𝐑𝐮𝐛𝐲  just came back from shopping at the nearby supermarket. Seeing Y/n chatting with the 'sugar boy' earlier, she wanted to know what he ordered today. She gestured with her eyes and moved her lips to her younger sister, meaning to ask. Then Y/n responded by giving a signal as well.

Understand Y/n's signal. Ruby takes the raisin bread pudding at the mini counter that connects the kitchen area before taking it to the customer's table.

After placing the pudding on the man's table with a sweet smile, Ruby walked away. she look at the customer's strange behaviour from behind.

"umm... are the spoons and forks at our cafe really dirty? Try to see, everything is shiny!"

"Does he do that because our cutlery looks old?" Y/n guessed

"old? no. That boy is a spoiled brat. Who does he think he is? Is he the king's son? Does he suspect that we want to poison him?" asked Ruby in a low tone while holding back her anger

"He doesn't even look like a king's son," Y/n answered naively. Ruby just narrowed her eyes at her younger sister.

"Does he have mysophobia?" guess Y/n

Both of them exchanged impressions about the strange-looking boy. Although it was slow, Samuel heard what Y/n and Ruby were talking about. Then Samuel raised his head while grinning when his eyes caught the figure of the person he was referring to as his wife and sister-in-law.

"Why you guys have to gossip about the boy?" Samuel said.

Y/n and Ruby didn't meant to gossip about the guy. But his actions of never using cutlery such as Peach Cafe spoons and forks when eating there made them feel strange. Every time he came, the boy took out a bronze colored cutlery wrapped in black cloth from his pocket.

The young man fed the last of the pudding using a Gothic carved spoon and fork as if it were a tool used by the nobility of the European Middle Ages. It looks expensive.

The shining stainless steel forks that are available on the cafe table are left untouched. The pudding was only half eaten, he put the fork on the plate and brought it to the counter.

Y/n and Ruby arranged the groceries they bought earlier into the fridge. They didn't realize the young man was standing in front of the counter.

"Sorry..." called the man when his presence was not noticed.

'Damn! How long has he been standing there?'

"Yes, may I help?" asked Ruby, wiping her hands on the apron. Ruby is friendly. For her, friendly cafe owners and staff are the best way to attract customers.

"Can you add condensed milk? If you don't have it, honey is fine too," asked the man.

"Oh, we have a condensed milk," Ruby replied as she reached for a small glass and handed the condensed milk to the boy.

Y/n just watched the reaction of the man who looked embarrassed in front of Ruby. His voice also sounded a little awkward.

'Did he overheard Ruby and I talking about him earlier?' Y/n said.

Even though his expression was emotionless when he took the milk from Ruby's hand, happiness was clearly shining from his eyes. As if a three-year-old boy who got a candy.

'He really is a 'sugar boy'''

"You're welcome" Ruby replied.

The woman smiled warmly as she watched the young man walk back to his seat. Then her smile disappeared as soon as she was sure the young man didn't see her anymore.

"Why did he ask for condensed milk for the raisin bread pudding?" Ruby mumbled in a low tone,

Immediately she turned and rushed towards the glass shelves that housed the various types of deserts next to the counter.

"Didn't you put sugar in the raisin bread pudding?"

"Huh? I already put it. I put extra sugar tho," said Samuel confidently.

"Oh yeah? I don't think it's sweet enough for the 'Sugar Boy' this boy sense of taste is different from normal people." Ruby said

Samuel and Y/n just chuckled.

"He's really dangerous. He likes too much sweet things. He can get diabetes if he's like this," Ruby said again, shaking her head.

"It's kind of strange, sister... try you take a look at his left hand. It looks like there's a scar."

"Huh? It look like he got bitten by a dog."

"I think it was his own dog that bit him?" guess Y/n

"Well, maybe."

"But it's strange. Why does the dog bite his owner?"

"Who knows..." Ruby said, shrugging both shoulders.

Samuel smiled when he saw his wife and sister-in-law gossiping while sorting out the groceries. Then he walked into the kitchen to try out a new sauce recipe. Such as situation is already not strange to them, that's the daily routine of the Peach Cafe.
