@➴ Lee Kiwook "Yup. Thank you." He said while smiling and petting the younger head. "Good boy~" he added then laughed.

Sungkyu then put aside the pan with the stir fried vegetables inside it and takes the pot and start filling it with water and let it boil.

"Wookie, if you done washing the potatoes, bring it here, we will put it into the pot after the water boils." He instructed as he now transfered the vegetable into the plates.

@❖ Kim Sunggyu "Yes, food," Kiwook said and smiled, pushing some hair out of his face and looking at Sungkyu. He then nodded. "Yes, I am, wait," he nodded and then walked over, bringing it to Sungkyu.

Even though the light was a little dim in here he could see that Sungkyu knew. That he knew there was more to what Kiwook had been saying but it was better he kept that secret than lose his closest friend again and maybe even forever and end up with heartbreak.

"Like this?" he asked and lookde at the older, curiously.

@➴ Lee Kiwook "Oookaayyyy..." Sungkyu answered while looking at the younger with squinted eyes; still feeling suspicious. The younger tend to keep it to himself and prefer to not saying anything and will keep running away even if he keep asking. He really felt that the younger have something to say to him.

"Okay, food first." He nodded when the younger poked his cheek and smiled back then continue making the food.

He finished cutting his vegetables and putting it into the pan. Turning toward the younger, he tilted his head, "Are you done? Can you bring that pile here?"

@❖ Kim Sunggyu There was a blush on Kiwook's cheeks and he sighed. "I will, don't worry. Really, I'm all good." He hummed softly, rubbing his neck. How embarrassing.

"Just... making sure." Especially as Sungkyu had been feeling so bad in their own world and now he just wanted him to be safe and sound. He poked the other's cheek and smiled. "Let's keep making the food."

@➴ Lee Kiwook Sungkyu squinted his eyes while scanning the younger before let out a sigh.

"Okay, I believe you." He mumbles. "Tell me if you need something, anything, okay?"

"And yeah, I'm okay. Why I shouldn't be?" He asked Kiwook back while tilting his head. Slightly bewildered by the younger.

@❖ Kim Sunggyu "We are safe right now, aren't we?" Kiwook pouted when the other poked his puffed cheeks. It made his heart flutter whenever Sungkyu was close and he hated it but it was not like Sungkyu would ever figure it out. Or reciprocate his feelings. And Kiwook had accepted that a long time ago.

"I'm good, do not worry," he said and kept helping Sungkyu. "What about you? Are you okay too?" he did not want the other to be in any harm after all.

@➴ Lee Kiwook Sungkyu frowned a bit before nodding; decided to believe what the younger said even though he was really curious.

"You have to focus, Wookie." he said while poking the younger puffed cheeks. "You can get hurt if you spacing out while cooking." He added before going back to cut his vegetables.

He turned toward the younger and checking him once again. "But you are really okay, right?"

@❖ Kim Sunggyu (it is super okay bub, do not worry! uwu )

"O-ioh no, I am good," Kiwook said, eyes wide and only blushing some more when the other touched his forehead, a huff escaping his lips when the other's touch felt so nice. How embarrassing. He must have misheard him and now he was making himself an indiot in front of Sungkyu.

"Ah, sorry, I was spacing out," he used the excuse Sungkyu had just delivered him so very easily. At least now he had an excuse. "Sorry." He puffed his cheeks a bit, like he sometimes did to get the attention away from the matter before. "Okay, let's keep cooking, right?"

@➴ Lee Kiwook (Of course not~ I'm sorry it seems I missed your reply.)

"Huh?" Sungkyu turned toward the younger and saw the flush. "You okay, Wookie?" He asked bewildered; putting aside the knife and vegetables before sauntered toward the younger.

"Why are your face so red? Do you have fever?" He asked again as he worriedly checking the younger; putting his palm into the younger forehead.

"Wookie? hey? You are spacing out." He said again while waving his hand in front of the younger. "Wookie?"

@❖ Kim Sunggyu (don't forget me <3)

@❖ Kim Sunggyu Confused Kiwook looked at Sungkyu when he heard the other say "How about I prepare you?" and he looked utterly overwhelmed as his friend, not realising that the older was clearly not ttalking to him. He did not hear the next words so all he did was stare at him.

"P-prepare me?" he asked, his cheeks red and his ears too - but something inside him wasn't even that surprised. While Sungkyu had usually seen him as a brother Kiwook had to admit that sometimes, when he wasn't watching his feelings, there had always been a little bit more.

@➴ Lee Kiwook Sungkyu nodded and smile again, watching the younger walk out of the chamber and then concentrating back into the task in hand.

"Now, how about I prepare you, hm?" he said to himself while looking into assorted spices that he put down on the floor. "But before that, I think I have to cut you first," he added again while pointing toward the vegetables before proceeding to slice them one by one into small edible pieces.

He was so immersed into preparing the ingredients that he didn't hear the younger coming.

@❖ Kim Sunggyu "Okay," Kiwook said and smiled at the other, nodding. He liked seeing Sungkyu smile and he just hoped it was an honest smile, a smile the other meant because what if he was still hiding his pain? But the gentle touch to his hair felt so nice and comfortable, he was so thankful.

He got up, stretching a bit. "I'll get it," he hummed and grabbed the pot, walking towards the water. It was not too much but it was clean and he was grateful. He filled the vessel with water and slowly walked back. It was nice.

@➴ Lee Kiwook Sungkyu chuckles and shakes his head, slightly amused at the younger response.

"Everything is good, Wookie. I just want to make sure it would not be a bother for you." He said while smiling.

"Okay, then." He said while clapped twice. "The water is outside this room. To the left. You'll found something like gourd in the corner." He explained.

"Thank you, Wookie." He said while ruffles the younger hair gently.

@❖ Kim Sunggyu "Oh, sure!" Kiwook said and got up, looking around for the water and grabbed both container and pot. He was glad when he was able to help somehow. He knew he was clumsy and he hated feeling useless however he understood why some people preferred him not to help.

"Mh? How what?" He looked a little confused at his friend, tilting his head. Was something going on? Was something wrong?

"Is everything okay?"

@➴ Lee Kiwook (Ah~ thank you!)

Sungkyu chuckles at the younger words. All the ingredient and tools already gathered and put in the middle, so he sauntered back toward it before sitting down.

"Well," he mumbled while looking around. "How about you wash this potatoes and bring some water for this pot?" he said as he put the potatoes into some container and lift up the pot.

"How?"

@❖ Kim Sunggyu (here we go, new rp!)

A small huff left Kiwook's lips and he looked at the other, shaking his head a bit. "I cannot live without you but I can live without mashed potatoes. Just... it's hard." He gently nudged the other, knowing that he really enjoyed mashed potatoes, he had to admit that and they both knew that.

"Mh, can I help you somehow?" He knew he was clumsy and chaotic but he really wanted to try and help as good as he could. The way he stood was cute so he chuckled quietly.

"No, anything else is fine," he hummed softly, nodding. "Anything you want to eat?" he said and watched his friend. He was so glad they were both here, together.
