Chapter 76 - Gentleman [3] (1/2)

”A cake?” Oh Sookyung enunciated, staring at the dessert placed in front of him.

The strawberry cake was beautifully decorated, and it emitted a mouthwatering odor. One could easily see how meticulously it had been made.

Curving her lips to form a smile upon her face, Moon Jiwoo nodded her head and said, ”Yeah, for you.”

Her words caused Oh Sookyung to let out a chuckle and stated, ”You made it just for me? Why do I find it so hard to believe? Is this a prank or something?”

Shaking her head, Jiwoo answered, ”Nope, this cake was made because of you since I wanted to celebrate you leaving with this. I wanted to originally have this on my own, but I will never be able to finish it. I did not want to waste any food.”

”You are clearly lying,” Sookyung said, ”You are so transparent. Since when did you even care about wasting food? But as it is made for me, I will be enjoying the cake. It looks great.”

”Of course it does. Who do you think has made it? Everything done by me is amazing, and bȧrėly anyone is allowed to have the privilege to eat anything I make. That's why, you should he grateful for this opportunity,” Jiwoo smugly stated, folding her arms across her ċhėst.

Extending his hand towards her, he patted the top of her head and said, ”I never had expected for you to know how to cook. Even if the cake tastes bad, I would not mind it since it's you. It was decorated beautifully, and you get all—”

Before Oh Sookyung was able to continue further, Moon Jiwoo raised her hand and slapped his hand away from her. Looking up at Sookyung, her eyes glared at her.

”Are you ȧssuming that the cake I made tastes bad? If that's what you think, then there is no way in hell I am giving my cake to you. I would rather waste it,” Jiwoo spoke out.

”Silly, that's not what I am saying,” he stated, ”I am saying that I will be satisfied even if it tastes bad because it is from you.”

”See, once again you are pointing out on how the cake might taste bad. I am telling you that there is no way my cake will be tasting bad!” she said, ”You are clearly insulting my cooking abilities.”

”Alright, alright, you win. I won't argue with you further. Let's eat the cake now. I am starving,” he vocalised.

”Sure! But you can only have one slice. The rest are for me. Even if you beg me, I won't give you more,” Jiwoo vocalised while extending her hand towards the candle and lighting it up.

”I can always steal it,” he commented.

”If you dare those ways of yours here, I will kill you,” she vocalised, ”Now, since it is for you, I will give you the courtesy to blow off the candle and make your wish.”

”Make wish? At which age are you to believe that?” Sookyung questioned as mock was present within his eyes.

Hearing his words, Jiwoo raised her fist and voiced out, ”You sure you want to get punched the day before you leave? I don't have a problem creating some new bruises upon your face.”

Shaking his head, his face was adorned with a small smile while he faced the cake and closed his eyes. Although Sookyung doubted that this would work, he made his wish, listening to the childish words of Moon Jiwoo.

'Please let Moon Jiwoo be alive after all of this is over. I don't want her to die for my sake.'

He blew the fire off the candle then. After Oh Sookyung had opened his eyes, Moon Jiwoo stared at him with curiosity in his eyes and had one of her eyebrows raised.

”What did you wish for?” Jiwoo asked.

Oh Sookyung scoffed and stated, ”What makes you think that I wished for something in the first place? This was utterly silly, and there is no way I am going to wish something on this. Even five year olds these day don't believe in this.”

”Yah! You bastard, how can you not wish on it? Since you didn't do it, I will light it up and make a wish on it,” she spoke out, ”You are really hateful, You Jerk!”

As Moon Jiwoo was able to light the candle up again, Sookyung chuckled, and moving his hand towards her, he gripped her wrist in order to pull it back.

”I am joking; I am joking. I really made a wish, but the contents of it is a secret. Don't you know that your wish won't come true if you let others know the content of it.”
