“Kimi still down?” HyeSung poked her as she lay on the armchair listlessly staring into space. It was definitely not the time of the month but she just well… felt that way. HyeSung had insisted he came over to accompany her through this period of ‘difficult time’. She was too lazy to decline his offer so he had self invited himself in after that. His ‘fun’ plan had started in the morning.
He told her to do the girl thing - shopping; which ended up him buying the latest fashion to fill his wardrobe up and she had bought nothing at all. Plan A failed.
He watched a few DVDs with her; or rather watched and laughed all by himself. Plan B failed.
He decided to accompany her sleep; him on the floor; her on the couch. But it ended up him snoring and her continuously stuck in a daze. Plan C failed.
“You didn’t enjoy my plans for you?” he asked with his puppy eyes automatically causing the sides of her lips to curve upwards a little. The innocent look pasted on his face was something she just couldn’t resist.
“Idiot. It ended up ME accompanying you throughout the whole day.” She pouted; rolling her eyes at his hurt look.
“I’m sorry…” he uttered in almost a whisper.
Farah turned to look at him. “Does you master plan has a finale?” she asked him. Although she was feeling down, she felt touched that her boyfriend had strategize so many silly plans to make her happy despite its failure and she didn’t want him to be down with her. One of the other half had to stay happy right?
A smile immediately replaced the downcast look. “Of course!” the big familiar usual grin greeted her. “Come on!” he tugged her out of the armchair.
“Where?” she made a quick grab for her hair band for her hair was in a mess.
“Let’s make pizza!” he announced gleefully.
Farah gaped at him. “HyeSung, are you sure? Do you even know the ingredients?” she looked around the empty kitchen; remembering very clearly they had not bought any groceries when they were doing his shopping. And the guy was clueless about cooking.
“Of course!” he shot back indignantly; as though insulted by her questions.
Farah nodded and watched him pull out all the random ingredients she never knew was in her house.
“Tadaa!”
HyeSung watched his girlfriend gaped incredulously at him. Without waiting for her to open her mouth, he handed her a knife and commanded her to chop up the mushrooms and tomatoes while he deal with sauce; which only involved in opening the can and pouring it into the pot.
“Because I suck at it.” He grinned sheepishly at her as he stirred the sauce.
“True.” She agreed as she sliced the mushroom and tomatoes quietly after that; still feeling dumb for following HyeSung’s crazy ideas. She was almost halfway done when she saw HyeSung de-boning the chicken and frying it. Okay, something she didn’t know he could do.
After all the ingredients were cooked, she leaned against the counter and waited for HyeSung’s next instructions as she watched him busied himself with a can of pineapples. She didn’t want to admonish further when she didn’t see him take out any flour to make the dough and what not. So she just waited; waited to see what he would do next.
“Come on Farah!” HyeSung went to her and took her hand; pulling her in front of the pita bread and all the other ingredients. He towered over her when he stood behind her. “Now we decorate it.” And he took her hand to take up the cooked ingredients to be spread out on the pita bread that was already layered with a thin layer of sauce.
“What do we design?” she asked; feeling the familiar happiness seeping into her again. She had already enjoyed and liked it when HyeSung held her from the back. Now they were making pizza in this position; it had better be good since it was made with love.
“We’ll put this here, and this here, and a little here…” HyeSung leaned forward and rested his chin on her shoulder as he placed some mushroom and tomatoes and chicken all over the pita bread.
“And this here,” Farah took some pineapples and placed it over as decoration. HyeSung turned and pecked her on the cheek making her giggle.
“I want a pineapple too!” HyeSung opened his mouth and Farah popped a piece into his mouth.
“And your favourite,” HyeSung took the biggest strip of cheese and fed Farah.
“Time for the cheese!” Farah declared. This little cooking game was by far most entertaining out of all HyeSung’s plans.
HyeSung grinned. He handed her the cheddar cheese and watched her place the cheese all over their homemade pizza generously. Thank goodness for this finale. He could feel that she was not unhappy anymore and that was good. He liked to see her happy. A smile on her face was the best.
After they had melted the cheese all over the ingredients in the oven, HyeSung took the pizza out and grinned at her.
“Not bad for first timers eh?” he brushed his nose against hers and went to place it on the counter.
“You cheated.” She laughed even as he sliced the pizza and pouted. The apron on him made him look even better than ever.
“There you go my love.” He held a small piece in front of her and she opened her mouth to take it. “How is it?” he asked; slightly worried if it turned out okay. He really didn’t want the both of them to be spending the night in the hospital for food poisoning.
Farah closed her eyes and chewed for a while longer; as though deep in thought. She opened her eyes in shock and stared at him.
“Is it that bad?” HyeSung gaped at her and hurriedly sliced up a piece and popped it into his mouth.
Funny. It tasted okay. In fact, even a little good. Damn. It was delicious.
He was about to turn back to ask her when she burst out laughing.
“HyeSung you’re an idiot!” she laughed so hard that she almost choked.
He went around to the other side of the counter and stood in front of her.
“What?” she stopped laughing immediately seeing the serious look on his face.
“It’s good to see that smile again.” He suddenly wrapped his arms around her body; surprising her.
“HyeSung? What’s wrong?” Farah patted his back even as he buried his head at the alcove of her neck; taking in the scent of her hair; heart relieved that she was happy again.
“Nothing.” He whispered. “As long as you’re happy.” He pulled back and pecked her on the lips.
“You know what HyeSung?” Farah asked when HyeSung had went back to his side of the counter to continue slicing the pizza.
“Hmm?” he smiled warmly at her; knife still in hand.
“You’re a genius after all.”
