Café Pit-a-Pat - Season 1 (COMPLETE)

Chapter 5

"You breached our contract," Parn accused, her voice heavy with rage.

Fortunately for him, Kimmon had already been prepared for this line of attack. "I didn't. I participated in all six dates, which was the only act required by the contract."

Parn scoffed. "You call that participating?!"

"You never clarified," Kimmon argued. "Plus, remember the provision that I added? I had the right to void the contract if I met someone who I wanted to start a relationship with. I met that someone, ergo I void the contract."

Parn gave back an exasperated sigh. "Kimmon, you really think that I was going to believe the stunt that you pulled?"

"What stunt?"

"The fake boyfriend stunt."

Gosh, why did everyone think that he made up a boyfriend? Of course, they were right, but Kimmon had to take a moment to repent for his past behavior. Because apparently he gave off the image of a desperate fraudster who went to ridiculous lengths in order to achieve what he wanted.

"He's not fake," Kimmon tried to reject.

"Then why didn't you bring him up before? And why aren't you introducing me to your boyfriend now?" Parn snarled. "You're not making any sense!"

Kimmon cringed. "Because we're not ready for that! And I had no idea how you were going to react!"

"Bullsh*t. If you truly have a boyfriend, then you wouldn't have gone out on the dates in the first place. And honestly, by now, he probably would have broken up with you given all the dates that he had to keep crashing."

"Well, you're the one who made me sign that outrageous contract!"

"So now the blame's on me?!"

"No," Kimmon said in a tired voice. "But everything's all settled now, right? You kept pushing for me to go out on all those dates and get married to someone, and now you know why I don't want to comply."

"Introduce me to him. I won't believe you until you do," Parn stubbornly insisted.

"Grandma, I need to go. Let's talk later, okay?"

Before his ears were attacked again by a string of nonstop cursing, Kimmon quickly ended the phone conversation. Letting out a heavy sigh, he rubbed his temples to relieve the massive headache that was forming. He had already known that he wasn't going to be let off the hook so easily, but the confrontation with his grandmother really drained all of his energy.

But Kimmon didn't have too much time to mull over his plans for dealing with his grandmother-wanting-to-meet-his-fake-boyfriend-crisis. Stepping out of his car, he walked over to the group of people standing in front of Café Pit-a-Pat. A grin took over his face when he saw that Tae and Tee were actively engaged in a seemingly comfortable conversation with Godt. Tae and Tee excelled in breaking awkward social barriers and making people feel at ease, which Kimmon hoped was another factor in helping Godt stay at the café for longer. They all turned their heads towards him when he arrived.
