The Singer's Dream

Lunch by the falls

Irene's POV:

We are having lunch by the falls, we swam and had fun kanina. Ngayon, kumakain na kami ng lunch sa restaurant na nasa falls. The set up was may mga upuan malapit sa falls, once you sit down, a wait staff will come and assist you if you don't have a picnic basket. Seung-wan ordered some grilled fish and shrimps for us to eat. She also ordered some local dishes like the fish stew, mushroom and other veggies as banchan. I watched as Seung-wan tried her best to remove fish bones on her fish. I laughed at the pace she was going, mas mabagal pa siyang mag-himay kesa sa pagong. I got her fish from her plate. She looked at me questioningly.

"Ako na mag-hihimay nito, balatan mo na lang yung shrimps." I said to her.

She grinned at me widely and said.

"Thank you, mine."

I proceeded to de-bone the milkfish with my chopsticks, holding the fish by its skin, I plucked the bones off it using my chopsticks. In under a minute, I completely removed every bone from the fish, I placed the meat of the fish on her plate.

"H-how did you do that?" She said in awe.

"I plucked the bones?" I said unsure of what to answer, because I just plucked off the bones from the fish, I don't get why she's asking how I did it.

"Ang galing naman mine." She said smiling as she picks up her chopsticks to taste the fish.

Her eyes widened pag-subo nya, dahil wala na itong tinik. She chews and swallows the fish. She raised her two thumbs up in approval.

"Wow, what else can you do? That fish was perfectly boneless." She said with a grin.

"I can make the bad guys good for a weekend." I said winking at her seductively.

"Hahaha! Mine, that's a Taylor Swift song." She said laughing.

"Biro lang." I said to her.

"Mine, thank you ha? Kung hindi mo hinimay yung isda, baka mamaya pa ako matapos sa pagkain." She said laughing.

"No problem mine. Bakit naman? Hindi ka sanay kumain ng isda?" I said to her.

"Hindi sa hindi sanay, when I was five, natinik ako sa isda, kamuntik nang tumusok sa throat ko yung buto. Ever since then natakot na akong kumain ng isda. I only ordered fish, because you might want fish." She said smiling.

My Seung-wan conquering her fears for me was such a turn on for me, gahd! Why does she have to be so sweet and thoughtful? At bakit ako nate-turn on? 😳

"You've conquered your childhood fear, thank you mine." I said to her.

"I did, come to think of it. I ordered it." She said in agreement.

"Eto tuturuan kita ng paghihimay ng isda. Watch and learn." I said to her.

Hinimay ko muna ang mag-kabilang side ng isda, I then divided the sides to chunks, I picked up a chunk of fish, then proceeded to pluck the bones out using my chopstick.

"See?" I said showing her the chunk of boneless fish I had in my hand.

"Wow. You make this seem easier." She said.

"Yung bones kasi naka-dikit talaga siya sa pinaka back bone nila, so tanggalin mo muna sila doon sa back bone nila, bago mo alisin yung mga maliliit na tinik." I said to her.

"Noted po Miss Bae." She grinned widely.

She peeled the shrimps using her chopsticks, she puts them on my plate after. To which I placed some of it on her plate. Ganito kami kumain ni Wendy. She tried to de-bone the rest of the fish herself. Isinubo nya sa akin ang isang piraso ng isda, she was a fast learner dahil walang tinik ang isang piraso na binigay nya.
