Lemon Zest

moosic -

Jieun's eyes glazed over the pale yellow fruit. This little fruit, was amazing in so many ways. It was spotted with a few dots, like dimples almost. The brightness of it was so.. sunny. She turned it in her hand, revealing the other side. It seemed flawless almost, like some people were. Yet, this little fruit retained the purity and innocence that so many have lost when it came to beauty. It was just something about it. A little leaf hung by on thread on one end. The open window let the sunshine spill in, and a breeze flew in. The leaf hung on for dear life, refusing to let go.

Pursing her lips, she examined the lemon for its ripeness. It seemed perfect, of course. And she placed it back into its bowl, a light wooden thing. Bit by bit, the counter top filled with baking supplies. Out came a bright green bowl, and Jieun poured in some flour. The mixing spoon stirred around and incorporated new ingredients, all to add to whatever tasty thing that Jieun was making.
