Chapter 32

Yoona was shocked by hearing the ‘truth’.

“Nice to meet you Yoona.” HyunAe said as she offered her hand for a quick handshake.

Yoona hesitantly took HyunAe’s hand and smiled. “Nice to meet you too unnie.”

“Why are you here?” I asked Yoona since I noticed that it was getting a bit awkward between the two.

“Uhm… Taeyon unnie asked me to buy some things for laundry.” She explained and pointed her cart. “Anyway, nice to see you around here oppa.” She added and bid goodbye.

“Chagi-ah, do really have to look around the whole supermarket every time we have to get something new for another recipe?” I asked since I’m getting tired from all the walking and pushing that I’ve done, going back and forth to the aisles to get something.

“Sorry… I was looking at the list per recipe…” she said as she stopped and looked at me. I’m been really drained from the whole 2 hours of grocery shopping. “Sorry…” she said again and looked at me straight to my eyes.

Okay. Who says I’m tired?

“Okay.” I answered and smiled. Gah, I’m being a bipolar by having HyunAe around. One second I’m tired, sad, down, and after seeing, talking, smiling with her, I’m already happy again. *.*

We went back again to the wet or meat section of the super market. This time to get some pork ribs for Galbi.

HyunAe was busy checking out the meat and I was busy checking out the free taste section. I parked the cart somewhere near HyunAe so she wouldn’t have to walk with it. They have noodles, soups, hotdogs, sausages, and even small pieces of ready to eat Galbi.

Why don’t we just buy the ready to eat one?

The promo girls and boys gave me one of everything that they can offer. Kimchi flavored ramen with egg, cream of crab and corn soup with egg, new brand of hotdog and sausages, and lastly the Galbi.

When I tasted the Galbi, I finally got the answer to my question. It doesn’t taste like the authentic Galbi.

I saw HyunAe put the ribs on the cart, so I got one of the free taste foods and went back to her.

“What’s that?” she asked, looking at me in an awkward manner.

“Soup.” I told her and spooned some. Since it is still hot I, I blew the soup first so HyunAe won’t burn her tongue. “Ah.” I told her. Asking her to open .

“Eh?”

“It’s good. Try it.” I said without taking the spoon on the level of .

She finally opened and tasted the soup.

“right?” I asked and smiled. She just nodded.

I spooned down another one and this time, it was a heaping teaspoon of soup. I still managed to make it a little colder for HyunAe.

She gladly took it this time. But some of it was left on the side of .

I pulled my handkerchief from my pocket and wiped it off gently.

The back of my hand accidentally touched HyunAe’s right cheek.

I can feel my cheeks heat up at the slight touch. And hers too…
