This week's word is...
SPOON

How to play: Find the word in any WIP and comment with the sentence containing it. Just the one, ideally! The less context, the more hilarious & interesting it can be.

Rules:
- All fandoms, all ships, all writers welcome
- Give a head's up for disturbing/distressing content
- If you share a sentence, please read some left by other writers and drop at least one person a comment. (If you leave the first comment, thanks for starting us off, and we hope you'll pop back around later!)

A note about interacting: Writers supporting each other is important to me. If you object to leaving comments for another writer, then we are not for you. If you repeatedly ignore this rule, you will lose community membership.

funnily enough, every mention of the word spoon (eight so far) in this fic come from this chapter. So, here's a different part.

Yuri took a lettuce leaf and layered it with a spoonful of ssamjang and a piece of the pork. Folding the leaf, she presented it to Kitty with her chopsticks. Jiwon and Soon Ja’s eyes widened at the gesture, knowing the significance. Kitty accepted it at face value, thinking it was just Yuri being friendly.

Ah, I love me a cooking experience (I'm not sure if it's that, though). Nonetheless, I just love the use of cooking as a means of impressing someone!

It is, in a sense! They help with cooking a dish that's part of the dinner. That's what happens before this scene. Kitty and Yuri help make tofu stew, which they sit down to eat before Kitty's aunt and cousin come to the table with the pork bulgogi.

In Korean culture, wrapping a lettuce leaf like this is often shown as an expression of your feelings or affection towards someone, so it's a subtle tell that Yuri likes Kitty, but Kitty, growing up in America, doesn't know this, so she passes it off.
