Mistaken identity. Unreciprocated first love. Worst first impression. All the bad ingredients that connected Qing and Dayu's fate together. Both of them thought they chose the other one, for obvious reasons. But only one of them got it right. The ot...

Present day
Sweet Tooth Café
Dayu's POV
My mobile phone beeped and I took it to read the message, that just came through on Line.
'I've just arrived.'
Wou. He didn't even wait until work hour was done. He was already at the apartment even before we close the café.
'I'm coming in.. We'll go back together...'
That got me frowning. Wait- he's here? Not at the apartment?! Usually he would go straight away to the apartment and waited for me there.
Before I processed it, the door to my office was pushed opened and the familiar 193cm figure of a man walked in.
He's wearing his work attire and he looked so damned good in it. To be honest, Qing looked good in everything but seeing him in his office suit reminded me of how I fell in love with him for the first time...almost six years ago.
"This is a surprise.." I said, as he flashed his smile at me and walked over to where I was sitting.
"Why were you surprised..?" He grinned, as he bent, reaching out to put his palm on the side of my face, and then ke kissed me, "I did say that I would be coming over to see you, on the phone this morning.."
"Not that..of course I was expecting you to come..But usually you'd go straight to the apartment.." I replied, looking at him wonderingly.
"Well..There's no rule that says I can't fetch you here, is there?" Qing winked at me, "I just want to see you sooner..." he took my hands, and casually sat down on the edge of my work desk.
I wanted to ask him, why was it bothering him so much; this talk about his 'ex' coming to see him today, so much so that he had to come and see me personally for this. I wanted to ask, why he sounded mad earlier while we were on the phone. I wanted to know what I did that caused him to feel that way.
But, I knew that Qing came to see me today for that very reason. He will tell me the answer to all the questions that I had in my mind, in due time, today. I didn't have to ask him about them. He'd tell me himself.
"Want to eat out today?" Qing asked, trying to lighten up the mood between us a bit.
"Why..? You don't want to cook..?" I teased him. I realised it, that he probably wanted to be talking about the things he wanted to talk with me, in his best condition. He didn't want cooking or anything distracting his mind off it.
"You know..Cooking for you..and watching you eat the food that I cooked..that's one of the things that I really treasure. You don't even know how much I love it.." he said, in a serious but gentle voice, "but..today..let's eat out.."
