Chapter 1023 – Emotion Cafe

Demon King and Sehee denied it, but their parents were rich. In particular, my father, who is my father-in-law, owned a large mansion-like house, as well as being the president of a mercenary company and several buildings.

“Hey, do you remember this place? You’re trying to lay the back of your head here. With bricks.”

“What. Did you know?”

“How on earth did you guys come to have romantic feelings? I am very curious.”

“That’s right! Please tell us!”

The building we are heading to now was one of my father’s. But here it was a little different. It was near the university we attended, and it was also the building where the demon king and I fought to death with bamboo swords.

“Hmm? Do you want to hear it?”

Se-hee and Min-a couldn’t come because they were busy with work, but the demon king responded to the conversation between Tae-yeon, who was off, and Yena, who was relaxed after the final exams.

“That’s what you mean.”

“Hey.”

“Haha, that’s fine.”

Even if it was okay, turning around and walking backwards seemed too risky. As I approached with the thought of supporting me if I fell, the demon king started talking.

“The moment Jiheon saw Jim, I was blown away! And I fell in love at first sight.”

“What?”

“If I don’t meet Jim, I will die. Please, please, I begged you to date me just once.”

“When did I?!”

Now and then, the Demon King was so beautiful that any man would fall in love at first sight. But I never asked for a date, rather, the person in question broke into my room and dragged me out.

“I heard you tried to cover it with bricks earlier?”

Hehe! Lie.”

Fortunately, Taeyeon and Yena did not fall for that blatant lie. Of course, it wasn’t the demon king who would accept it right away.

“Hmm? You! Jiheon! Come on tell me! The moment I saw Jim, I was blown away! You fell in love at first sight!”

“It’s not.”

“You?!”

When I refused with a single knife, I was shocked with a somewhat exaggerated attitude. Then, the demon king quickly laughed and turned around and walked away looking forward again.

Haha! Do you remember your memories with Jim well?”

“You remember it in a completely different way.”

“A burden? What about Jim?”

“You. Yes you Yes, you.”

Widely

The Demon King stared at me with his blue eyes wide open in a bold yet cute way. She was so lovely that he lightly tapped her on the shoulder and smiled softly.

Haha.”

There was no way he wouldn’t notice my smile when he was right next to me. The demon king, who smiled a little sideways, looked ahead again without lowering the corner of his mouth.

“Yena. Jiji, Jiji.”

“Wuck.”

“Yena?!”

“You-all?!”

Although Taeyeon and Yena, who were watching us from behind, were disgusted.

“Ummm, over there.”

Anyway, walking through the alleys, we arrived at the villa at our destination. Normally, I would have gone straight to the stairs and went to the empty kendo hall, but the place I was going to was the cafe on the first floor.

“Ohhh, that doesn’t look too bad.”

“It must have cost quite a bit to set it up here.”

“Mom. Mom. Take a picture of me.”

There used to be a convenience store on the first floor of this building. However, as the business went out of business, a cafe opened, and I came here once because I was curious about how popular it was on social media.

“It’s neat.”

I didn’t know it well, but it looked pretty. The wooden exterior was painted with green paint to convey a soft sense of stability, and the white swing chair placed on the terrace gave the feeling of being a shelter in the city.

“Mister! Mister!”

While looking at the pretty exterior before entering, the excited Yena grabbed my sleeve and shook it, calling it cute. I looked down and said with a much prettier smile than at the cafe.

“Mister! Let me take a picture over there!”

“Oh, is that so? Now, go sit down.”

“No! Uncle come with me too! Hehe!”

Jena didn’t let go of the sleeve of her clothes she was holding and tried to drag me. I was flustered and followed him awkwardly, then looked back at Taeyeon.

“Go quickly. Your daughter is coming.”

“Uh? Okay?”

Haha, just sit down quickly. Beautiful, well taken! With bricks!”

“What if I take a picture with it!”

Since the child’s mother had given her permission, she went up to the terrace, pointing out the demon king’s nonsense. Then she sat down next to Jena in a white shade chair and waited for the photo to be taken.

“Come on, daughter! Daughter! Smile! Look at mom, smile!”

Hehe! Smile!”

When Taeyeon, her idiot daughter, spoke while holding her camera vertically, Yena smiled broadly like her mother and shook her feet.

-Click!

Jingle jingle

As soon as Taeyeon heard the shutter sound of her phone in her hand, the cafe door opened. The person who poked his head out while ringing the bell on the glass door was a man about my age.

“You can’t sit there.”

“Oh yeah?”

When she was told not to sit down, she quickly stood up and looked around her. But everywhere she looked, she couldn’t find a sign saying not to sit down.

“I-I’m sorry.”

Even so, sitting idly wasn’t a good thing. When I nodded her head and apologized, Jena came down from her chair, bowed to her belly button, and apologized deeply.

“Resurge ah.”

Baby, you’re cute

Any human being with a heart would not be able to do without a hearty smile.

“… Please be careful.”

However, this man seemed to be a psychopath without a heart. He or he was a non-human alien.

“Are you coming in?”

The man who had been accepting the apology indifferently asked as he opened the door further. I was a bit hesitant to see him being quite indifferent for an employee, but Mawang and Taeyeon, who were standing outside, readily smiled and nodded.

“Yes. Excuse me for a moment.”

“Come in, daughter. Her mom took a pretty picture.”

“Hee hee, really?”

Even Jena smiled and tried to follow in, but I couldn’t help it either. The staff member raised the corner of his mouth a little after seeing the beauties, but invited us while maintaining a disinterested attitude.

“Welcome.”

The cafe was as impressive inside as it was outside. It was fresh because there were vines growing on the walls, and the tables and chairs were unusual in design that I hadn’t seen before, and it looked good to be leisurely because there were no people around.

“Isn’t that bad?”

The demon king, who was looking around with sparkling blue eyes, whispered to me. When we nodded, the cafe staff told us a tone full of annoyance.

“Because this is one order per person. Please order.”

“Then maybe here?”

“Please place your order at the counter.”

I was about to order it, but I hung up and left. The male clerk made his way to the counter and said from the other side with a strangely annoyed attitude.

“I will take your order here. May I take your order?”

He nodded his head, feeling a strange feeling. Next to me, Taeyeon quietly approached me and whispered.

“Isn’t it a little tough here?”

“Uh, so.”

“You-all. Luggage must be gone before it becomes a burden.”

“Mom. I cocoa!”

Seeing us having a small talk, the demon king and Yena grew distant. Even though their bodies are different, the two of them, who share the same innocence, headed for a good place where the sunlight shines.

“Hey. Let’s just have coffee and go out.”

Even though she was in the same mood as me, Jena likes it, but she couldn’t go out right away. I agreed, adding the devil to Taeyeon’s heart.

“OK.”

“Hey. Aren’t you going to order here?”

“Yes, let’s go.”

Unlike the atmosphere of the cafe, I went to the counter after hearing the staff’s urging. Taeyeon and I, who arrived at the counter, before ordering, menu board, menu, menu… Uh?

“Where is the menu here?”

“Do you mean the menu board?”

“Yes. That’s what the menu says.”

I asked because I couldn’t see the menu, but the clerk still answered in an ironic tone. Taeyeon replied with the same no-nonsense yet sharp answer, but he did not change her attitude and put his hands together as if putting his palms together.

“As announced on SNS, the menu does not exist in the cafe. If you have any questions about the menu, please contact us via text message.”

“Yes?”

“What do you mean, that?”

What he said was obviously a mix of Korean and English. But neither I nor Taeyeon could understand what he was saying.

“Uh, sorry.”

When we asked back, the staff gave an explanation with no apologetic attitude.

“This cafe does not have a menu board for the interior. I announced it on social media in advance, did you not see it? Could you follow me and watch it?”

It seemed as if he hadn’t seen the notice and told us not to say anything. Like Taeyeon said earlier, I felt something intense beyond something harsh.

“No, what are you talking about?”

Unlike me, who can only feel it, Taeyeon, who has a fiery temper, took action herself.

“If it’s a restaurant, shouldn’t there be a menu board? What food is there, what is in it, and where is it from? Did the law tell you to do that?”

“I’m sorry, sir.”

Even after hearing Taeyeon’s protest, the staff showed a calm appearance. This time, he apologized with an attitude that didn’t contain any apology, and then spewed out more nonsense than the demon king.

“Because a cafe is not a restaurant like a restaurant. There is no reason why we should obey such a law.”

“Is this crazy?”

“Did you just swear?”

When Taeyeon mumbled something so absurd, the staff immediately caught it. He asked with the most sparkling eyes he had ever seen.

“If you insulted me, can I take it as abuse and report it? Please leave before reporting.”

“Yes? Oh yeah. Report it. Report it.”

“Oh, Taeyeon. Be patient be patient Don’t do that, be patient.”

I hurriedly stopped Taeyeon from taking out her wallet to show her ID. There were times when it was helpful to the police job, but there were times when it was a stumbling block.

“Why not? Why are you drying it?”

“Yena is there too. Let’s be patient. Huh?”

“Ah, Mr. Really.”

When she came to a pretty cafe and mentioned the excited Jena, Taeyeon killed her temper. She glared fiercely at the insolent employee and threw only two words at me.

“Ice americano.”

“Oh, okay. Go first.”

“…”

Taeyeon left her seat without saying that she knew. I looked at her back as she tried to soothe her angry heart with her own daughter, and then looked at her staff again.

“Customer.”

“Yes, hold on.”

“Not that,”

“I got it.”

To be honest, I felt no different from Taeyeon. I felt like I wanted to leave the cafe right away, which didn’t even show respect for the customers, but the demon king seemed too excited to do that.

Haha, that’s a complete madman.”

No, not that one

“Anyway, look at this and relax. Jim took some really amazing pictures.”

“What, daughter?! Daughter, did you pierce your nose?!”

“No! I was just scratching my nose, but Hayang unnie just took the picture!”

The demon king showed the phone screen to Taeyeon, who was sitting side by side with her daughter across from her. Showing Yena photos of her humiliation, her giggles seemed brighter than the blazing sunlight.

“Then I will order now.”

“… Yes.”

The staff, who had been casual until now, seemed to understand my feelings. His face a little paler than before, he listened to me ordering while looking at social media.

In fact, I should have slammed the door at this point.
