

"SLEEP!!"

You both laughed after that round at the outcomes of the facts.

"Okay, guitar I already know for you!"

"Yup! My dad and brothers teach me when I was young. I want to be a guitarist!"

"Oh cool!"

"Sleep, I know you like sleep a lot! Hahaha. But...more than me?!" Sanha said with a cute pout.

"Never more than you. Don't worry!" You said and poked his cheek.

His face got red a bit with blush and you cooed at how cute he was.

Sanha perked and he pulled out the second container with the next dish. It was also in a roll but yellow. You looked at it in curiosity.

"Whatcha call that one?"

"Gaeran Mari! Ahh...I don't know in English...it is, rolled fried egg with vegetables and some ham!"

You thought for a bit of what it could be in English to help him out and a lightbulb went off in your brain, "Oh! Omelette! It's an omelette!"

He grinned and nodded, "Yes! Korean Omelette! Hahaha. Try some!"
