Restaurant

@Ok Taecyeon Mhmm the masks ruin the kisses, I can't feel your precious lips on mine. *huffs and puffs into the the mask.*
*laughs softly as I load some of the dishes we used into the dishwasher.*
I- You silly, i don't think we will have to sneak it out, but you remind me of those parents with the purses that sneak food into them
Mhmm, and I can't wait to try our hardwork masterpiece.

@Lee Taemin *chuckles, scrunching my nose* yeah, i guess kisses aren't nearly as much fun when we have masks on, huh?
*once you open the door of the stove, i pick up the casserole dish, sliding it into the oven, a smile on my face*
if i have to sneak the leftovers out of here, i will
this is our masterpiece, taem

@Yeonjun T-thank you yeon.../smoothing out the invisible wrinkles in my clothes upon hearing your compliment as if that would make me look even nicer than I do now. Smiling as you take the flowers then a sense of pride fills my chest knowing that you like the bouquet...I probably spent an hour in the store deciding which color combination to go with but obviously I made a good choice out of the two./ after you..../I move to the side for you to climb in, a grin immediately blossoms on my face when you give me a kiss since I wasn’t expecting it. Cute. When youre in all the way I close the door behind you and run around the side to get in the drivers seat./ ah~...okay let’s get going so we can make it on time.../starting the car I pull off the lot and head out on to the street towards the restaurant close by./ s oo... what do you think so far? Impressed? /I chuckle. Just trying to get us to laugh and not be so nervous./

@Kim Kibum I'm not too worried about that.
-smiles and stares at my shot glass for a moment before looking over at you, nodding my understanding-
It's understandable that it's hard to trust others. I could say I'm the same way after all.
-eats the shrimp you feed me and smiles at you-
Thank you.

@Park Jimin Upon stepping out of the dorm to come meet you outside , I tilt my head to the side seeing you step out of the car and the mer sight cause me to blush . Seeing how handsome you look and yet how gentle you were with your actions . My thoughts were cut short as you greet me causing me to chuckle gently ..” hey handsome stranger “ I smirk blinking a couple of times when I see the flowers ..” aigooo hyung ..” i pout my lips smiling sweetly as I reach out to grab them tilting my head up ..” you’re looking really handsome too Jiminnie , “ I blush and lean my head down to get a swift of the scent of my flowers humming softly ..” these are my favorite ..” I call out looking up in your eyes as you gesture me to get in the car I comply walking over but before I step inside the car I place a soft kiss on your cheek . Then get in settling in and sliding my seatbelt on

@Kim Kibum I'm sure you will, not matter how much I may assure you otherwise.
-laughs softly, raising my glass a bit in thanks and takes a sip with a happy hum-
Yeah. It can be wearing, especially in a room of strangers or even acquaintances or colleagues. I guess what you mean. I do. I'll find someone to lean on when you're busy.

@Ok Taecyeon Oh I dare you to kiss me, super dare if you could do it without your mask~ *winks at you and giggles in a playful matter*
*claps my hands together and sways on my feet as I watch you finish the lasting touches*
mhmm of course I can *shuffles over to the stove and opens it for you*
and I hope we can take the rest for leftovers too

@Yeonjun /by the time you’ve been able to gather you’re things I decided to grab the beautiful set of flowers I got for you. Careful not to bump them against anything that’ll destroy the petals. Climbing out of the drivers seat I spot you coming out to greet me./
Hey stranger~.....you’re looking really handsome tonight...
/I try to playfully joke with you hoping you don’t think I mean that you’re an actual stranger because that’s not what I meant-,,uh I heard it once in a movie./
I got theeeese for you...
/managing to somehow smile, open the passenger side door, and motion for you to hold the bouquet all at once without looking like an idiot/

@Kim Kibum -chuckles softly and nods again-
I know. I know you're coming from a good place. Just don't worry yourself too much if I make friends or not, okay? It's not easy being a socialite after all, especially for me.

@Park Jimin Smiling at my self as I waited for your next i pace nervously occasionally as I breath in deep ..” get a hold of your self yeon everything is fine ..” I closed my eyes chewing on my lower lip out of being nervous before hearing my phone go off ..
I automatically rush to pick it up and look at the screen ..
Unable to hold back a smile feeling my cheeks flustered. Texting back

Text : hey * heart emoji * you’re here ? Okay I’m coming haha I’ll see you in a second jimminie hyung*

I take a deep breath leaving my room and letting my members know I was going out before sliding in my coat and walking out side to greet you with a smile on my face ..” Hey ..” I say looking in your eyes

@Yeonjun /I managed to somehow calm my nerves long enough to climb in the car and mentally prepare myself. Sitting in the seat, readjusting the already corrected rearview mirror. The reflection I see in the mirror is on edge almost crazy lookin’ but still, in a way, calm./ okay jimin this is it...this is everything you’ve practiced for... /gripping the stirring wheel at 10 and 2, and huge deep breath filled my lungs then with an exhale I felt myself melt into a steady place. Then I’m off onto the road to pick you up for our date. Every once in a while I have to throw my hand out over the passenger seat to keep the bouquet of flowers from tumbling around./

/parking in a spot outside of your dorm, I shoot you a text./
Hey yeon :)
I’m outside to pick you up!

@Kim Kibum Well, you have a very strong point there. I can't disagree with that at all.
-chuckles and nods a few times, looking over as you take my hand, tilting my head a bit before looking down and giving a slight shrug-
You don't need to worry about that, okay? I understand where you're coming from but I'm fine. I promise.

@Lee Taemin *chuckling when you feign shock once i kiss you* if you're not careful, i might kiss you again
*once the casserole is filled with enchiladas, i ladle the rest of the sauce on top, sprinkling it with cheese*
can you open the oven, baby boy?
*picking up the casserole, i turn toward the stove, a smile on my lips*
i'm glad i didn't eat a lot today. this looks good - -

@Ok Taecyeon *does a fake, quiet gasp only to lean over to whisper for only you to hear* Oh how dare you kiss me sir~
*wheezes a laugh out and rolls another one carefully, following your actions to fill up the dish with our enchiladas.*
I can't wait and then we get to nom nom

@Lee Taemin that's perfect *nodding, i glance around quickly, making sure no one is staring at us, before i press a kiss against your cheek*
*taking the enchilada, i place it in the casserole dish before i roll one up myself, adding it next to the one you made*
it's going to be ready for the oven soon

@Ok Taecyeon *a small fit of giggles that slips out when you nudge me over and smiles brightly, hoping my eyes could express it*
Yesh please~ *chirps out and fills the first tortilla and rolls it up for you, looking back to see if I did a good job at it*
like that???

@Lee Taemin *smiling, secretly pleased that you find the simple things i do so appealing, i glance around the room, trying to see how far along the other groups were with their meal preparations, my eyes falling on the stranger who had showed up late, surprised to find him staring in our direction*
*shrugging, i start to lay out the tortillas, nudging you with my hip, my smile evident as i look at you even though i'm wearing a mask*
do you want to fill the first tortilla, baby boy? the casserole dish is ready

@Kim Kibum I don't think there's anything wrong with that. And maybe I just feel like it's spoiling me. To be reminded that you're loved and cared for is something like the definition of being spoiled after all, isn't it?
-sips a bit more soju before eating quite a bit more soup-
I don't know... I mean, I talk to Hyungwon sometimes. I don't know if he'd call me a friend, though it would be nice. I talk to a few people around here but I really don't know who would say friend rather than just an acquaintance.
-shrugs and chuckles, smiling softly-

@Ok Taecyeon Do I? *tilts my head and blinks up at you with a playful attitude.* I might be weird, but I find little mundane things that you do...cute and attractive. and cooking is an art skill too, and its hot if you can cook.
*I couldn't help but steal glances at how focused and handsome you looked while cooking in an apron, despite having a mask.*
Good to know that you love it alot~ I will learn a lot of mexican food then.
*nods firmly and rolls up my sleeve and I take a tortilla once they were down and started to put the filling accordingly to the instructions before rolling them up*

@Lee Taemin i think you spoil me, taemin *shakes my head, my cheeks actually getting warm* talking about tortillas does not make me cute or attractive
*trying to focus on the work in front of me, i nod as i steam the tortillas, making them more pliant so they'll be easier to stuff*
honestly, i like most food, but i do love mexican food a lot *chuckles*
*while you grate the cheese, i find the casserole dish, putting a little of the sauce in the bottom of it so the enchiladas won't stick*
ready to start rolling, taem?

@Kim Kibum As if I'm not spoiled enough by you guys.
-goes quiet for a bit, filling my mouth with a good amount of seafood from my bowl before raising a brow at the question, trying to think-
I think you might... I don't know really if they'd call me a friend but huh... Maybe it's not as many as I thought.

@Kim Kibum Oh, I do know. I don't think I could forget that either.
-nods and smiles brightly-
Hm? Well, I guess I can say that I've made a couple? At least I think they might call me a friend?

@Kim Kibum It's nice to know that though. It's nice to be someone special to someone, right? Especially when you're just being yourself.
-raises a brow and then chuckles-
I never thought of it that way either.
-smiles and shrugs my shoulders a little-
It sounds accurate to me.

@Kim Kibum -clutches my chest dramatically for a moment and smiles-
That's so sweet of you.
-smiles widely and tilting my head-
Yeah. It's an art after all. If you touch the heart, you're always bound to win.
-my smile turns a bit dreamy before I'm collecting myself and sipping my soju as well-

@Kim Kibum -smiles brightly, somewhat proudly at your response, glad to see you smiling and laughing-
It's what I do best.
-chuckles and just smiles in pure contentment as I eat some more, very glad that we agreed to do this-
Yeah. You can feel the love they put into the food. That's one thing that makes good food really special.

@Kim Kibum -grins and playfully flexes my muscles-
I can do this.
-chuckles, going back to eating-
That's a whole other level of comfort, huh? Especially if brings about such good memories.

@Kim Kibum Sounds like my kind of job. Especially after having a hand in raising you of course.
-laughs, clearing my throat a little, sighing happily as I continue to eat, loving how warm it makes me feel-
There's definitely a reason they use comfort to describe it.

@Lee Minho you did?
We can move to your plan if you want...
I didn't really do anything apart from the flowers and...
/bites on my lower lip/
I made something... it's not very pretty though...
we don't have to stay here if you had something else in mind

@Kang Hyunggu Okay..
/chuckles softly and tilts my head to the side/
Of course I do...honestly I had planned something for you too- but you never told me if you were .
/kisses your cheek and moves to sit down with a grin on ny lips/

@Ok Taecyeon *my face seems to easily light up as you were talking about what you knew and nods*
you know...its cute listening you talk about this, and watching you go at it~ Its very attractive too, I must say.
i never tried fresh tortillas but with you, I would love to.
*leans up as I had the urge to kiss your cheek and I forgot for a hot second before I quickly pull back and clear my throat, though someone seem to notice it but didn't pull attention to it.*
ah, um that I shall note, you loving mexican food.
*takes the grater and carefully grates the cheese, making sure that my fingers wouldn't get involved with the process.*
mhmm, okayie dokie
