❄ Boarder's Kitchen

/enters quietly/
anyone here?

@Oh Hayoung oh yea, I hope so too. but I might end up falling asleep, I don't really have much to do today anyways
but yea, I'll see you later /waves back to you as you leave, laughing at that last comment.
there's no danger of that because I have no work today!
/calls out after you and grins happily to myself, nodding slowly after a moment as I think.
so I still get to sleep anyways. awesome /says mostly to myself since you've already left, washing my mug and putting it away before heading out to go back to my room.

@Lee Taeil /glances at you before finishing up cleaning the dishes
I just hope you won't feel sleepy after drinking warm chocolate
/chortles weakly as I wipe my hands with the drying towel
Anyway, see you later Taeil-ah, don't sleep during work okay?
/passes by you as I walk out of the kitchen, pinching your cheeks
/chuckles while waving my hands and finally turns to leave

@Oh Hayoung I meant it in the best way possible, hayoung. don't worry
/reaches to pat your arm lightly with a small laugh.
and thank you for the drink, I enjoyed it very much too
/smiles warmly and finishes up the hot chocolate with a contented sigh, turning around on my stool as you get up to go to the sink.

@Lee Taeil /chortles to myself when you said about me being strange
How did I become strange? It's me, what can I do? /mumbles
And thanks for the time Taeil-ah, I enjoyed the cup of chocolate
even more because of you~ /hops off the counter and places the
empty cup in the sink, washing my hands after tying my hair

@Oh Hayoung /steals a quick glance at you as your eyes are closed, a small smile playing across my lips, and chuckles when you say that.
you really are a strange one, hayoung-ssi /grins a bit cheekily and shakes my head, blinking and looking up at the clock on the wall.
oh right, you have school. go ahead, don't let me hold you up
/shoos you off playfully and nods, flashing you a bright smile.

@Lee Taeil /holds unto my cup with both hands and takes a long sip on it
Ahhhh~ /squeezes my eyes when I get a taste of the hot stuff, smiling after
But seriously, I might feel sleepy when I shower with cold water, that's why I usually
shower with warm water in the morning~ and cold in the evening~
/looks at you, staring for a while until I realized it; turns to my watch instead
Taeil-ah, I think I need to get ready for school now. Is it okay if I skedaddle to change now?
/points my thumb to my back, gesticulating for me to go and leave

@Oh Hayoung mhmm.. okay then, if you say so
/hums softly to myself, grinning, and takes another sip of my hot chocolate, closing my eyes momentarily.
I don't know why you have that feeling, because I definitely won't... maybe
/flashes you a sweet smile as I open my eyes and look over at you with a small nod.
hibernating sounds fun... imagine if humans did it too /mumbles to myself absentmindedly and chuckles, slightly amused, gently swirling the cup and watching the contents spin round and round.

@Lee Taeil Nothing, I'm just smiling to myself, can't I do that?
/shakes head gradually as I look at you with innocent eyes, chuckling softly with you
Why do I have this feeling that you're really going to do it, huh? But to answer your question,
I would definitely get sulky of you!
/nods head firmly with my eyes closed before reaching out to gently pinch your nose
And I will surely hibernate if I shower with cold water~

@Oh Hayoung yah, yah, what's with that look on your face, hm?
/pokes at your leg lightly with my face scrunched up, chuckling under my breath.
I never said I would do it to you, I'm just wondering if you that would actually happen
/holds my hands up defensively and nods firmly, a mischievous smile taking over my features after a moment.
but really though, what would happen? and would you get mad if I ever did do it?
/sticks my tongue out slightly and tilts my head, laughing a bit as well.

@Lee Taeil /smirks softly as I listen to you, staring at you as well; speaks to myself after
Hmm, so it is your first love~ /looks down with a smile before turning to you again
Pfft, and why would somebody do that anyway? That's bullying! You can't do that to me~ /burst out laughing anyway, shaking my head a bit

@Oh Hayoung that's actually not the first thing that comes to mind, but yea, it does kinda have to do with that /shrugs slightly.
I mean personally, my first love was my piano, but whatever. that's probably not what you meant
/laughs softly to myself and nods once as I glance up at you, carefully placing my mug down as I give you a weird look.
yea, that is strange. so if somebody were to, say, dump a bucketful of really cold water on you, you'd start to feel sleepy?
/manages to hold back a smile as I raise an eyebrow, staring up at you curiously.

@Lee Taeil You know what, usually, when somebody says that statement, it always ends up talking about first loves~
/wags index finger twice with a sure smile, nodding head a few times too
And hot stuffs keeps me awake in the morning, and the cold ones, makes me sleepy~ it might be weird but it's the truth~
/lifts up my mug as I take a careful sip on it, blowing it even before drinking

@Oh Hayoung /stares at you silently for a minute, my lips pursed, before letting out a small laugh and shaking my head.
okay okay, you got me there. I hate being called oppa. it reminds me of... stuff i'd rather not remember
/scrunched up my nose slightly and shakes my head again to clear my mind, picking up the mug and blowing on it a bit before taking a sip.
how this helps you to wake up, I have no idea. I can actually feel myself getting sleepier
/says with a small hum of contentment as I stare down at the drink, lost in thought.

@Lee Taeil /chortles to myself as I wrap my palms around the mug
You know what Taeil 'oppa', your words say one thing, but your
face says another~ /sticks tongue out playfully towards you
Actually I changed my mind, I'll just call you Taeil since I've
become comfortable with that already~ /puts down my mug for a moment
/lifts body a bit to sit on the counter table, getting my cup after

@Oh Hayoung your words say one thing, but your face says another, little missy
/pretends to glare at you a bit suspiciously and grins, trying to steady myself after i stop spinning.
trying new things is fun. especially if it had to do with chocolate
/hums softly to myself as i watch you make the hot chocolate, trying to cover up a small wince when you call me oppa.
yea sure, it's okay. really. i don't mind... not at all
/tries to keep my expression blank as i nod slowly, the corner of my eye twitching slightly as i take the mug.

@Lee Taeil Eyyyy, but I'm sure that it's not sarcastic, I swear!
/giggles gleefully after emphasizing the word 'not'
Well, you're trying a new thing now! You're going to
drink hot chocolate in the morning for this morning~
/pours hot water in the glasses after putting in the cocoa
Aigoo, really? Is it really okay? Taeil...oppa? Have some hot chocolate Taeil...oppa~
/moves my eyebrows teasingly before placing the mug in front of you

@Oh Hayoung i don't know, i've heard it said in a sarcastic way before
/shrugs slightly and chuckles, spinning around in the stool absentmindedly.
that's very interesting. i usually just drink coffee. lots of coffee
/laughs and stop spinning long enough to look at you, an eyebrow raised at your smirk.
you can call me that if you want, i don't really mind /waves it off dismissively, grinning.

@Lee Taeil What do you think? Of course it's in a good way!
/turns around for a moment; sticks tongue out playfully
And to answer your question, yes. I love drinking hot
chocolate in the morning~
/looks at you with narrowed eyes; smirking a bit
Ohhhh really? But I want to call you 'oppa' though~

@Oh Hayoung do you mean that in a good way or in a bad way...?
/sits up and looks at you with slightly narrowed eyes, trying not to smile.
hot chocolate helps you wake up? it does the opposite for me
but yes to that, because i love hot chocolate
/nods and grins happily to myself at the mention of the drink. turning around on my stool to watch you.
ah, you can call me taeil if you want, i'm not really used to people calling me oppa /wrinkles up my nose slightly.

@Lee Taeil Yeahh you're a smarty pants though~
/chuckles again, shaking head a bit towards you
Probably because of that! Hahaha and I know, don't worry,
maybe I should drink some hot chocolate to wake myself up
/stands up from my seat to approach the beverage area
Would you like some hot chocolate, Taeil-ah...I mean oppa?
/turns to you for a quick moment then reaches out for the containers

@Oh Hayoung mhmm, it does make sense to me. probably because i made it up
/nods seriously to myself with a bright smile, my head tilted slightly.
i don't know. maybe you didn't get enough sleep last night?
but i promise i didn't drug you or anything
/puffs out my cheeks a bit as you pinch them, laughing softly.

@Lee Taeil Eyyyy a young juhmma? Does that even make a word? /pouts a bit
/sighs softly after nodding at your last statement, obviously feeling sleepy
Ahhh why did I suddenly feel sleepy? Your ramyun made me sleepy!
/chuckles as I reach to gently pinch your cheeks

@Oh Hayoung a young ahjumma. a young-juhmma. it works with your name too, hah
/says mostly to myself and laughs as i scratch at my ear absentmindedly.
i don't know. i'm not really sure. just forget i said that, okay
/shrugs it off dismissively, watching you as you yawn and trying to hold one back myself after a moment.

@Lee Taeil Pfft I'd like to lie but I think I'm an ahjumma too!
/laughs to myself as I shove my hands in my jacket pockets
Aigooo and what point are you trying to prove?
/covers my mouth when I suddenly felt like yawning; yawns eventually

@Oh Hayoung only if you're agreeing that it worked on you
/laughs and sticks my tongue out at you, playfully wiggling my eyebrows.
nope, i didn't want anything. just trying to prove a point, i guess
/shrugs after a few seconds of thought and chuckles, smiling a bit to myself.

@Lee Taeil Like what you're doing right now? Does that mean I'm an ahjumma too?
/points at myself using my index finger; blinks a few times while looking at you
And did you want something a while ago? Why did you suddnely acted all charming?

@Oh Hayoung hmmm. yea, i figured /chuckles lightly.
i only act like that when i want to get something, to be honest
and it only works with old ahjummas for some reason /wiggles my nose a bit, amused.
i know. it's all part of my never-ending charm
/winks playfully and laughs, making a weirded-out face to myself after a moment and shaking my head.

@Lee Taeil /raises shoulders while puffing out my lower lip
Hmm, not really 16, but I guess 20 would be enough~
/chuckles along and then drops my head on the table, facing you too
But you don't look like 25 when you act childish! I swear! It's too cute~
/raises my left hand as if promising; giggles even more

@Oh Hayoung bingo. i'm 25
/grins and drums lightly on the tabletop, laying my hands flat after a minute and looking over at you.
but were you being serious earlier when you said i looked 16? that's like ten whole years!
almost /laughs and rests my chin on my arms, turning my head to face you.
