“Dani, you’re really late. Joke and Artit came even before noon.”
“That’s why I’m apologizing. But don’t worry, I bring the shop’s snacks with me too.”
Dani said as he held up a bag with his Bakery’s logo for Rin to see. She immediately broke into a smile.
“Thank you! You’ve made me addicted to your shop’s pastries.”
She hurriedly took the bag. The blond-haired man smiled widely.
“Think of it as an early celebration for your competition tomorrow.”
“Amen! Hope that’d be true!”
She put her hands together as if to pray along with his words, causing laughter to erupt among the men there. Joke was the only one to sit still, exhaustion seemed to emanate from him to the point that even Dani could sense it.
“What’s the matter with you, huh, Joker? You look like you didn’t get enough sleep.”
“That’s partly true,” Joke wearily replied.
“And is this the friend you’ve told me about?”
