Panting heavily you ran down the hallway in hope to quickly find the right room for your cooking class. Usually you were a very punctual person but it seemed that luck wasn't on your side today. Even worse this was your first time visiting this class so that would be a bad first impression. Glancing once more at the small paper in your hand that told you the directions, you sighed relieved as you could spot the door leading to the cooking class. Only a few more meters separated you from your goal.

Enthusiastically and a little less stressed you approached the door, that had already been closed, before knocking politely. After hearing a voice allowing you to enter you swiftly made your way into the room. All eyes were instantly glued to you but you tried to dismiss them as you apologized for your tardiness. Luckily your teacher was kind enough to let you off and told you to take a seat. As you scanned the area you noticed that everyone had already gathered in teams of two except for one other student.

Quickly you approached the seat before sitting down as quiet as possible since the teacher had resumed talking again. Your reason for joining this course was that you needed to attain at least some cooking skills because you started living on your own recently. Yet as you glanced at the boy next to you the trembling of your heart told you that another reason could be added to the list.

"Hey I'm Y/N. Let's cook well together." you whispered while admiring his features like those big and round eyes or the heart-shaped lips. A little surprised the boy turned to face you and just stared at you for a while. "Oh did I say something wrong or is there something on my face?" with wonder in your voice you started patting your face. As you couldn't find anything you turned your attention back to the boy next to you who chuckled softly while shaking his head.

"No, everything is alright I was just surprised you suddenly talked to me. Oh and my name's Kyungsoo. So let's cook well together." He replied shortly after his expression softening as he seemed to relax a bit around you.

Soon the teacher gave the last instructions before you were able to start creating your own meal. Since today was the first lesson you were going to start of simple by making some rice, grilled vegetables, chicken and your own sauce to go along with it. Quickly Kyungsoo and you divided the work before starting your preparations.

First you started out by washing and cutting the vegetables you would need. Unfortunately you had a bit of a clumsy way of doing so, catching Kyungsoo's attention who had just worked on the rice. "You shouldn't hold the knife too tightly and curl the fingers that hold the vegetable a bit more so you won't get hurt." He instructed with a soft and calm manner that made his words that sounded a little harsh more seem more caring and helpful.

Listening and trying to follow his suggestions you actually managed to do slightly better job than before. Still the dark hair boy chuckled as he saw your finished slices. Pouting you threw the veggies into the already heated pan to cook them. "As long as it tastes good it doesn't matter if it looks bad now." you mumbled sending a playful glare towards Kyungsoo.

"You're not wrong there." He replied his lips curling up into a soft smile while he was elegantly cutting the raw chicken. For a moment you couldn't take your eyes away. Never before in your life did you see someone look so beautiful and content while cooking. Though a bitter thought spread across your mind. There was probably a girl he wanted to impress with his cooking skills and that wasn't you.

Sighing you pulled yourself from your little daydream trying to concentrate on the pan on front of you so the food wouldn't get burnt.

Soon enough the vegetables were done and you put a lid on the pan before putting it away. Kyungsoo had already started roasting the chicken so you decided you'd try to make a sauce. "Uhm ok how should we do this?" you mumbled to yourself as you thought about what would fit this meal best. In the end a sweet yet slightly spicy sauce sounded the best and easiest to prepare to you.

Grabbing all the necessary ingredients you started to mix them up carefully, like you were making a extremely dangerous experiment. All your attention was directed at the task before you so you failed to notice Kyungsoo's eyes being glued to you. Since the moment you sat next to him he could feel his heart racing and his mind swirling. Everything about you was so cute to him. The way you tried so hard to make everything perfect yet messed it up in the end, or the way you bit your lip while concentrating, or the way your laugh sounded like the sweetest tune. He kept staring for so long one of the chicken pieces almost got burnt.

A while later the teacher asked everyone to wrap up and finish their meals. Luckily the two of you had managed to prepare everything pretty decently. At least it looked that way, yet you still had to try it. Looking a little unsure about the outcome you grabbed some of the food before tasting it. To your surprise it turned out well...no wait. What was that? Seems like your sauce had a bit too much spice in it.

Coughing lightly you tried to play it off while glancing at Kyungsoo to see his reaction. Nothing out of the unusual though. Actually he seemed to enjoy it. Relieved you finished your food just with a little less sauce. The teacher walked through the room trying everyone's meal and giving advice before soon ending the class.

"Y/N?" Kyungsoo softly uttered your name catching your attention. You hummed in reply as you busied yourself with washing the dishes. "Could you shortly wait here for me?" He added before leaving the room and a stunned you in it.

You weren't sure why he requested you to stay but you complied. There was this tiny bit of hope lit inside you that wanted you to believe he might like you. Surely you weren't too bad so why couldn't he be at least a little bit interested. Even if he wasn't right now you still had enough lessons coming up to change that fact.

While you were daydreaming once more Kyungsoo approached you before tapping your shoulder as you wouldn't react. A little startled you turned to face him, locking eyes with his bright round ones. He fidgeted around a little, biting his lip.

"There was something I wanted to tell you. So uhm...i-if I'm vinegar, then you must be baking soda. Because you make me feel all bubbly inside." He stuttered nervously but still managed to top it off with a wink and a crooked smirk. Blinking several times you progressed his words. Did he just really use some silly pick up line on you? Does that mean he likes you and you have a chance?

Smiling widely you shook your head while speaking up. "Wow...that was really bad." You couldn't help but laugh seeing a soft pinkish color settled on his cheeks. Then he heard him mumble something about never trusting some Chanyeol again.

"Well what I was trying to ask is...would you like to go out with me sometimes?" Kyungsoo explained regaining his composure. Happily you nodded as you agreed to meet him again. Even though that embarrassing try earlier confused you a little it also showed you his cute and sweet side so you were glad. So in the end you did get more than just a few cooking lessons. What started out to be stressful turned to a wonderful day.
