1. For lunch, I decided to prepare bibimbap, a dish that holds a special place in my heart.
1. It was my mother's recipe, one that she often cooked with love.
2. Each ingredient,
1. Each step, filled me with a bittersweet mix of memories from my childhood.
1. After enjoying the comforting meal, sera and I tackled the dishes together.
1. Having a free afternoon with no classes, we settled comfortably on the couch, all set to enjoy some movies.
1. "Jimin, your bibimbap was amazing! You've really outdone yourself this time."
1. "You think so? I just tossed everything together."
1. "No way, it's delicious! You should cook more often, seriously."
1. "Heh, maybe I will. Seeing you so full is pretty entertaining."
2. "I'm so full, I can't even move."
1. "Well, that's a victory. Didn't think my cooking could do that."
2. "You're absolutely incredible, jimin."
1. Spending time with sera always made me happy, I felt good around her.
1. Yet, we hadn't spoken about that intimate night we shared. I wondered if we ever would.
1. I noticed she had seen the hickey she gave me that I
1. The hickey she gave me that I didn't bother to hide.
1. I wasn't even sure if that night counted as a "Night". I didn't even see her naked, and I was mainly focused on my own pleasure.
1. Ah, how embarrassing, I was completely clueless.
1. "Jimin, you seem a bit distant. What's on your mind?"
1. "Oh, nothing much. Just some old memories.."
2. "!"
1. "I was wondering, how's your foot doing?"
1. I didn't understand what she was referring to.
1. "Your foot, you hurt it, remember? When we first met."
1. Oh...my foot. How many weeks had passed? I had completely forgotten about it.
1. "Can I see?"
1. "Sure, let me take my socks off."
1. "See, there's just a small scar left."
1. "Are your feet ticklish?"
1. "No."
1. Then she tenderly started running her fingers down the sole of my foot.
1. She found where the beer bottle cap had cut me.
1. She made slow, soft circles around it and then over it.
1. The movement was hypnotic.
1. "Do you still feel any pain?"
1. "No, sometimes the scar is annoying, but I've pretty much gotten used to it."
1. I didn't tell her how I got the wound.
1. I didn’t feel like explaining that I hurt it while leaving doyun’s bed.
2. I’m sure she knows exactly what I was doing coming out of that bedroom that morning anyway.
1. "Can I give you a foot massage?"
1. "A... A foot massage?"
1. "Yeah. I've heard it can be really soothing."
1. "...and since you mentioned the scar can be bothersome, I thought it might help."
1. I felt a bit stunned at sera's offer. It was unexpected yet curiously comforting.
2. "Alright then. Thanks, sera."
1. As sera's hands began their work, my thoughts started to wander.
1. I had no idea a foot massage could make me feel like this.
1. Her hands were warm, her touch confident yet tender.
1. She looked so focused, so attractive...
1. I couldn't help but imagine what else those hands could do...
1. ...like what they did to my body last night...
1. I felt a chill as I thought about them touching not just my foot...
