"No matter how hard I tried,
it was her, and it will always
be her"

THEA SKILLFULLY USED her agile hands to help her boyfriend add the appropriate ingredients to the frying pan, ensuring that the dumplings they were preparing were neither bland nor excessively seasoned. She neatly pushed back the sleeves of her black hoodie to evade any obstacles while swiftly slicing the vegetables on the wooden surface.

Her face brightened with joy as she experienced the comforting embrace of her boyfriend's robust and powerful arms encircling her slender waist effortlessly from behind. Without uttering a word, Thea carried on with her activities while allowing Mun to nuzzle into the curve of her neck. A tingling sensation ran down her back when he swiftly pressed a gentle kiss on the fragile skin of her neck.

Despite the limited time they had to express their affection as they previously did, both of them appreciated these significant small instances.

Thea rotated her body, encountering Mun directly. Upon realizing this, he smiled at her with such gentleness that it melted Thea's heart. Acting on impulse, she gently kissed her boyfriend on the lips, leaving him surprised and feeling bashful. Thea was unable to resist the temptation to gently pinch his cheeks after seeing the surprised look on his face when she unexpectedly kissed him.

I'm burning up" he lazily slumped onto the counter, but his head immediately shot up upon seeing Mun and Thea very close to each other "You could cook eggs on my forehead. I wonder if I can still smell" his eyes narrowed with resentment and his hands clenched into fists, momentarily considering ripping his shirt

"Oh, no. Poor Jeok-bong. I bet you're too sick to eat dumplings" Ms. Chu exclaimed as she placed a tray in front of him with a bowl of porridge to help him recover quickly

"What?" Jeok-bong shifted his gaze away from the couple towards the bowl in front of him

"Have this instead" Ms. Chu pushed the tray towards him, encouraging him to take the first spoonful

"What is this?" Jeok-bong with suspicion, sincerely inspects the food in front of him as if it could potentially be poisoned or something along those lines

"The dumplings are ready" After Thea pushed him away to prevent the dumplings from burning, Mun proudly took his hands off her and held the frying pan. Throughout the whole situation, he had been clinging to her closely like gum. Now, he deliberately passed the frying pan in front of Jeok-bong to torment him with the mouthwatering aroma

"Dumplings" Jeok-bong repeated, feeling a sudden urge to satisfy his appetite. Ms. Chu playfully nudged Mun on the arm, signaling him to cease his teasing of the unfortunate boy "Dumplings. I should eat well at times like—"
