✔ The Handsome Hotelier 🏢

Hotelier 44

I straightened up and smiled to myself, satisfied with how my strawberry shortcake turned out.

Gathering the things I used to the sink, I washed my hands and cleaned myself from the mess I made.

I took a slice and went out to let hyunjin have a taste but he's fast asleep. I silently walked out of the room and wondered if I should just eat it but then I looked at the door of jin's office. It's a weekend so he's around.

I contemplated whether I should bother him. He might be busy... shrugging, I decided to knock on his door.

"Come in." I twisted the door open and took a peek inside. He lifts his head up from his papers and raised his brows at me.

"Cake?" I showed him the slice of cake I brought and he puts his papers down and leaned back on his chair.

"Well, are you just gonna stand there?" I cleared my throat and slowly went inside his home office and roamed my eyes. I'm surprised with how it looks. Definitely not expecting the pale pink with white accented walls.

I turned to close the door silently and jumped when he was already infront of me as I turn back around.

He was eyeing the cake and I rolled my eyes. "There's no poison on it. I was going to give to hyujin but he was sleeping."

"So you didn't have plans giving me some?"

"W-well I-I was going to ask if you want some..." he just stared at me then back to the cake

"You don't believe me? Here." I sloce a bit with the fork and ate it.

"See? Safe." He eyed me again and I furrowed my brows. He looks like he's gonna eat or something.

"Just say so if you don't want it. I'm not forcing you." I grumbled, turning to leave but he pulled my wrist and a hand cupped my cheek then that's when he licked my cheekbone making my eyes widen.

"Hmmm. Strawberry, my favorite." I just froze there, still not able to process if he had actually licked my cheek, but the wetness of my cheek says so. I did not realize there were icing left on my face.

"Thanks." He grins, getting the cake from my hand and sauntering back to his chair like he did nothing out of... order.

"Do you need something else?" He asks, taking a bite of the cake with a smile.

"Aish!" I wiped my cheeks and went out, slamming the door shut. I scoffed and glared at the closed door.

"Eomma?" I swiveled and found a sleepy hyunjin staring at me in a daze.

"Why fighting door?" I just realized I still have my fist up and put it down then smiled at hyunjin, squatting down to his level.

"Did I wake you?" He shook his head and hugged me, burying his face at the nook of my neck

"*Appa eodi?" He cutely pouts at me and I wanted to scoff. Why does he looks so much like his father? (*where's father)

"He's in his office working, why don't you come with eomma and we'll eat some cake?" He gave me toothy grin and I held his hand, leading him to my room.

Hyunjin was sitting on my chair eating his cake while I cleaned up the utensils I used to bake.

"There's my baby!"

"Appa!" Hyunjin quickly abandoned his food to run to his father who scooped him up

I put away the last of my dishes and wiped my hands as hyunjin continued to eat the cake as he sat in his father's lap.

I can feel the intensity of her stares so I removed my eyes from my son and meet his mother's glares

"What?" I chuckled. She puffed her cheeks then rolled her eyes. I know she's not saying anything cause hyunjin's there.

I turned back my attention to our son as he chokes on his food.

"Eat slowly." I gently tapped on his back and rubbed it as he coughs.

"Here, drink some water." Irene handed a glass of water and I took it, brushing my fingers with hers and helped hyunjin drink.

"That delicious?" I asked and he grins, nodding enthusiastically.

"Even if it's the best cause eomma made it, you should slowly ok?" He nods again and my eyes met a still glaring Irene. I chuckled and whispered on hyunjin's ear

"Eomma, sowwy." She was caught off guard and her eyes immediately softened as she chuckles awkwardly.

"It's ok." She assures him

"You not mad?"

"No. Why would I?" She shakes her head

"But you were like this." Hyunjin imitates her furrowed brows and I bit back a laugh. He's so cute! No doubt he's my son.

"Eomma's eyebrows are usually like that. See?" She plays with her brows making hyunjin giggle and I smiled at them.

"Eomma *ppoppo!" Hyunjin puots his lips as he reach for his mom's cheeks. Irene also pouted and they kissed. (*chu)

"How about appa?" I jokingly whined and hyunjin turned to me, reaching his little hands on my cheeks and gave me a peck on the lips too.

"Teehee. Eomma appa!" He claps.

"Hmmm?" Irene stood up but hyunjin held her pinky

"Eodi?" He asks

"Eomma's going to clean your plate ok?" She talks slowly. Taking the plate with crumbs with her.

"Eomma, appa ppoppo eodi?" I hid a smirk and looked at Irene.

She chuckles again "later?" Liar.

"Eomma does not love appa." I faked sadness and almost laughed when she widens her eyes at me but I had to keep the sad act. Who does she think she is for me to get scared with that eye warning though? She's not mom and I'm getting a kiss.

Hyunjin slouches and gave Irene a puppy eye look. She takes a deep breath and leaned down to give me a peck but I held her nape making her squirm.

"Ah!" I laughed, holding my bottom lips where she bit.

"Waeyo?" Hyunjin asks innocently

"Eomma loves appa so much." I chuckled
