Sizzling sound, the smell of something burning, An Chae of memories was holding a frying pan over the stove, I and the An Chaeyoung stood near the sofa,
Chae, the one who was holding the frying pan was choking in the smoke, coughing. She opened the door to the balcony to let the smoke out, She turned off the stove.
"Why is it not working?" she muttered
She looked up and down the gas stove, checking if something was wrong with it.
The room smelled of rotten egg, It's the gas leaking, she had not turned off the valve,
Throwing the frying pan with the burned meat in the garbage can, she opens the cupboard to find other things.
The doorbell rings, she ran to the intercom to check who it was at the door, wiping her hands on the apron, then removing and throwing it away into the kitchen, before tidying up the clothes she was wearing, she pressed the button on the intercom, the screen turned on, it was An Chaeyoung's mom.
Holding bags in each of her hands she was standing in front of the door, Asking An Chae to open the door.
An Chae ran to the door, opening it as fast as possible.
Her mom immediately noticed the smell
"What is this smell?"
As she entered, she immediately knew what this smell was, she hurriedly placed the bags on the dinner table before closing the gas valve.
"Why is not the gas alarm working?"
She looked at it. Before leaving it frustrated.
She turned towards An Chaeyoung
"Have you lost your sense?"
"You clumsy girl"
"Look how thin you have gotten"
"Are you not eating well lately?"
"I told you to eat well, look how you have gotten since you started living alone"
She sat on the sofa resting.
"You seem different, is something going on with you?"
"Is everything alright with you?"
She took her hand,
"Sit here"
She sat An Chaeyoung next to her,
"Is it a guy?"
She said, before breaking out in laugher
An Chaeyoung broke into tears, her mom took Chae in her arms comforting her, running her hands through her head, as Chae cried.
Nodding her head,
"Yes, it's a guy," she said before her mum wiped her eyes...
An Chaeyoung rested her head on her mother's lap, as her mother ran her hand on An Chaeyoung's head, soon she fell asleep.
"What's this smell?"
She opened her eyes. She was laying on the sofa.
She had fallen asleep, sound from the kitchen, she got up and tiptoed to take a look
It was her mom doing the dishes, looking at Chae,
"OH! Oh you are awake"
"Go hurry to wash your face"
Gesturing her to go wash her face
She went to wash her face, when she came back, her mum
"Hurry sit here, have this"
There was already food set up on the dinner table, ready for her.
Her mum just took off the lids covering the dishes, An Chaeyoung with a wide smile on her face immediately grabbed the chopsticks and started eating.
Her mum sat across her at the table, both ate in silence.
After they were finished, both of them cleaned up together.
Before her mum left at the end of the day, she told her to "Be well"
