I’m preparing dinner for both Jessica unnie and I because she said she was tired from work. I’m so guilty knowing that I haven’t much of a help for her. Sometimes I’m thinking how useless I am as a secretary because I don’t do much, I don’t have much work to do.
“Why are you always in a deep thought?” I looked up and met a confused childlike boss of mine who’s sitting on her chair while she was hugging her knee.
“It was nothing unnie.” I said as I went back stirring the dish that I’m cooking as our dinner.
“You sure?... you know, you haven’t told me yet the reason why you are so stressed since past few weeks.”
Right, she didn’t know about the anonymous message that is not so anonymous anymore because I already met him and I don’t think telling unnie about how they want me to work with them is a good idea. She better not know it so that it won’t gonna add to what she was going to think.
“It’s nothing unnie. Everything’s fine.” I said as I gave her an assuring smile. “Oh, I think its already good… Dak galbi is ready” I cheerfully announced after turning off the stove.
While we’re on our way here in the house after work, we planned to what we’re gonna have as our dinner. Then unnie said she’s craving for something spicy. She asked what I want but I told her we can have what she wants so we agreed on ordering a spicy fried chicken but right after we went home her mind changed, she said why don’t we just have a Korean Spicy chicken stir fry as our dinner and she insist of making it but right after she mentioned how tired she was I volunteered that I’ll cook instead. After bickering for almost two minutes she actually surrendered as I don’t have plan of doing it coz I want her to actually relax already.
“Wow! It looks good. Can I taste it now? Can I, can I?” she asked as she was showing me a puppy eyes.
“Of course.” I said after giggling on how adorable she is.
As days goes by, I’m noticing how unnie and I was extremely being comfortable towards each other. For only four months of staying here with her, it’s like I live here all my life and I never actually felt, no, she never actually made me feel that it wasn’t my home. She assured that I should not get scared of everything. She made me so comfortable and it’s a different thing for me. Good different actually.
“Hey, you’ve been zooning out alot lately, do I need to get worry now?” She asked as worried was already in her face.
See, this is why I’m getting more comfortable towards her. It’s because she’s showing me that I’m not just a stranger anymore who happened to live with her but actually a friend.
“Nothing to worry about. I’m just thinking how we’re getting extremely close to each other as days goes by.” I admitted the truth.
“Is that a bad thing?”
“Nope. But it’s actually kind of different. A good different.” I said then gave her a genuine smile and I saw how her aura had relax.
We continued eating our food. Sometimes throwing glances at each other.
I ate my food and enjoyed it but then I felt that I accidentally smudge some sauce on the corner of my lips with what I’m eating.
I’m about to clean it with my thumb when Jessica unnie stop my hand.
“I’ll do it.” Before I could process what was happening, Jessica unnie reached out with her thumb and swipe off the sauce. The weird thing about it was that she was making eye contact with me the whole time. Then she slowly brought her thumb into her mouth, gently sucking it clean then right after she was done, she then licked her lips and bit it lightly before going back to eating her food like nothing happened.
I was stunned on my seat, wondering what the hell just happened.
After a minutes of just staring at her while she was busy munching her food, I went back eating mine. We ate in silence then when we finished our dinner, I told her I’ll clean the dishes so she can rest now but she stubbornly went on the kitchen sink and started cleaning everything. I actually tried to stop her while taking the sponges out of her hand but she playfully hide her hand on her back, I reached it without thinking that it can completely put us on an awkward state.
Our face was only an each apart and our body was now glued to one another. I’m so nervous with our state that I haven’t noticed unnie already step backward. She handed me the sponge and she moved aside. After sighing I turned my body facing the kitchen sink. But right before I could take the glass, I felt a gripped on my arm as I was forced to turn my body. Then I froze to what happened next.
Hand firmly holding the left side of my face as lips was pressed on a quick peck with my own. She pulls away but her palm was still on my cheek as she looks me in the eyes. I haven’t process yet what just happened when she inch closer, pressing her lips with mine again. I wasn’t just a peck anymore, she was actually moving her lips now. I don’t really know what to do as I can’t really move my body. I felt my heart skip a beat and goosebumps go through my skin. Her lips was so warm and taste like strawberry. Wait no, this can’t be, Unnie what are you doing. I’m trying to get my strength back to stop her but I was forced again and my back collided on the counter then I let out a sigh as unnie’s lips was still moving on my firm one.
My mind is getting clouded because of what is happening. Then I felt unnie’s hand on my arm went down on my waist. I released another sigh when she squeeze my side before letting my lips go.
She let out a sigh as she stared at me after what just happened. I actually don’t know what to react. I’m not mad and I’m not happy either. I don’t know what I’m feeling right now.
Because this thing never really crossed my mind.
