Springtime Inn Extra || Excerpts of their daily life [Jaha Lee x GN!Reader]

Extra for this story. Also wrote this quickly, so it's not beta'd 😔

Jaha Lee was a lot more pleased with his and [Y/N]’s shared interests than he thought. He found himself often thinking about food he’d like to try out with them, which, while the food thing was quite normal, he never thought of them like that previously. Additionally, he never actually thought about food too much before, either. It used to always be about training and protecting the weak, not having food on his mind at all.

Letting out a grumble, he continued to sit under the plum blossom tree, cultivating his qi. Jaha knew that [Y/N] would always seek him out in this area, as he was always here when he wasn’t out on a personal mission. His eyes snapped open when he heard light footsteps approaching him, heart beating strangely quick. Maybe it was them. He could only subconsciously hope.

…

That hope was quickly dashed when he saw Hongshin approaching him. It seemed that the observant general noticed his soured face, and innocently tilted her head at his pouting.

“Great brother, are you okay?” She asked once she was at a closer distance to him. He grumbled out in response. Hongshin wondered why he was oddly sulky, though there was a famous statement circulating within their sect: ‘Who knew what the sect leader was thinking?’ And she is often reminded that truer words have never been spoken.

“I’m fine,” Jaha spoke, his tone coming out much harsher than intended. However, Hongshin felt chills go through her spine - he hasn’t used that kind of tone with her since they first met, and it brought flashbacks to when they fought and he drugged her (she’d rather not remember it at all).

Hongshin gave an awkward smile, before hesitantly asking, “I just wanted to know why you’ve been going out so much…”

At this, Jaha’s annoyance quickly dissipated, answering the question like how he normally would: in a monotone and nonchalant voice, “I go out to eat.”

“Well, yes, but… A lot more than usual…”

That was true. While Jaha did go out a lot unannounced, there were also many days where he just sat in the sect and trained himself and his subordinates. Lately, however, and it was usually after the usual work hours, he would go out and reason that it was for a stroll. More often than not, he’d come back to the sect after a few hours.

In the beginning, no one batted an eye; he was the sect leader, and him going out like that was normal. However, it had already been a few weeks, and this became a regular, everyday occurrence; so much so, that the generals and even sect members were beginning to suspect something.

“I’ve been trying out the new foods in Ilyang,” Jaha responded after a few moments of uncomfortable (well, uncomfortable for Hongshin) silence.

Just then, another pair of footsteps approached them, though stopping at a considerable distance. Because of their keen observation skills, Hongshin and Jaha’s heads snapped over to the source. It was [Y/N], about to approach Jaha with a bag of takeout they got. It seemed like they noticed Hongshin and Jaha talking to one another, as they suddenly stopped. Under the leader and the general’s gaze, they shuffled their feet uncomfortably.

“[Y/N],” Jaha called out, motioning for them to come closer. And they did. His eyes darted to the bag, then back to his subordinate, indicating that he was curious as to what was inside.

Noticing this, [Y/N] quickly snapped out of their stupor, smiled and placed the bag on his lap. They answered, “I accidentally got more food than intended, since… well, I usually order for two, as you know.”

They gave a small smile to Sister Monkey in a quick greeting, then quickly scurried off again. Jaha quietly opened up the bag, Hongshin watching him. His eyes seemed to grow fonder as he looked at the contents inside: it was his favorite, Pork Bone Broth. There was a note on top of the container of the soup, and it read:

‘Hey! I ordered two and I wondered if I could eat it with you for dinner, like usual. Meet up with me later at the rooftop?’

Hongshin watched as Jaha’s entire demeanor brightened up, his back straightening as he had a wide, stupid grin on his face. She was curious, so she asked, “What’s inside?”

“Food. My favorite.”

Origami || Excerpts of their daily life [Jaha Lee x GN!Reader]

Cha Seongtae watched as Lee Jaha did his best to craft something with his hands, an unusual concentration underneath his crimson red eyes. Seongtae had practically been looking for Jaha everywhere, the sect leader being needed for something, as usual. However, he checked everywhere, and the last place he thought Jaha would be in was his room.

What surprised him even more is that Jaha was clumsily trying to fold several pieces of paper together, and tying them together as a makeshift bouquet. While Seongtae knew that Jaha was smitten for [Y/N], he didn’t realize how far the sect leader could take it.

Well - he now knew that Jaha was a lot more smitten for [Y/N] than he initially thought. To be fair, Jaha always had a bored look on his face whenever he wasn’t killing or mocking anyone, so when Seongtae saw Jaha smiling softly at the person, he was stunned.

Anyways. To focus on the situation at hand, Seongtae watched Jaha for a bit (the man’s concentration never wavering, despite him usually being observant to everything happening around him). He watched as Jaha failed multiple times at folding a rose, or as he messily tied a few of them together, before sighing and putting it to the side.

Upon taking a closer look, on the side of the table Jaha was working at was an entire stack of paper bouquets - if you could even call them that. They were all messily strung together, and the bottommost bouquets look horrid. He did note that the ones on the top, the more recent bouquets, looked slightly better than the ones before.

After a bit of watching the man struggle, Seongtae spoke up, “Master Jaha, what are you doing…?”

For the first time since he met Jaha, he finally caught the man off guard. Jaha jumped slightly in his seat, before sheepishly turning to Seongtae and making a half-assed effort to hide the paper bouquets behind him.

“Nothing,” He mumbled.

Seongtae raised an eyebrow at the obvious lie, crossing his arms. He replied, “That doesn’t look like ‘nothing’.”

Jaha looked awkward, knowing that Seongtae caught him. His eyes averted, internally battling with himself. He wondered if he should tell Seongtae the truth. Jaha wasn’t the type of man to be so hesitant, and he wasn’t the type of man to be scared if he was acting out of character. After a few moments of debating with himself, Jaha sighed and answered Seongtae, though with a slightly reluctant look on his face.

“I’m… trying to make a paper bouquet for [Y/N].”

“I can see that,” Seongtae quickly answered, earning a sharp glare from Jaha. He quickly shut up. After another few moments of silence, Jaha continued.

“They mentioned it would be romantic, so I’m… working on it,” He finished, looking off to the side as if he were avoiding Seongtae’s gaze.

Seongtae raised his eyebrow again, staring at the bouquets, “They’re quite ugly, to be honest.”

This earned him another sharp glare from the sect leader, and he put his hand up to defend himself. After a bit, Seongtae offered (after he saw the dejected look on Jaha’s face after he finished glaring at the manager), “I know how to make origami. It’s not a bouquet, but I can teach you how to make a swan.”

…

That day, you came back to your own room, noting something out of place on your desk, on top of several books. It was a singular paper swan, clumsily folded on the corners but was neat. You let out a small chuckle as you noted the writing on one of the wings.

‘Aside from your cooking, you're my favourite.’
