Your POV

"Manjiro, how long do you intend to act like this? You're no longer sick, aren't you?" I asked with a sigh as I look at Manjiro who was enjoying being fed by me, pretending to be sick.

It's already been a few days and he's now free from sickness. He still needs to rest but it's not like he can't lift a spoon.

"Hmm...don't want to." He said and smiled.

Does he have a personality disorder or something? He's so unpredictable.

"Kurutin kita jan eh. Wag ka nga maging pabebe." I said and rolled my eyes.

[T: Want me to pinch you? Don't be so pabebe.]
[Pabebe- It means to act cute, like a baby.]

"Pahbebeh?"

"Nevermind." I said and fed him the last spoon of his food and gave him some medicine afterward.

I'm so thankful that my nursing skills are being used but I'd prefer him not to get sick.

Gosh, gwapo na nga kahit ganto pano pa kaya kung naging super healthy diba? AAHHH MAYGHAD!!

[T: Gosh, he's already this handsome, what more if he becomes super healthy? AAHHH MY GOSH!!]

Ahem ahem, staph. Eto ba epekto ng di pagsisimba?

[T: Ahem ahem, stop. Is this the effect of not going to church?]

"Lulu-chin, are you mad?" He asked, giving me a back hug as he rest his chin on my shoulder while I was washing the dishes.

"I'm not, but if you keep acting like a baby too much then you will lose your cute privileges. I'll also look like a mom rather than your fiance." I said calmly.

"What's cute privileges?" He asked

"It's when you're so adorable that I'd be too weak to resist your requests. I'd be immune from your childish charms." I explained.

"Hmm, so you find me cute?" He asked and my face immediately felt hot.

Ack! Ano ba naman kasing bibig to. Masyadong honest.

[T: Ack! This mouth of mine is so honest.]

"So what if I do?" I asked with cheeks blushing in embarrassment while I look away. I heard him chuckle lightly before coming closer, taking away the empty plate from my hand and setting it aside.

I looked at him confused as he reached for my face and lightly pinched my cheeks.

"But you're much cuter than I am. Is that why I can't resist you?" He asked, looking into my eyes as I looked into his. Though it was as dark as the void, it was for a moment when I saw a small glimmer before he placed a kiss on my cheek.

I was still in a daze while my heartbeat was loud and fast. As I was left speechless, he came closer and wrapped his arms around me while laying his head on my shoulder.

"Although there's really no need for you to work, I can't just say no when it's you." He said.

"Huh?" Unable to grasp what he said because of the emotions I was feeling at the moment.

"Koko told me that your lessons are over since you were a quick learner. So you can start working at the restaurant next week." He said and I finally snapped out of my daze.

A wave of joy and excitement washed over me which made me gasp in surprise as I looked at him with a bright smile.

"Talaga?!! Sure na?!" I asked and he nodded. If my smile could even be widened it would be because of the sense of accomplishment that I was feeling.
