certain that he was going to have much, much fun editing this video, sunwoo decides that even if the cake doesnโt turn out perfect then at least the effort was there. and ultimately, he could always blame lia, too. she was the better baker out of the two. he shoots her a gentle, playful scowl before smiling, letting the younger brush the loose flour out of his hair. thatโs when he decides to shake his head, letting the flour bounce out of his hair and drop onto her.ย โyou know, you can just borrow an old tshirt of mine if you donโt want to get it on your jacket. or i could actually give you a new merch shirt. you can promote it while you head home.โ the laughter is light, happy as he spins slowly in his desk chair. if he were to spin quicker, he knows that the cake in his stomach would probably pop back up.ย โmostly everyone, yeah. thereโs good days and bad days, i try to stay away during the bad days unless it gets a bit too much. iโm trying to get the ahjummas onto my good side, so itโs easier to win them back over if things get too hectic again. i think opposite is starting to like me more than anticipated.โย
lia enjoyed the freedom she acquired once she had the chance to get out of the hospital. while her adoptive father personally oversaw her health progress, she was still left under the care of her personal nanny. for as long as she could remember, she saw her nanny more than she saw her adoptive mother. it was safe to say that lia craved affection as much as she gave it. the nannies often joked that lia had a penchant for collecting friends the way her parents collect children. and looking back, young lia was indeed too thrilled at the prospect of living in a community with a lot of children. ones that could actually play with her and not just sit with her as they waited for their treatments to be finished.
sunwoo was one of the kids that lia managed to befriend when she was young. he was not that much older than her, yet she felt as if he was wiser beyond his years. he treated lia like she was his own sister and in turn she shamelessly called him, โmy sunwoo oppa.โ even when they were young, lia always knew that sunwoo would become successful. with the way he took care of his younger siblings to the passion he puts in every video, it was basically a given. she couldnโt help this sense of pride that fills her heart whenever he reached a milestone in his career.ย
so when sunwoo gave her the idea of baking for a video and enlisted her help, lia didnโt hesitate to agree. he could have asked her to do the silliest of videos with him yet she would still yes. it was a great way to spend time with him and she would always do her absolute best to help her oppa. she just didnโt know that they would forget to put baking soda and baking powder on the second cake which led to an absolute disaster. in liaโs defense, she was too distracted by sunwoo to notice the missing ingredients.
โoppa!โ lia exclaimed as flour flew around from sunwoo shaking his head like a puppy. majority of the flour now settled on her lap and the girl had the sudden urge to retaliate in the only way she knew how. she poked him in the places where she knew he was ticklish, โlook at the mess you made, oh sunwoo!โ lia glared playfully as she grabbed a tissue to somewhat clean up the mess. โalthough no one loves free stuff more than rich people, iโd just borrow an old shirt if thatโs okay,โ she grinned at him. โiโd rather buy the shirt and support one of my favorite youtubers yโknow.โ the amount of merch she had of sunwoo was a bit astounding really. it was one of the few ways lia could show her support and she proudly wears those tshirts around especially during her classes.ย
โthatโs a good thing to hear. i was a bit worried when you told me you were moving here. living with a lot of people can be quite taxing,โ she smiled at her childhood friend as she plopped on the floor. the exhaustion finally seeping through her. with her tummy full of cake, lia was on her merry way to a food coma. โgreat strategy right there, oppa. get all the ahjummas to like you cause then they might send you some food or banchan and i heard one of them makes excellent kimchi.โย
