Hearing his doorbell ringing, Oh Sookyung placed a smile on his face. and made his way over to the door. Standing before the door, he unlocked it, and opening the door, he stared at the guests staring outside of his house.
Youngjae and Yura was present outside of his house. While an unfriendly expression and scorn was clearly shown on the male's face, Yura wore on a bright face, and it displayed how excited she was to be at here.
Youngjae leaned against the wall while he had his hands inside his pocket. His expression showed his lack of enthusiasm for this place; one would easily think that he was forced to be at this place.
In Yura's hand was a small packaging, and looking at Oh Sookyung, she lifted it up, indicating that this was a gift for him. Nodding his head, Sookyung accepted it.
"I got this little something for you. I don't know what your tastes might, but hopefully, you will be liking it," Yura voiced out.
"It's fine. You shouldn't have brought anything in the first place. Come inside," he invited them in.
"Of course I can't do that. This is the first time I am visiting your place, and you can't expect me to be as rude as Youngjae. He wanted to be late to your place on purpose, but I dragged him at here," Yura vocalised.
Youngjae scoffed and commented, "Tch! You are getting quite warm with him!"
While Yura just shot the male a glare due to his words, Oh Sookyung remained silent while he kept the smile on his face on. Seeing that, Youngjae managed to get himself irritated.
That made him want to act up in front of him.
From Moon Jiwoo, he had learned about how Sookyung's personality could be, and he was determined to make him get angry as well. It did not seem fair to him that he was one getting annoyed throughout the entire time.
Without saying a word more, Yura stepped inside of the room while Oh Sookyung moved away, and Youngjae followed behind of Yura before slamming the door close behind him. The loud sound due to his actions resonated throughout the room.
Seeing that the male was behind it, Yura glared at the boy and said, "Behave yourself! What are you? A kid?"
"Me? I have no idea. It's just that when I am at a place that I absolutely loathe, I find myself acting up. I hope you can look past this, Sookyung-ssi. Of course I have no problems about leaving if you hate me being like this. You just have to say the word."
"Make yourself at home. Since you are friends of Daerin, I consider you to be my friend as well," Sookyung politely spoke out.
"What kind of joke is that? Just because we are Noona's friend doesn't make me your friend. I don't think I want to be your friend ever. How creepy is that! I want to throw up at the thought— Ouch!"
Before he was able to continue further, Yura stepped on his foot with all of her might, causing the male to let out a groan. At least this caused him to shut up with his insulting words!
Turning to face the lady, he glared at her, and Yura returned his gaze with an equal intensity. Raising her hand, she showed her fist, and her expression showed that how she would not be holding back if he acted like this again.
"Fine! Fine! I get it! I don't see what's wrong with all of you people to side with such a trash like him. Is he handsome? I am pretty sure I am—"
Unable to hold it in anymore, Yura touched his collar and pulled his face closer to her. Her eyes threatened him while she stared at him intensely.
"Do you want me to remove that truth? I don't think I will be able to keep my mouth close if you keep on acting this way in the future," Yura warned.
The male clearly understood what Yura was trying to imply by that. She was talking about revealing his feelings towards Jiwoo, and it seemed that she was being quite serious this time. He could decipher whether or not they were empty words.
He gulped.
There was no way he was willing to take the risk, and therefore, he could only swallow back all the words he wanted to target towards Oh Sookyung. He merely stared at his back fiercely, hoping that Sookyung would be able to get his anger towards him.
"That should be quietening him down for a while."
°°°
As three of them sat in front of a table, various sorts of delicious food was served before them, and Yura's eyes wandered off from one food to another. She could find her mouth watering, and she was unsure of what to try out first.
On the other hand, although the food seemed to be quite appetizing to him, his eyes stared at disgust at the food and Sookyung, knowing that this was prepared by the him.
"Daerin once mentioned on how my cooking will be able to win other's hearts easily, and that's what I am doing. I hope that I will be able to gain your approval after this," Sookyung stated.
"You already have my approval, but thanks for the food. If Daerin Noona says that it is that good, I am sure it will be," Yura spoke out before lifting up her chopsticks.
Raising some piece of noodles with it, she placed it inside of her mouth, and her taste buds were completely satisfied with the flavour of the food. She could taste how meticulously and carefully this had been made.
"Wow! This is amazing, Brother in law. Brother in law? I can call you that, right? Sookyung-ssi feels too distant, now that we are almost like a family," she expressed.
"Feel free to call me whatever you want," he said, "I am glad that you like it."
"Before I used to approve of you hundred percent, but now it raised to one thousand percent. With you, Unnie will never be getting tired of eating. I used to think that Youngjae was a good cook, but compared to you, he is totally plain!"
"Aren't you going too overboard with your words? How good can they even be?" Youngjae expressed.
Raising his own set of chopsticks, he decided to give the food in front of him a try as well, and as the taste spread through his tongue, his eyes almost widened at how good the food was.
Nonetheless, knowing that he was in front of Sookyung, he concealed his expression and coughed a couple of times.
"Nothing impressive, but it is decent I suppose," he said.
"I know that you might be holding some amniosity towards me, and it's understandable. Even I in the beginning felt quite jealous that both of you were able to spend time with Daerin that I lost. Although I was quite saddened by that, I decided to move on because I wanted to be spend the future with her happily.
I hope that both of you will be able to accept me and allow me to prove myself. I promise that I will be taking care of Daerin well, and I will not be failing your expectations. One more thing, I am really grateful to you two for looking after her."
Youngjae placed on a much more serious expression after hearing his words, and clearing his throat, he vocalised, "You do know that my opinion or acceptance would not be making a difference."
"True, it wouldn't, but I still want it. After all, both of you are her treasured friends, and Daerin rarely makes any kind of friends. That's why, I want you both to be with her."
"Noona was right. You are quite sly. You know how to please people. If Noona is happy, I guess I am fine, but I still need to keep you under my surveillance."
"Now that is settled, Youngjae please don't act like a kid anymore. It's embarrassing," Yura expressed.
