The evening of the dinner party at Eun-sim's apartment was a symphony of activity in the kitchen. So-jung, Na-luna, Eun-sim, and So-ae all gathered around the stove, each focused on their own dishes but also contributing to the overall preparation of the meal. It was a coordinated chaos of chopping, stirring, sizzling, and simmering as they worked together to bring their culinary creations to life.

So-jung, with her expertise in traditional Korean dishes, took charge of the kimchi jjigae. She deftly chopped vegetables and marinated the kimchi, the savory scent filling the air and creating a sense of nostalgia for home-cooked meals. As she stirred the pot, she hummed a familiar tune, lost in the rhythm of cooking.

"yuh. pass me the knife please" SO-ae said as So-jung passes her the knife before resuming her work. 

Na-luna, with her love for Japanese cuisine, was busy preparing a batch of sushi rolls. She carefully sliced the fresh fish and vegetables, rolling them up with precision and finesse. Her fingers moved nimbly, a testament to her years of practice and dedication to mastering the art of sushi-making.

"lol this burns my eyes" Na-luna said as she wipes her tears given by onion, "i will make sure to make you guys cry too" she warned the onion , making everyone doubt that is she alright?

Eun-sim, the creative soul of the group, experimented with a fusion dish that combined traditional Korean flavors with a modern twist. She mixed spices and sauces, creating a symphony of tastes and textures that reflected her eclectic taste and bold personality. Her energy was infectious, inspiring the others to think outside the box with their own dishes.

So-ae, the quiet observer, focused on a family recipe that held a special place in her heart. She gently stirred a pot of hearty stew, the aromas of meat and vegetables mingling together in a comforting embrace. Her dish was a labor of love, a tribute to her grandmother's influence on her passion for cooking.

As they worked side by side in the small kitchen, a sense of camaraderie washed over them. They shared ingredients, exchanged cooking tips, and offered words of encouragement to each other. Despite the chaos and the tight quarters, there was a sense of harmony in their collaboration, a shared goal of creating a meal that would not only satisfy their hunger but also nourish their souls.

And when the last dish was finally plated and ready to be served, they all stepped back to admire their handiwork. The table was a colorful mosaic of flavors and textures, a testament to their teamwork and creativity in the kitchen. As they sat down to enjoy the fruits of their labor, they knew that this meal was more than just food - it was a reflection of their friendship and the bond that held them together, united in their love for good food and great company.

It was a cool evening in Seoul, and the atmosphere was filled with anticipation as Eun-sim's apartment bustled with activity. The dining table was set with an array of dishes, each one prepared with love and care by the four friends - So-jung, Na-luna, Eun-sim, and So-ae. As they gathered around the table, the smell of delicious food wafted through the air, creating a sense of warmth and comfort.

"So-jung, your kimchi jjigae looks amazing," Na-luna exclaimed as she helped herself to a bowl. So-jung smiled, pleased with the compliment. Her dish was a family recipe passed down through generations, and she had put her heart and soul into preparing it for her friends.

Eun-sim's table was filled with a variety of dishes, each one representing her eclectic taste and creative flair. From spicy tteokbokki to sweet pancakes, her dishes reflected her playful personality and love for experimentation in the kitchen.

As they dug into the delicious meal, conversation flowed easily among the friends. They shared stories about their families, reminiscing about childhood memories and laughing at old inside jokes. So-ae shared a touching story about her grandmother's influence on her love for cooking, and Na-luna recounted a funny anecdote about a mishap in the kitchen that had them all in stitches.

"its looking like periods" na-luna said picking up something reddish as So-ae screamed and slapped her hard making her fall with a loud thumb, "the hell, i was just joking" she exclaimed as So-jung sighs helped her up, "don't joke this disgustingly while eating" . 

As they enjoyed their food in companionable silence, the bond between the four friends grew stronger. They realized how much they valued each other's friendship, and how grateful they were to have found a group of people who accepted them for who they were. In that moment, sitting around the table, sharing a meal and stories, they knew that they were more than just friends - they were a chosen family.

As the evening drew to a close, the friends lingered around the table, savoring the last bites of food and enjoying each other's company. They knew that the memories of this dinner would stay with them forever, a reminder of the special bond they shared and the unconditional love they had for each other.

"okay, so, have you guys packed the left overs?" Eun-sim asked as she gazes the trio wearing their shoes , So-jung nods and shows her the dish in her bag, "i have it" and so does the other two, "great! , enjoy!" . 

And as they bid each other goodnight and went their separate ways, they knew that they would always have a place at the table in each other's hearts. The dinner had not only filled their stomachs but also nourished their souls, leaving them with a sense of joy and fulfillment that would last a lifetime.
