It was almost time for dinner and after talking and discussing their course of action, Bai Yulin's stomach growled.
It was so loud it made her embarrassed to death.
She turned to face Ji Haishan who was also quite shocked with which his own body was growling loudly. He didn't know if it was because of Bai Yulin or him.
The both of them were embarrassed for their own personal reason..
Then, as if getting back to his senses, he stood up and said "I'll make dinner so go and take a bath."
Then he disappeared into the kitchen which was five times larger than in her cheap apartment. He even tied his long hair into a messy ponytail before walking away.
Bai Yulin didn't move an inch even after he was no longer seen. She was suddenly awe-struck. The way Ji Haishan ordered her to go and take a bath was somehow.. domineering and.. attractive.
And the way he tied the hair.. was sexy.. and rough- cough! cough!
'What are you thinking, Bai Yulin!! You're crazy!! He's not like those male leads in the dramas! He's different!' she later scolded herself, pinching on her own fair cheeks.
Bai Yulin immediately scurried away into her own room, afraid that Ji Haishan would notice her own beet red face.
When she dipped into the bathtub, Bai Yulin finally managed to get rid of her indecent thoughts. It took her a great deal of patience to do it. She was now immersed in the sweet fragrance of the bath water.
"Ahh.. this is heaven." she sighed. She felt all sort of fatigue dispersing into thin clouds.
Bai Yulin rested her head gently on the wall while she hummed a song. She slowly massaged her own strong arms and big legs. Her skin moisturized with the bath water.
"Hm.. this is a blessing." she hummed. Secretly giving pointers for Ji Haishan's yummy-looking muscles. She ignored the thing hanging in between her thighs just like how she always did.
As she was getting comfortable, she began to feel drowsy. Bai Yulin immediately succumbed to La la land.
Meanwhile in the kitchen, Ji Haishan was cooking. He had his sleeves folded up to his elbow, showing his slender and delicate arms that looked soft and could break any moment. They were basically a woman's arms.
He was wearing an apron, which further charmed his own expression. Even those celebrity chefs lost to him in terms of beauty and cooking style.
It was because Ji Haishan was free in the kitchen.
He could do whatever he wanted and he liked it.
To him, cooking was his only pleasure in life except for work.
Ji Haishan had once dreamed of becoming a chef, just like his late father.
But no matter what he did, he couldn't cook like his father. He couldn't create the same taste as him despite following his recipe numerous times.
And surprisingly, Bai Yulin could.
When he ate her food at her apartment, he realized how it was the same as his father's cooking.
He was so caught up in the familiar taste that it made him instinctively shed a tear.
It was a truly shocking revelation for him. How couldn't he make the same taste but a certain stranger could??
It was unfair.
Ji Haishan shook his head to get rid of his unnecessary thoughts. He didn't want to remember the taste again. It hurt him everytime he thought about it.
It was even more painful when that same taste made him remember a certain woman who was the cause of his father's death.
The real reason why he hated woman.
A good 45 minutes went by and the food was about to be finished with cooking. Ji Haishan never saw Bai Yulin's figure and he frowned.
Where was that woman?
"Don't tell me she's asleep in the bathtub?" he took out his apron and approached her room.
When she didn't answer the knocking, he went in. He looked around and sure enough- Bai Yulin was nowhere to be seen. She must still be in the bathroom.
"This woman.." he clicked his tongue and walked to the bathroom, knocking on the door several times. Veins already popping on his forehead.
"Bai Yulin, wake the hell up! Stop sleeping in the bathtub!" he yelled.
But still no answer.
After some time, she still wasn't answering him so Ji Haishan decided to just barge in. He cursed a 'damn it!' once before he went in.
There, he saw a naked figure of a man lying inside the bathtub. His face and skin was all sturdy and lean. It looked hard rock and some delicious-looking abs were seen underneath the water. The said man's face was flushed red.
It looked like Bai Yulin was having a fever.
Ji Haishan's heartstring was suddenly pulled in. He felt his heart throb and he didn't like seeing her in such condition.
He quickly closed their distance and tried waking her up. When Bai Yulin didn't answer, he started to get worried.
Suddenly, the paper doll emerged from nowhere!
Ji Haishan was startled and cursed "Good lord!"
He gritted his teeth "What the hell! You scared me!"
*Hello party A! Good to see you!*
"I won't say 'likewise' to you." he mumbled something under his breath.
*Party A, since party B is having a fever- then this second task will be done by yourself!*
"Huh?"
*I'm here to give you your second task!
Task 2: Nurse party B until she's healthy again to participate in the game!
Condition(s):
1. Party A can ask for a doctor's help but can't admit party B in the hospital.
2. Party A needs to be by party B's side 24/7.
3. Party A must make homemade food for party B everyday.
4. Party A must feed the food and medicine for party B everytime she needs them.*
"Huh???" Ji Haishan's mouth went agape.
What was he, a nanny? A nurse?
What kind of game was this??
"Why should I do it just because she's sick- hey!" the doll gradually disappeared into thin air as if it wanted to run away after doing mischief.
"Hey- wait!" Ji Haishan didn't get to say more as the doll disappeared after saying its last cursed sentence.
*Don't fail the second task or else the penalty awaits!*
The word penalty immediately made his body turn rigid.
Penalty..
Penalty..
The f*cking penalty!!!
Damn it you gods and goddesses!!!
Ji Haishan felt his legs turn wobbly. He lost his strength that he was so proud of. Then he eyed Bai Yulin who was unconscious.
He sighed, having no choice.
