Chapter 170 - The crush [2]

Moon Jiwoo woke up to an annoying headache, and she recalled about what had happened. Due to the influence of alcohol, she was able to let out about her feelings to her closest friends.

Having that out of her ċhėst did make her feel good and made her wonder why she did not do this earlier. Maybe now she would be able to ask them for advices— although she was the one with most experience.

After she was done with washing up, Moon Jiwoo wore a smile on her face before opening the door to the room. 

The smell of the pancakes reached into her nostrils, and her stomach let out a small growl upon she reached into a realization of how delicious the food could be.

Since she slept without having dinner last night, she was starving, and having delicious pancakes was definitely a great way to start the morning.

Moon Jiwoo's eyes fell on Yura who was seated on the table and devouring the pancakes. From her expression, Jiwoo could see how delicious those pancakes they could be.

Beside her was Youngjae, and making her way to the table, Moon Jiwoo pulled out the chair beside him. Seeing the plate full of pancakes, she guessed that it was for her.

Cheerfully, she said, "Thank you for this!"

"Eat up, Unnie! They are really good! Youngjae rarely cooks although he is extremely good at it, and he did it for you today especially. You will never be able to forget the taste of his pancakes once you have them. It's absolutely a shame that he doesn't do it often," Yura spoke out.

Glancing at the mentioned male, Moon Jiwoo nodded and stated, "I will enjoy the meal."

With that, Moon Jiwoo raised her fork and cut into the pancake. As she placed that piece inside of her mouth, a smile formed on her face due to the taste. As Yura had said it, it was quite mouthwatering.

She raised her thumb up while she looked towards the boy, and the smile on her face reflected how she felt after tasting that pancake.

"Wow! This is amazing, Youngjae! Even I can't make half as good as pancakes as you although I have practiced cooking for years," she confessed.

"You are embarrassing me, Noona. They aren't that good. They are just like normal pancakes," he pointed out.

Moon Jiwoo let out a chuckle before continuing to eat. She wanted to savour their taste as much as she could before they turned cold.

"Noona, if you want him to cook for you, just tell about it to Youngjae. He can cook absolutely everything. His spaghetti is the best! Why don't you make spaghetti for dinner today, Youngjae? Just for Noona though since I will be out today. Both of you will be able to have alone time together."

Fixing his gaze about the girl, Youngjae glared at Yura and with his eyes, he was desperately trying to tell her to keep her mouth shut. But seeing how dense the girl was, she was unable to figure out that Youngjae was trying to give her a signal in the first place.

"I can't ask of him to do that for me. I am already intruding enough on you both by staying at here, and now, I don't want you to think that I am incapable of cooking for myself. That would be quite embarrassing!"

Deciding to deal with Yura later on, Youngjae shook his head and spoke out, "No, don't think of like that. I am really fond of cooking, and I don't mind doing so for you at the night. You can just treat this as your own place."

"Thank you, Youngjae-ah. I seriously don't know what I would have done without you. What about I cook for you tomorrow in return? I will cook my special recipe for both of you tomorrow, alright? Since it is special, only those close to me were able to have it, and it is one of those rare, once in a lifetime, thing."

"As much as tempting as it sounds, I will have to stay out of it, I am afraid. I am not interested in becoming a third wheel. By the way, both of you really look good together, and I hope that it will be going well—"

Before she was able to continue further, Youngjae shoved a piece of pancake inside of her mouth while confusion was clearly shown on Jiwoo's face in order to reflect what she felt at that moment.

It wasn't as if she did not entirely understand was Yura was about to imply, but it would be too weird if she addressed this matter. The relationship between her and Youngjae was completely different from that.

"Eat up more and keep your mouth closed. That's the only way you look good. Since you were praising my pancakes that much have as much as you want. I wouldn't be stopping you if you are able to keep your mouth shut the entire time. Don't you even date to speak a word!"

A pout started to form on the girl's face while she started to chew on the pancake, and her eyes kept on glaring at the man before her. He was being too rude to her when she was just trying to help him!

After she had swallowed it, she voiced out, "What was that about?"

"I just don't want to open your mouth unless it is for eating. I can see that you haven't brushed your days now, and it actually stinks. That's why, please refrain from ruining the atmosphere."

"Ruining the atmosphere?! How can you say to me when I was just trying to help you!? And guess what? I just brushed my teeth an hour ago. There just be something wrong with those eyes of yours or that nose!"

"What help? I don't need any help from you! You are just misunderstanding and doing things on your own. It's getting annoying at this point!"

"You ȧsshole, there is no way I am stopping after you have said. Mark my words! I will make everything I have said yesterday come true or else I am a cow!"

"Wow! I am excited to see you act like a cow!"

After exchanging glances between both of them, Moon Jiwoo managed to notice that both of them were silent for a while and questioned, "What are you both talking about?"

Looking at her, Yura winked and spoke out, "You will be finding out about it soon, that is if Youngjae has the courage to open up about this to you. Then again, he seems to be as clueless as you."

This did not manage to make Moon Jiwoo feel at ease, and moreover, it just seemed to have brought further confusion into her. Nonetheless, not regarding this as anything that important, she did not push the girl on the matter.

She just shrugged her shoulders before placing her concentration back on to the pancakes.

"You know what, Yura, sooner or later these days, I am going to kill you for real. I thought you will become better and grateful as time passed by, but it just seems as if you are getting worse. Why can't you just keep your mouth shut for once?"

"Wow! Are you trying to put the blame on me? I am trying to help you while you being nothing other than a jerk to me."

He sighed and mumbled, "Why do I forget at times that there is no use in trying to talk to you? You just understand what you want to, and whatever I just say doesn't get into your mind."

A groan left her mouth after those words from the man reached into Yura's ear, and she vocalised, "What do you mean by that? Honestly, I don't see what problem you will have by accepting help from me? You act as if I have down something bad to you when I didn't even do anything close to that to you!"

"The thing is that I didn't even ask for your help in the first place. Whatever curiosity you have us going to ruin everything, and I don't need you meddling. I was doing fine without your help the entire time, and I don't need you to interfere! I am alright!"

"Liar! You are not! You were crying yesterday! Why would be crying when you are alright?"

Moon Jiwoo had never seen the boy cry, not even when his grandmother died, and she had heard about how the boy was fairly close to the old lady. This made her worry about what could have happened to elicit such a reaction from him.

But judging from the air between them, she knew that it would not sit well with anyone if she interfered, and therefore, she remained silent while hoping that two of them could reach into an agreement.

"So what? You think you will be able to help if that's the case. Think about all the time you were helpful to me. There were bȧrėly any moments like that! You create a mess! That's why, stay away!"

"Right! I create a mess! Fine! I will stay away from you! Just keep on crying in your room!"
