Chapter 19 - Assumption (1/2)
The pale yellow and pink, glossy layer was able to lead one's mouth to water, and coupled with the red strawberry above it, the dessert appeared appetizing to Jinhee. Nonetheless, no action on her part was taken to try a bite out of it.
Serenity surrounded both of them whilst they were seated upon the second floor of Delights. A white chandelier— most likely a new addition— shone its light above the two of them, the only ones present there.
Jinhee's dark eyes held a dull expression while it fell upon the dessert, and a frown was evident on her face. Lower lips thrusted forwards, many would assume that Jinhee was in a deep thought on something solemn.
Nonetheless, Taehee found it amusing. To her, it appeared as if Jinhee was pouting and increased her desire to coax Jinhee. Multiple ideas on how to break that silent treatment she received from Jinhee popped into her mind.
Chuckling lightly— a move that surprised Jinhee moderately— Taehee picked up his dessert spoon and dug it into the jelly layer. Scooping up the dessert, Taehee forwarded it towards Jinhee.
"Open up, Jinhee-ah," Taehee spoke out— her eyes smiling.
Jinhee stared at Taehee with a blank expression, but mixed with it, there was astoundment present towards Taehee's actions.
Being forced against her will was not something Jinhee was fond of, but she was helpless. Threatening Jinhee that she'll use force against her if she isn't obedient, Taehee could only comply.
Taehee was not someone Jinhee could fight against now. Therefore, the only option for Jinhee to go through what Taehee had decided for her until Taehee gets bored, and at the same time, plan for ways to either get Taehee disinterested in her or avoid Taehee completely.
"No need. I have my own," Jinhee answered while picking up her dessert spoon. Since Jinhee preferred to keep her self-respect, she does not want to in complete control of Taehee.
"Don't reject me, Jinnie," Taehee stated. Her voice was coated with warningness, contrary to the warm expression that sat on her face.
Hesitantly, the scoop of dessert offered was accepted by Jinhee, and chewing the soft dessert, the taste blended in her mouth. The sourness of the strawberry could be detected, causing one to wince, but the flavour of banana relieved that.
The dessert seemed to be made carefully or else both the fruits wouldn't leave a pleasant taste by being coupled together. Nonetheless, Jinhee was in no mood to enjoy the dessert.
