Flower of Jealousy
Turning point.
한영서
Uh... over there...
The cafe that Daniel took Youngseo to was a much more luxurious place than Lucieri Venus.
강다니엘
Here, a petit chocolat cake? One and two cups of black tea, please.
Daniel smiled leisurely at Yeongseo, who was dumbfounded with surprise.
강다니엘
Right?
직원
How about a petite chocolate cake and two cups of tea?
강다니엘
Please pay with this card.
직원
Yes, you will receive a 5% discount as a VIP benefit.
Yeongseo looked at the amount written on the receipt.
[142,500 won]
The cakes at Lucieri Venus weren't cheap by any means, but the cakes here looked like they were almost five times more expensive at first glance.
강다니엘
What are you doing? Let's sit down.
한영서
Hey, are you crazy?! Why did you come to a place like this? A kid with no income..!!
강다니엘
Oh, that's enough. My card is a kid anyway.
한영서
No, if it's not your card, you shouldn't use it like that, you idiot!!!
직원
Here, we have a petit chocolat cake and two cups of black tea.
강다니엘
So, you're saying you won't stay?
한영서
That... that's...
At Daniel's one word, Yeongseo immediately tucked her tail between her legs.
한영서
Wow... By the way, it looks really delicious...
The petit chocolat cake at this cafe seemed worth the price.
The cake was ornately topped with various fruits and sprinkled with gold dust. The dripping chocolate syrup made it look even more appetizing.
As soon as the cake came out, Daniel looked at Yeongseo, whose eyes sparkled, with a smile.
강다니엘
Yeah, it looks delicious.
Daniel said something to Yeongseo, who couldn't bear to eat the cake.
강다니엘
What are you doing, don't eat quickly.
한영서
thank you for this food!
한영서
Wow, this is really delicious. It's just the right amount of sourness, but not too sweet. It's definitely worth the price.
강다니엘
My Mura, My Mu.
Daniel looked at Youngseo happily as she ate the cake as if she had been waiting for it, and gently stroked her head.
강다니엘
Oh my, my little one. You wanted to eat it so badly, yet you were so proud of yourself.
Yeongseo nervously shook off Daniel's stroking hand.
한영서
No, I'm not a kid!
한영서
By the way, where did you actually get the card?
강다니엘
Wow, are you going to pay me back?
한영서
If it were yours, I wouldn't have paid it back, but I'm worried because it's someone else's card.
강다니엘
Actually, that's... oh, you're coming at the right time.
황민현
Daniel, what are you doing here?
Dandy attire, tall stature, small face. Deep-set eyes with no double eyelids, a high nose, and a sweet, gentle way of speaking. A classic handsome man, passed down from ancient times to the present.
This man, who gave off the appearance of a nobleman from afar, truly looked like a prince on a white horse.
강다니엘
Yaga was making such a fuss about wanting to eat cake, so I brought her here.
황민현
Oh, really? Then you're really welcome. The cakes here are, I can honestly say, the best.
When I smiled slightly, it seemed to shine even brighter.
It was so dazzling that I couldn't bear to look at it.
강다니엘
Why aren't you saying anything? Say hello. This is my cousin, Min-hyun, who is my lifeline.
황민현
Hey, no matter what, what's the source of money for you, hyung? A source of money.
강다니엘
Oh why lol
한영서
hello..
강다니엘
Minhyun hyung, you are...
황민현
So, this is...Daniel's girlfriend?
강다니엘
Aida.
한영서
No!!
Oh no, I yelled too loudly in front of the prince. After regaining her senses, Yeongseo's face turned bright red.
강다니엘
You're screaming lol
한영서
sorry...
황민현
Oh, no. Rather, I am the one who is sorry.
한영서
Oh, no! What does Cousin Daniel have to be sorry about?
황민현
Because I was the one who said something unpleasant to hear.
It was not just his appearance that was sweet, but I could feel with my whole body that he was a sweet and affectionate person from head to toe.
황민현
If you're not my girlfriend, then you're my best friend... Mr. Han Young-sik? I've heard you say that a lot.
한영서
....yes?
Youngsik? Youngsik? Who would have thought I'd hear Daniel's usual nickname for Youngseo here?
Even if it was a mess from the start, it was a mess from the very beginning. It was a mess from the very beginning.
강다니엘
Oh, it's Aida lol. It's Han-Young-Seo, not Han-Young-Sik.
Yeongseo, seeing Minhyun's bewildered expression, quickly answered.
한영서
Oh, he usually calls me Youngsik, I guess he calls me that at home too.
강다니엘
Yeol, I thought you were a rapper;
황민현
Oh, sorry. I thought I misremembered again.
한영서
No, it's not Daniel's cousin, it's Daniel himself who should feel sorry.
After answering like that, Yeongseo gently pinched Daniel's arm.
강다니엘
ah!
Daniel looked at Yeongseo with resentful eyes and stroked her arm.
황민현
By the way, don't you feel uncomfortable with me continuing to call you Cousin Daniel?
한영서
Yes? Then how...
강다니엘
Then, call me boss haha. Minhyun hyung, you're the boss of the company upstairs.
한영서
The boss?!
Boss?! Boss?
I heard you were Daniel's money man, so I figured you must be making a lot of money. But I never thought you'd be the CEO.
For a moment, I felt like he was from a different world.
황민현
Oh, it's not a big company. It's just a small design firm. And, since I'm not an employee like you, I don't think it'd be awkward to call you "boss."
한영서
An employee?! This kid?!
I've never seen you work before, but you're an employee?!
I went to the practice room with Youngseo every day, but I never saw Daniel go to work.
강다니엘
Actually, it doesn't do anything special, it's just a name on it.
황민현
To put it simply, a salary thief?
한영서
ah.
Min-Hyeon's one word made Yeong-Seo understand in an instant.
강다니엘
Oh, what are you talking about? I was just trying to show off.
황민현
Oh my, is our Eui-Geon upset? Our Eui-Geon is upset, haha
강다니엘
Oh, please don't do that.
Medical condition. Lecture condition.
Yeongseo had a strange feeling, perhaps because she had never seen anyone else call Daniel a doctor.
한영서
Um... Then what do you think would be easier to call you?
황민현
If you're the same age as Daniel, would you just call him "oppa"? If that's uncomfortable, you can call him "hyung" like this guy.
한영서
Oh, yes! Oh...bro. You can talk comfortably.
Since she usually called older men "hyung," the title "oppa" felt a little awkward and cringey, but she liked it anyway.
황민현
Really? Then I'll just call you Yeongseo.
한영서
Yes, oppa haha
강다니엘
Hey, I've never seen Youngsik call me oppa in my entire life. I've never seen him.
황민현
Oh, so I'm the first older brother in Yeongseo?
한영서
haha....
Yeongseo smiled faintly, as if embarrassed.
황민현
Okay, take your time. I still have some work to do, so I'll go.
한영서
Oh, goodbye.
강다니엘
Hey, hey, go away.
So, my first meeting with my prince passed.
