Chapter 152. Lettuce bacon
(Third Person POV)
As the time of the mixer approached, Asher decided to prepare Yakiniku—a social grilling tradition from his previous life where people sat around, grilling meat, chatting, and drinking together.
He moved the coffee table out of the way in their dining room, then placed a solid iron cube on top of a few bricks to protect the floor from getting damaged. Next, he added charcoal inside the cube and carefully set a grill rack over it.
He grabbed vegetables from his mother’s kitchen which he had brought over from his realm—onions, lettuce wraps—and placed them neatly on the side while the boys watched, grinning, clearly intrigued by what he was doing.
But among them, Brian was already drooling at the thought of grilled meat.
Asher pulled out the meat they had purchased for the mixer and instructed the others on how to slice it into thin strips, showing them how it was done with smooth precision.
Once the prep was done, he told the others to take turns bathing. Kira went first, followed by Brian and Derrick, who ended up bathing together—laughing, goofing around, and boasting loudly about their penis sizes like idiots.
Asher and Adrian stayed behind to finish setting everything up—the games, food, booze, grill—everything was falling perfectly into place. Now, all they had to do was wait for the girls.
Eventually, the others returned from the bathroom, fresh and dressed to impress. Then Adrian went in, and finally Asher stepped into the bathroom—only to find it a disaster zone. Water was splashed across the floor, and clothes were thrown everywhere. He sighed, shaking his head, then took a quick bath.
Afterward, he mopped the floor and cleaned up the mess. If Sharon saw the bathroom like this, she’d absolutely snap, and Asher was in no mood for her drama right now.
Back in his room, he also got dressed to impress. The others had gone all out with their looks—so would he.
