@zimei //Blushes uncontrollably from that unexpected compliment
Ah... Thank you.
I don't take compliments very easy.
//Scratches the side of my temple, feeling very uneasy from my fluster
Oh! Thank you. I'm glad you like how it tastes.
//Hums to a brilliant idea, eyes wondering somewhere else
//Eyes focus on you with a brilliant shine
There's nothing to it, really. All you have to do is follow the recipe.
I'll be more than willing to show you how whenever I'm free.
Just a payment for you liking my cake, I guess. Plus, that compliment was very nice...
//Smiles brightly, my pudgy lips dissolving against my brilliant teeth
I'd be willing to. But I think cooking for yourself would make it all the better.
//Giggles slightly from an outright request
Sure! I'm just so glad you like it so much. It makes me so happy.
//My fluster never seems to go away as it continued melting my face
//Grabs the phone and focuses the picture on you
I hope this is alright!
You look adorable, yes?
//Grins magnificently, giving your phone back
@kyungri *stares at you, only able to nod at you at what ever you had told me, taking the plate from you, my eyes still fixed onto you* you're pretty.. *blurts out without realizing and cuts out a small piece of my cake with the fork, bringing it to my lips then starts to chew on it after, my eyes widening at the taste, something I have never tasted before* its good, kyungri unnie, it's just ... i don't know how to explain this, but i really really love it! you did great! *holds up my thumb and flashes you a wide yet satisfied smile* do bake all my birthday cakes in the future please, it's to die for, really! *squeals softly and then takes my phone out, opening the camera app and handing my phone to you* please help take a picture of me with your masterpiece, *stands a little away from you and holds up the plate with one hand, doing v sign with my free hand and smiles, posing for the picture*
@zimei //Looks at the other woman, who is discouragingly tall than me
Hello!
How are you?
//I tilt my head to the side, gesturing my curiosity
//Notices your excitement, and the few slices of my cake were staring at me
//Coughs to fill in the conversation from getting awkward
W-would you like some cake?
There's only a few slices left, and I'd be sad if you didn't your fair share.
//Smiles brightly as I grab the knife to drop the slice into a plate, grabbing a small napkin with it
Let me know what you think.
I love feedback.
//Tries to hold my nervousness by making the ultimate poker face, focus intensifying on the cake
@kyungri oh my god she is just pure amazing! *shakes my friend hard in excitement as you spoke, squealing as softly as i could over you* if there's anyone's who gonna start a fan club for her, that's so gonna be me! *takes my phone out, about to text my friend about this when i heard the teachers saying that we could go up front and try the cakes as well as interact with the seniors, perking up with my glittery eyes, then immediately stands up, not caring that i'm the first to do so, walking towards your direction, feeling somewhat confident since i was going to speak to you but then stops on my tracks halfway and turns back around, mumbling to myself* , i can't do this.. she's too pretty.. *fidgets with my fingers nervously as i think* no no no, i can do this, i'm the amazing huang zimei! *turns back around and starts walking towards you again with a bright, confident smile, trying very hard to hold back what i actually felt that moment* HI!
@zimei //After finishing my cake, teachers passed the mic for students to explain what they've made
//Examines my finished product - a white two layered cake with yellow and white embroidery with a dash of orange shavings
//Wipes sweat off forehead, taking a deep breath as I take note of the competition
//Teachers pass by, grading each student's pieces while they compliment their pieces
//Gulps another lump of salvia even though it wasn't really a competition. I grab onto the mic once again
A simple layered cake with finest details created with a fine-tip and shavings of a zesty punch of orange.
Resembles the freshmen for their young and innocent minds.
//Nods as I finish off explaining more about the process of making the cake. Passes the mic afterwards
//Listens to the teacher announcing that the freshmen are allowed to take a slice of cake to try out and talk to the culinary majors
//Smiles as wide as I could, secretly really nervous about what others would think about my cake
@kyungri *enters the cafeteria, taking my seat right at the front with a friend of mine since she dragged me forward, watching what ever that was going on then looks over at you when you started to speak, ignoring that my friend was trying to get my attention*
*a while after watches you as you start to bake your cake, admiring the way you did it and how you put in your full concentration into it* whoa, she's amazing, don't you think?
*nudges my friend's side but keeps my eyes fixed on you till the part where you started adding little details to your cake* ugh, i should've took notice of her name earlier, well at least now i know what she majors in *forms a wide grin, noticing that you glanced at me for a quick second and almost screamed out loud in excitement but holds it back*
//Shuffles to the bathroom, looking at the mirror
//Breaths in and out while looking at my appearance
//Straightens everything - noting the small creases on my jacket
//Sweat builds up slowly on my forehead, shrugging my shoulders as I place my toque next to the sink
You can do this!
//Arms in fighting position but finds them cleaning my face with the sink water in a second
//Arrives outside of the bathroom fresh and energized. Finds her comrades walking into the cafeteria professionally and didn't mind me being a little late
//Hurries and follows them into the cafeteria where everything is in top shape for the 'bake-off'
//Goes behind one of the kitchen counters, looking over the enormous crowd of freshmen
//Gulps as I get nervous but overcomes it with my infamous poker face
//Glances over at one of the teachers who were announcing at what we were doing
//The mic goes over to my side as I explain even further - remarkably pristine
And that's what we will be doing!
Please, keep talking to a minimum. We, chefs-in-training, need concentration.
We hope you can understand!
//Ended with me smiling at the crowd, handing it over to another chef
//In the middle of the program, I'm in the midst of pulling my cake out of the oven
//With my outmost focus, I decorate it with white frosting - adding small details on the side of the cake
@baekhyun /snorts and rolls my eyes. i don't need to eat like a lady in front of you.
/sticks my tongue out and continues eating until i finish everything.
@baekhee /follows after silently and sits down, also eating my food/
/looks over at you while chewing; swallows before speaking/
Why don't you eat more...I don't know, ladylike?
@baekhee Cute and pretty.
/scoffs and rolls my eyes/
How modest of you- Yah!
/glares when you whack my head, rubbing where you hit/
/sighs and pays for your food and mine/
@baekhee What, so I gain respect by buying you food?
/clicks my tongue and pokes your forehead/
Why not? It's not like we're dating or anything.
Hurry and pick your food or I'm leaving you here to pay for yourself.
@baekhyun you always told me to respect you more, saying that you are the older brother.
/rolls my eyes playfully. then you can start paying my foods.
hey! how could you let a girl pay?
@baekhee Yah...you're gonna make me pay for you?
/raises a brow and follows you anyway, letting out a sigh/
Fine, go ahead. Get what you like, but you're paying next time.
@baekhyun /drags you to the cafeteria forcefully.
/grins when we arrive there, points at a food stall at the corner.
i didn't bring my money. i want to eat that.
