83 A Perfect Meal (2/2)
First she put a piece of spicy meat inside her mouth, letting the contents melt on top of her tongue. She let out a happy sigh as the wonderful taste encapsulated her taste buds before diving for more.
The wait was worth it. The meat in front of her was the best she's ever tasted. As expected from expensive chefs.
Then, by routine, she put a piece of lettuce on her hand ready to make a ssam. She proceeded to place some rice, mushrooms, meat, and ssamjang on top. As the final step, she wrapped everything up like a green package before placing it in her mouth.
All the flavors harmonized into a wonderful goodness and she couldn't help but squeal.
With amus.e.m.e.nt sparkling in his eyes, Minhyun watched the girl in front of him indulge in food.
”Is it that good?”
She glanced over at him. ”You haven't tasted it yet? Hurry up and eat, it's fantastic!”
He glanced over all the unfamiliar foods. Since he had grown up with chefs for his food and in New York for the rest of his youth and adult career, he hadn't really experienced the korean food life.
But after seeing her eat so eagerly, he couldn't help but feel excited to eat too.
However, considering their past ramen incident, he wondered if their tastes would clash again.
He picked up the meat and carefully placed it in his mouth, chewing slowly.
It was... Quite good. He was happily surprised.
”Is it your first time eating this?” Yoona asked.
”Yes. I've never had the chance to eat Korean food often.”
Seeing that Minhyun was new to this world, yet again, she felt obligated to help him. Just like before, she created another ssam in her hand.
After she put everything in the lettuce, she stood up from her seat and made her way to Minhyun.
”This is my treat for you. Open your mouth.”
Minhyun let out a nervous laugh, eyeing the food in front of him. The size of the ssam was a bit too... Big. He wasn't sure if he could fit it all in.
He opened his mouth slightly.
”Bigger,” she urged.
He complied with her words.
Not before long, she shoved everything in his mouth, and he found himself trying to chew.
Although it was a mouthful, the taste was amazing. Plus, since Yoona specifically made it for him, the experience was all the more savoring for Minhyun.
Yoona sent him a thumbs up. ”Good?”
He mirrored her. ”Good.”
At first, when he rushed into the building, he was worried about Yoona's happiness. Since he did not have experience healing people, he was nervous that today was not going to go well. However, seeing her happily smiling and laughing in front of him as if nothing had happened, made him realize that his worries were unnecessary.
Yoona looked the most beautiful when she was smiling. He was glad to have helped her keep that smile alive.
He should buy her food and snacks more often.
