"What happened to your hair?" you were surprised to see your boyfriend with his new haircut. Well, he did tell you that he'd be having a new hairstyle as he was having a comeback with his group, but you thought it would be a new hair color and trimmed the hair a bit. You were not expecting him to cut it that short.
He ran his fingers through his short hair nervously, "How do you think?"
"Um, to be honest, it's quite surprising since I never saw you with hair this short, but you can pull up most hairstyles among all your members, so I'll get used to it in a few days. I like the color though. Are you going to make it unicorn?" you spotted a colorful spray of color on top of his white hair.
"No, I think it's just purplish," he answered and you could see that his spirit was down.
"What's wrong? You're too quiet for a Bambam," you made a comment, hoping that he'd get the joke and lightened up. He did chuckle a bit but it didn't reach his eyes.
"Well, I let the fans see my new haircut and some of them said that I looked like eggs." Geez, those people and their mouth.. Sometimes you wanted to stitch their mouth when they ran their mouth easily like that. Just because Bambam joked a lot didn't mean that he wouldn't get hurt. And now he's hurt by that comments. You hugged him immediately and patted his head, running your fingers through his hair, hoping that the gesture would comfort him enough as you couldn't find the right words to console him. You stayed like that for few minutes or so until he broke it off.
"Alright, let's just forget it and do something fun today. What would you like to do?" he was back to his cheerful mode and you were glad to see him recover quickly.
"As if we can do something," you snorted. The covid cases were going up again so everyone was required to stay at home again for the time being. People might go outside for important reasons like groceries shopping, working and anything health-related.
"We can still have some fun while staying indoor," he said. "Maybe I can cook for you."
"Wait, what? You cook?" you were sure your voice went up several decibels. It never came across in your mind that Bambam was capable of cooking aside from ramen and eggs, but he said he could and it was his mission to prove it to you now.
You agreed and watched him gather all the stuff needed to make the dish. As he couldn't cook everything, he ordered the complimentary dishes.
"You're okay with spicy food, right?" he glanced up while holding a plastic bag, you guessed the stuff inside the bag were chili, but you weren't sure as you never saw it in flesh.
"Yeah, as long as it's not super spicy then I'll be fine. Make it mild if possible. I'm not Mark," you added quickly, using Mark as the standard because you knew Mark could handle the heat better than you.
"Oh, okay, then I'll just put 4 of these," he dumped the chili into a big pot and continued throwing stuff in it. You watched him as he dumped the tomatoes in, pounded the ingredients with the pestle before adding the seasoning and then put it the papaya at last. He scooped some and tasted it and seemed satisfied with the result. He picked another spoonful and called you.
"Here, taste it," he held out the spoon and you tried the dish.
"What's this?" you asked as you chewed the dish and he told you that it was somtam, one of Thai dish that he often made himself.
"Is it too spicy for you?" he was worried about the spiciness level but you assured him that it was okay.
He seemed happy with it and plated the dish in a new bowl. He went to get the rest of the food and put it all on the table. He pointed and told you that somtam was best to eat with sticky rice and grilled chicken. You never tried any Thai food before aside from pad thai and tom yang goong, so you were happy to try more Thai food. And he was right. The food were delicious, but later you found that it was too spicy for you. Soon you were sweating and you could feel your lips swollen a bit.
"Here, have some milk," he handed a glass of milk and you thanked him. You never knew that you could counteract spiciness with some milk. You used to drink more water but it wasn't helping at all.
"Hm... I'm full now," you announced, rubbing your round belly after finishing the food and he laughed at you. You followed him with your gaze curiously as he walked to the fridge, grabbing something from the freezer.
"Are you sure you're full? We still haven't had desert yet," he wiggled a tub of ice cream in front of your face and you groaned. He was certainly trying to kill you with all the food and he knew damn well that ice cream was one of your weakness.
"What flavour is it?" you eyed him suspiciously and he read the label on the tub.
"Vanilla," he announced, grinned at you since he knew that was one of your favorite flavour. He grabbed a spoon and deliberately scooping a spoonful before putting it in his mouth. "Mmmhh.. it's nice to have a cold, creamy ice cream after eating spicy food," he added, clearly trying to break your wall. You groaned.
"Okay fineee!! I want some," you reached out over the table and snatched the spoon from his hand before scooping a spoonful for yourself. He grinned before setting the tub in the middle of the table and took turn to eat the ice cream.
"I don't think I can eat anything else for the rest of the day," you announced as you washed the dishes.
"Nah, you'll still eat dinner. You can't skip any meal," he countered and he was right, you never skipped a meal. If everyone else eat to live, you lived to eat. "Anyway, what hair color I should pick for my next hairstyle?"
"You haven't fully shown your newest hair and you're already thinking for the next one?" you raised your eyebrow.
"What can I say?" he shrugged. "I'm always thinking ahead."
"Anyway, who are you trying to copy with that hairstyle? Park Saeroyi?"
He groaned out loud, "Nooooo...!! It's Bieber, man.. Bieber. I saw him cutting his hair real short in his new MV so I thought why didn't I copy him? After all, WOLO!"
You laughed out loud at 'WOLO' which was actually one of their song title. It was supposed to be YOLO but Jackson always reminded everyone since there was a trademark issue, they had to change into WOLO. "Okay, okay, whatever you say," you said after stopped laughing. "Maybe red? Just not Mark's red. It's way too bright. Darker red?" you tried to picture him in red shade. "Or maybe green? Light green?"
"Do you want me to get into an accident?" he raised his eyebrow while you stared at him dumbfoundedly. "Light green will make me stand out, especially in the dark. Imagine I'm walking at night, then the headlight shines on me and the green color will be reflected and might startle the driver and then it could lead into an accident," he explained and you almost believed him.
"The hair color isn't fluorescent, you know, so it won't shine in the dark," you remembered.
"But still, it'll make me stand out more. Are you sure you'll be okay with all the attention they're going to give me with my light green hair?" he wiggled his eyebrows and you rolled your eyes.
"Yes, I'll be fine. After all, it might be easier for Jaebeom oppa to find you when he wanted to kill you," you countered and he became quiet.
"Okay, no light green," he decided and you laughed. Stay at home mandate was surely more bearable with him.
