Chapter 144
“Where do you want to start? Should we explore the first floor?”
“···Yes.”
This is exhausting.
Not even ten minutes into our date, and I already felt drained from Siwoo's playful teasing. Before we started dating, he was always so cool and kind.
But lately, he’d taken to teasing me now and then. No matter how much I tried to stay calm, I’d end up blushing fiercely.
Ugh, it's too much.
Does he find my reactions that amusing?
“You know, I find this a bit surprising.”
“Surprising how?”
“I didn’t know you liked fish.”
“···?”
Siwoo looked at me as if he found it curious. Liking fish? If I had to choose, I liked seafood, but that was as food.
This was my first time at an aquarium, and I had never really had the chance to see live fish before, so I didn’t particularly think I liked them.
So, liking fish? I had never mentioned anything like that.
“Oh, you don’t? I thought you wanted to visit the aquarium.”
“Ah...”
That was it.
Because I chose the aquarium as our first date spot, he thought I liked fish.
“I don’t like them that much.”
“Really? Then why...?”
“I thought it would be a new experience. As you know, I lack common knowledge.”
More precisely, it was Amelia’s suggestion.
She had advised that since I was going out on a date, I might as well learn something new. Amelia had seen me struggle with Dorothy’s common knowledge questions once and probably thought of that.
At first, I thought it wasn’t a bad idea, but now I was second-guessing it.
It’s our first date. Shouldn’t we go somewhere more meaningful?
I was worried Siwoo wouldn’t like it and kept glancing at him nervously.
“I see.”
“···You’re not mad?”
“Me? Why?”
“Because I chose our first date spot for personal reasons...”
“You’re overthinking things.”
Tap.
Siwoo lightly flicked my forehead. It didn’t hurt, but the sudden action startled me.
“I would’ve liked wherever you wanted to go.”
“···Why?”
“Because you’re there.”
He always does this.
Sometimes, I feel down because I think I’m only receiving from Siwoo and never giving back.
In those moments, Siwoo always says something embarrassing like this.
···It’s unfair.
Saying things like that makes all my worries seem insignificant.
It makes me feel like everything will be fine as it is.
“Come to think of it, this is your first time at a place like this, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Then I’ll choose the route. How about that? ···Here.”
Siwoo naturally extended his hand to me.
The gesture seemed to say that everything would be okay if I just followed him.
That he would help me face any challenges ahead.
Happily, I took his hand.
“That was fun....”
“Yeah, it was more impressive than I expected.”
“Eating out wouldn’t be a bad idea. You must be tired.”
“Oh no.”
“What about ingredients? There weren’t any in the fridge...”
“I ordered in advance. Don’t worry.”
“···Alright. I’ll go take a shower.”
“Yes, look forward to it. I’ll prepare something delicious.”
I understood Siwoo’s concern.
He worried I’d be tired after a long day out. But I really wanted to cook dinner tonight.
After a date, having a delicious homemade meal by your partner’s hand is always special.
I wanted to cook for Siwoo tonight.
Not long after Siwoo went into the bathroom, I heard the sound of water hitting the floor, indicating he had started his shower.
“···Alright.”
Amelia had planned a perfect date.
Playing at the aquarium, eating a delicious lunch, watching the penguin and dolphin shows, and exploring the aquarium again before heading home.
I couldn’t thank her enough. I’d have to express my gratitude next time I saw her.
“Oh, I can’t waste time.”
While Siwoo was in the shower, I needed to prepare the meal quickly. I opened the box Amelia sent.
“What the...?”
Forget thanking her.
What was she thinking?
Desperately, I searched for other ingredients, but there was nothing else. Just some frozen food and canned goods.
I couldn’t serve Siwoo, who’d be starving, such a poor meal. Not today.
“···Sigh.”
There was no other choice.
Steeling myself, I began to cook.
“Hmm, it smells good. What are you making?”
“Eel.”
“Eel? Wow, sounds tasty. What are these?”
“Ah, those are... oysters and abalone. I grilled them with butter and added some chives and ginger...”
“What about this?”
“Schisandra and black raspberry. I thought it would make a nice tea for dessert...”
“Wait, isn’t this a bit...?”
“Ah, ahaha... w-well, there’s also octopus and shrimp! Because we went to the aquarium!”
“Hold on. Chives, eel, abalone, ginger, schisandra, black raspberry... Arte, this is...”
“It’ll take a while, so please rest!”
I pushed Siwoo out of the kitchen.
He must have realized it.
I felt a wave of resentment towards Amelia.
Why did she send these?
Siwoo would surely think something was up.
Meanwhile, in Amelia’s room.
“Grandpa, did you deliver the items properly?”
“Of course. Who do you think I am?”
“Great. Arte will definitely notice. But I wonder if Siwoo will get it.”
Amelia leisurely sat in a rocking chair, popping grapes into her mouth.
“I wonder what kind of face Arte is making right now?”
“···Who knows.”
“I’d love to see it in person, but I guess I’ll have to give up on that.”
If she could, she’d sneak into their house to spy, but that would likely make both Arte and Siwoo turn against her.
So Amelia contented herself with imagining their reactions.
“Hmm, these grapes are delicious. I should have included some of these too. What a pity.”
