Chapter 20: Chapter 20

●Nuri's P.O.V.●

"What ?"

Daniel's smiling face turned into shock as he asked that.

"Wae? Why should you have all the fun ?" I laughed so hard, watching him like that.

"Am I having fun here?" Daniel said while making the eyes in a straight line.

He looked so funny as he narrowed his eyes on me for 2 seconds and said, " Stop thinking bad things, okay? you're already a danger magnet."

I controlled my laugh as I saw him making his face like an angry grandpa. Suddenly, I remembered that I needed to talk to him about his leave because I wanted to visit the places.

"Can You take leave from your office? I only have eleven days left in South Korea."

Daniel's face became sad. I couldn't understand why?

"Omo! Does he love his Job that much? Ah! I think I am troubling him too much." I thought, staring at him.

"You know Daniel... It's fine.

I know you have the pressure of your work." I said with guilt in my voice.

" What Do You Mean? " Daniel glanced at me.

"Are You really planning to go with Yun-Joon ?" He said with an angry and demanding voice.

"What?" I was confused after hearing that sentence from Daniel.

"Wait ! is he jealous?" The realisation hit me all of a sudden as I glanced at Daniel.

His face was straight and demanding, like a jealous boyfriend. Haha, Cute. I couldn't control my laugh at last and burst out laughing again.

He thought I wanted to visit the places with Yun-Joon. Haha.

"What is so funny ?" He asked in a heavy voice.

●Daniel's P.O.V.●

"Can You take leave from your office? I only have eleven days left in South Korea." Nuri said those words casually.

But the words hit me hard as I realised Nuri could only stay for more Eleven Days here. I felt something breaking inside my heart. Only Eleven Days.

I had only Eleven more days to be with her. Only Eleven more days to see her, to talk to her, to tease her. I took a deep breath.

Only Eleven days left to keep her to myself.

Suddenly Nuri spoke up, "You know Daniel... It's fine. I know you have the pressure of your work."

I glanced at her with confusion and anger. What did she mean?

"Why is she saying this to me? She doesn't want me to come with her? Why?" I thought, "I finished all my work only to go with her. Why is she saying all this?"

"Wait. Is she- Is she planning to go with Yun-Joon for real ???" Now I was scared.

I felt a sharp pain in my heart as I thought about that. I looked at Nuri and as I tried to find the answer in her eyes. But her innocent brown eyes only distracted me. Finally, I controlled my feelings as I asked, "What Do you mean? "

Are You really planning to go with Yun-Joon ?"

The words came out very rude. I hoped that Nuri wouldn't get hurt.

But to my surprise, Nuri burst out laughing. I blinked a couple of times wondering, what was the actual matter.

"What is so funny?" I asked with confusion written all over my face.

"You are cute!" Nuri replied while laughing.

"Wait! What? Did she just call me cute? No way! I am sure I heard wrong. But it felt real." I thought.

"Did You just call me cute ?" I tried to make a cold and annoyed face.

"Yes, You are! " Nuri again replied, still giggling.

"Oh no! I can't keep my cold face now. I have to make an annoying face anyhow. Control Daniel. You are a strong man. You can't melt by one word of A girl. Come on." I was dwelling in my mind.

But finally, I couldn't keep a cold face and started smiling because I was feeling so good all of a sudden.

"This girl will be the reason for my death one day." I thought, smiling like an idiot.

I couldn't control myself near her. These vibes were incredible, which she gave me all the time.

Finally, I gave up and smiled, staring at her. And Nuri started laughing more while watching me smiling like an idiot.

When She stopped laughing, she glanced at me and said, "Actually, You have so much work. That's why I am concerned if you can go with me and make a little time for me,"

"I don't want to disturb your daily life with my problems all the time." She gave a faint smile.

"If she knew I had finished all the work only to spend all the time with her, what would she say? I wonder." I thought as I shook my head.

"Stupid Girl. I wish I could tell you this. But My ego is stopping me every time from giving up entirely. I don't know if it's right or not, but I can't show my side to you right now." I said in my head.

"It's Fine. I got leaves for a few days too." I said the half-truth.

She narrowed her pretty eyes on me, "Are you teasing me? Daniel ?"

I smiled. Nuri did not believe it. Haha. As I thought.

I understood I needed to lie to her so she could believe it.

"It's true. That day I missed my flight. Boss gave me leave until they come back."

"Only some works were pending. Hence, I went to finish them for two days." I tried to sound as convincing as possible.

Nuri's Eyes sparkled like stars.

"Omo! Really ?" She said excitedly.

I nodded while smiling. Nuri almost jumped in happiness. But when she remembered that it was a Restaurant, She stopped halfway through and sat again on the previous seat.

I laughed, watching her, "These days are going to be great. I can tell by the Trailer."

She giggled as she said, " Your Boss is so good. I wish I had a boss like yours."

"Ah! Wow. My boss. Yes. That son of a *****." I tried not to think about him further.

"Yeah! He is cool." I said while faking a smile.

The food appeared. The same waitress came to the table and served our food.

"맛있게 드세요."

"【Enjoy your meal.】" The waitress said while smiling.

Again she ignored Nuri.

"Nuri is going to be sad again about this and would want to go to the Restaurant where only waiters work.

Ah! Why ?! What to do?" I was worried.

Suddenly, I felt the waitress pass something to my side. It looked like a piece of paper.

I opened it and saw it was a phone number.

"Did she just give me her phone number? Freaking shit." I narrowed my eyes on her as she just turned to leave.

"여기요?"

"【Excuse Me? 】" I called the waitress back.

She turned back and glanced at me with red cheeks.

"Ewwwwww. Cringe.

Okay! Do it already, Daniel." I thought as I started feeling awkward.

Nuri also glanced up at me, waiting for my next sentence.

"제 여자친구한테 먼저 물어봐 주시겠어요?"

"【Could you ask my girlfriend first?】" I said, pointing my index finger towards Nuri.

"Aw?" The waitress said with a confused look.

"네…말씀하세요,"

"【Yes…Go ahead】," I said as I smiled.

She bowed her head. Nuri was confused by the whole situation as she was confused by our Korean conversations.

The girl finally said sorry as she ran somewhere else from our table. The crowd around us started whispering. Nuri was still confused.

"What just happened?" She asked casually while eating her noodles.

"She gave me her number," I showed her the piece of paper the girl gave me.

Nuri started coughing.

"Omo! Omo! Drink it!" I passed the glass of water.

After drinking water, she glanced at me.

"And What did you say to her, pointing at me?" Nuri asked while patting her own head.

"I said, ask my girlfriend first," I answered while smiling.

"What the h---" She couldn't even finish her sentence and started coughing even more.
