As Lee Soohyun stepped into the dining room, she noticed that everyone was seated upon her places. Oh Jihoon, Hw.a.n.g Yejoon, Kim Junghyun, and Kim Dohyun was present, and there was a male seated beside Dohyun.

As the rest of them present here, he appeared to be attractive as well. His red hair which was styled backwards and the smile that sat upon his face— coupled with that glint in his eyes— made him seem childish and mischievous to Soohyun.

She thought the name to Seo Jaesung, and the sight of him made him seem to be bad news to Soohyun. He did not look to be someone with bad control over temper like Dohyun.

Nonetheless, looks could be deceiving, and as Minhyun had mentioned on how he was notorious, her eyes sharpened at him.

As if noticing how she was looking at him, the smile on Jaesung"s face widened as he said, "You are my sister-in-law, I a.s.sume."

Certain type of playfulness was there in his tone, and although Soohyun wanted to be careful around him, it did not mean that she did not find herself hating the man in front of her. 

Soohyun preferred those who were easy to get along with and be comfortable around. Even though the man could bring her lots of trouble, he did not appear to be someone that would be hard to have a conversation with. 

Then again, she did not know anything about you, and initial impressions are not trustworthy.

Pulling back the chair, Soohyun sat up on it, and raising her head to look towards Jaesung, she flashed him a wide smile— one equally bright as his.

"Seo Jaesung-ssi, Minhyun told me that you will be here earlier. It is pleasant meeting you," Soohyun vocalised.

"Indeed, Sister-in-law, indeed," Jaesung voiced out, and the glint that appeared in his eyes that instant was not missed by Soohyun. He was most definitely up to some mischief!

Looking back at the stack of pancakes, Soohyun found the smell to be extremely appetizing, and being ready to eat the pancakes, she picked up her fork.

Wearing a joyful expression, she cut a piece of the pancake and raised it up. She then brought it closer to her mouth and placed it inside her mouth.

As she did so, she realized that most had their eyes upon her, which left her wondering on what the reason behind this could be. Looking down upon her plate full of pancakes, Soohyun had guesses that there was something wrong with it.

As she chewed upon the pancake inside her mouth, her eyes widened slightly when she noticed what it was before they reduced back to their original size. 

Soohyun clearly had an idea on why their eyes were upon her; The pancake was too spicy. Nevertheless, she did not let that show up on her face.

After swallowing down the piece of pancake, she stared towards Seo Jaesung, whose eyes were on her, and flashed him a wide smile. 

It was most definitely him who was behind this, and by this, she understood why Minhyun said to be careful around him for he seemed to be a prankster.

Lee Soohyun had a love and hate relation towards the pranksters. She preferred them as long as she did not end up being their target, and watching others get pranked really gave her joy. Certainly it was a different matter when she ends up being the target.

"Seo Jaesung-ssi, the pancakes are really delicious; You should start eating them. I don"t think cold pancakes are that good," Soohyun stated.

If she did not have this much tolerance or love towards spiciness towards, she would not be able to bear through it without asking for water. One of the good characteristics she found within herself was that she is able to eat most of the things.

Her words made a chuckle leave Hw.a.n.g Yejoon"s face, and shaking his head slightly, Junghyun turned his head to stare at his meal.

Seo Jaesung nodded as a smile sat upon his face— probably brighter than the one she saw earlier— and she had an inkling that he had more planned for her.

Staring down at her pancakes, Soohyun decided to devour all of them. After all, how bad could they turn out to be with a couple of gla.s.ses of water? Moreover, she had a high tolerance when it came to spiciness.

Although she abandoned her pride at times, she did not enjoy that, and therefore, she began gobbling down all of the pancakes— her countenance indicating as if she found the entire thing delicious.

After finis.h.i.+ng almost two of the pancakes, Soohyun found her tongue being on fire, and she was desperate for water. Without that pain showing on her face, she forced a smile on her face while she extended her hand towards the gla.s.s of water.

Taking a couple of sips out of the gla.s.s of water, she acted normal and continued to eat her pancakes. Her eyes burned, and she held in her urge to let out the tears. 

It took great control out of her to not let the tears come out, and in her opinion, she was doing a fairly decent job in maintaining her facial expression.

"Just a few more bites and you will be done with it, Soohyun. The faster you eat it, the sooner it will be over."

"This is absolutely mouthwatering," Soohyun stated.

Her words caused for Hw.a.n.g Yejoon to let out a couple of chuckles, and he said, "If that is the case, then we have a few more pancakes for you."

Those words of Yejoon caused Soohyun"s eyes to widen. Nonetheless, she immediately reduced them back to their original size, and pulling on a composed expression, she looked towards Yejoon.

"As much as I would want to have it, I am afraid I have to reject. If I overeat, I will have a hard time training," Soohyun vocalised— pleased with herself for finding such an excuse.

"Sister-in-law, I am glad you liked the pancakes I made. Since you seem to fancy them so much, I will bring some over for you later on," Jaesung said.

"Yes, yes, surely do that," Soohyun replied for she did not find any valid reason to reject him.
