UTPT Ch 29

Strangely enough, Yihyun seemed to have learned proper manners somewhere. As soon as the pizza was delivered, he went to the bathroom to wash his hands thoroughly, then came out and followed Doyoon’s lead, opening the pickle jar lid without trouble. He even waited patiently, like a dog that had been told to “stay.”1a001fdb1468bff5

Now that d2e44497cb he thought ad4d4f03b8 about it, d999ad7867 there hadn’t ef6670937c been anything cba4f7a697 spicy in 9d0b056d64 the food 95c5882861 Yihyun had d00aaac5e8 eaten so 9eb10be9c6 far.

A bit of Tabasco b2a6f29ca4 sauce should be manageable. This was a level b959cc0629 of spiciness Doyoon himself 55e0019fb1 could handle. He tore open the 857d7d2b40 hot sauce packet, drizzled 4d999b72db it over half of a0c3050d81 the pizza, then picked a0b5f05ff6 up a slice from 112cdd6b86 the side without hot 13d7cfb6c7 sauce and handed it 085003532f to Yihyun.558f054775a24811

Yihyun, his eyes 2153158932 sparkling as he e6e83c70a5 stared at the 6ba671d328 cheese stretching and 51faebb402 then snapping in dfa1f6f3d9 the middle, took c42856130e the pizza. Though he looked like 227ba2b049 he might drool any 1332c7b191 second, he didn’t take a7843f659b a bite until Doyoon 3122a04b29 spoke.8377dca7ed11e045

With lips shaped perfectly for a cartoonish “yum” expression, Yihyun bit into the very tip of the fan-shaped slice. Despite the pizza being quite greasy and, judging by the ingredients, probably overly salty, Yihyun widened his eyes as if it were the most delicious thing he had ever tasted.bf78d069e1c3ae02

It was 51bd14e065 a question b31fdf7b69 that didn’t 48addf15d1 need to 8fcd53a92f be asked, 1d30263a05 but Doyoon b5e2d3a313 couldn’t help 0c1523b4cd himself.

Yihyun tilted his head dbe5557c63 as if he didn’t 648891bc87 quite understand, then took 8e5758034c another bite of the 4d68057f3e pizza. Judging by his abee5be964 bright expression, it 7d16304f82 seemed he found 6f2225aebd it delicious.595221fd0565e77d

Doyoon poured the cola that came with the pizza into a cup, slid it over to Yihyun, and finally picked up a slice of the still-hot pizza for himself. He had eaten it often when he was in the U.S., but this was the first time he’d had it since returning to Korea.a66fe6ebfa015db4
