Until I Found Her

The Mini Dreams

'Human! I will accept it if you want to give me those sculptures!'

Raon said in his mind, after Cale had asked Ron to deal with Freesia for him.

The festival was over for the day, as well as Cale's objectives for the day. Now that they're done, he had something in mind to do.

"Hans, is the new patisserie still open at this hour?"

"The new Patisserie?" Hans pound his fist on his other palm. "You mean the Mini Dreams, Young Master?"

'Is that the Patisserie's name?'

Cale hummed.

"I think it's still open. The last time I went there, the shop owner said that they would open until 9 pm when it's festival night."

Cale nodded. They still have time, then.

"You children can explore with Choi Han and Mary, I'm going for a bit with Hans."

Cale was very curious about the cinnamon roll.

"Roksoo-ya?"

Kim Roksoo lift his head up, and saw a woman come in his office while holding a couple of food containers on her hands.

It's Mei Hualin[1], someone who's in charge of infimary Company.

"Hualin? What are you doing here?" Kim Roksoo asked his guest over his mountain of paperworks.

"It's lunch break. And I told you I give you the privilege to call me A-Lin[2]." Hualin said, as she crossed over the room to his desk.

"Then why are you here and not at the break room or the cafeteria? Shouldn't you eat lunch?"

"And looks who's asking, now?" Hualin raised one of her eyebrows. "You don't even take a break and now you're asking me that? You're really..."

"I still have works to do."

"We have works everyday,"

Hualin dragged a chair beside him and took her seat. She began to open all her goods and put them in front of him.

These are lunch with simple dishes. Rice, egg rolls, shrimp stir fry with broccolis and carrots, and sausages. There's cinnamon rolls on one of the container as well.

"I don't have a talent for cooking like I do for baking, so I can only do simple dishes."

It's more than enough.

For Roksoo, who's busy with his work that sometime he forgot to even eat, and often times end up with instant ramen even though he's a decent cook.

There's no time for cooking when he could be doing his work.

So it's more than enough.

He tells her that as well.

"I'm glad, then. You really should eat more, Roksoo-ya. Just because you're tall and all muscels doesn't mean that you're strong and healthy."

She handed him a pair of chopstick and the rice.

"Eat all up, Roksoo-ya."

They eat until there's nothing left. Hualin thrust the cinnamon rolls onto him, asking him to try one of her specialty on baking pastries.

"It's sweet," Roksoo gave his review. "The cinnamon taste blended well with the sweetness. There's also a hint of salty taste of butter, but I think it's good."
