Chapter 15: Chapter 15

●Daniel's P.O.V.●

I didn't know how to express my thoughts as I saw Nuri pulling out the container over her head.

Nuri said with a frown, " I can't cook !"

It was the exact reason when I should be mad at her for messing up my precious kitchen. Moreover, I was annoyed by the thing Nuri did this morning.

But as soon as I saw her pulling out the flour container from her head, I felt I could just die, laughing.

All the anger just melted away only by seeing her like that, and I burst out laughing while covering my mouth.

I made my way towards her slowly.

"What did you do here, huh ?" I asked, smiling.

Nuri glanced up at me with her flour-filled head.

"I wanted to make scrambled eggs and toast for you, but--" She explained as she seemed upset.

"But ?" I asked in a cute voice.

"I messed up. Who keeps salt so high, huh? " She started crying while explaining.

"Oh My Gosh! Save me from this little cute thing! Or else I am going to die because of her cuteness." I thought, smiling at her.

"Why didn't you tell me that you can't cook ?" I asked, staring at her flour-filled white face.

"You said you would kick me out if I don't cook. That's why." Nuri answered while crying.

Awww. I tried to dust off the flour from Nuri's hair.

"Go and take a shower again. Stupid." I smiled at her cuteness. Nuri finally stood up, holding me.

"Then breakfast?" Nuri asked, giving a confused look.

"You don't have to think about that. Go and take a shower. " I replied.

She nodded her head in agreement and started moving out of the kitchen. But soon, I saw her slipping.

I rushed to save her, and we ended up falling into the kitchen floor. And again, Nuri was on top of me, staring into my eyes.

"How Can you manage to be in danger all the time?" I asked, chuckling.

"The egg!" Nuri replied.

"Egg ?" I raised an eyebrow.

"An egg dropped on the floor, and it broke. I thought I would clean it up after making breakfast. But The flour container landed on my head." Nuri explained, still lying on top of me.

"I think I slipped on that egg." She added.

"And then you landed on the top of me ?" I said, teasing her.

As soon as I said that, Nuri realised she was still on top of me. She tried to move away, but I hugged her tightly. She glanced at me while narrowing her pretty eyes.

"Daniel?" She complained.

"Yes?" I answered.

"I am not falling anymore. You can leave me now." She ordered.

"What if I let you go and you make a new blunder and invite danger again?

It's your habit anyway. " I chuckled, gazing directly at her eyes.

Nuri pouted and looked away for a second. Then she ordered again, " Leave me !"

I immediately let her go, and Nuri ended up hitting her head on the kitchen floor.

"Ouch!"

"See! I told you." I laughed again, watching Nuri rubbing her forehead as she stood up.

She pouted and escaped the kitchen to the bedroom in embarrassment. Then I turned around and realised I had so much work today apart from making breakfast. I heaved a sigh.

●Nuri's P.O.V.●

I took a shower again. As I wore a light pink dress, I checked myself in the mirror.

Okay. Not bad. Just needed to fix the messy hair.

I started brushing my hair when I noticed a little piece of paper behind the mirror. I pulled it out. It was a picture of a girl looking like a goddess and Daniel. Side hugging each other.

And that pic was ripped off from between as someone did it in anger. The picture was almost destroyed, but the faces in the picture could be recognised easily.

"Who is it ?"

"Daniel's girlfriend ?"

Looking at that picture's condition, I was sure it was an ex. And they ended up bad. Really Bad.

I folded the pic again and kept it in my backpack.

I didn't know why but I felt I would need it in the future. Suddenly, I got a call from my mom. I needed to manage it all.

I received the call and talked like nothing happened in these two days.

After talking to mom, I hung up the call and went downstairs to check on Daniel. As I arrived there, I saw the dining table was already prepared with the food. Sunny Side up, perfect toast and juice for both of us.

Daniel was talking to someone on the phone when I took a seat. After disconnecting his call, he glanced at me and asked, " Do you like breakfast, my Queen?"

"Omo! You can cook? That's so cool!" I complimented him. He smiled and took a seat opposite me.

"I mean, what can you not do? Fighting, cooking, rescuing people from dangers. You're simply awesome!" I said, being excited.

"Excuse me ?" He said, raising an eyebrow.

"What?"

"Rescuing people from dangers? Me ?" He asked with a serious face.

"Yeah, you rescued me three times already." I smiled as I explained.

"I rescued you, that's not mean I would do it for everyone or I do it for everyone!" Daniel stated, glaring at me.

"Well. What does that mean? " I asked.

*************

●Daniel's P.O.V.●

"I mean, what can you not do? Fighting, cooking, rescuing people from dangers. You're simply perfect." Nuri said, excited.

"Excuse me ?" I said, raising an eyebrow.

"What does she think? I would do it for everyone?" I thought as I glared at her.

"What?" She asked casually.

"Rescuing people from dangers? Me ?" I asked with a serious face.

"Yeah, you rescued me three times already." She smiled as she explained.

"I rescued you, that's not mean I would do it for everyone or I do it for everyone! " I glared at her.

"Well. What does that mean? " Nuri asked.

"Why is she so stupid? Why god? Did you forget to put a brain in her head?"

Wait, but the question is good.

Why do I care for her so much?" I started having conflicting thoughts in my head, "I fought a robber for her, knocked down a kidnapper, Bunked my office for her, and now I'm letting her stay in my apartment. Why am I doing this all for her?

I wasn't kind at all. Then why?

I shifted my gaze towards Nuri again, who was now eating her breakfast peacefully.

Suddenly she looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Wait? Do you mean I'm special to you ?"

"No," I answered while avoiding her gaze.

I didn't know if I had said the truth or not. But right at that moment, I was not going to surrender.

"Yeah, right !" Nuri shook her head.

"When are you coming back, Daniel ?" She asked, concentrating on food.

"7 pm. Or earlier. " I replied casually.

"No way! Then what am I going to do here alone until then?" She placed her fork down.

"Just go and visit the places you wanted to visit," I suggested.

"Where?" She asked, crossing her arms.

"Anywhere you want," I said.

"Anywhere ?" Nuri reconfirmed my words.

I nodded as I started drinking my juice. Suddenly Nuri said excitedly, "I wanna go to your office with you!"

I choked on my juice when I heard that.

"What?"
