Chapter 208: Discussions on Cuisine
A week had gone by since Elin had disappeared for that day, though Kim was still entertained at the reason why. Especially with the irony that if she hadn't gone lookig for the person who had made the bread, she'd have been able to find him easily.
However, she recognized that Elin's feelings on the matter mandated that she not say anything to Elin or be overheard by Elin talking about it. Especially if she was laughing about it. Although, Kim wouldn't mind 'making up' with Elin afterwards, she couldn't be sure how long Elin might be upset about it for.
Still, she couldn't help but wonder what else Elin might do in the future like that. She hoped that the next time something like this occurred, that Elin wouldn't be as embarrassed, though Elin was probably more mortified, about it.
As then Kim would be able to tease her without having to worry about Elin getting upset and quite possibly left sleeping apart from each other for a while.
However, Kim couldn't help but find herself staring at a new dish that Elin apparently had worked with the guy who had made the bread. She wasn't sure what it was, nor could she really identify what might be in it. Only that Elin was watching her with an expectant expression on her face.
What was in front of her looked like a kind of dinner roll, that had been put around something, that gave the roll lumps in places, and couldn't otherwise be seen.
Kim typically was always interested in trying new foods, but that was usually because she knew what was in them. While in this case, she couldn't be sure what it was that she was looking at. Aside from the part that was made out of bread.
Although, she wasn't sure how they were able to get it cooked in the first place, since she knew they weren't travelling with an over, but that wasn't the main point. The main point was the fact that Elin wanted to see what Kim thought of it, and Kim was very much aware that if she didn't have a positive enough reaction to it, that it was likely going to hurt Elin's feelings.
Never before had she found herself in such a precarious position. Yet, she also knew that she couldn't just hold the... roll in front of her forever like that. So, she carefully lifted it and took a bite.
Inside the roll was the stew that they'd had earlier. While it wasn't bad, she couldn't say it was an improvement either. Still, given Elin's hopeful smile, Kim decided not to say anything.
She merely smiled and took another bite, the tension in Elin giving way to relief.
