NOVEL NEXT Chapter 11: Chapter 11
"Tell me! Who the guy is!" Yeonjun looked a bit too curious about the person chasing after Wooyoung. Yeonjun acted as if he was a little girl who was tempted to listen to a fairytale by her granny.
"Hey! Why are you showing so much concern? And you are smiling weirdly too! What's the meaning?" Wooyoung said surprisingly as he didn't expect the behavior from his friend.
"Hehe, nothing! JUST TELL ME! I CAN'T WAIT TO KNOW!" Yeonjun shouted suddenly. That time their order had been served. There were two pieces of chocolate pastry with nicely decorated toppings, an iced salted caramel mocha and an iced Americano. Both of them nodded to express their gratitude towards the waiter.
"Huh! How should I start! It was nearly six months ago. I met him at a party. My dad took me to the party. I was getting really bored and then I saw a guy, looking very tired. I thought he didn't like the crowd too. So, I went to him and introduced myself. After having some talk, we went outside to take a walk. Then, I noticed, he wasn't just tired. He was also sick. I checked his temperature with my palm and saw his forehead was burning. So, without hesitating, I took him to the hospital and they gave him an IV drip and medicine. He also took some rest. And while he was resting, I bought some food and waited for him there. But more like I was playing some games on mobile and didn't notice the time.
And when my father called me, I noticed it was already 1am. I got scared because you know how rude my father is! I went home as soon as I could after that. He was indeed very angry. Of course he should because I vanished from the party all of a sudden and didn't go home till the very late at night. I somehow managed the situation and went to my room. Next morning I went to the company hurriedly because I needed to sign a deal with a bigger company named *San* This was the first time my father gave me authority to handle a deal. But when I saw the CEO, I was surprised because it was the guy I helped the previous night. His name was San but I had no idea he was the CEO of the San group." Wooyoung picked up some cakes with the fork and put it in his mouth. The cake was so tasty that he forgot what he was saying for a moment.
"Wait a minute! You are saying the one chasing after you is Mr. San from the San group?" Yeonjun was shocked for a while.
"Um." Wooyoung put another spoon of cake as he was too immersed in eating.
"Woah! Really?" Yeonjun took a sip from his iced Americano and while putting it on the table, he acted amazed by the truth.
"So?" Wooyoung noticed Yeonjun's reaction and he got a little angry.
"I mean! You hit the jackpot!" Yeonjun said smilingly.
"I WON'T TELL YOU ANYMORE! YOU'RE ANNOYING!" Wooyoung shouted suddenly.
"No, Jhagiya! What I'm saying is, didn't you always want to date some CEO? You should grab this opportunity!" Yeonjun came closer while poking the cake with his fork and said.
"When did I want to date a CEO?" Wooyoung made his voice harsh because he was annoyed at Yeonjun for real.
"Okay okay! What happened then?" Yeonjun finally put a spoonful of cake inside his mouth and he was also amazed by how tasty the cake was.
"Nothing much! He signed the deal as if he didn't know me. But after that day, he started showing up every day at the company I'm handling. He thanked me for what I did but don't you think it's too much? I mean he said he was there to check on the work progress. But he can send his secretary or someone else to keep an eye on the project, no? Or, he can come once a week. But, I have to see his face every single day! And he acts as if it's his company! I couldn't understand why he was doing it at first because he looks like a gangster. But he's too bad at hiding his emotions so I could tell he likes me. But bro! What have I done to make him feel like that towards me! Huh! I'm trying to avoid him these days but if I go to my office now, I'd see him waiting for me. He'd give me a big and cute smile as if he was the husband waiting for his wife!" He thunked on the table loudly using his hands, making the whole table shake.
"Woah! Calm down bro! I mean, your anger is valid. But he didn't say he likes you yet, right?" Yeonjun asked.
"No," Wooyoung shook his head negatively to answer.
"Then, what are you afraid of? Make use of the chance. Make him do those works you find too difficult to handle. You can hit two birds at a stone like this. Your father would see potential in you and he'd be pleased by helping you too! And if he is clever enough, he'd notice you're treating him like a normal employee and he might not come to your office anymore! All in one, you're the one who wins!" Yeonjun said while taking another sip from his Americano.
"Hah! You sly fox! How come you're not an advisor?" Wooyoung smirked since he also liked the idea.
"But the cake is too good! Would you mind buying me another one, please?" Wooyoung acted cute to get another piece of the cake.
"I know right! Let me go use the restroom first and then ask them if there are other pieces available right now." Yeonjun stood up and went to the restroom. When he was on his way back from the washroom, he remembered Wooyoung asked for another piece of cake. So, he thought he should go and order some more. But right at that moment, he got a call from his workers. Yeonjun was talking with them while walking. He reached at the counter and stopped walking.
"Are you saying we should just pluck them up? Won't it affect the taste? Looks like they're still raw!" someone from the other side said.
"No! It won't! They're ready to harvest now! If you don't believe me, then hold a berry and check if you need to put force into picking it up. If you don't need to put force and it comes to your hand, that means it's ripe!" Yeonjun bickered since it was the day he needed to be there to pick up the blueberries from his garden.
"Do you need something, sir?" A boy who was standing on the other side of the bill counter, asked.
"Wait a minute!" Yeonjun covered his phone with his other hand so that the other party wouldn't be able to hear him talking with others outside of the phone. But when he looked at the boy, he was stunned. He couldn't blurt a single word after that because it was the boy whom he was looking for all these days.
"Um…. excuse me, sir!" Soobin threw a fake smile at him because he didn't have any idea what he should do and why that guy was looking at him that way.
"Hey! I'm telling you! I needed to press a little! Should I tell them to pick them or not?" The lady shouted from the other side of the phone and it made Yeonjun come back into his senses.
"Huh! Yeah! Just pick them up!" Saying that he hung up the call and kept looking at the tall bunny.
"Erm…do you need to order something?" Soobin asked again, awkwardly in a very low voice.
"Yes! I need to order you!" Yeonjun mumbled while looking at him.
"Eh?" Soobin looked at Yeonjun with his questioning, puppy eyes.
"I mean, Do you want blueberries?" Yeonjun said nervously as he forgot why he was there.
"Heh?" Soobin looked at him with his innocent eyes like a soft witted person because he couldn't understand what was going on with the customer and what he truly wanted.
