Chapter 5 - The Breakfast Battle

The next morning… 🌅

 Shina woke up late and rushed to freshen up. Still half-asleep, she walked into the kitchen—only to see Kuje gulping down an energy drink.

👩‍🦰 Shina: "So… even cockroaches can't cook, huh?" 😏

 🧑‍🦱 Kuje (spitting his drink): "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?! At least I don't pretend! When was the last time YOU cooked?!" 😡

Shina smirked confidently.

 👩‍🦰 Shina: "Every. Single. Day. I cook my own meals." 😌

— Flashback shows her cooking in her tiny apartment 🏠🍳

🧑‍🦱 Kuje: "Tch… You? Cooking? Don't make me laugh."

 👩‍🦰 Shina: "Hmph. Just watch and learn, cockroach." 😤

She tied her hair, rolled up her sleeves, and started cooking. Within minutes, the aroma of fried rice filled the house 🍚✨.

Kuje sniffed the air, his stomach betraying him.

 🧑‍🦱 Kuje (thinking): "Wait… why does this actually smell… good?" 🤨

He peeked inside the kitchen—eyes widening as he saw Shina gracefully flipping fried rice like a pro.

👩‍🦰 Shina (thinking): "Hehe… time to show this cockroach what REAL food tastes like." 😈

— Cut to the dining table.

 Shina proudly placed the fried rice on the table. 🍽️✨

🧑‍🦱 Kuje (thinking): "Wait… what if she poisoned it? What if this devil wants to kill me?!" 😱

He pushed the plate away nervously.

 🧑‍🦱 Kuje: "I-I'm not hungry! I'll pass."

Shina gave him a terrifying glare 😳👿.

 🧑‍🦱 Kuje: "N-no no! I'll eat!! I'll eat!!"

He shoved a spoonful into his mouth… then froze.

🧑‍🦱 Kuje (thinking): "…W-Wait… this is… DELICIOUS?!" 🤯

He devoured the entire plate like a starving wolf 🐺🔥.

👩‍🦰 Shina: "So… was it tasty?" 😉

 🧑‍🦱 Kuje (stuffing his face): "… … …" (too busy eating)

Finally, he finished and collapsed back.

 🧑‍🦱 Kuje: "Thank God… for blessing me with this meal today." 🙏

👩‍🦰 Shina (blushing slightly): "So… I'll take that as a yes?"

 🧑‍🦱 Kuje: "Yes, ma'am!" ✨

Her cheeks turned red—but she quickly masked it. Shina kicked him under the table 😳👟.

 🧑‍🦱 Kuje: "OW!! What did I do now?!"

But then… he noticed shina standing with her SCARY FACE 😨💀.

👩‍⚕️ Shina: "Did you just call me… MA'AM?" 😡

 🧑‍🦱 Kuje: "N-No, wait!! I didn't mean it!!" 😭

— Cut to both of them getting ready for school. 🎒🏫

As they reached the door, Shina suddenly grabbed Kuje's tie. 😳👔

👩‍🦰 Shina: "Listen carefully, cockroach. No one—ABSOLUTELY no one—at school should know we live together. Got it?"

 🧑‍🦱 Kuje (sweating): "O-Okay!! I get it!!" 😬

—Narrator: "But was this really just about reputation… or was there something else Shina was hiding

deep inside?" 🌙✨
