I Loved You First
Thankful that it was a Sunday, Sulli woke up a little late than her early 6AM routine. She felt better although she was up often because of her cough. She stayed in bed for a while when her phone started vibrating. Amber placed it on silent mode before she left, so Sulli won’t be disturbed from her rest.
Sulli reached her phone and see who the caller is. It was Minho.
“Hello?” she answered with a husky voice
“Good morning. Sorry, did I wake you? Are you feeling better?” he asked with a worried tone
“Good morning, Minho. I was already awake. I feel better now.”
“*sigh* That’s good to hear.”
“Yeah… so, why the early call? Do you need anything?”
“Uhmm… I’m actually here in your building.”
“Huh?” shocked she sat up “What? Why?” her voice got a little louder
“I want to visit you. May I come up?” he had to insist. He didn’t sleep well last night thinking about her being sick and alone.
Sulli was hesitant, but she can’t tell him to leave since he’s already downstairs, “let me talk to Annie” she said sighing
Minho handed the phone to Annie at the front desk telling her that Sulli’s on the line.
“Hello Ma’am, good morning. This is Annie….. yes Ma’am…. Yes… I’ll tell him. Ok Ma’am… get well soon. Goodbye” Annie gave the phone back to Minho
“Sir, I’ll have you escorted to her unit.” Annie said smiling and called a staff to accompany Minho up.
“Thanks Annie” Minho gave her his winning smile
Minho was shown the way to the elevators and was accompanied by a male staff to Sulli’s unit. As soon as the elevator doors opened, the male staff ushered him to Sulli’s door.
When Sulli hang up, she immediately run to the bathroom and did her morning routine. She didn’t bother put any cosmetics on as it will be time consuming. She got out of the bathroom and grabbed a sweater from her closet. She was wearing sweatpants and a fit shirt underneath the sweater.
Just in time she walked out of her room, there was a knock on her door.
“That could be him” she muttered as she walked towards the door.
She opened it and found a fresh looking Minho smiling with Andy, the male staff, beside him.
“Good morning!” Sulli greeted them both
“Good morning Ma’am.” Andy greeted and stepped aside as he gestured Minho to Sulli’s door.
“Thanks for bringing him Andy”
“Sure Ma’am, I’ll leave now. Have a good day and get well soon” He bowed and left.
“Come in” Sulli opened the door wider letting Minho in.
“Thanks… you have a nice place” Minho took a quick scan of the unit
“Mmm… thanks…” she shyly replied “What’s with the bags?” she asked when she saw what Minho was carrying
Minho then faced Sulli “I know you haven’t had breakfast yet. So… I brought ingredients. I could’ve cooked already but it might get cold when I reach here.” He said as he was being ushered to the counter of the kitchen.
“And I know you’re still unwell… So I’m offering my services” He smiled sheepishly “I’ll cook for you.”
“Eh? This is so embarrassing… It’s your first time to visit my place and the first thing you do is cook for me” Sulli pouted
Minho just chuckled at the act “It’s ok you know. Like I said, I offered. Besides, it would be a nice remembrance to your kitchen too.” He said, victorious.
Sulli raised her hands in surrender. She grabbed a seat and watched ‘Chef Minho’ expertly preparing the ingredients. She assisted only by handing the utensils he needed for cooking.
“Aww… too bad I can’t taste your delicious soup well.” She said, again pouting
Minho really find her cute doing that.
“Don’t worry, I’ll cook for you next time” he said smirking, scooping a ladleful of soup to a bowl. When he was done, he brought two bowls to the counter, serving Sulli one.
“You should. According to Taemin, you cook deliciously and if it were not for his fast metabolism, he would’ve been so fat now.” Sulli giggled while passing a spoon to Minho
Minho smiled at the comment “Really now… well remember this, when a guy knows how to drink, liquors and such, he cooks at his best.” He said smirking
“So you’re saying you drink a lot?” she asked blowing the soup on her spoon
“I drink… and I make sure I don’t get drunk… how’s that sound?” he was enjoying the conversation
“Oh, is that possible? Hmm… can you teach me then?” she too was enjoying
“Teach you what?” he got confused
“Teach me how to drink and not get drunk” she answered casually
“Na-uh” shaking his head “I’m not one to teach. It’s self-learned… Wait… you haven’t tried drinking yet?”
Sulli shook her head while sipping a spoonful of soup.
“Oh” he was surprised that she got through 2 years in college without a drink
“If that’s the case, whenever you plan to drink, I should be there” he said taking a sip
“Why? So you could see me throw up when I get drunk?” she laughed
“Well that and…” he stopped
“And what?” she asked raising her brows
“…and witness what a drunk Sulli looks like” he reasoned. He didn’t want to tell that he’ll take care of her when she’s drunk and all that mushy cheesy stuff because she might get the wrong impression.
“Tsss… we’ll see” she just rolled her eyes and continued having her soup.
Sulli is feeling better now. Having 2 days of rest she’s up to her feet a
