event starter for @darlingbakesâ
  fuyuko had been eyeing the pastry table from where she was standing, hands buried deep in dough, kneading it. she knew she was going to be sore from all the kneading she had done already, however the prospect of having delicious dumplings and making others happy with them was enough for her to endure it. while eungi had been busy with the fillings and whatever he was doing, fuyuko was preparing the wrappers and trying her best to seal up the little dumplings in any pretty fashion so that they would look good enough.Â
  her eyes always kept wandering back to sam, wondering how the little pastries strewn across her table would taste like and she knew she would have to head over there soon. it definitely was just the sweets, not her attractive neighbor, fuyuko kept telling herself to calm her nerves â her looks definitely had nothing to do with how good her pastries tasted, after all. as her eyes landed back on the pot of water, she saw a few dumplings floating around and she quickly got her hands out of the dough, grabbing a bowl and placing the dumplings into it.Â
  wiping her hands on the apron she had put on, she left white streeks of dough and flour on it, but with bowl in hand she quickly walked over to where sam had put up her little table. with a bright smile on her lips, fuyuko placed down her bowl of dumplings on the otherâs table, bowing her head a little. âhi, sam.â, she said, pushing the bowl towards the other. âi brought you some dumplings. iâm not sure if theyâre good thoughâŠâ, fuyuko admitted sheepishly, letting out a soft laugh. âah⊠i was hoping i could try some of your sweets?â
sam felt more than thankful that she was able to set up a pastry table at the event. it was a way to make a little extra money as well as hopefully pull in a few new customers. not that the shop wasnât doing well, but sam wanted to be more well known around the city and she hoped this would the perfect opportunity.
she had spent all week baking. making her finest treats, the ones that were the most popular, that samantha knew almost everyone loved. they were simple, yet decadent, and sometimes so beautiful that they were different to even want to eat. of course, sam hoped that wouldnât be case and still she put together the most beautiful table sheâd ever done, or so she thought. the event had only just started and over half of the homemade cookies were gone, sheâd wish she had made more, but maybe that would make people want to pay her a visit at the shop instead.
sam caught small glances of fuyuko out the corner of her eye here and there, giving a soft smile every chance that she could. it was nice seeing her during day time instead of their usual timing, late at night whenever sam had been awake all night long making things nonstop. eventually, fuyuko had made her way over to small and she squealed at the sight of the dumplings in her hands. âoh! i guess you could hear my tummy rumbling from over there?â she teased lightly. âmm, i have all of my bests here. cookies are almost gone, but thereâs plenty candies and cupcakes, oh! and i have entire cake here that i havenât had a chance to slice up yet.â
