LightBright: Do you know how much this jacket costs? Huh?
Stella: I’m so sorry- I-
Bright: What are you going to do about this?
Stella: I’ll wash your jacket for you and return it to you tomorrow!
Bright: Return it? Are you ing kidding me? This jacket is made in France! My aunt custom-made this for me and look what you did!
Stella: I’m sorry I-
Bright: Do you know how much you owe me? Huh?
Stella’s mind: I’m sure it won’t be that bad. I might have some money I can pay him back with him today. Let me see… *browses through her wallet*
Bright: You owe me at least 1500 baht!
*Stella’s mouth opens wide in shock.
Stella’s mind: What? No way!! If 1 baht equals 36.16 won then 1500 baht equals? * hangs low* WHAT?????? 5 baek 40 man won!!! *grabs head in frustration* I owe him that much money? I’m doomed…
*Stella bows to him hoping he’ll have some mercy on her
Stella: Please please I’ll do anything just let me make it up to you.
Bright: Anything eh?
*Bright throws the jacket at his face
Bright: Hand wash this for me and return it to me tomorrow.
Stella: What? But how-
*Bright doesn’t say another word and disappears
*Stella raises her fist in the air
Stella’s mind: He may be hot but he sure is an
Later that evening…
*It’s dinner time and everyone is enjoying their time together but not Stella. Stella has been playing with her food the entire time and hasn’t said a single word that night.
Dew’s mom: Did something happen on your first day, dear?
Stella: No nothing.
Dew’s mom: Then why aren’t you eating? You haven’t touched your food at all.
Stella: I’m just not hungry I guess. May I please be excused?
*They nod and Stella quietly heads to her room. She looks at the jacket on her bed and groans.
Stella’s mind: How in the world am I going to hand wash this thing by tomorrow morning? He didn’t even give me any instructions.
*sighs* Looks like I just have to wing it I guess. *heads to the bathroom*
The next morning…
*Stella sees Bright talking to his friends. She throws the jacket at his face.
Stella: Here. Here’s your stupid jacket back. Now if you excuse me.
*Stella tries to walk away from him but Bright grabs onto her wrist
Bright: And where do you think you are going?
Stella: Huh? What-
Bright: You said you’ll do anything for me. After all, you owe me 1500 baht.
Stella: But-
Bright: *ignores her* I want you to go get me and my friends 4 iced coffee. Pronto.
Stella: But-
*Bright motions her to go on and she nods. She walks away in frustration.
Stella’s mind: Stupid Stella. Why did you even fall for an like him in the first place?
A few moments later…
Stella: *hesitates* Can I get 2 iced lattes and 2 iced mochas please?
*Stella comes back with a tray of iced coffee and places it on the table. Bright takes a small sip and immediately spits it out.
Bright: What is this?
Stella: Iced coffee like you said.
Bright: Yeah but it has ice in it. I don’t like ice in my coffee. Go order me a new one.
Jake: Dude this is iced mocha. I don’t like iced mocha. I wanted an iced americano.
Ping: This is sweetened. Unacceptable. Where’s my half-sweetened iced mocha frappuchino?
Dan: And why is there no coconut milk in mine?
Bright: Go and get us a new one.
Stella: I already got you your coffee.
Bright: And this isn’t what we wanted. Now go and get us new ones.
*Stella nods and heads back to the coffee shop
Stella’s mind: How in the world am I going to be his assistant? If he doesn’t give me specific instructions and yell at me like that. my life…
*And just like that Stella became Bright’s assistant but little did they know that it was the start to their little love story.
