Yah My second Fic (again be gentle)
“Owwie”
“I’m going to be in soooo much … OUCH too hot!”
Zhou Mi heard this as he walked towards the cloud of black smoke billowing out of the kitchen. Dreading every step and knowing that what he was about to discover was not going to be good. For Anyone. The kitchen was Gege’s domain and no one entered under pain of death or something like that. Wookie was the only one who had gained entrance. Everyone else was suppose to stay away.
As Zhou Mi silently looked around the corner, he experienced a painful jolt upon seeing who was in the kitchen. It’s the baby, just great.
“What are you doing, Henli? Are you trying to burn down the dorm? You know your not suppose to be in here?”
Henry squeaked, jumped, and promptly dropped the pan he was holding splattering the very burnt rice all over the floor.
“Mimi-ge, you scared me. Umm… nothing” mumbled Henry as he crouched down trying to scoop up the scattered burnt rice.
“Like heck, what are you even doing in here?” snapped Zhou Mi causing the younger boy to flinch as he was on his knees trying to clean up the rice.
Silence answered him only broken by the quiet wisps of Henry’s hands as he gathered he remaining grains of rice. Then even than noise stopped. Very quietly Zhou Mi started to hear sniffling.
Sniff … Sniff
“I I I’m sooorry” wailed Henry pitifully “ I was hungry I’m sorry I didn’t mean to burn it.””Nnno one was home and you were in the shower and I thought I could do it quickly so I put it in the pan and then I had to got to the bathroom so I left it on the stove and went to the other bathroom but I was not in there long I ssswear but by the time I got back it was already burnt. And I could not find the pot holders and Sniff and Sniff I’m ssssoooorrryy” said Henry as he burst into tears.
Zhou Mi’s face softened as he listened to the disjointed and tear-filled explanation. “Calm down Henli, its ok, calm down.”
At that moment unknowingly to either boy, Han Geng arrived back at the dorm with groceries and Siwon trailing behind catching the tail end of Henry’s explanation.
“bbbut … Geng-ge is going to be maaad at me” balled Henry. “I don’t want him to be disappointed.”
“We’re back,” Siwon said. Henry squeaked and ran and hid behind the garbage can leaving Zhou Mi with a pan on the floor with black rice half cleaned up.
“What is going on in here, Han Geng said in a mock stern tone. Zhou Mi catching the tone said “ Ah I’m not sure.” Looking meaningfully a the trash can I just got out of the shower and found this.
“Humm I see”
Sniff … Sniff
Han Geng walked towards the trash can and found Henry wearing his cooking apron arms around his knees head down beside the trash can trying his best to look as small as possible.
“Henli what are you doing over there” Henry slowly looked up his cheeks slightly red from crying and silent tears rolling down his face as he hiccupped quietly.
I … I … I …
Han Geng bent down cupping Henry’s face in his hands. “Do you want to help with dinner?” Henry bit his lower lip and nodded slowly. “How did gege know?” Henry though as Han Geng dried his tears. “Ok lets clean this up first and you can help cook.”
Henry nodded vigorously standing to get the broom.
“And Henli next time don’t start without me there with you, ok”
“Sorry gege I won’t, promise”
