Chương 9: A Trick!

I was speechless. Hearing that question made me feel strange. Saying something like that didn't mean that they were my type. I just thought that it was an unusual thing for an elite business like him, where normally, some businessmen would collect wine to drink with other elites as a close relation in business.

However, after hearing the question, I chose not to make any comments and just fell silent.

Didn't get any response, Kim Daehyun sighed in disappointment, then spoke with a sigh, "It seems your character has changed a lot than before."

I was silent while lowering my gaze a little.

Kim Daehyun stopped thinking about it, and walked over to a dining table and sat on a chair. In front of him, there was a noodle that was still steamy. It seemed he just brewed it a while ago before I got here.

Seeing that, I asked in a slightly mocking tone, "Noodle? I thought someone like you had a much more expensive breakfast with balanced nutrition."

Daehyun cackled, "It's because no one wants to cook for me, even if I have an assistant in front of me."

The words insulted me directly. Besides he was good at saying something that made people feel touched, he was either great at saying something that got people stuck in their hearts.

But, I was a quiet person. Such a thing wasn't something I could get carried away with, I hardly even felt anything other than just ordinary words. I had had many experiences that testing my patience, this was nothing compared to all of them.

If I had to complain, I should complain to the person who caused this pain that lingered in my heart for these years.

In a low voice, I replied calmly, "Uh, I see ... Okay, I'll cook for you, then I'll take the files and go."

"For real?!" Daehyun stood up from the chair immediately. His eyes sparkled brightly like a puppy would be given a bone. Cute but also quite pitiful.

I grinned faintly and nodded. slowly, then walked to the refrigerator and checked what ingredients were in it.

Here were some vegetables and some meat. Seeing all the ingredients, I smiled as I felt a little funny. At first, I thought that the refrigerator would be empty and wouldn't be filled with ingredients like these, but this was beyond my expectations. Seemingly, there was someone who was always cooking for him.

Perhaps, his girlfriend?

Yes, his girlfriend...

Somehow as I thought about it, there was a sudden disappointment among so many pains in my heart. I could feel it vaguely.

Without thinking about it any longer, I started cooking, while Kim Daehyun kept staring at me with a smile behind the dining table. His eyes were sparkling and looking so bright, it was as if he were staring at his wife in the kitchen, and couldn't wait to have breakfast with her. It made me feel like I was comforting him in the morning.

Still, I didn't mind at all. Back in our childhood, Kim Daehyun was a good person. But, before I had the chance to repay all of his kindness to me, he suddenly disappeared.

A few moments later, the food was ready. This was just a bowl of corn soup. After it was cooked, I immediately prepared it on the table and Daehyun greeted it with pleasure.

I smiled secretly and thought that Daehyun hadn't become mature yet. Even though his physical maturity was perfect, he still acted like a child. But, oddly enough, it comforted me and felt good.

Then, afterward, I also intended to return. I took off the apron while asking, "Daehyun, where are the files?"

Hearing that question, Daehyun immediately stopped chewing his food. He was stunned for a moment, swallowing his food painstakingly before speaking, "Uh, that's... nothing."

I frowned in confusion, then asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

"I was lying. I just wanted you to come here. I did it purposely so we could have breakfast together."

"..."

Feeling guilty, he lowered his gaze a little. In his voice, it sounded pity, "Um, that's ... I'm sorry. I had to. If I was honest, you'd turn down that ridiculous request, right?"

Instantly the irritation when I heard that it was just a trick from him appeared on my chest. I didn't respond to anything and just wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible.

However, before I took a few steps, Daehyun immediately stopped me by exclaiming, while rushing to face me.

"Chunghee, wait!" as he spoke, he spread his hands apart and blocked the front door, preventing me from leaving.

"You lied to me. Why did you do this?" Even though I was angry, I couldn't show that anger and spoke politely as usual.

"Chunghee, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I won't do it again. I promise. But, just for once, since you're already here too, then have breakfast with me, okay?" he touched my arm and spoke in a pitiful voice.

Seeing his earnest eyes, made me melt. I sighed softly, then nodded in agreement.

I thought that as long as he wanted to admit his mistake, I didn't have any reason to sulk any longer.

Unlike that person, who always kept his rottenness hidden from me.

At the dining table, we sat across from each other. We didn't have any conversation until he voiced, "Chunghee, are you still mad at me?"

This was the first time I had breakfast with another person. The feeling was strange; Maybe, it because I hadn't used to someone else besides Donghwa. However, when the other person was Daehyun, this awkwardness didn't last much longer and made me feel comfortable.

I shook my head softly, "No, I'm not mad anymore."

"Then, why are you showing that face to me?"

"Uh, I'm sorry, I was just thinking about something."

Daehyun smiled then continued to eat his food.

After a short pause, I asked, "Daehyun, why don't you ask your girlfriend to cook for you every day? Is she also a busy person like you?"

Hearing the question, Daehyun choked suddenly, and immediately took a sip of water before he laughed. "What did you say? Girlfriend? I don't have a girlfriend."

"Seriously?" I said with a frown, disbelieving his words. "I thought you were married or at least engaged to a woman."

Slowly his laughter subsided and his expression turned serious, "I'm waiting for someone else. I've known that person for a long time, but because we've been apart for a long time, it seems I have to start over from the start."

"Uh, I'm sorry." I paused for a moment, lowering my gaze before continued, "It must be hard for you. I shouldn't have said things like that. I'm sorry." while talking, I also feel guilty.

This was too much. I should never have said that. Daehyun must be feeling that difficult feeling inside him. It was hurtful if knowing the feel of awaiting.

Daehyun chuckled, "Chunghee, you're shameless."

Hearing this, I pretended to grim and then ate my food.

This morning wasn't bad. Even though Daehyun made a trick that annoyed me a little, it didn't last long. Even though he had a cold face, Kim Daehyun had a nice personality, so there wouldn't be anyone who could scold him for something like this.

After all, our togetherness at this time, made me feel like I was with Donghwa at the beginning of our relationship, where the loveliness remained vividly in my head even though it was years ago.
