The Old and The New

Chapter 4

"This is so delicious."

Jennie was slurping the hot soup from the ball much to Jisoo's amusement.

"Woah, slow down. It's hot."

"But it's really good!"

"How long have you not had home cooked food?"

"I don't really cook. My ex doesn't either. So we ate out most of the time."

"Seriously, that's sad. I enjoy cooking."

"Are you sure you're an architect?"

"Why?"

"You should cook."

Jisoo chuckled softly before sipping her water from the glass. She made herself fried kimchi rice with egg and made a beef-minced porridge including some soup. Jennie was eating well.

"Are you feeling better now?"

"Yes, thanks."

Jisoo looked at the time on the clock and got up promptly. Jennie's eyes followed her as she ate her porridge diligently. She was wondering where Jisoo was heading to now. Jisoo appeared shortly with a glass of water in her left hand and a white plastic bag in her right hand.

"What is that?"

"Medicine. It's time to eat your medicine."

"Urgh."

"What's with that expression?"

"I hate medicine."

"You have to eat it if you want to get well."

Jennie looked up and saw Jisoo's sincere eyes. They were filled with concern and Jennie was obliged to take the medicine. She popped the pills into her mouth and Jisoo gave her the glass of water. Once done, she took the glass from Jennie's hand and the empty plates on the table.

"You rest there. I bought some fruits. I'll cut them up for you."

Jisoo disappeared into the kitchen once again and Jennie could hear the water gushing out probably from the tap. Jennie looked around her house; it was clean. Jisoo apparently helped to clear out her dirty clothes and even did the laundry. Well, she had the excuse because she needed to wash her dirty clothes.

"Do you eat strawberry?"

"Yes I do."

"Okay."

Jisoo re-appeared again with a plate of strawberries and sat beside Jennie.
