DanHyo: Cold Stone

Chapter 3: bad morning

DANIEL'S POV

What happened last night? I think I got drunk..when was the last time I drank? My head still hurts but I manage to sit up straight and see a dizzy background. Then I noticed a Samgyetang was placed on the coffee table beside me. With a note beside it saying;

Good Morning Sir Daniel! I left early today but I am now at the office. I decided to cook Samgyetang for you since you're a little hot and can make your mood a lot better. I hope you like it! And here is my number so you can call me anytime: xxx-xxxx-xx. Have a great day! -PJ

How thoughtful...this is the very first time my model did something like this. I thought she would somehow hate me for raising my voice at her. But atleast I get a warm breakfast. Hmm, the taste of the soup was delicious..it's yummy. I wish she could cook for me everyday..

JIHYO'S POV

"Thank you for taking care of our son, we owe you one" Mrs. Kang thanked me but she doesn't have to. His son has done a lot for me, I should be the one to thank. "He's here" Mrs. Kang's assistant was referring to Sir Daniel. Why am I getting nervous? Ugh, these weird feelings. "Good morning Sir Daniel!" I greeted him with pleasure, although he looked serious with my greeting. "Did you eat? How's Jihyo's cooking? She told me she cooked you breakfast"Mrs. Park was eager to know how's the taste of my cooking, well so do I.

"You should join a cooking class. Anyways, I cooked breakfast for myself" Did he really say that my soup was bad? I got offended, but not all people have the same taste. "Mianhae Jihyo for his attitude, but i know that your Samgyetang was good" His mother cheered me up somehow, but I know she's just trying to lighten my mood. "Jakkaman, I thought you were kidnapped yesterday, did you visit the police station already?" Oh yeah I forgot...should I tell them? If I lie, they might not believe in me anymore. Ugh decisions.

"You misunderstood it..it's a long story but you don't need to worry anymore Mrs. Park" Why did I lie?! I wish Sir Daniel didn't even see the incident. Am I basically blaming Sir Daniel for calling the police? I mean he looks sincere and worried..."Mianhae, I'll cancel the report immediately and it was all a misunderstanding" I don't why she feels so close to me, it's just our second day. Well I still need to gain more trust and closeness for some better communication.

THIRD POV

After a few minutes, Nayeon and Tzuyu arrived. Gladly they weren't late, but just in time. The five of them were inside the conference room discussing the product they will endorse. The release of the commercial will be shown this Saturday. It's Wednesday and they planned to advance to schedules, making the models very busy. Each day was occupied by photoshoots, CF for advertisements, and mostly for changing clothes and putting on makeup. Mrs. Park hired a professional Makeup artist and stylist for the models. Apparently, Nayeon is great at makeup, she's even better at the stylist when she gave an example for Mrs, Park. But continues the plan.

After two hours of discussing, Mrs. Park gave them free time and a lunch break. Tzuyu went out first, leaving Nayeon and Jihyo behind because Daniel wanted to tell something important. Mrs. Park left the building, probably getting ready for a business trip with the Gong family in Europe for a week. The two girls were standing in front of their boss who was sitting.

"Let me get this straight. Nayeon you will be temporary secretary, and Jihyo..you'll be my PERMANENT assistant so you are most probably with me" Sir Kang's sudden command surprised me. I saw Nayeon unnie's reaction to. Everything was just fast, because I thought Sir Daniel was going to treat me as his temporary assistant only. "Tzuyu is still young and she might lose her stamina. You girls are older, and enough to handle difficult tasks. Nayeon you may go, Miss Jihyo stay" I smiled at her before leaving, she did the same. I'm scared, what if Sir Daniel gives me more tasks? I mean I can handle the responsibility, but it's unfair for us.

"I know you're surprised but please calm your thoughts running through your mind first" I nodded even though I can't do it. "Jihyo will you be my cook as well?" what? I thought my soup tasted bad. He was underestimating me. "Sir I thought you said that my soup I made for you was..." I can't criticize my own soup! "I know, that's why you're practicing until you make it right. Why am I doing this to you? Why am I making things hard for you? Because I don't like you.." I-i...you made me speechless..why did he even hire me?

DANIEL'S POV

I know what I did was right. It's not that I like her but I want things harder for Jihyo. My mental self wanted to see her suffer, and if that happens, what will be my reaction to it. I have done this to many ex models back then, and they all gave up. I know they're just models, but they need to work more for money! You think smiling at the camera, being beautiful was tiring? No! They deserve this treatment and let them realize I am just doing this for them to be better.

But why hate her? Why hate Jihyo? It's her second day and I'm making her suffer already. I know I'm a cold-hearted person, but when the moment she complimented me, I felt grant and warmth. A one whole single compliment I was wishing for so many years..why does it have to come from you Jihyo? Why does heart feel special after the words you stated? There's no answer for that question yet, until I find out myself. If I become harsh to her, will she hate me? I want that to happen, but I'm failing. She still believes that I have a big heart that needed to persuade someone, but I couldn't. She left me a blank stare, is she sad or angry? "I hired you for a reason...well that's about it. Eat first, come back to my office after" She tried to put up a fake smile, and left. Did she deserve this?

im sorry for this random sadness :'<

btw, "Mrs. Park" should be "Mrs. Kang"
