Seungmin stared blankly into the refrigerator, a light breeze from the appliance's cool air brushing against his face. It was mostly empty, holding only a lone carrot and a carton of eggs. "Again?" he sighed, contemplating the hassle of a grocery trip or simply going hungry.

With a determined nod, Seungmin decided a grocery run would be the best choice. He grabbed his jacket and car keys, hoping to make the errand quick so he could relax afterward. As he walked through the aisles, his mind wandered to what meal he could make, anything beyond the usual ramen he was used to.

While scanning the store shelves for inspiration, Seungmin ran into an unexpected, albeit familiar, face—you, a friend from work. "Seungmin? Shopping this late?" you asked playfully. He chuckled, shrugging. "You caught me. Trying to whip up something better than instant noodles for once," he admitted. You grinned, suggesting they cook together for fun. Torn between his plan to retreat home and your idea, Seungmin hesitated, intrigued by the prospect of company.

"Alright, let's do it," Seungmin agreed, surprising himself. They picked out some ingredients—chicken, bell peppers, and a handful of spices. You seemed pleased, your face lighting up as they discussed a quick recipe. As they left the store, the thought of cooking something deliciously homemade excited him. It was a nice change from his usual solitary meals, and he found himself thankful for your spontaneous suggestion.
