OF COURSE, Cho Euntak didn’t wait there like an idiot.
When Baek Jeho didn’t return after five minutes, he took it as a sign and left the cinema.
He knew that Baek Jeho might co to his apartnt, so he didn’t co ho.
Cho Euntak took a taxi and went to a random neighborhood to roam around mindlessly.
Then he spent a lot of ti in an art shop that he found by chance.
He felt his heart heal slowly when he found art materials that were hard to find in other big stores. Plus, he also discovered a few art books by a Southeast Asian artist that he hadn’t heard of before.
The next thing he knew, his arms and basket were already filled with a lot of things.
His heart might still be broken, but at least, he found joy in discovering his new favorite art store.
I’m definitely coming back.
When Cho Euntak ca to his senses, it was already ti for dinner.
I’m famished.
Thankfully, the area was brimming with restaurants.
The problem was that all the restaurants he went to didn’t accept him. Apparently, those restaurants didn’t serve single custors.
That made him upset, of course.
I’ll open a restaurant that’s solely for single people soday!
Cho Euntak was about to leave the last restaurant that turned him away and just go ho to order delivery.
However...
"Euntakie?"
Oh!
Cho Euntak was surprised to see Hong Sera coming out of the restaurant. "Noona..."
He trailed off when he realized that his noona wasn’t alone.
Hong Sera was with Baek Semin and Seowon— the little girl who was the sa age as Song Gunwoo.
Oh, right— I think Sera Noona is kind of dating this hyung with a young daughter?
"Are you alone?" Hong Sera asked worriedly. "This is far from the university and your ho. So, what are you doing here all by yourself?"
Ah.
Cho Euntak rembered how he ended up there, and he suddenly beca emotional. "Noona..."
***
"PRETTY OPPA, you can have my chocolate eggs. Don’t cry."
Aigoo.
Cho Euntak felt embarrassed that Seowon, a little child, had to comfort him because he almost cried earlier.
Thankfully, Hong Sera imdiately ushered him to the car before he made a scene in front of the restaurant. He thought his noona would either drive him ho or bring him to her place, but their destination was completely unexpected.
"Thank you, Seowonnie," Cho Euntak said, smiling at the child who gave him egg-shaped chocolate candies. He didn’t have the heart to refuse, seeing how Seowon looked sincere when comforting him. "I’ll eat them and cheer up."
Seowon just giggled before running back to her giant dollhouse to play with her dolls.
Yes, the dollhouse is big enough for a six-year-old baby girl to play in.
"Have so tea, Euntakie."
Cho Euntak lifted his head and smiled when he saw Hong Sera bringing a tray with a tea cup and a plate of biscuits. "Thank you, Noona."
"Have so snacks first," Hong Sera said, sitting on the sofa. "Semin Oppa is making dinner for you. His steak fried rice is really good, so I’m sure you’ll love it. His side dishes, too. And you can’t leave without having a taste of his famous lemon curd sponge cake. Trust — it tastes divine!"
Cho Euntak smiled while listening to Hong Sera brag about Baek Semin’s cooking and baking skills.
He was happy for his noona.
I can tell that Semin Hyung is taking good care of her.
"Did Baek Jeho ss up again?"
Cho Euntak smiled bitterly, and then he nodded. "I don’t think he really likes , Noona."
"I don’t know if I have to say this now, but actually..."
"Hmm?"
Hong Sera showed her phone to him. "Baek Jeho has been calling all this ti, and he keeps sending text ssages. He’s actually in front of the apartnt building right now."
Cho Euntak gasped. "But how did he know that I’m with you, Noona?"
"Baek Jeho figured it out. You only hang out with and Sohee Oppa. So, he figured that if you weren’t with Sohee Oppa, then you must be with ," Hong Sera explained. "And since I’m not in my parents’ place or my apartnt, then Baek Jeho figured out that I’d be here at Semin Oppa’s place. You know, Alphas can really be annoyingly perceptive sotis."
"But how did Baek Jeho know where Semin Hyung lives?"
"Baek Jeho has a connection to the chaebols. Running a background check on other people is one of their stupid hobbies."
Right.
"Plus, Semin Oppa is a celebrity. It’s easy to find out where he lives."
Cho Euntak sighed while shaking his head. "I don’t want to see Baek Jeho right now. I’m afraid I’d lose my apetite."
"We can’t have that happen. You have to realize how much of a good chef Semin Oppa is," Hong Sera claid, even though Baek Semin was an actor and not a professional chef. "So, ignore Baek Jeho in the anti and enjoy your dinner."
***
WOW.
Cho Euntak realized that Hong Sera wasn’t exaggerating when she said that Baek Semin was good at cooking.
How could a simple steak fried rice taste so good?
This is the best steak fried rice I’ve had in my life.
And the lemon curd sponge cake?
He almost cried because of how good it tasted.
"Semin Hyung, once you retire from acting, please open a restaurant," Cho Euntak pleaded. "And if you do, please don’t discriminate against single custors."
Baek Semin chuckled while nodding. "Alright, I’ll keep that in mind."
"Thank you for the al. I enjoyed it."
"You’re welco. I’m glad my food made you feel better."
While Cho Euntak was thinking about how he could entrust Hong Sera to this man, he got distracted when he heard the doorbell ring.
Baek Semin looked confused. "I’m not expecting any guest at this hour."
Cho Euntak gasped. "A stalker...?"
Baek Semin chuckled while shaking his head, and then he got up. "Sera-ya, I’ll get the door."
The actor caught Hong Sera, who was about to check the intercom.
"No, I’ll do it, Oppa," Hong Sera said. "What if it’s your stalker?"
"The more you shouldn’t check the door then," Baek Semin said. "I don’t want you to be in danger because of ."
Aww.
Hong Sera and Baek Semin ended up checking the intercom together.
And then...
"Euntakie, it’s Baek Jeho."
Cho Euntak almost choked on his saliva.
What?!
***
CHO EUNTAK didn’t want to see Baek Jeho yet, but he didn’t want to be an inconvenience to Baek Semin and Hong Sera either.
Hence, he ended up coming out to et Baek Jeho.
Hong Sera and Baek Semin offered to co with him, but he declined.
"What are you doing here?" Cho Euntak asked while he and Baek Jeho were in the elevator. "I got your ssage loud and clear, Baek Jeho. You realized that you weren’t physically attracted to after our kiss, didn’t you? That’s why you ran away."
"No, it’s actually the opposite."
"Hah. If you’re going to lie, then at least make it believable—"
"I didn’t run away— I just left to take care of my business imdiately."
"What are you talking about?"
"I got hard because of our kiss," Baek Jeho said, his face turned red as if he were embarrassed. This brat was born arrogant, so it was strange to see him act that way. "I jerked off in the cinema bathroom while thinking of you, Euntak-ah."
WHAT?!
Cho Euntak was too stunned to react.
Moreover, sothing else distracted him.
Where is this fragrant sll coming from?
