13 | First night 2.2

 

 

 

"You. Why didn't you wake me up?"

 

Daniel was playing with his new toys when Yoona finally called out for him. He put it aside and turned to her.But rather than speaking, he pat his small stomach. Indicating that he is hungry.

 

"You want to eat?" Yoona ask, only to feel her stomach growling as well. Both giggle to hear it. She check on the wall clock, she wasn't surprise anymore when she find it striking six in the evening. So did she sleep a little longer? "What did you do while I was sleeping?" Which made her wonder how did Daniel doing while she did took a nap. In the middle of the filming.

 

"Danny only play." The young boy answered, pouting sadly. "Alone. I hate you for that. Aren't we still in the filming mode? Why did you sleep?" 

 

"Hehe sorry. I just need to have some nap." Yoona sheepishly answered. "But since we are hungry, come to the kitchen. Let's cook." As soon she get on her feet, Yoona didn't even had the chance to step as she end up on the floor, with a loud thud. Good thing and she was able to support herself with her hands on the floor.

 

"Ugh, what the... " groaning in pain, she looked to her feet, she realized it was tied. Then Daniel was in the side, grinning widely. She sent her a devil glare. "You did this?"

 

"I told you Danny only played."

 

"Yeah right, you played with me. Get this OFF my FEET!!!" Yoona literally shouted, wailing at the same time. But to her dismay, Daniel simply stuck his tongue out and ignore her by going back to his toys.

 

Whining, Yoona end up sitting up and took the chancd to untie the tie on her feet. However, it wasn't the tie anymore. She turned automatically to Daniel and the latter giggle to see what he did to her nails. Yes, since they had a wall painting earlier to his room, he uses her nap time to nail polished her nails using it.

 

"Do you like your new nail color Noona?"

 

Yoona fake a sweet but awkward smile. "Yes. They're black now. How sweet of you Danny~"

 

"Thank you Noona. I really enjoy them. Hehehe..." Daniel snickered.

 

"Yeah, I would like to ask you again later."

 

"Really? Should we buy another paint?" Daniel got excites.

 

"NO" Yoona however is not. "We are going to have our meal instead!" She firmly stated before getting up and march her way to their kitchen. Much to her surprise, the kitchen was more than worse than what he did to her. The fruits was all over the floor. Together, flour is spreading.  The pack of jellies she bought for herself was on top of the table, almost empty. But the worst of all worst, some of the small airplanes was all over the kitchen. There is only one thing that came to her mind, "Evil Daniel... "

 

"Hmm? Did you call for me Noona?"

 

The deer shrugged her shoulders. Rather, she reluctantly began cleaning up. Daniel walked into the kitchen smiling proudly to his mess. Yoona eventually tried to get into him, but he quickly runs to the room and securely lock it.

 

"I swear! You are not going to eat!!!" Yoona shouted outside.

 

"I don't believe in you." 

 

Yoona can't help it and kick the door out of frustrations. She hastily went back to the kitchen and ignore the young evil kid.

 

Daniel heard the foot steps - giggles and went out. He proceeds to the kitchen but only to run back when he saw the doe-eyed was about to throw the flours on him.  He snickered and noticed she didn't follow him inside the room. So he went out carefully, trying to make the latter wasn't just around. When he realize she wasn't around, he tiptoed all the way to the kitchen and peek his head into the kitchen. He giggles, watching her cleaning the mess on the table. But he regretted it when Yoona throw him the empty plastic towards his face. Subsequently, running back to the room.

 

Yoona smirked. She took the three more packs and make her way to his close door room. Crouching down, she prepared herself. She can hear some faint snickers inside causing for her smile to cross her features. Upon realizing the open had slightly ajar, she took this a big chance and push the door. Daniel jumped in surprised. But quickly runs. Yet, too late, Yoona got him on his waist and tickles him through the packs she put inside his shirt. He laughs so hard. Yoona didn't just did it, she also tickle him until he dropped on top of his bed. He eventually rolled over and jumped off, attempting to run away, when Yoona blocked his way.

 

"Noona!" He was laughing.

 

"You can't run away from me!" And she was more than enjoying this game.

 

Daniel tried to pass - He was caught on his waist again. "Noonaaaa!! let goooo!!!" But too late. He find himself back to the bed receiving a lot of stuff toys on his face. He covered his face, while laughing away. "Seriously Yoona Noonaaa!! Hahahaha!!!"

 

Yoona stopped and put her hands on her waist, breathless with all the game. She was smiling, somehow. "Do you still want to play?"

 

Daniel can't even say a thing, as he keeps on laughing. He was now holding his stomach, couldn't stop it. Yoona took the last stuff toy and throw it to his face, he stopped and looked up to her with his eyes are innocently staring at her intensely.

 

"What?"

 

"I'm hungry." Daniel pout his lips, changing his facial expressions so quickly.

 

Yoona rolled back her eyes. She was about to grab on him again when the latter took her hand and forcibly pulled her over. She dived on the bed with a bounce. Daniel quickly got two big stuff toys and throw it on her back. Then, she jumps on her back, holding the tip of her shirt to use it as a handle and started to hump.

 

"Run!!! Yoona Noona!!! Ruuuun!!!" Daniel instructed playfully. Yoona jerked and shake her body to get him off. He chuckled and runs off animatedly.

 

"Aish! Dannnyyy You're so deaaaad!!!"

 

 

 

 

[Im Mansion]

 

 

Taking a deep nervous breath, Seohyun shook her hands lightly before she finally took the two plates in both hands. But she put the plates down again, staring down to the two dishes (Roast Turkey with bacon and mash potato + soup), with another nervous smile. 

 

Just to welcome me, why don't you cook for me? I'd like to taste something I haven't tasted. And please, don't take this a challenge. Just a friendly serve for me, ya know. Oh, but I guess there's a little challenge. Just want to make sure my daughter will be full always when you cook for her. That Yoona stomach is pretty picky. Hehe...

 

There was a pout appearing on her face, recalling Mr. Im's friendly words earlier. She nearly want to faint when she heard he want her to cook for him, because she never thought he will ask him for this.

 

"What if... he won't like this?" She got this concern all over her mind. "Aigoo, I hope he's not picky too." Taking another deep breath, she was about to picked the two plates up again when Narsha entered the kitchen, frowning.

 

"Whoa! I thought you're not yet done? It's been 2 hours since you excused to cook for him."

 

"Um, I... I finished 15 minutes ago, Unnie. I-I... " Seohyun couldn't continue her words, due to the amount of nervousness surroundings her heart. She bit her lower lip and pulled the chair to sat down.

 

"What's wrong?" Narsha raised an eyebrow.

 

"Is he still around?"

 

"Of course. He's waiting patiently in the dining room. I thought he's even excited to taste your dish. Wait -- you're nervous?" Narsha slightly chuckled. "He made it clear not to get nervous right? What's happening to you?"

 

Seohyun shake her head. "Honestly, I am not that nervous when it comes to work... to facing guests in my previous job. But to think it's Yoona's father? And basically Yoona is a picky person when it comes to food? I feel like he wouldn't like this."

 

"Okay. So you're not confident?"

 

"I... guess so." Seohyun audibly sighed. One more time, she took a glance of her dish.

 

"You know, if you're not confident... just don't continue."

 

"Why not?" Seohyun frowned.

 

"The food won't be that good if you cook that without any of your confidence and passion." Narsha explained, quiet disappointed Seohyun is being like that in front of her.

 

The young mother bit her lower lip. "I was... I cooked this with confident... actually. I mean, I did what I've learned from our chef to the hotel I had work. I was confident of it... earlier... but now, I wasn't confident that Mister Im will like this. You know, not all people will actually like what your taste is."

 

"He said he wanted to taste something he hasn't right? You should be confident enough when it comes to that. Think of it." Narsha smiled, encouraging the young brunette. "Share what do you think is actually delicious. Mister Im won't mind at all."

 

Seohyun thought for a moment in silence. Then, she made up her mind. She was convinced somehow. "Right, you're so true with that. I shouldn't be... doubting of this... when It was Mister Im who told me he wanted to taste my cook." She smiled, feeling like she had gain a confidence.

 

"That's what I wanted to hear. Now, go show what you've got."

 

"Okay." Exhaling momentarily, Seohyun got up and picked up the two plates. Yet, before she could even leave, Narsha approached her and fixed her bow in her chest. Then her ponytail hair and lastly, her bangs. "Thanks Unnie." she smiled, gratefully.

 

"No need to be nervous, Okay?"

 

"I'm Okay now." Seohyun said with confidence. Though there was still a little nervousness in her heart, her mind is back to normal -- she was confident.

 

"That's good. Come, and let's make him happy with your meal." 

 

Without any reply anymore, Seohyun followed Narsha's lead into the dining room. Upon arriving, Seohyun put a smile, approaches Mister Im and put the two plates in front of him.

 

"Don't tell me the name anymore. I think I will like this." Mister Im said, before Seohyun could tell him the name of her dish. He smiled so friendly and took his knife and a fork. Seohyun stepped backward and watches him slowly munched on the food. He was taking his time, as if he wanted to feel all the ingredients that was on the meat. He had this wide smile when he actually find it good. And to be honest, he felt like eating something from a hotel. It's delicious, literally. "Tell me, are you a chef in a hotel?" he wanted to confirm.

 

Seohyun had a little frown, but slowly smiled when she thought Mister Im liked the food. "Um, Not a chef but... I was one of the maid in the hotel from my previous job."

 

"I liked it. Seriously! And good choice of meat - I haven't tasted this kind of roasted turkey. Nice! My daughter is not reall wrong when she recommended you. Congratulations! And... welcome to Im Mansion. I hope you enjoy your stay here." 

 

"T-Thank you... Mister Im. I really didn't expect you would... " Seohyun can no longer finish her words when she end up agape, watching the middle age man resuming on his meal. He also tasted a little on his soupl, he showed a thumbs up. Giggling, she glances over the other maids including Narsha on the side, they all mouthed 'We have to taste that too'. She made an okay sign and turned to Mister Im again, feeling like her heart had finally beat normally. Her breathing was even that normal again.

 

If Mister Im liked this meal. I'm sure Yoong will like this also. She said in her mind, getting excited to meet Yoona later. As she glanced over the wall clock, she knows by any moments right now, she'll be back.

 

"I so want to stay more to talk about my daughter... but I will have an appointment later. So... is it okay if I'll leave after this?" Mister Im ask, as he looked into Seohyun's young eyes.

 

"It's nothing to me, Mister Im. Besides, there are still a lot of time for us to have a talk about your daughter. So, it's okay. Cooking for you was really a pleasure for me."

 

"No, pleasure is mine." 

 

Seohyun couldn't utter back - when Mister Im flash another smile to him before going back to his meal. She smiled, undeniably. 'His aura is definitely just like Yoona. They're so friendly, kind, and charming. No wonder Yoona is too. But Yoona is so choding. What a big difference.' And unconsciously, she was comparing him to his daughter. Thinking about Yoona's traits seemed interesting for her. She felt like, she wanna know and bond more with her. 

 

 

 

 

[YoonDanny's Filming House - living room]

 

 

"Okay, this is the last time I'm going to ask you - Sleep or awake?"

 

"Awake."

 

Yoona groaned in frustrations. Yet, she can't seem to complain anymore. Daniel seemed hard to ask to sleep so the filming will be wrap up for the day. She was so done already. She had enough of play with the food earlier. And this one, she can't even win over him as well? This is the first time a kid will definitely win over her antics.

 

"Okay, just stay awake - and play there. But why? Why don't you want to sleep now? It's almost 7. Kids should sleep earlier. Do you know that?" ask her, as she feed him with the jelly. The're watching a dvd animated movie, sitting next to each other.

 

"Of course I do, so we will grow up easily and strong. It's just that... I still want to wait for Omma. You heard me earlier in the apartment Noona, I'm going to see my pretty Omma. I'm going to see her tonight. Her work ends around 10, so I basically sleep around 11." Daniel truthfully replied. He also took one jelly from the pack and feed Yoona. The latter looked at him with a bright smile -- he copied briefly before going back to the movie before them.

 

"11... So you will grow down instead." Yoona lamely joked.

 

Daniel smiled at her answer. "I will grow up and down."

 

"No?"

 

"Left and right. Hehe... " Snickered the young boy, as he feed Yoona again. "Ah!" He had a quick yelp when Yoona bit his finger. He wanted to get his revenge, but Yoona got his hand so  quick and bit his right finger again. "AHHH!!!!"

 

"That's for -- AHHH!!! YAH! YAH! YAH!!! STOOOOP ITTTT!!!" Yoona breathlessly blow on her baby finger after being bit by the evil.

 

Daniel quickly jumps off and took the other couch instead. He chuckles and cutely - playfully shoot Yoona with his finger.

 

The doe-eyed groaned but couldn't get her revenge. She end up glaring at him instead, while she held her baby finger. Slowly, the pain is subsiding. Yet, Daniel just ignored and continued on the jellies, while watching the TV.

 

Yoona rolled back her eyes, ignoring the young boy as well. She suddenly felt herself sleepy, she widened her eyes to make herself stay awake. But it once again wanted to close, she seriously got up and widen her eyes. She heard a loud giggle in the side, she stuck her tongue out and went back to her seat, trying not to get drown. Otherwise, Daniel will make fun of her again. But speaking about sleep, she knew how to make things easy. She suddenly had this idea -- getting up and runs to Daniel's room. However, she was blocked by the owner, who was so fast to read her mind.

 

"Hehe, do you know where am I going?"

 

"No! Mickey Bedroom is only for Daniel Hyunoo Seo!" Daniel said firmly, with his full name.

 

Yoona raised one brow in confusion. "Who is Daniel Hyunoo Seo?"

 

"Me." Daniel pointed himself, then stretched his two arms wide, looking up to Yoona with a serious look.

 

"Oh, so basically your real name is Daniel Hyunoo?"

 

"Yes. So can you back off, Noona? Go back to the living room instead?" Daniel instructed with determined look in his face. He so liked his bedroom, so he won't ever share it.

 

"Oh, so Daniel evil Hyunoo should be the name, right?" Yoona teased, giggling in the process.

 

"Evil?"

 

"Tch, Speaking of the evil." Yoona can't be proud of her own words enough. The latter just looked at her with an innocent face. "Fine. Not gonna use your room but--"

 

"NO!" Daniel stepped forward, not allowing the older girl get into his room.

 

Smiling from ear to ear, Yoona crossed her two arms. "Do you want to play my phone instead?"

 

"Chincha? SURE Noona!" 

 

"NO! I changed my mind." Yoona victoriously runs back to the living room, leaving the little kid with a confusef look in his face. She giggles to see the latter freeze on the spot then looked at her with an unmuse look. She took the pack of candy on the coffee table and offered it instead.

 

"Hmhph." Daniel snubbed. He marched his way to the other couch and crossed his arms, not wanting to give Yoona an eye-contact. He focused his eyes to the TV screen. Though really pissed off. He almost thought he can play on her phone again, turns out not. Little did he knows, the latter was enjoying his view. Yoona was silently giggling on the other side, while staring into a sulk kid. She took her phone on her pocket and captured him. 

 

"You. Don't you want to give the phone to me, Noona?" Daniel gives up upon hearing a click on the side.

 

Yoona snickered, taking the phone back to her pocket. Indicating that she won't grant him. 

 

"Omma should know you don't like me anymore."

 

"Whatever you say, kiddo."

 

"Noonaaaa!!!!"

 

"YAH! Don't wail at me! You change my nail color and tied me earlier! That's your punishment!" Yoona stated fact firmly.

 

Daniel giggles but quickly change into a serious adorable stare. 

 

"Stop being so cute sometimes, ya know."

 

"I didn't say I'm cute."

 

"BUT you ARE!"

 

"Oh. Hehehe... "

 

"Geez, I'm going to sleep now." without any further ado, Yoona runs to the bedroom, as fast as she can earlier. She quickly locked it and pressed her ear against the wood door. Daniel didn't say it coming and was late to chase.
