After the bath, the apartment felt warmer.
The sound of the rain outside could still be heard, but it was quieter now. Just scattered drops tapping against the window.
I stood in the small kitchen.
The water in the pot was starting to boil.
Yuna emerged from the bathroom a few seconds later.
Her hair was still slightly damp. She was wearing an oversized house shirt and shorts. A small towel still hung around her neck.
She stopped at the kitchen door.
Her nose twitched slightly.
"…Papa."
"Hm."
"It smells good."
"It's hot water."

She walked closer.
Standing right beside me.
Her eyes stared at the pot like she was observing an experiment.
"What is that?"
"Instant noodles."
She blinked.
"…noodles?"
"Yes."
"I've eaten noodles before."
"These are different."
She tilted her head slightly.
"What's the difference?"
"They're faster."
Yuna looked even more intrigued.
She stood on a small stool so she could see inside the pot.
