{Baekhyun's P.O.V}

I was very excited about this competition we will have. I want to be with Jihye in this game.

I'll do everything to be with her.

I was going towards her room when I heard whispers. I was actually confused but when I peep in i was rather shocked.

Jihye was crying.

I automatically approached her and hugged her tightly. How I wish to take her pain away.

She hugged me back and sobbed.

"Are you okay jihye? Why are you crying? " I cupped her face and wiped her tears with my thumb.

"I-I just h-had a night-mare" She looked down.

I took her hands in mine and examined. No she didn't do anything.

"Jihye let me cheer you up."

"H-huh? " She looks up at me. Oh so adorable!

"We are going to do a cooking competition. We all will participate. And I want you too. So? "

"Cooking competition? " Her eyes sparked.

"Yes" "Omg I'm in"

And so it was planed. Our managers kind off found it childish but agreed. We all were very excited and nervous coz we boys don't know if the girls are good with cooking or not. And who is better and stuff.

"So I'll divide you people in group 5 groups with 3 people each. You have to make 3 dishes and seperate time will be given for shopping n cooking. " The 1st manager said.

"So now Xiumin, Sojun and Suho you are the 1st group.
Hansoo, Daexing and Chanyeol you are the 2nd group.
Jihye, Sehun and Baekhyun you are the 3rd group.
Chen, Sohyun and Lay you are the 4th group and
D.O, Kai and Kiki you are the last 5th group" 2nd manager announced.

"So time limit is for shopping 32 minutes and for cooking it's and hour. If you do shopping fast then you will get extra time. And the one loses will pay for the winners shopping. So after 10 minutes we will start. Think fast. Now" The 3rd manager announced.

I can't believe I was with Jihye. But what if she doesn't knows to cook?

I saw jihye grabbing a paper and a pen fast and writing down something.

Sehun was talking with her so I too went to join.

"Oppa you both need to buy this only items. I've 3 recipes." She spoke.

"But I can hardly cook and Baekhyun hyung is far away from that" Sehun said.

"Don't worry I'll guide both of you. Just follow me and fast" She was done writing.

She handed me the sheet of paper and seems like it's the incidents list.

It's so many.

"What we will cook Jihye? " I asked.

"First is " Dried shredded pallock seasoned with gochujang " Which will be done by byun oppa. Then Gimbap which will be done by Sehun oppa and my special dish "Dakgangjeong (sweet crispy chicken) " Which I'll make. Don't worry I'll help both of you" She said.

"Boys your time starts now" Our manager yelled.

"Let's go sehun-ah" I grabbed my car keys and dashed out.

(Skip I'm lazy af)

We were the first to reach home. Our hands were full. We went to the backward and saw everything was settled. With tables and all the utensils needed.

"You both are real fast. We can do it nicely. " Jihye said and digged in the polythene bags taking the items out.

She soon set the pan making the gochujang paste.

As the paste was getting ready me and sehun got ready with the other things.

"Sunbae can you please help me? " Jihye asked me and I was eager to help her. I took the pan and helped making her the sauce.

"Okay Baekhyun sunbae you take dried shredded pollocks in a package and roll the roller upon them. Mince them a bit" Jihye instructed me and I was fast in action.

I was soon done with whatever she said me too do.

"Now sunbae mix the combine garlic, this gochujang paste (gives in the bowl) rice syrup, sesame oil and vegetable oil. Mix it well till it becomes red. Just check the pieces of fishbones okay" She said n I nodded. I started my work.

"Omo sunbae it's great. It's done. You can decorate it well and present it. " She beamed and I smiled.

It's actually not easy. Yet I made something eatable this time. I'm happy.

((His dish))

"Jihye ah help me now" Sehun whined.

The rice and the omelette was already ready by Jihye when she was Instructing me.

"Oppa take the ge-massal (artificial crap sticks) danmyji (yellow pickled radish sticks) and the green onions sticks. First" Jihye said and sehun followed.

I took care of the rice. I even tasted it a bit. I'm hungry tbh.

"Now oppa slice the omelette in long fat pieces" Jihye said and sehun did it nicely

While jihye is busy with the ge-massal in the frying pan with a table spoon of vegetable oil in it.

And I took care of green onions spreading them.

"Now take the rice, the omelette pieces, spread some vegetable oil and give pieces of cucumber. Now give the sticks, all three. Now take 4 sheet of toasted gim (seaweed paper) sprinkle sone salt, give sesame oil and 1 teaspoon of toasted black sesame seeds" Jihye said and we both along with Jihye were doing it.

"Now roll it"

Woah this is amazing! I never had fun cooking.

"Now cut in pieces and Gimbap is ready people" Jihye cheered.

"Woah jihye that was fun" Sehun beamed.

"Yes, I never enjoyed cooking and I did it so perfectly " I was happy too.

"What are you going to do with the chicken soaked in milk." Sehun asked.

"Just get ready to help me okay" Jihye said and we nodded.

She then took the soaked chicken in the milk to a bowl.

"Give a teaspoon of salt pinch paper then teaspoon of minced garlic and sone milk. 1/3 potato starch and mix it" She said and sehun did it accurately.

Soon she took the mixed once in the deep hot oil. She is going to deep fry it.

Wow the aroma is amazing.!!

"It's looking delicious. " Sehun licked his lips and jihye giggles.

"Noo jihye. You made this. Our group is seriously domed now" Sojun came said and went.

"This is one of her best dishes. And Hansoo is real good in desserts. When this too people cooks back in our house other usually thinks we are having a party with delicious food. Even uncles loves this dish of hers a lot" Daexing came from nowhere.

"Ji pls let me taste a bit. It really looks delicious" Sehun pouts.

She took the chopstick and feed one chicken pieces to him.

He moaned in delight when the taste blast in his mouth.

"Here"

I was shocked when Jihye was offering me to eat. I gladly opened my mouth and eat it.

It was really something. It was the best thing I ate so far.

"My goodness, it's really looks delicious. Pls feed me too" Chen said and opened his mouth sheepishly.

She happily feed him too.

"Damn it's so delicious" Chen moaned in delight too.

The time was already over. All the mangers where tasting everyones food.

"So I'll announce the winner. It's two groups. 2nd and 3rd are the winners and unfortunately the 1st group loses. Not that your items are bad but compared to the others it wasn't good. " The 1st manager said.

"So now let's dig in the foods. I'm really hungry" Sehun kind off yelled and everyone agreed.

"Great job YeonMi" I wishpered to Jihye.

She was shocked but blushed.

"T-Thank u" She blushed again.

((After sometime))

Our dinner was awesome. We ate so many things. Woah! It was almost night time. And everyone was already inside their bedrooms.

I am getting bored so I decided to get out in the backward and roam a little.

Soon I was under the bright moonlight. It was beautiful up in the sky.

I wonder how would our fans react when power will be released. I hope the like it a lot.

I was just wondering when I saw jihye under a tree looking up in the sky.

"Hey " I called her.

She waved at me and I went closer to her. Sat beside her.

"How are you feeling? "

"Just a bit full after all the eatings" I said.

"S-So um... You know the truth r-ryt? " She looked up to me.

"Hm yeah ik. It's fine you can call ne Eun if you want" I smiled.

"Can I call you, your highness... I mean w-when we are alone? "

"But... Jihye why? "

"I just feel like I'm back to my original. Back then I was so strong and now I'm so weak"
...

"Now I'm lot more strong then my past maybe because to protect you" She blushed.

I cupped her face. I need to take a step forward.
.
.

"I might have met you in just few days and I don't even know you nicely but I really want to help you and stay forever with you"

"Y-youe mmh--.

I cut her off sealing our lips.

I kissed her lips so tenderly, enduring the moment.

Her hands were on my chest.

I slowly pulled away and looked at her.

" YounMi, your Eun is here, always for you. I love you YeonMi " I said and kissed her lips again.

"Eun.... *sobs* m-me t-too.... "

I hugged her tightly and she hugged me back...

"Let's sleep together tonight love" I kissed her forehead.

She nodded and kissed my cheek with a sweet smile lingering on her face.

This night is going to be long.
