Chereads / Life after being a Mercenary / Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Dinner

Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Dinner

Me and my sister finally got home after hours of bonding with our other friends.

"Hey brother! We should get ready to wash up all the vegetable and cook something good before mom comes home!"

I heard my sister says as she unload all of the stuff we bought even though we are not the one who paid for it.

"Yeah but, aren't you tired? You should rest and I'm the one who is gonna cook"

"What? But..."

She was about to say something but I just stopped her and then says that I know how to cook.

When I was in the second mercenary camp, I used to cooked for them and all of them complimented me for it. I wanna see if my sister will also like my cooking.

"It's really okay, you should rest and let me do the cooking"

".... Alright"

She finally agreed and then just walked upstairs to her room.

I on the other hand, get ready all of the vegetables and meat I am gonna cooked. I wash all of it and put the other things like juice and some drinks in the refrigerator.

I started cooking all of it and then prepare it on the table.

"Hey Ara, you should head downstairs. The food is ready"

I said infront of her room because I went upstairs.

"Really?"

"Yeah, just tell me if you like it"

We both go down to the kitchen and then sit on one of the tables there and then started to eat.

"Wow! This is so good!"

She shouts saying those words which made me smile. It's been a while since I last cooked, getting to hear it by a family of mine is making me happy.

"Thanks"

"You should cook if you have time! All of this are so good!"

She kept complimenting the dish I cooked for her which it makes me want to smile more and while eating, I heard the door open and then saw my mom enter.

"Oh hey... That smells good.... What did you cooked Ara?"

I heard my mom says which made me and my sister looked at her, her dark long hair is curly as ever and her brown eyes is still beautiful even though it seems tired.

"Oh I'm not the one who cooked! It's Julian!"

She says which made my shocker and then she looked at me with a shocked expression on her face. I just smiled at her and then take a plate.

I put a food on the plate and gave it to her as a proof that the food i cooked will taste great.

"You should sit down, mom. I know you are tired so you should eat"

"Awe.. thanks"

She says as she took a spoonful of food I gave her.

"Okay... Let's taste it..."

As her mouth touches the food, it looks like her eyes glow and her hair went up. Her eyes looks like it is sparkling and her curly went up as if they are cheering on the food I just cook.

"Wow! This is really good! I didn't know you could cook!"

My mom says as she kept eating all the food I gave her which made me smile again.

My sister and my mom are talking on how delicious the food I cook for them both. It is making me happy to think that not only I could let them taste my cooking but also my other talents.

"I think I'm gonna cook next time if I have time"

"Yeah you should! All of this taste great!"

"Thanks"

She just kept complimenting the food i cooked and then as she finished, my mom go to her room and say she is gonna take a shower.

"Alright, I'll wash the dishes"

I was about to go to the dishes and put it in the sink but i felt a presence that touches my hand.

"No! I should be the one washing the dishes! You already cooked...."

She says and made me look at her. She has a white hair just like my dad, her eyes is also brown just like my mother.

I got the black hair from my mom but the eyes is from my dad. My sister got the hair of my dad but take the eyes from our mom.

"It's okay, I know you are tired because ofall the walking we did with Jin and Sally. You should rest"

"But what about you...."

She says with a worried looks in her eyes. even though i am the one worrying for her, she is also woreting about me. I think I should just keep insisting until she agreed to this.

"Like I said, I'm really okay. I'm not that tired though, I didn't moved around enough to make me tired so don't worry"

"What? But we walked for like hours straight. You and Jin didnt even rest... Are you two normal?"

She said which made me think about it. All the things about Jin that I've seen so far is inhumane. Like his speed and his senses.

'i know he is not normal but I guess he wanna take it as a secret so.... I think I shouldn't tell her about it's

I just decided not to tell my sister because Jin might get uncomfortable if I talked about it. He also said that If I managed to find a job, I need to make him know about it because he also wanna have a job.

'looks like he really cares a lot about his sister....'

I say those things because based on the things he had done so far for his sister even though ive only seen a little, you can agree with me that all the stregth she is hiding from is to protect her sister when a danger comes.

He doesn't even want a game or popularity because with those talent of his, he can become rich by becoming a boxer but he chose not to.

"Of course we are human y'know!"

I said to her and then smile which also made her smile to. She just went upstairs after that so i started to wash every single dishes in the sink and then put it into the place where it shoud supposed to be.

"I think I'm gonna go for a walk....."

I went upstairs and then knocked on my mom's door. And as I knocked, she open the door and then saw four other women in her bedroom.

'now that I think about it, I think I felt a presence when we're eating.... I think that's them....'

I said because i remember a presence of four people went upstairs but I think I they didn't bother us because they thought we were enjoying our dinner which is true.

"Oh hey Julian, what are you doing here? You need something?"

I heard my mom says to me which made all the other girls look at me.

"Ohh~~~"

I heard one of them says.
