KANG DANIEL

eunae soon cooked up her 'exquisite' ramen and we sat at her tiny table, eating it in silence. if you could call my staring silence.

i like her. i like everything about her, and i wish i didn't.

i shouldn't fall in love, i shouldn't trust anyone. the moment you trust someone, they'll shoot you in the back.

but i can't help it.

JUNG EUNAE

"danny-boy, is there something on my face? you keep staring." i said and raised my eyebrow at him.

daniel grinned and shook his head. "just admiring your face as you stuff it with ramen."

"you're weird." i said.

"no i'm not."

"you're weird." i repeated, chuckling a little. "does someone have a little crush on me~?"

"yes." daniel replied with a wink.

"no stop that." i said, not believing any of his words. "weirdo."

"stop calling me weird."

"you're weirdddd." i teased.

"and you're cute." daniel said.

"and you're annoying."

"and you're pretty."

"and you're a fuck boy."

"and you're a........................."

i knew what he was about to say, and shot him a glare. "i hate you."

"i'm only kidding." he said. "and you're a kind, loving, and beautiful queen, your highness." he bowed, taking my empty bowl from me and putting it in the sink along with his.

"why do you sound so mocking when you say that." i deadpanned.

"i only speak the truth, princess."

"stop flirting."

"no, i like flirting."

"i don't."

"okay i'll stop only for you."

"good. wait a second –" i squinted at daniel who chuckled. "you sly little–"

daniel laughed. "siKE BOIiiiiii."

i ignored him as i drank water. "you're weird."

"and you're cute."

"stop doing that."

"stop calling me weird."

"stop calling me cute."

"never." daniel teased. "well, thanks for feeding me, grocery girl."

"you're welcome." i said.

"i gotta blast now, catch you later." daniel said standing in front of me smiling.

i smiled back at him. "goodbye. time to be lonely again."

"awwww." daniel frowned. "i would stay with you every minute of the day if i could."

i blushed deep red. "nope, then i'd get sick of you."

"lies." daniel whispered. tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear, then turning away and walking off.

he closed the door, and i let out a sigh, slapping my right cheek.

"i fall for people too easily."
