Chapter 14: Strawberry Kisses

Okay, so apparently he decided to write the letter and send it after I had gone out for work.

Jumin tapped his fingers on his desk impatiently.

And the letter hasn't arrived yet.

He looked up for a moment when he heard the door creak, only to find out that it wasn't his door opening, but the door of the office next to his.

I don't deserve this torture.

I could have asked him to write it on the spot while we were still at home...

The black-haired man groaned softly, gaze still fixated on the door of his office.

And I didn't even dare to ask for a goodbye kiss before I rushed off.

He sighed.

And then the door did open this time, and Jaehee walked in.

"Eager, as usual."

She gave her superior a deadpan expression, leaving his long-awaited letter on the desk.

"I am not."

He denied, as he did everyday, and waited until his assistant had left his office to read the letter.

Alright. Time to give today some meaning.

No, it has already been given meaning.

I just need to read it.

So he unfolded the paper and read - as usual.

-

Good morning!

I feel so much better today.

Vanderwood interrogated me this morning, you know?

He asked where I went and what I was doing and complained and complained and complained-

And nagged and nagged-

-It was so annoying...

But as miraculous as it may seem, I don't have any work today!

That said, you wanna go out for lunch or something?

I'll just hang out at the café until you knock off.

Did you know that they sell really nice ice-cream waffles?

Delicious...

But it can't compare to Honey Buddha Chips, still.

Anyway!

Message me your reply, (you know, about lunch) and also about, well, anything else you have to say-

-To this letter.

That said, I'm going over to the café now!

Bringing my laptop, phone and tablet as usual.

Remember to eat even if you don't end up eating lunch with me!

Take your breaks, sleep early tonight.

If you want me to come over, just text me.

And-

Well-

That's all, I guess.

P.S. That's not all...

P.P.S. Well... your-

P.P.P.S. your kisses taste like strawberries...

P.P.S.S. ... that's all.

-

Jumin almost spat out the coffee he was drinking.

My kisses taste like...

... strawberries?

Heat rushed to his face, and in seconds, it was all red.

He... remembers how my kisses taste like?

Jumin's face flushed in embarassment, and he took out his phone to type back a reply.

The fact is... he's not the only one.

-

Morning.

I'm glad you feel much better today; I was worried since you were bawling your eyes out on my shirt yesterday.

Lunch...

Yeah, I'm free for lunch. Let's go.

Maybe about... 12pm? I don't think I have much work today.

I don't really like sweet things.

But the last time you gave me sweets, I ate them all. They weren't too bad.

I don't understand how much of a supply you have of those chips...

And anyway-

Your kisses... well, they taste like pancakes.

I'm just saying, cause I remember.

And anyway, you remember too, don't you?

The taste of my lips...

Wait. This is embarassing. I'm ending the message here.

-

Sent.

I hope he isn't freaked out or anything.

Strawberries and pancakes...

... Doesn't sound too bad.
