Matchmaker: BOOK I [Y/N X KAI]

✨Chapter 58✨

Taemin nods "Of course, this way, monsieur and mademoiselle."

We follow Taemin back to the counter and Nini pays. It takes every ounce of self control for me not to peek at the price.

"Thank you, Taemin. I'm sure that I'll be back soon enough one of these days," Nini says.

"Always a pleasure, Jongin. And nice to meet you, Niki," Taemin bows. Exchanging a very formal and uncomfortable bye with Taemin, we finally head out and make our ways to the home. He dropped me to my house but he had calls on the entire path, which I'm very thankful to the callers for, because it'd be really awkward to conversate him with at this moment.

Between helping Aria and Luhan and getting organized for the convention, the next few weeks go by in a flash. Before I know it, Piyuu and I are arriving at the Cheonjiyeon waterfalls for the wedding vendor event of the season. I'm quite thrilled for the networking opportunities that Piyuu and I have in this convention. It's just a matter of time to discover how many vendors can we really impress and make connections with.

Whoa, this bridal expo's so packed with people, it's giving Time Square a run for it's money. My mind's blown.

"This is even bigger than I expected!  I think I need a map or something like that," Piyuu gasps.

I laugh, "Maps are overrated. I say we just drive right in. We can wander around the vendor booths and network a little."

"I think I'll just stick close to you and follow your lead," she claws my hand and starts walking with me. And of course, when we're following my lead, we're naturally pulled to the booth with a bunch of cake on display first.

"These look so incredible!" I compliment as soon as I reach near the vendor. I don't know about other things, but I definitely don't have to fake compliments when it comes to such tasty goodness.

"I'm glad you think so. I'm Nancy.."

"I'm Niki, and this is Piyuu. We're business partners but this is actually our very first expo.." I say.

"Then welcome! It's a little overwhelming, and I've been doing it for years," says Nancy.

"How long have you been in the wedding cake business?" Piyuu asks.

"A long time, actually. I first started in college just making cakes for my friends on their birthdays or for my families on special occasions and then I received a lot of appreciation so I thought why not do it professionally? Like that, I finally got convinced to do it professionally. I'm always really inspired by natural ingredients and flower flavours in my work," she explains.

Ooh, bravo, very long speech right there. Now please tell me that we get to sample something just for listening that?

"Here, have a taste!" she says before I can ask. Oh, thank god.
