Yuri just finished taking a bath when she heard the ringing sound of her doorbell. She assumed that Brandon was the person outside.
She put her clothes on in a hurry. She wondered how Brandon knew her address. She was currently living alone in her condo unit. She was just going home to Chou Residence every Sunday.
Her wet hair was still wrapped by a towel. She hadn't finished fixing herself yet but she didn't want Brandon to wait outside her door.
When she opened the door, Brandon greeted her with a bright smile. He was wearing casual clothes- a plain white shirt and blue jeans.
His eyes surveyed her from top to bottom. His lips curled up into a teasing smile. He thought Yuri took a bath in a rush after ending the phone call.
But his place was just near her Condo unit so he arrived quickly, not giving Yuri enough time to fix herself.
"Please come in," Yuri said meekly, stepping to the side as she invited Brandon to enter.
The two of them proceeded to her living area. Brandon sat down comfortably on the couch.
"Can you give me a minute? I will just blow dry my hair and be back here."
"Sure. Take your time, Dr. Yuri. Can I touch your kitchen?"
"Okay. Just make yourself at home. There are some foods and drinks in the fridge." Yuri thought Brandon just wanted to have a drink.
Brandon nodded his head. Then Yuri went back to her room while Brandon checked her kitchen.

She traced her steps toward the kitchen and was surprised to see Brandon cooking fried rice. A corn soup, bacon, and fried egg.
"Whoa, you know how to cook?" Yuri asked him in amusement.
Brandon chuckled. He just winked at her as his response.
Yuri moved closer to Brandon, taking a peek at the cooking pot.
"I know you just woke up and haven't eaten any breakfast. So here I am cooking for you."
Yuri just smiled at his thoughtful actions. "Hmm, I can't wait to have a taste of your cooking."
"You might forget your name," he responded, boasting a little bit.
Yuri just giggled. She couldn't believe that Brandon took the initiative to cook for her. This was his first time coming to her place but he was acting like this was his own house.
After a while, he finished cooking fried rice and served it to the dining table where Yuri was waiting for him.
"Come, join me. Have you eaten your breakfast already?" Yuri asked him.
"Yes, I had some coffee before coming here. But since you asked me, I will join you. Let's eat."
Brandon and Yuri enjoyed their meal. She had to admit that Brandon's cooking was fine. He knew how to cook. He didn't fail her expectations.
Yuri and Brandon also washed the dishes together. She was truly amazed that Brandon would be comfortable in her house.
When they were done, the two decided to talk in the living room. Brandon was serious about asking her out and to date her exclusively.
Yuri felt a little bit awkward discussing this topic. But she had to.
"Hmm, so are you ready to talk about my proposal?" Brandon asked Yuri expectantly.
"Can you consider it now? See, I can cook for you. I am also boyfriend material," he added, just trying to lighten the mood.
"Oh, so you are bribing me by feeding me with your cooking?"
Brandon chuckled and said, "Oh right! I seldom cook for someone. Now, you are not allowed to refuse me as I already fed you!"
Yuri could only smile helplessly. "You are becoming shameless, Mr. Cullens."
"Hmm, I would prefer if you would call me by my name Brandon. But if you like you are free to call me sweetheart, boyfie, darling and babe too!"
Yuri hit Brandon on his shoulder as he started laughing at her. She was rendered speechless because of Brandon's advances.
"Hmm, so tell me your answer now, Dr. Chou." He put on a puppy eye look as he glanced at her.
Yuri paused for a moment, thinking about it. After a while, she heaved a deep sigh.
"Are you sure about this?" she asked.

Yuri gave him a faint smile before nodding her head. "Okay! I agree. Let's give it a shot. Us!"
"Yes!" Brandon almost jumped when he heard that. He grabbed Yuri and hugged her as he got overly excited.
"Starting today we are officially dating!"
Yuri bit her lip, her cheeks blushing. Brandon was moving so fast by hugging her. She gently pushed him away.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I just got carried away." Brandon released Yuri as he straightened on his seat.
"By the way, it seems that you are available today. Let's go out and have our first date!"
Yuri's jaw dropped when she heard that. "Date? As in today? Whoa, can you please slow down a bit?" Yuri felt like everything was happening so fast.
Brandon chuckled. He could see the shock in Yuri's face. He didn't mean to scare her by acting rashly but he was free today and he felt bored staying at home.
"Okay, if you don't want to go out, can you just let me stay here? I will accompany you for a whole day so that you will not get bored."
Yuri: "..."
'Is he serious? Brandon Cullens… what am I gonna do to you?'
"Please, let me stay. I will entertain you!" Brandon pleaded, trying to convince Yuri.
Yuri could only sigh in defeat. "Okay. You can stay here."
Brandon smiled from ear to ear. 'Why do I feel like today is going to be exciting? I have a chance to get to know more about her.'
