it started when i was on the first day of my school year, someone approached me and guide me to school. i was kinda happy since she seems to be an approachable person.

madami rin akong nakilala na kaibigan niya, lahat sila'y mapagkaibigan kaya madali lang sila makausap. jisu-noona, first friend of mine was currently getting ready for our night out. nagkukulitan kami ni yuna nang may lalaking nagpakita. he isn't familiar.

"asan si jisu-noona?" tanong nito kay yeji-noona. saglit lang kami nagkatitigan at siya ang naunang bumitaw. sinagot siya ni noona, "nasa kwarto."

well, that was the first time i got attracted at first glance. my first thought of him is that he looks cute and have good boy atmosphere around him. hindi rin nagtagal ay nalaman ko nalang na pinsan siya ni jisu-noona at siya ay si beomgyu.

ako pala si lee chaeryeong, second daughter of the two good cook which are my parents whose running a restaurant enough for us to live. tinawag ako ni chaeyeon-noona dahilan mawalan ako sa pagtulala.

as a daughter of resto owners, kailangan kong tumulong at alamin ang pagluluto. i helped my sister to the costumers dahil narin sa kilala na ang restaurant.

one day, jisu visited the restaurant to order food since her mom loves the food we serve at kasama niya pa si beomgyu. i don't know what i'm doing since he's here.

"hi," he greeted. i awkwardly look at him shortly and back at the food i'm currently cooking since my parents was out to buy groceries and my sister is in her friends' place to do project. ngumiti ako, "h-hello."

"ikaw pala nagluluto," sabi niya. pinapanuod niya lang akong magluto dahil si jisu ay tumungo sa banyo para magbawas kaya kami lang dalawa dito sa kusina. umiling ako, "minsan lang."

"pwedeng patikim?" tanong niya. tumango ako at kumuha ng lalagyan para lagyan iyun at bigyan siya ng kutsara. tinikman niya ito at ngumiti siya sa'kin dahilan tumibok ang puso ko, "masarap talaga."

nabigla ako dahil sa paghawak niya ng kamay ko. naramdaman kong uminit ang pisngi ko dahil biglaan 'to para sa'kin. para bang may bitwin sa mata niya habang nagtanong sa'kin na, "pwede mo ba ako turuan magluto?"

wala sa sarili kong tumango, "si-sige ba." then i saw him smiling cutely at me, his face was glowing from my sight.

"ako pala si beomgyu, ikaw?"

"ch-chaeryeong.."

"looking forward to be cooking with you, chaerie!" that nickname from him made my heart thump loudly. oh heart, why you gotta react that much?
