What is Happiness?For the rest of the day, Donghae avoided Sandy. Sandy on the other hand is still pissed.
"Who do you think will back down first?" Jjangmae asked Jinhwan, another part timer.
"I think Donghae hyung. We both know he can't go on living without talking to Sandy noona."
"Okay, you're on."
"How much are we betting?"
"Your salary."
"What?? You can't be serious!"
"You get double if you win, take it or leave it." Jjangmae insisted.
"Fine! You're on! I'm going to win anyway." He confidently said.
"We'll see about that."
"Jjangmae better prepare because he'll lose big time!" Jinhwan thought to himself.
Donghae passed by and a thought crossed Jinhwan's mind.
"Hyung! I'm having a problem with my Literature homework."He said while scratching his head, "You're tight with Sandy noona right? Could you ask her to help me out please?" Jinhwan showed Donghae his secret weapon, his super cute puppy eyes.
"Dude, I don't know." After seeing Jinhwan's puppy eyes, he shook his head and said, "Fine, I'll see what I can do."
"Yes!" Jinhwan is rejoicing internally. "Hello buffet, hello bottomless beer." He's already thinking of the food and beer he'd get after winning the bet.
"Hyung, I trust you!" He did a salute before leaving.
"It's okay Donghae, you are helping someone in need." His little pep talk for himself.
He felt a hand on his shoulder. "Donghae, I need you to run errands for me. Jinhwan is busy with other things so you're the only one available right now." Jjangmae gave him a long list of supplies he has to pick up.
"Sure, no problem." He is more than happy for the distraction.
Jinhwan heard them, "I should've known he won't be playing fair. That cheater!" He thought, though he himself was the first one to cheat by coaxing Donghae.
"Jinhwan!" He heard Sandy calling him. A lightbulb went off in his head.
"Yes, my beautiful noona?"
"Stop being weird and give me a hand here. You do that row and I'll do this." She said.
"Noona, you love me right?" He is changing his tactics.
"What do you need? You can just tell me right away, you know I'll help you."
He thought hard before speaking but then the buffet and his salary ultimately helped him decide. "The manager and I have a bet."
"Okay. What are you betting on? By the way, if it's about money, I'm sorry but I can't help you with that."
"It's not that noona. At least not if you help me."
"Okay, go on."
"We made a bet between you and Donghae hyung. On who will surrender first." He said it so quietly, it seemed he was whispering.
"I want to get mad but I'm tired today so I'll just let it go. So, who did you bet on?"
"As expected, noona is cool! Of course I placed my bet on you! Donghae hyung will surrender first!" They high fived.
"Glad you have faith in me and for that, I'll help you. I won't talk to him until he talks to me first."
"Yay!! Thank you noona! You're the best!" He rejoiced and showed her some aegyo.
"Your aegyo just gave me energy. You know you can always count on me, even if it's not about this, right?" She said in a serious to
