Chapter 19: Chapter 19

●Daniel's P.O.V.●

As I reached there, Yun-Joon threw a dirty look at me as if I was putting my nose in his important business. I was unsure about what he thought of himself.

Only because Yun-Joon worked in a little higher position than me, he couldn't just become my boss everywhere.

I was taller than Yun-Joon.

As I glared at him, standing over him, Ted and Jee-Hyun were already scared.

Yun-Joon was a little scared too, but he was trying hard not to show it.

"Are you going to decide for her whether she wants to come with me or not ?" Yun-Joon asked while glaring back at me.

I felt defeated by Yun-Joon.

"Right!

Why am I being the guardian of Nuri?" I thought as I glanced at Nuri for some time and then again to Yun-Joon. A smirk appeared on his lips.

"Let her decide what she wants," Yun-Joon said directly, throwing me an open challenge.

Then we both glanced at Nuri, who was standing there with a worried look.

"Do you wanna go with him to visit places?" I asked casually.

Nuri almost said something when Yun-Joon waved his hands in front of me, signalling me to look at him again.

"Why are you scaring her like that ?" Yun-Joon asked, thinking I was forcing my decision on her.

"Why would I scare her ?" I asked with my eyes narrowing at Yun-Joon.

"Because You don't want her to hang out with me.

You already know I am a better person than you with whom she can have more fun while hanging out." Yun-Joon proudly completed his sentence.

I felt bad, "Was I forcing Nuri up until now to be with me?"

I glanced at Nuri, who was silent, staring at us while narrowing her eyes. But I couldn't understand specifically for whom that expression was.

I gave up and turned to the office, feeling the worst.

Suddenly I heard, "Is it even an option ?" Nuri's voice reached my ears.

I spun back to her. Nuri was gazing at Yun-Joon. She glared at him and continued, " Daniel is my friend, and I am going to visit with him."

"Even if the most gentleman comes to give me this offer, I will still reject it.

Because in my eyes Daniel is the most gentleman I have ever met in South Korea until now." Nuri finished her sentence with confidence and glanced at me with a smile.

Suddenly, I felt a warm feeling in my heart. I couldn't understand what that feeling was. I blinked a couple of times, not knowing what expression I should give.

"I am hungry, Daniel. Can we go and eat something now ?" Nuri asked me as she took her backpack, signalling me that she was ready to go.

I glanced at Yun-Joon for the last time as I smiled proudly. He looked so pissed as he glared at me while gritting his teeth. Ted and Jee-Hyun moved aside, making space for us to leave.

I held Nuri's hand and exited the waiting hall as I felt some hungry jealous Fox's eyes on us.

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

We were walking to the restaurant nearby. When I gazed at Nuri's face, her face was red.

"Does she have a fever?" I thought.

I stopped walking. Nuri stopped too and glanced at me with a confused look.

"Why is your face so red ?" I asked, staring at her with worry.

"Do you Have a fever?" I leaned closer to her eye level.

She didn't answer anything.

I checked her temperature with my right hand. She was hot.

"Omo. Do you really have a fever ?" I was now worried.

She shook her head in right and left as if it could fall off her body at any moment.

"Aissshhhh! Stop! I understood you don't have a fever."

"Stop moving your head like that! Ah, this Girl !" I laughed watching her like that.

This girl was something else.

"So, why is your face so red ?"

"Nothing !" She answered while looking down.

Strange! She was behaving strangely. I was thinking all that when She said, "I am starving! Let's go fast to the Restaurant!"

"Of Course! Of course! Aiiiisshhh! my ears! "I said as I tried to forget the strange behavior of Nuri.

We started walking again together.

Suddenly, I felt the grip on my hand tightened. I remembered I was holding Nuri's hand.

She gripped my hand even more tightly. And the sudden realisation hit me.

She was not red because of a fever.

She was red because She was blushing!

A smile appeared on my lips as I understood I was able to make her blush.

I glanced at her again while smiling. She was blushing still, but this time a tiny smile was on her lips too.

So it was from both sides. This good feeling. Right?

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

●Nuri's P.O.V.●

We exited the office, but he still didn't let go of my hand. Again, like the afternoon.

"Should I say to let my hand go?

Will it be too rude?" I thought.

"Omo! Why am I thinking about rudeness?

He already had a taste of my rudeness.

But why am I scared to hurt his feelings now?" I was having conflicting thoughts in my mind.

I gazed at him. Daniel was walking while maintaining a straight posture.

"Why is he so perfect?

He should already try to Act in K-dramas." I thought while staring at him.

He looked so perfect with his beautiful golden-brown eyes, pointed chin, oval-shaped face, and great height. And his body…! oooffff!

Suddenly, I remembered when Daniel came that day to the Police Station with two top unbuttoned shirts.

Still, the shirt was looking so freaking hot on his body.

"Ah! Why am I thinking about all this?"

I glanced at our intertwined hands. And It made me shy again. Suddenly Daniel stopped walking.

"Why is your face so red ?" I could hear the concern in Daniel's voice.

"Do you Have a fever?" He came down to my eye level as he asked.

I didn't answer as I was embarrassed to answer that.

I managed all by saying, "I am starving! Let's go fast to the Restaurant!"

And we started walking again. I hoped he wouldn't ask any more questions.

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

As we arrived at the restaurant, Daniel booked a table for two, and we took out seats. A waitress came and asked Daniel what he wanted to order.

He smiled and ordered his food, and asked me what I wanted to eat.

The waitress again didn't even bother to look at me.

"Why the hell every time I get ignored by the waitresses. Wwwwwhhhyyy ?????" I cried in my head.

"Miss India?" Daniel waved his hands in front of my face.

I came back to reality as I said, "What ?"

"What are you thinking with this much concern, huh?" He smiled as he asked.

"Something, Very serious!" I said as I crossed my arms, making a serious face.

Daniel's face became serious all of a sudden as he leaned closer, "What happened ?"

"I can't understand why all the waitresses ignore me?" I said with a grumpy face.

"Aw?" He made a confused face.

But then Daniel burst out laughing. He was choking while laughing so much. I couldn't understand if I said something that funny.

"Omo! Why are you so funny ?" Daniel said while laughing his ass off.

"What's funny? I have always noticed it."

"They behave so well with you and ignore me as if I am just a decoration here," I explained with a pout.

"Tell me! Do I look Like a decoration?" I asked Daniel while pointing a finger towards me.

After laughing for like 10 minutes, Daniel finally sat straight while wiping his tears. He cried while laughing so much.

"It's because of my charms. Girls can't see anything else when I am before their eyes." Daniel said with a confident smile as he ran his fingers through his hair.

"Really ?" I scoffed.

"That's too bad then." I rolled my eyes.

He let out a chuckle as he stared at me.

"Fine! Tell me, what can I do to make it right?" Daniel asked while smiling the adorable smile.

"Next Time, Let's go to a restaurant which has only waiters, not waitresses," I said those words excitedly.

And I noticed the smile was gone from Daniel's face as he narrowed his eyes on me, "What ?"
