Seeing him smile, it was as if time had stopped then and there. Because my focus is only on him.

COOKING TOGETHER ❤

🍓🍓🍓

Messy. One word that defines the current state of affairs in the kitchen of Aya's house. How not? The girl spilled the wheat in her hand. Due to improper footing.

"You okay?" asked Jaehyun who was holding Aya's body from behind.

Aya Park; the girl who was still not aware of the situation was even silent without moving a bit. Making Jaehyun unwillingly help him to stand up properly.

Again, Jaehyun asked. "Yes, are you okay?"

As someone woke her from sleep, Aya immediately responded with a body movement away from Jaehyun's embrace. "A-ah, I'm okaywhat's Jae. Sorry for my actions," he said.

Jaehyun showed his bright smile and nodded once. "Other times the path of the heart - the heart. Don't run around in the kitchen" she advised Aya.

Instead of responding to Jaehyun's words, the girl ran over and ignored Jaehyun's worry that Aya might fall down again.

It turned out that Aya was avoiding the man, because his heartbeat was pounding very strongly as if he wanted to get out of place.

Behind the wall between the kitchen and the living room, Aya hid there. One hand on her left chest showed that she was very nervous. "God, what's wrong with my heart? I don't want to die young, yet" he said indistinctly.

"Death young?" ask someone who made Aya jump in shock.

It turned out that Jaehyun was beside her. Since when? And that made Aya even more misbehaving. Wide grin is one of Aya's mainstay attitude if you are nervous.

Making Jaehyun frown. "Why even smile? Who died young?"

"Me! Ah, that's not what I meant..."

"Then?"

Aya bit her lower lip and played the tip of her foot. He steals - a lookout with Jaehyun who is looking at him with a curious expression - waiting for an answer.

"Already Jae, let's continue making the cake," said Aya to divert the conversation.

Brushing aside his usual sense of duty, Jaehyun flicked his shoulders casually and nodded approvingly to Aya's words.

The girl walked first towards the kitchen, followed by Jaehyun behind her. Every now and then Aya exhales slowly to eliminate the nervousness that exists.

"Jae, should we buy some more of the songs? Some have spilled because of me," said Aya, feeling bad.

Jaehyun nodded slowly. "No need, the rest is enough to make a cake. Hm yes already then let me just process it. You're quite my assistant. How's it?"

"Call! I don't want to ruin everything either." Aya smiled sincerely towards Jaehyun.

As a result, Jaehyun took over Aya's task of making the cake batter. Now the white man wears the apron given by Aya.

Aya's pretty apron, flushed forward by Jaehyun and turned to put it on his waist. The way to use the apron made Aya amazed. How not? That simple scene alone, Jaehyun looked very handsome.

Not only that, Jaehyun's burly hands began to move to sort out what materials would be put into a large bowl to mix stirring using a mixer. It looks so beautiful, like a princely figure in a fairy tale world who will make a cake for the princess.

The sculpting of the face was near perfect and the firm chin, as well as the slightly wrinkled forehead, showed that Jaehyun was serious. One other thing Aya got today. An Jaehyun would be very different while cooking.

"What would my heart be like to see him cook every day?" inner Aya who was still amazed by Jaehyun.

Realizing she was just silent, Aya shook her head quickly to dismiss her dumb thoughts. "Jae, how can I help you?"

Jaehyun turned his head and realized that he was not alone there. Understandably, when cooking the world as if only his so he does not pay attention to the surrounding. "Ah, you can pour out the songs little by little."

"alright. I poured it into that dough, didn't I?" aya asked, afraid of being wrong again.

"Yes, but slow down. Don't let it become a bantet."

Aya nodded steadily. He began to put the flour according to the instructions of Jaehyun. In between his activities, he began to be curious. "Jae, what kind of cake are you making?"

"This? You wanted cookies at first, right? But I'll replace it because the ingredients are there only to make chocolate hazelnut millefeuille." Jaehyun smiled and continued his activities - mixing all the ingredients.

Mille - Feuille means 'Kue of a Thousand Leaves' in French.

Mille Feuille usually contains three or more layers of puff pastry, with whipped cream or jam in the middle of each layer, and on top there is usually sugar icing with chocolate strips.

Aya scrunched her forehead. "What did you say Jae? The chocolate? You gonna make chocolate cake? Jinjja?" It was visible in the eyes of the girl.

Jaehyun nodded with a smile. "I know you like chocolate. How's it?"

"You're right! I really like chocolate. But, I don't like hazelnuts. Can't you put that one in?" sahut Aya while putting on a face begging him.

It felt like Jaehyun was yelling and pinching the girl's cheek. How could Aya be so adorable with such an expression? Jaehyun. "Alright, but there's a condition."

Oh come on Jaehyun. Don't play with Aya. Or you'll fall in real charm. Indeed, Jaehyun was very excited to approach Aya after he found out that the girl was not really in a relationship with Jeno.

"What's? Why have conditions?" ask Aya.

Jaehyun had finished his cake dough. Before being cut into thin puff pastry, Jaehyun formed his dough into four folds. Assisted by Aya who prepared other materials. The two of them worked together while chatting.

"Should. The conditions are very easy. You just need to take your time to have lunch with me tomorrow, how?" pinta Jaehyun's.

Lunched? Oh my God I forgot! If he had an appointment with Mark for lunch at La Bosseade today. How could he forget? Even this afternoon, Mark must have been waiting for him.

Jaehyun who did not get an answer from Aya, immediately glanced at the girl. He found Aya who was daydreaming. "Dad? What's up?"

Gasping, Aya shook her head slowly. "Jae, wait a minute. I'll be back soon." Without waiting for Jaehyun's reply, Aya immediately darted towards his room to pick up the phone.

Leaving the Jaehyun who was staring at him was full of confusion. Even he had a chance to think, did Aya not want to have lunch with him? I don't know...

Brushing aside that thought, Jaehyun continued making his cake. It doesn't matter if you have to do it alone.

While in Aya's room, the girl was pacing back and forth while biting her fingertips. And one other hand he used to hold the phone that was affixed to the ear.

"Jeez, Mark, why didn't it get lifted?" mumbling slowly. Aya finds dozens of missed calls from Mark. Surely the man was waiting for him.

On the other hand, it was more precisely at La Bosseade. The man with a handsome face, wearing a short-sleeved black shirt and hair that he arranged with style back hair, was sitting in a chair - table number 127.

Yes, it was Mark Lee. Who had been waiting for someone for less than an hour.

Sometimes Mark glanced at the watch on his wrist. "Ear afternoon. Should I just go home? Maybe he forgot."

Mark grabbed the phone he put on the table. For the umpteenth time he tried to contact that person. But the results remain the same, there is no answer.

Sighing resignedly, Mark again sipped ice coffee that he ordered. Convincing heart, if Aya indeed forgot or there is other business, Mark began to move from his place.

"Jeez Mark! You're here? Since when?" asked Jeno who was still wearing the chef's clothes.

Mark who was initially startled, began to neutralize his facial expression. "Not for long" Mark replied lying.

"Sit down, what message do you want? Let me prepare a special for you," said Jeno welcomed her cousin.

"No need Je, I already want to go home. There's an appointment with someone. I was just wondering about the restaurant you worked at. And it turns out the food here is very good, the service is also number one," said Mark.

Jeno chuckled and smiled proudly. "Next time, call me if you want to come here. I'll cook you some good food."

"Alright Je, then I'll excuse you. See you bro!" tell Mark and leave Jeno at his place.

Jeno scrunched her forehead. "What strange. Like a broken heart."

🍓🍓🍓

This is where Mark is now - at Aya Park's house. The man wondered why the girl had not kept her promise to have lunch together.

Outside the house, Mark sees the car Jaehyun used to wear is in the car park. "Is it because of her, Aya can't see me?" muttered.

Not wanting to guess - hell, Mark ventured to squeeze the doorbell of the house.

In Aya's room, the girl heard a bell ringing. Still wondering why Mark didn't answer his call on the phone, he went down the stairs to see who had come.

Passing Jaehyun by the door. Aya took a step back, for Jaehyun to open the door. Because, Jaehyun has been mandated by Chanyeol to take care of Aya.

Just as the door opened, the two men jumped in shock. Mark was gawking while pointing at Jaehyun and Jaehyun who just frowned.

"Mark?" Jaehyun.

Making Aya who was there instantly break through and get rid of Jaehyun from the doorway. "Excuse me Jae, I want to pass!"

Jaehyun retreated and gave space for Aya to face towards Mark.

"March! Jesus Mark!" cry Aya after finding Mark in front of her.

Mark who saw Aya's expression like that, immediately smiled.

"Mark, I'm sorry. I forgot to make an appointment with you!" aya continued, feeling bad because it had broken a promise to Mark.

The man surnamed Lee just nodded and smiled. "I'll forgive you if I'm allowed in."

Jesus, Aya forgot to invite Mark as a guest to enter the house. However, it is not that easy because it arrived - Jaehyun just stopped right in front of Aya.

"can't. Chanyeol hyung left you to me. Do not let any stranger into the house," said Jaehyun.

Mark scrunched his forehead. "Are you not a stranger? How come you're here Jaehyun?" he said while chuckling.

Aya just nodded steadily approving of Mark's remark.

"I've known Aya for a long time. After all her brother trusts me to take care of her," Jaehyun replied unwilling to lose.

"Well, let's go out, Ay.. how?" take Mark who makes Jaehyun panic.

Jaehyun just didn't want time to be alone with Aya being bullied by Mark. Though Mark just wanted to know something from Jaehyun and Aya.

"All right, all right, you can come in Mark. But don't be with her!" threaten Jaehyun, which looks funny to Mark.

Mark just thought, Jaehyun's attitude all together - will that he is the one who deserves Aya. The lover is not. It made Mark unable to resist smiling and then chuckling.

Aya frowning. "What's up, Mark? Comein. Jae and I are making French cakes. What's Jae his name?"

"Chocolate millefeuille," Jaehyun replied.

Finally, Mark entered Aya's house. Making Jaehyun upset because the opportunity to get close to Aya became difficult with Mark.

"So, how can Jaehyun be in your house Ay?" mark asked after sitting on the sofa in the living room.

"The story is long Mark. The point is Jaehyun was our neighbor first. And my oppa knows him, I'm also 'sih.be he's here now, '" Aya replied.

Jaehyun watched the two while holding his chest. "Yes, let's continue making the cake. And you, Mark.just wait here!" her word.

"Ah, yes Jae. Mark, it's okay I stayed a while. I'll get you a drink later, okay?" said Aya.

Jaehyun and Aya return to the kitchen and leave Mark alone in the living room. Seeing Jaehyun and Aya made Mark smile and shake his head slowly.

In the kitchen, Jaehyun finished the final stage. The cake is ready to serve. "Ay, have you had an appointment with Mark before?"

"Yes, and because of you I forgot. But it doesn't matter, Mark isn't angry."

"Hm. I'm sorry then Ay. Ah, then what about my invitation?" ask Jaehyun.

Aya turned towards Jaehyun. "What do?"

"Oh, forget it. I'll try a new menu tomorrow. Come to La Bosseade, I will prepare it for you" Jaehyun said.

"Call! I'm gonna come. Make sure your cooking is good, Jae!" Aya smiled happily.

"Jeez Jaehyun! Until when you're gonna be like this. Always hesitant to start. What a hard thing to say to him, don't eat lunch together! Ah, that sucks!" inner Jaehyun who cursed his weakness against women.

🍓🍓🍓

The other side - La Bosseade.

"Chef, let me help you today" Taeyong told Jeno.

The man scrunched his forehead. "That's your job, chef. So you helped me out in the kitchen, didn't you?" saith.

"That's not what I meant. So look, I'll help you make a dish that women will love. I learned a lot from chef Jaehyun" Taeyong explained.

"What do you mean by chef Taeyong? I don't understand." Jeno tried to think hard but still did not find the meaning of Taeyong's words.

Taeyong sighed resignedly. He had enough of a role as someone who admired Jaehyun. Though behind it, he had a plan that would harm Jaehyun.

What the hell is it? What problems does Taeyong have with Jaehyun? Then why did Taeyong drag Jeno into this matter?

"He is no longer a chef. You're hard to work with! I'll make sure you're disappointed because of him!" sahut Taeyong then moved from his place and left Jeno full of big question marks.

Without them both knowing, from behind the door to the kitchen there was Johnny who was eavesdropping. "Don't tell me you two are going to betray Jaehyun in the future! I won't let it!" his inner.
