Chapter 13: A Little FunSuggested song/music: Temptation of Sonata - Ivy (Kim Heechul tribute)

“A touch of wasabi, and curry, and everything spicy~” Li Yin sang softly as she stirred the ingredients into her soup. She has ransacked and overturned the whole kitchen for everything that might possibly make a dish burning hot. Her only aim is to make Kim Junsu regret ever letting her cook when she’s in a bad mood. Grinning as she chopped up the chilies, she poured them into her boiling mixture over the stove. The ‘soup’ is now a dangerous red colour, with a strong distinct smell of irresistible hotness to open up Junsu’s taste buds.
“First your mother upped and left, now you’re following in her footsteps?” the flirty Director from yesterday was gone. Yunho’s defense system immediately activated itself and stood on standby mood, ready to attack whenever needed. He had gotten out of the car with xiaoxi, and is now sandwiched between a human wall and the swimming pool. “If you haven’t been fooling around outside, Mom would never leave!” xiaoxi snapped.
“So you’re saying it’s my fault she couldn’t serve me well in bed?” he chuckled. “I can only tell you that you’re not going anywhere.” his laughs died down as he signaled his man to capture his runaway daughter. Yunho’s fast and accurate punches threw a few of the man flying into the swimming pool. “Don’t touch her.” he demanded coolly. The Director’s face grew distorted with anger. Soon enough, a furious exchange broke out…
While Yunho tackled a group of guards, xiaoxi was left to fend for herself. She didn’t have to do much actually, for the ‘jinx power’ decided to wake up from its slumber at that very minute. A guard who tried to spring a surprise attack got bitten by a dog which appeared from behind the bushes. One of the guards got into a struggle with a snake. Another had to fight off a screeching cat with vicious nails. The Director stood baffled as he watched the unfolding fight. He definitely don’t recall being the owner of any pets. In fact, he hated these animals. An abrupt push from the back sent him falling into a puddle of mud. Distressed enough, he passed out upon the sight of the gorilla…
Junsu spat out the contents in his mouth the second he downed it. The soup splattered all over the dining table, obviously dirtying the white surface. “Zhang Li Yin,” he said through gritted teeth, regretted having believed in her nonsense of the soup bearing this dark red colour because of the fever-fighting herbs she has added into it. “Sure cure for fevers and colds? The remedy passed down your family for generations eh?” Junsu wiped his mouth with the napkin. “I say, do you wish to suffer from sore throat?” he grabbed his bowl of remaining soup and advanced upon the girl who was laughing too hard to notice him.
Struggling to push the bowl away from her face, Li Yin attempted to kick Junsu. “Aren’t you supposed to be sick? Where did all your strength come from?!” Li Yin stuttered.
“Anger, and a strong desire for revenge.” Junsu said matter-of-factly. He tried to force open Li Yin’s tightly clamped mouth with both his hands. Li Yin’s kick came through this time, kicking Junsu in someplace she shouldn’t if Junsu still wants to have children in the future. With a loud cry, Junsu dropped the bowl of soup and bent over with his hands tightly over his area-in-pain. Li Yin’s hands flew to her face, covering it as she trembled slightly. “I’m so sorry! I really didn’t mean to kick you there!” Li Yin peeked through her fingers and quickly shut her eyes tightly again. “I’m so sorry!”
His face still pale from Li Yin’s assault, Junsu wore a naughty smile on his face. “You shall stay over for the night. I’ve a guestroom back there. Tomorrow morning, you shall make me breakfast - a decent breakfast. This is for giving me that soup from hell, and for kicking me.” having said that, Junsu winced as he stood up and limped slightly back to his room. “One more thing. You’re not allowed to tell anyone what you’ve seen in my house.” Junsu disappeared into his room again. Li Yin pursed her lips and stamped her feet. How was it her fault? She was just protecting herself from that dangerous soup!
Breathing heavily, xiaoxi gripped tightly on the seatbelt as Yunho sped towards the nearby park. “Slow down! They aren’t even after us anymore, so why are you still going so fast?!” xiaoxi shouted over the blasting stereos.
“Because your expression is so funny!” Yunho hollered back.
“What did you say?! Turn off that music! And stop the car at once!”
“I can switch off the music, only if you sing instead.”
Instantly, the heavy metal was gone and silence took over. The car also slowed to a normal speed. With a expectant face, Yunho turned to glance at xiaoxi briefly before he turned back to the road. Sighing, xiaoxi admitted herself to fate as she opened her mouth to sing…
“Here, a cup of hot coffee should calm you down.” Yunho positioned a cup before xiaoxi. She shook her head slightly and scrunched her nose at the aroma of the coffee. “I don’t drink coffee.” she pushed his hand away slightly. Frowning, Yunho sat down beside her on the bench. Had he known she doesn’t take coffee, he wouldn’t have went to the trouble to get the drink in his hands, for he doesn’t drink coffee too. “What about…” Yunho started.
“Milk!” the both of them exclaimed at the same time. Stunned at the chemistry, they exchanged confused looks and stayed immobilized for a few seconds. Xiaoxi recovered from the shock first, turning to face the front while pretending to tidy her hair. Yunho turned the other way and rubbed his face. “Wait here. I’ll go get us some milk.” before she could protest, he was already running from the park. Shaking her head, she smiled at the cup of coffee left sitting beside her. Reaching towards the warmth, she felt warm and fuzzy inside. The feeling of being cared for.
