The birds chirped monotously keeping a certain girl in pastry suit company as she strolled around town to her beloved patisserie who appeared to be in a very good mood about herself as usual. What's not to like about her anyway? She's a ten and nothing can top her. The thought of her majestic self made her dark brown orbs gleamed in pride and lips curving into a wide bright smile.

Nevertheless, her exuberant aura vanished in a blink of an eye as soon as she stepped into the Shin's Bakery. Her wide bright smile that was full of pride was now replaced with a grumpy look. The sight of her two fractious chefs having a disagreement over something imbecile with her other frivolous chef recording the iconic moment on her phone. Ryujin leaned onto the kitchen frame, watching the live drama between Chaeryeong and Lia.

"What the hell, Lia?! How the fuck are we going to fix this?"

"Listen. I'm sorry, okay? It's not my fault that it's so hefty and the sugar excessively spilled into the mixture."

"You could've asked me or Yuna to help you with it. God didn't made you a mouth for nothing, you dumbass! For once, use it to implore for our assistance instead of only make that foul mouth of yours full with junks."

Lia gaped her mouth open in stupefaction upon hearing Chaeryeong's critical comeback while Yuna had totally lost her shit shaking at the corner, trying hard to resist herself from bursting into booming laughter.

"Fuck off, Chaeryeong. At least I'm able to do what I'm good at on my own."

"Which is making me and Yuna working our asses off extra hard to clean your fucking mess."

As ludicrously absurd as it is, Ryujin decided to meddle in their affairs before things got more tempestuous and worked up between her two now choleric chefs. "Show's over guys! For real, stop fighting like a married couple getting divorce on court now."

"Tell that to her dumb face, boss. What are we going to do with this diabetic dough, now?"

"I swear to God, Chaeryeong-"

"Alright, angry cinnamon roll! Lemme just take this away and we can all make a new one later. Chef Yuna is ready to save the day!"

The junior chef snatched the bowl from Chaeryeong and dispose its content into the trash can nearby once she saw the infuriating flame in her senior's eyes who was so ready to throw hands on her nemesis. Chuckling nervously she took Lia by the hand and walked out the door yelling an excuse."I'm taking her with me for a break before someone dies. I figured its best that I only get rid of a diabetic mixture and not a body. We'll be back soon, boss!"

Ryujin nodded her head and hummed a response at the duo who was now gone from her sight. She turned to face the stressed chef with arms crossed over her chest. "Take a thirty minutes break to ease your anger. I expect for you to come back emotionally stable later and not be on each other's throat anymore." Chaeryeong bowed a bit before disappearing through the back door leaving her boss standing alone in the kitchen, thinking to herself.

Undeterred by the squabble between the two, Ryujin was now back to her usual self feeling potent and gratified over the thought of her majestic pastry skills. The loathsome event happened earlier faded when a certain cat eyed girl occupied her frame of mind leaving her in cloud cuckoo land. She decided to bake a special treat for her lover in celebration of their reconciliation. "I can't wait to come home to you later, Yeji."

Time travelled fast for her ever since she busied herself, baking her finest brightly coloured cream cake topped with fresh strawberries. Lia engaged herself with the customers, suggesting their highlights from time to time meanwhile Chaeryeong bake more breads with the help of Yuna. Things are doing adequate for Ryujin's satisfactory for once to see her chefs actually did something for her patisserie other than goofing around and picking unnecessary fights with each other.

Packed securely in a cake box, Ryujin made up her mind to leave a bit early than the others. Her impatience was no longer controllable, she misses her girl so much. Sauntering merrily with the box held in one hand whilst the other holding her chef hat. Even so, her pace slowed on its own and came to a stop once she saw a man embracing Yeji warmly.

As if time has been stopped, Ryujin's heart sank over the sight of Yeji being happy with another. There are so many presumptions and thoughts came rushing in about the latter that provoked a raving storm in her. Never once she thought that Yeji would do such thing to her.

Never once she thought that Yeji would cheat on her.
