Chapter 52: Of course. I’d like that
I enjoyed the 'snack' as April called it. Since I hadn't eaten ramyeon for a while, of course, I ended up taking two while Ki-hoon ate one. Once we were done, he was so polite as to wipe the little noodle strand from the corner of my face.
I looked at him to see his affectionate smile and my eyes glimmered. It looked like I had scored more brownie points with the Brute.
"I'm sorry I can't stay over tonight," he said and my insides celebrated.
Ah, he wasn't going to stay over. That means I had the whole night to myself. Wait, I shouldn't act happy. Even if he doesn't stay over, he can at least eat dinner, right?
The cooks and servants are working so hard. It would be such a waste if there was no master to enjoy the delicacy with me.
"But you'll at least stay for dinner, won't you?" I asked and from the look on his face, I could tell he was thinking like, 'Ah, Jo-Pil wants me to stay for dinner. I can't decline.'
"Alright then, I'll leave after dinner." He said and I smiled.
He was so readable only at times like this.
"But will you be okay?" He asked.
"Why?"
"You've already eaten two cans of ramyeon, how much more can you eat?" He asked and I huffed out steam from my nostrils.
