Chapter 8
Damned Angel“Are you hungry?”, Daniel asked after we watched the dancing for a while. “I could eat”, I said. Daniel and I went over to the food caravan. “Hey Daniel”, the girl taking orders said with a smile, “What can I get you?”, she asked not even giving me a single look. Why did I already hate her? Daniel looked at me, “What would you like?”, he asked. “What’s good here?”, I asked. “Woojin’s special burger”, he said. “Who is Woojin?”, I asked. “He’s the son of the owner of this stand”, Daniel said. “Well, I guess I will have Woojin’s special burger then”, I said. “Two, please”, Daniel said to the girl who was still staring at him.
“Uncle Danny”, a little kid, about 7 years old, called out. “Woojinnie”, Daniel said giving the boy a hug. Woojin looked up at me. “Hi”, I said with a smile. “Hi I’m Woojin”, he said. “Hi Woojin, I’m Tris, I’ve heard great things about your burger”, I said. Woojin’s face lit up, “I invented it you know”, Woojin said, “Dad says when I’m older, I can help him make it”. “Wow, that’s amazing”, I said, “I look forward to trying it”. “I’m going to go tell dad to make yours extra special”, Woojin said before running back inside the food caravan.
“He is adorable”, I said taking a seat at one of the tables. “Yeah, he’s like the little brother I always wanted”, Daniel said. “Yeah, little brothers are awesome”, I said. “You don’t have any siblings?”, I asked. “No, I don’t”, Daniel said, “I guess that’s why I got so attached to Woojin, he’s such a good kid”. I couldn’t help but smile at the love I saw in Daniel’s eyes. “So how do you know Woojin?”, I asked. “His dad and I go way back”, Daniel said, “But I only just met Woojin recently”.
“Uncle Danny look”, Woojin said coming back to our table with a toy. “Dad got me a train set, will you help me build it?”, he asked Daniel. “Yeah, off course”, Daniel said with a smile. Woojin looked at me. “Will you help too?”, he asked. “Sure”, I said, “I would love to". “Yay”, Woojin said, “When can you come play with me Uncle Danny?”, Woojin asked. “How about I come over this Saturday”, Daniel said. “Can Aunty Tris come over too?”, Woojin asked. Aww aunty Tris, that was so cute. “Aunty Tris has to work on Saturday”, Daniel said, “But she will come over another time”.
Daniel didn't know I wasn’t working on Saturday. I had told Seongwoo I hang out with him and his friends. “Aww”, Woojin said pouting, “Do you have to go to work?”, he asked. “I’m sorry”, I said, “But, how about the next time Daniel comes over, I come with him”, I said. “Okay”, Woojin said heading back inside. “Oh gosh, why is it so hard saying no to him”, I asked. “His cuteness is evil”, Daniel said with a smile. “Any chance you can get off work Saturday?”, he asked. “Uhm, actually, I’m not working on Saturday”, I said, “I swapped with Jennie”. “So you are free?”, Dani
