Joy sat in a café not far from the Seoul Grand Theater, killing time before the show. After sending a message via KakaoTalk, Joy looked up to see her daughter's face smeared with cake.
"I think most of the cake went to your face instead of your mouth." Joy laughed as she took a napkin and wiped her daughter's mouth.
"Mom, this chocolate cake is delicious." Little Bell blinked her big eyes and said, "I want to eat another one."
"It isn't good to eat too much cake. Your teeth will grow worms, and they'll fall off." Joy tried to persuade her daughter.
"But Louis said that when children grow older, they'll lose their teeth and grow new ones, even if I eat less sugar." Little Bell remembered Auntie Irene telling the same thing her mom was saying, and brother Louis refuting her.
That Louis, how can a four-year-old child know such things.
"But if it doesn't fall off naturally, the new teeth might not grow out straight, ah." Joy patiently told her daughter, "And if you eat too much cake you'll grow fat, and no one wants to get fat."
"Will everyone like me if I don't eat anymore cake?"
"Yes."
"Mom's lying." Little Bell looked serious. "Auntie Jennie said that the only thing everyone likes is Chaeyoung, it can't be Rosé."
That Jennie, what is she saying in front of the children. No wonder that Louis's so strange, despite being so young.
"Your Auntie Jennie isn't right either."
"Oh. Can I have another piece of cake?" Little Bell's obsession with cake took precedence.
"...." Joy helplessly stood up. "I'll go buy you another one. Don't walk off."
"Un!" Little Bell nodded happily.
Joy looked around the store. The café was quiet, with no people around their table. Seeing that she could easily spot her daughter from the counter, Joy could walk away confidently.
"Hello, Miss. What can I get you?" The cashier asked.
"Please give me another piece of chocolate cake." Joy said as she looked back to see her daughter munching on her cake.
"Won't be long!" The cashier took out a fresh piece of cake and passed it to Joy.
Joy smiled and pulled out a Shin Saimdang, intending to pay.
(T/N Shin Saimdang is woman in Korean money.)
"Miss, this cake was bought for you." The cashier refused Joy's money.
"Ah?" Joy was at a loss. She didn't see anyone she knew when she looked around.
"A guest thought your daughter was cute so he told us that if you tried to buy another piece of cake, to give one to your daughter." The cashier explained.
"Where's that person?" Joy looked around but didn't see anyone looking at her.
"They already left."
"Oh." Joy couldn't do anything else but take the cake and return to her seat.
Little Bell had just finished her cake when she saw her mom bring her another. She immediately grabbed a small spoon and ate with gusto, her cheeks looking like a hamster.
