Recipe 003 - Spaghetti
I Loved You on a Sunday Afternoon
Kyungsoo had left the S.M. building to head home. He was going to be earlier than the rest of the members
because they had decided to stay back to practice some more. He was tired from the wrestling match he had
with the producers. With the empty bento in his hand, he got onto the train and rode in silence. He was too
scared to admit that he had enjoyed the lunch. He had engulfed the whole thing in less than five minutes. It
had made him feel all warm and fuzzy inside. He wasn’t going to tell her that though. He wasn’t going to let
her have any hopes in winning over him like how she won over the other members. He still wanted her out,
and he wanted her out fast. Before he knew it, he had reached the dorm. His fingers punched in the five-digit
password, and the door opened with a welcoming ringtone. The kitchen was busy. Everything that was once
placed orderly in the kitchen was now all over the place.
Kyungsoo’s blood began to boil. He dropped everything that was in his hand. His anger rose to the top. Shin yeong
turned around to find Kyungsoo mad-dogging her. His eyes were glaring straight at her.
“You are home, D.O.sii,” she muttered nervously. Her hands fell to her sides, and she stared at him with nervous
eyes. He walked over and grabbed a hold of her wrist, dragging her roughly out of the kitchen and into the living
room.
“How dare you do this to my kitchen?! How dare you?! Does one really have to come home to a scene like this in his
own home? I had it up to here with you!!!” He shouted. “GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!”
Kyungsoo stared at the nightmare before him before heading to the kitchen to clean up. Shin yeong followed him and
insisted on cleaning up the kitchen before leaving. His patience was running out. This woman was going to be the
death of him. He grabbed her hand and dragged her out into the hallway. She began to bang loudly on the door,
begging him to let her in. She didn’t know why he was acting like this. Kyungsoo on the other hand, ignored her
pleads and began to clean up the kitchen. A few curses left his mouth as he was cleaning. He had picked up the pot
on the stove and burned himself from the contact. Shin Yeong couldn’t just stand outside anymore. She punched in
the password and swung the door open. Kyungsoo was sitting on the floor with his injured hand supporting his other
hand.
“Oh god.” Shin yeong rushed over to examine his arm. The burn wasn’t severe but it was pretty bad. She grabbed
some ice from the fridge and placed it on his hand. Kyungsoo winced. The tension in the room had calmed down as
Shin yeong began treating his wound. She didn’t know what to say to him. She finally realized why he was so
annoyed with her. Kyungsoo was the chef here, and she had just violated his kitchen. She hadn’t realized he had so
much hatred for her for taking over his place in this house. “I’ll leave once I make dinner for the others and clean
up.”
She reassured him that she would leave as soon as she was done. Kyungsoo made his way over to the living room. He
tentatively watched her cook and found himself staring for a long time. She was making spaghetti. Her small hand
rolled the ground meat into balls. The pasta was boiling away on the stovetop. Soon, the whole house smelled like
spaghetti. Now that he had a chance to look at the kitchen, he found it too look not so messy. It was as if his eyes
had deceived him before. Guilt ran throughout his body. He had roughly handled a delicate girl. He could have
seriously hurt her.
Shin yeong’s hands pushed the rag back and forth, wiping the countertops clean. She had placed everything back into
its place and cleared all the dishes. Six piping hot plates of spaghetti sat on the dining table. She was ready to head
out. Her eyes made its way to where Kyungsoo was. He had been staring at her for a while. She avoided any eye
contact and walked over to the living room table to grab her bag. He stood up slowly and walked over to where she
was, his hand holding her wrist gently. “I’m sorry if I hurt you in any way. I just lost control.”
“It’s okay. I didn’t know I was angering you. I’ll just ask resign.”
“No, please stay.” Kyungsoo couldn’t believe what he was saying. “I.....I wouldn’t have anyone to help me cook for
the others.”
Shin yeong stood their for a minute. She had thought about resigning. She didn’t want anyone to be unhappy because
of her.
“I know you know why I acted like this. To tell you the truth, I don't know what I was thinking back them. I just know
that right now, if you resign, they will just hire a new cook. I’m just barely getting use to your presence in my
kitchen. I’ve never let anyone touch my kitchen. If you can just promise follow the few rules I have, I....don’t think
I’ll have any problems with you. I’ve come to enjoy what you cook. As you can see, my bento is empty.” Kyungsoo
smiled. His hand reached for the bento laying on the floor.
Shin yeong’s heart felt warmed up. He finally complimented me. He said he liked my cooking! That was enough to
keep her there. She smiled softly at him. “I’ll stay.”
Suho and s were finally making their way back to the dorm. After a tiring practice, they all were ready to
head home. As the five approached the dorm, they found themselves eavesdropping into a rather strange
conversation.
“You know, I saw a newlywed couple have a fight today. The guy even kicked his wife out of the house. She was
banging on the door though. It was a big commotion. I live next door so I heard everything. He was throwing pots
and pans I think. I could only peak out to see her in the hallway. She was finally able to get inside. Things calmed
down afterwards.” The old woman chuckled as she told her story.
Newlywed? There was no newlywed couple in their building, Suho thought.
“Kids these days. They make a commotion, and then they make up.”
“Hyung, do you know what they are talking about? Do we have new neighbors or something?”
“I’ve never heard of any newlyweds moving into our building.” Suho replied. He also had the same question as
Sehun.
“Doesn’t that woman live on the same floor as us? Oh my god.” Sehun realized. He began whispering to the other
members.
They had finally reached their floor. They were giggling at the possibility of Kyungsoo and Shin yeong being the
“newlyweds” the woman was talking about. Suho punched in the code and swung the door open. They all grinned ear
to ear at the sight before them. Kyungsoo, who was still holding onto Shin yeong’s wrist, looked up. Shin yeong
followed his eyes and found s looking at her.
“Ahh hyung. I heard you just had a fight with your wife. It was a great story to hear coming from the woman who
lives next door.” Kai smirked. He was having fun teasing them. The rest of the members cracked up and fell over
laughing. Kyungsoo released Shin yeong’s hand, and the two stood there blushing.
