Chapter 48 - Step #12 (1/2)
Later that night, they were just about to finish their dinner when Sei told her that he would be leaving YiJin as her body guard and that he would be going with her wherever she went from now on.
”You mean, even when I go to my brother's place and sleep there?” she asked.
”You can leave him outside,” he replied and she could only cough lightly. Davi somehow noticed that when Sei was talking about someone else other than her, he seemed to switch back entirely to his usual stone cold and heartless tone.
He really didn't mean that, right? How could I leave such a pretty little boy outside, in the dark, cold hallway all alone?
An hour later, it was time for Sei to leave. Davi could only stare intensely at Sei since she couldn't perform her kiss and run trick this time, due to her injury.
”I'm leaving,” he said and then he turned his back and started walking away just like that.
Davi was sitting in the lounge, watching his back when she suddenly spoke.
”Uhh… w-wait!” she said hesitantly, causing Sei to immediately turn around. Davi shyly looked at the butler and Mr. Chen indicating to Sei that she wanted him to come closer. ”I have something to say.”
Seeing her shy expression, Sei walked closer to her right away. When he finally stood in front of her, Davi gestured that she wanted to whisper something to him. Thus, Sei bent down and moved his ear closer to her mouth.
However, moments went by and not a single word came out. Curious, Sei turned his face to look at Davi and at that very moment, a warm kiss suddenly landed on the tip of his nose. Well, that was an accident as Davi was planning to kiss his cheek but he turned and that happened.
At that exact moment, the two were both speechless. Davi instantly turned tomato red and Sei remained motionless, staring at her.
Davi was actually in mission mode.
'Step #12; occasionally surprise him with simple little things'
She wanted to at least do something before he left and the only thing she could do in her current state was give him a surprise. Well, that was indeed a surprise, not only for Sei but for her as well!
Realizing their closeness, Davi shifted back as she bit her lip. ”T-take care during your trip,” she shyly said and the man finally moved.
”Mm,” he uttered as he stood up and patted her hair before he walked away and disappeared from her eyes.
…
The next day, Davi suddenly found herself being followed by an old man oozing with majestic elegance, who introduced himself as the new substitute butler, named Mr. Kazuki.
