Ye Seul blushed slightly, her eyes shifting to the cake as she spoke proudly.
“Isn’t it pretty? I’ve tried to capture the ethereal atmosphere of a winter forest. I hope that while cutting this cake with family or a lover, many stories come to mind.”
Si Heon watched Ye Seul, who was holding the cake like a fairy tale, with infinitely warm eyes.
Si Heon was so engrossed in her story that he didn’t even notice that his gaze was fixed on Ye Seul, not the cake.
“The finished product is more fantastic. You’ve worked hard, Chloe.”
After several revisions, the design was finalized.
Ye Seul stuck a reindeer in the forestlike cake.
In the end, by putting gold powder in the reindeershaped chocolate, it gave a luxurious feel that was different from the initial design.
On the antlers and back of the reindeer, white chocolate was placed as if snow had piled up.
“I should take a picture.”
“Kim, the deputy, came with a cameraman earlier to take photos for the advertisement.”
“It’s the first Christmas cake of Seedu Core to celebrate.”
Si Heon pulled out his phone.
“I like that it’s the first work I’ve done with Miss Ye Seul.”
He repeated the words, the first work we’ve done together.
Ye Seul liked Si Heon’s honesty when dealing with chocolate.
She was intertwined with Si Heon in many ways, but among them, she wanted to repay the insight of Si Heon as a business partner who purely recognized her skills and trusted her to carry out the business.
Wearing Seedu Core’s uniform, Ye Seul extended her lips in a serious expression and brought a knife to the cake.
She stood up straight, feeling Si Heon’s serious gaze watching her.
Could she be nervous just because Si Heon was watching?
When the cross section of the cake was cleanly cut without any breaking or smearing, Ye Seul gave a pleasant smile.
“The inside also looks good with the color combination of chocolate cream and pickled fruit.”
“It’s like a gem buried in the soil.”
“Chloe. Your imagination is really…… You’re a pastry chef indeed.”
Si Heon looked at the cake made by Ye Seul as if he was spellbound.
The world created by Ye Seul was sweet and warm.
It seemed like there was an unknown area that Si Heon didn’t know about in that place.
There was a desire that could only be satisfied with chocolate, which someone had forbidden Si Heon.
“Do you remember when I said I wanted to be a pastry chef?”
“Yes. Instead, you said you became the owner of a big bakery.”
Recalling Si Heon’s unexpected dream, Ye Seul laughed.
“Indeed, it was wise not to do it. Now I am the owner of the bakery, and I feel at ease. I realize this talent is not something anyone can possess.”
“I, on the other hand, don’t have much talent when it comes to selling.”
“Making money from these impressive pieces of art is my job. Luckily, I have the talent for that.”
Si Heon said with a smile.
Ye Seul felt as if yesterday’s awkwardness had disappeared in an instant.
As they looked at the sweet Christmas cake and shared their narratives, like a family or lovers, she felt her heart warm and fuzzy with their conversation.
Ah, I truly love doing this.
“Try it.”
Ye Seul held out a piece of cake on a plate with one hand to Si Heon.
Si Heon overlaid his hand on Ye Seul’s, brought his mouth to the end of the fork.
Ye Seul, who was holding the plate and fork, looked up at Si Heon, somewhat frozen with surprise.
Si Heon, lowering his head, ate the cake with a downward gaze.
As he subtly licked his lips, Ye Seul watched his face as if time had stopped.
She felt her heart race as she became aware of the warmth transmitted from Si Heon’s hand.
Why is this happening?
Ye Seul recalled what had happened in bed yesterday.
Si Heon pulled up the blanket to his neck, covered her, and went to sleep as if he didn’t feel any attraction to Ye Seul.
She felt strangely upset as if something was missing.
She couldn’t take her eyes off the man who was savoring the cake she had made.
Even though it was a brief moment, to Ye Seul, it felt like an eternity.
She thirsted for those lips that had consumed her cake.
Ye Seul pinched the back of her hand as if trying to come to her senses.
Perhaps, she wouldn’t meet anyone else who enjoyed her chocolate as much.
That alone could explain her attraction towards Si Heon.
Just that.
“Did I get something on my face?”
The man who was enjoying the chocolate cake asked Ye Seul.
Ye Seul realized that she had been staring at Si Heon’s face and turned her head.
“No… I was just watching because you seemed to enjoy it.”
“The balance is good, neither sweet nor bitter. It’s not rich… I feel like this quantity is not enough. Let’s work a little harder and run an additional reservation promotion.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Ye Seul covered her reddening neck with her hand.
“Even so, I’d like to avoid working overtime… But if the CEO wants, I’ll work hard.”
“Thank you.”
Si Heon smiled softly.
“The anticipation for the reveal of Secret Cake tonight is high. The response on social media seems like it will be fiery.”
Si Heon’s voice sounded slightly excited.
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
