My Contract Boyfriend
Part 20
The next day…
“Han Kyung, I am so happy that you are back and working.” The manager of Love Café says.
“Well, I wanted to work next week instead, but knowing someone here wouldn’t let me.” Han Kyung mumbles to himself.
The manager of Love Café laughs and pats him on the back. “Nevertheless, I am glad that you are back because he wouldn’t give this position to no one else but you.”
Han Kyung rolls his eyes. “Of course, what can I do with this is best friend of mine.”
“Well, I just came to say welcome back.” The manager of Love Café says. “I’ll be in my office if you need anything.”
“Thanks, Mr. Park.” Han Kyung bows to him. “Thank you for everything.”
“Han Kyung, how many times do I have to tell you to stop being so formal. Just call me, Yoochun. Our age isn’t a huge gap.” Yoochun says.
Han Kyung bows to him and says, “Ne, Yoochun.”
“Good.” With that said, Yoochun walks to his office and closes the door.
-Fifteen minutes later-
The bell was heard when a customer enters the café.
“Welcome, how may I help you?” The young Chinese man asks the customer. He was standing behind the counter as he was cleaning. Therefore, he didn’t see who the customer is.
“Yes, I would like a cup of vanilla latte.” The customer ordered. “And by any chance, you still have the double chocolate fudge cake?”
“Okay.” The Chinese man went to get the customer’s order. “Jae, do we still have your famous chocolate cake?”
“Yeah, it is in the back. I forgot to bring it to the front.” Jaejoong says as he began baking another pastry.
“What are you baking?” Han Kyung asks.
“I’m going to bake something special for the holidays. I want to try it out before selling it.” Jaejoong says.
“Oh, what are you planning to bake?” He asks.
“Umm… I’m not sure, but I want do something with apples since Yoochun brought a lot of apples.”
Han Kyung nods his head. “If you need any help, don’t be shy to ask.”
Jaejoong laughs. “Of course.” Then he looks at the cup of vanilla latte in his best friend’s hand. “Oh, a customer’s ordered.”
“Yeah, he ordered a vanilla latte and the chocolate cake.” Han Kyung says.
“What time is it?” Jaejoong asks.
Han Kyung looks at his best friend, oddly. Then he replied, “It is ten in the morning, why?”
“Oh wow, he is late today.” Jaejoong says.
“Who is?” Han Kyung is curious.
“Well, let me introduce him to you.” Jaejoong cleans his hand with his apron and drags his best friend to the front. “Chullie, you’re late today.”
“Hello to you too, Jae.” The young man who calls by the name Chullie greets him back. “I woke up sort of late today. This is why I’m kind of a hurry.”
“Here’s your drink, sir.” Han Kyung hands him drink. “And here is your cake.”
“Thank you.” The man takes a sip of his vanilla latte. “Well, later.”
“Wait!” Jaejoong shouts.
“What?” The man glares at him. “Don’t you understand that I am running late?”
“Hush, you skip your morning meetings every time.” Jaejoog scolds him. “I just want you to meet someone.”
“Can’t we do this another day?” The man complains. “I don’t have the time to sit around at this moment.”
“I’m not asking you to sit around.” Jaejoong says. “It will only take a minute. Please…”
“Okay, fine…” The man rolls his eyes. “You better be quick because I have to meet a model soon.”
Jaejoong rolls his eyes. “Do you remember I told you that I have a best friend who used to work with me here?”
“Yeah…”
“Well, he came back.” Jaejoong told him. “And his name is Han Kyung.”
“So?”
“Well, Mr. Kim Heechul, I would like you to meet Han Kyung.” Jaejoong pulls his best friend’s arms and pushes him to stand in front of the customer. “So, what do you think of him? Well, he work?”
“Yeah, what are you doing?” Han Kyung hissed at his best friend.
Heechul looks at the young Chinese man from top to bottom and says, “He isn’t that bad. I think he can work.”
“Uh… May I ask what the hell are you guys talking about?” Han Kyung asks, feeling nervous right in front of this mysterious man.
“Oh, my name is Kim Heechul. I am the CEO of the number one hot fashion line in Korea.”
“You mean you’re the CEO for NII.” Han Kyung is surprise to meet someone so famous.
“Yup, that’s me.” Heechul nods his head. “Here’s my business card.”
Han Kyung looks at the business card in his hand. “Wow…”
“Han, I was telling Chullie that you can be one of his model for his upcoming magazines.” Jaejoong says.
“Me?” Han Kyung points to himself.
“Yes.”
“Oh, no…” Han Kyung shakes his head. “I wouldn’t be much of a help. I’ll pass.”
“Why?” Heechul asks. “You’re perfect.”
“Why me?” Han Kyung asks. “You have a lot of famous artist that you can choose from.”
“Well, I want someone with a new face. My customers are getting bored from seeing the same faces. Therefore, I need to find someone that isn’t famous but yet perfect to be a model.”
“Then why can’t Jaejoong do it?” Han Kyung asks.
“Well, I did.” Jaejoong says. “Why would you think this café became so busy all of a sudden?”
“Ah! So you sold your face to get more customers.” Han Kyung comments.
“Hey…” Jaejoong pouts. “I was just helping a friend out.”
“Jae, has everyone who comes to this café has become a friend of yours?” Han Kyung asks in curiosity.
“Well, not all of them.” Jaejoong answered softly.
“Aigo.” Han Kyung rubs his temples.
“So, are you in or not?” Heechul asks, looking at his watch. “You know what, think about it.” He went to grab his things. “I need to go now. This model is going to be hard to handle if things run late on schedule.” When he almost walked out of the door, he turned around and said, “Don’t forget to call me once you get your answer.” Then he gave him a wink and walked a way.
