A soft fondness flooded through him from the words and a gentle and tender smile filled his face. It shouldn't surprise him, though, with how sweet and affectionate Dash tended to be and so naturally. It spoke volumes of his character and the tenderness of his heart. Covering Dash's hand with his other one, he gave a nod of his head. "I'm glad I can share this with you." He couldn't even recall the last time he had such a connection to something or someone. Usually, things were kept at arms length, not always by his doing either.

After a momemt, he let their hands drop and pushed gently at Dash. "Go, it takes you forever to get ready." Playful words but truthful all the same. When Dash did finally leave, Sungmin finished all the food and other preparations to give more of the 'wow' factor. Okay, maybe he liked the presentation as much as making the food.

It left the dessert, which he helped along with making an easy tart to fill the gelato into. It masked it a bit more as a French kind of treat. He shut his binder and set about cleaning up the kitchen.
