You were quiet by nature, you did participate much in class even though you knew the answer most of the time, and you had a very small social circle. But some points you didn’t mind, especially when you have a lot of time to yourself when you could cook or bake whatever you wanted. It was a passion you had and you even wanted to own your new restaurant or bakery when you were older.
So it was good to get more experience right? Recently you started a new job at this one restaurant that your uncle recommended to you, you wouldn’t be doing that much cooking but you needed to build your character anyway. The owner was a nice lady who just likes to be called Auntie, and he made you feel welcome to the new environment, but there was one thing that made you feel nervous…
Ahn Su-Ho.
He was a boy that went to your school, he wasn’t really popular, and didn’t really care enough to be. He slept in class most of the time and only had a limited number of close friends like you, but one thing you didn’t know unless you found out yourself is that he was a good fighting. He even took down the schools whole baseball team when they came at him.
That’s probably why you felt a bit imitated, he did stand up to the bullies when it was necessary but it wasn’t like he was one of those popular jock guys in the movies. Thats why you were a little nervous when you saw his calm face focused on working, but he was kinda nice to you… showing you where stuff went, taking one of the crates off your hands when it seemed like you were struggling to carry it, and get whatever you couldn’t reach. That made you feel a bit more comfortable. And now, it’s the restaurant is closing and you’re getting ready to leave when you feel Su-Ho grab your arm. You freeze and tense a little as you turn around
“Before you go, Auntie wanted us to eat so we could get along as new co-workers. I’ll get food, you can sit.” He said suddenly, and before you could respond he already went to the back to get what you guys needed. You blinked with surprise at the suddenly change of pace but you didn’t protest and sat down.
Now you two were two were sitting at the table with the grill on the middle, you didn’t really talk as you two ate but gosh… Su-Ho had a lot of food on his plate. Then suddenly he picked up lettuce leaf, piled up pork belly and ssamjang before folding it up like a wrap and taking a bite out of it as he let out a satisfied hum.
You watched as he continued to eat his wrap and you got a bit curious… so you decided to make one of your own. You took a bite of it, hm Su-Ho had a good idea, it did taste good. Soon you finished that one and you decided to make another when suddenly it got took out your hands.
“Wha-“ You see Su-Ho holding your wrap in his hand and take a bite out of it. Did he really just-
“Yours tastes better than mine, your ratio was perfect. “ He said and took another bite. “You have a knack for food don’t you? This is delicious.”
You hesitated a bit before you nodded. “Uh.. yeah I like to cook and stuff…”
Su-Ho nodded and gave a thumbs up as he finished chewing. “That’s perfect because I love eating.”
“I can tell…” You mumble quietly but it was loud enough for him to hear.
But instead of getting mad he let out a small laugh. “We would make a good pair then wouldn’t we?”
