Dinner [Edited]

With the last touch for visual effects, I set both plates on the table. Seeing no movement from the couch. I grab an orange and tiptoe to the couch. Hehe, revenge. I raise the orange above his sleeping head, as I get ready to squeeze a hand quickly creeps up my wrist flinging the orange off my hand. Even though I was scared as fuck, I couldn't let him know that I know he knows that I'm 100% scared.

I furrow my brows while my face comes into a pouting stance. "Awee I wanted some revenge. I'll get you next time, anyways dinner's ready." I shake his grip from my hand and walk away. While taking off my apron and setting it down, I hear a huge wow from behind me. I tilt my head with a soft smile. I see him blush than I thought of the perfect revenge. I walk to the other side of the table and sit on the stool next to him.

I tilt my head cutely. "Is it good 아빠?" He turns around with cough while covering his fully flushed face. "아빠~ Is it good? Do you like? 아-" He covers my mouth with his hands. "I don't know what the fuck you're calling me but it sounds kinky. So please stop." I giggle. I grab his stool and pull it towards me. I stare into his eyes, with my best aegyo voice. "Daddy~ Is it good? I twied weally hawd" I puff out my cheeks for full effect.

"Good? Good?!? This is fucking amazing! Where did you learn how to cook like that?" I stare blankly at him. I did say 아빠 in English right? I'm 100% sure what came out of my mouth just now was daddy. How did that have no effect? My aegyo has always been effective.

After a few couple awkward seconds I come to the realization that he's American, he probably doesn't even know what aegyo is...he probably thinks there's something wrong with my brain. Thinking that my face flushed very badly from embarrassment. Haha, how embarrassing. Welp if he's going to pretend nothing happened. So will I.

"My mom taught me."

"Is your mom back in Korea?"

"Yea…"

"I bet she is very beautiful."

"Yea she was the most beautiful."

"Was?"

He stops eating and looks at me. His face scrunches up in worry. I quickly turn away. And start to eat my plate. He sighs and I feel the warmth of his hands on my head, ruffling up my already messy hair. "I'm sorry that was inconsiderate." I wipe my tears away and give him a soft smile. "I'm fine. I'm happy. I have someone here to appreciate my cooking. I have you here and that's all I need to be happy. So I'm happy." I hear the clatter of a utensil drop. Please don't flirt with me. Those were the words that repeated in my head. Fuck. I did it again. I was getting too comfortable.

"Hey-"

"This type of food is really good with some alcohol." I stood up rummaging through the cabinets. "Oh no you don't have any, Ima go get some." I quickly grab my small backpack that carried my wallet.

"Wait, let me go with you. I have some-"

"I'll be fine, I saw a convenience store on the way here." Before another word can escape his lips, I've already dashed outside the door on my way to the front of the neighborhood. But on the way, I got lost. I saw a basketball court so I decided to walk up to some kids that were playing.

"Ummm excuse me?" Once saying that all eyes have turned to me. The girls that were sitting on the bench started screeching, giggling to themselves. I hear one girl say "Oppa~" I shudder at the mispronunciation. Koreaboos… I quickly put on a fake smile. "Um hello, how embarrassing. I've seen to have gotten myself lost. I'm new here and looking for the front entrance. Can one of you help me out?"

I hear a kid yell out. "Yo Conner, help this girl out, she looks like your type." A water bottle was thrown at the guy who just assumed my gender. The girls kept scolding him, talking about that's a guy. You dumbass. But it's not like its a total lie. I just would like to be referred to as a guy. But a tall blue-eyed blonde kid comes up.

"You need help mam?" He said with a wide grin. I just couldn't help my lips from twitching. "I just need directions to the front entrance." I look up at him but suddenly something got into my eye, I tried batting it out, without tearing up. But man did it sting.

When it finally flew out, I look up again to see the guys face flushes red. "Let me walk you up." I hear a couple of whistles from behind him. "Um no that's alright, I just need some concrete directions so next time I won't get lost." He just rubs his neck and starts signing directions.

"So it's just straight ahead and I turn right? It will be past 4 houses." He nods his head when I repeat the directions to him. I blush suddenly. "Um this is embarrassing but which is right." I hold out my hands in front of me, turning my back towards him. His chest bumps into mine and he touches the hand with the backward L.

"It's embarrassing to ask but I tend to mix up my left and rights. Thank you very much." I give a small smile and wave as I continue on my adventure to get some alcohol. Once I reached the front I realized I forgot to ask where the convenience store is. Should I go back? I should definitely go back. Let's go back.

But it might be considered annoying if I keep asking. Or worst being flirtatious. You know what let's just pick a random side.
