Dae stood still with a frown face. He was fidgeting hard and suddenly sniffed his nose. Abruptly he glanced at the gas oven and quickly turned off the knob. He had left the knob open and it could result in a disastrous accident!
"Umm sorry, I forgot to turn off the knob too." He scratched his head while trying to avoid eye contact with him.
Yeon stood all baffled while witnessing the troubling situations caused by him and sighed heavily. "Why didn't you head back home? Why did you enter my kitchen?" He snapped at him.
Dae lowered his eyes and had a sad expression prominent over his face. "I...I just wanted to have a meal together with you." He replied.
Yeon continued staring at him for a while and sighed heavily. Slowly he rolled the sleeves of his shirt and entered the messy kitchen. "Go and wait in the living room. Breakfast will be prepared soon." He looked quite confident and straightly headed forward to clean up the mess caused by him.
"Do you need my help in cleaning? I am not good at cooking but when it comes to cleaning I can--"
"Just sit and wait for me in the living room. That should be enough help for me." He firmly interrupted his words and continued to do his duty.
...
Dae didn't pester him further as he was quite scared of him when he watched him getting all hyped up today. Even though he tried to ignore the fact, but he was still a real grim reaper who is an ethical creature! What if he snatched away his soul as a punishment?
As he quietly marched towards the living room, he felt a bit of difficulty in walking due to the night suit which was very loose compared to his size. They were obviously of Yeon's size and Dae was comparatively shorter than him when it comes to height and posture.
He laid back on the sofa and gazed at the room with his cryptic stare. The apartment was relatively quite smaller than Dae's own luxurious apartment but it was neatly decorated. However, he was comparing his own messy apartment with this neatly cleaned room and felt a bit embarrassed.
While gazing at the room, all of a sudden, his eyes were stuck on the polka-dotted night suit that he was wearing. His hands appeared quite tiny in that suit and he continued looking at it with a small glimpse of a smile.
"That guy is really broad and muscular... I look like a small teenager in his clothes." He wondered and unknowingly sniffed the rolled-up sleeves of the suit. "Umm, it smells like cherry... Why do his clothes smell so sweet?" He wondered with a smirk.
..
"Why are you sniffing my suit? Are you a pervert?"
Dae flinched with the sudden noise and saw Yeon was carrying a tray full of food while standing at the door of the living room. He felt a bit embarrassed about getting caught off-guard by him and firmly shook his head in opposition.
"I am not sniffing it... I was...umm, just checking the quality of your dress." He tried to make up an excuse instantly.
"Yeah yeah! I just saw it with my own eyes." He walked while mumbling in a soft voice and placed the tray on the table near the sofa.
Dae's eyes shimmered in happiness while witnessing the delicious breakfast that he has prepared for them. There were pork-stir fried noodles, tofu with meatballs, rice cakes along with some sweet desserts. He was gawking at the food happily as pork has been always his ultimate favourite meal.
"Woah! How did you know that I like pork? You...You have just arranged a whole buffet for the breakfast!" He blurted out in excitement.
Yeon seemed a bit happy with the compliment and quietly started to serve the food for Dae. "I prefer to work silently rather than creating chaos like you, pervert." He smirked.
Dae frowned his eyebrows and pouted his face. "Hey, don't call me a pervert! I told you I wasn't sniffing anything! You always call me with weird names... sometimes ignorant human, sometimes stupid human, sometimes pervert... you never call me with my name." He was sulking like a kid.
Yeon couldn't hold himself and sneered at his cuteness. Slightly, he peeked at him and handed the bowl he has served for him, "here, eat this...Dae Hyuk."
Suddenly, Dae's heart fluttered when he heard his name from Yeon's deep voice and he couldn't help but awkwardly gleamed in happiness. Somehow, the opportunity of having a meal together with him felt extremely warm to him.
"Thank you... It feels so good to have a meal together with someone... I was so sick of eating all alone always..." Dae blurted out in a whisper and chomped some pork stir-fried noodles in his mouth. "Ummmmm! This is delicious! Gosh, I have never had anything tastier like this before!" He continued praising his cooking skills.
Yeon felt a bit embarrassed and lowered his eyes from him. "Stop it now, you are exageratting." He mumbled.
"No, I am not! I have been always surviving on ready to eat foods but this meal feels like heaven! I think you could have been a world-renowned chef if you didn't happen to be a grim reaper." Dae continued chattering while gulping down the food.
All of a sudden, Yeon's face darkened in glum and he sighed heavily with his response. "Yes you are right, it sucks to be a grim reaper... I just...hate it..." His voice sounded extremely heavy as if he was carrying an unbearable burden of pain in his heart.
Dae stopped eating and turned his face sideways to glance at him. Yeon seemed to be a bit upset with his response and he felt guilty about it to ruin his happy mood.
Immediately he thought of an idea to uplift his mood and smirked a little. "Okay, just answer me first Mr Yeon, why we were cuddling each other for the whole night in your bed?"
