"Sir Shion, everything is settled. All of the deliveries are now ready to deliver."

A 21 years old man in his white polo smiled at his assistant.

"Thank you Faithe, Let me know if there's a negative feedback from our costumers. I will immediately fix it."

"Yes sir."

his assistant left his office. he leaned his back in swivel chair and hold a bunch of papers.

"What a hard working young man."

He smiled upon hearing a familiar voice.

"What are you doing here, Seth?"

"Aww, it sounds like you don't want me here."

he stood up and face his best friend, Seth Lee.

"how's life here? "

"I am enjoying the life that I had started here."

"that's good to hear."

Seth come close to him, putted his hands over his shoulders.

"I miss hanging out with you. wanna go ouy with me?"

He smiled. his friend really doesn't changed even a bit. playful as ever.

"I'll let you know my schedule after work."

"I am not accepting no as an answer, Shion."

he chuckled.

"Then it is settled. we will go out later."

he just smiled at seth. they are really colse that even personal space is invaded.

"Thanks for your hardwork. See you tomorrow."

Shion wave good bye to his employees.

Seth on the side is just looking at Shion. he smiled thinking how kind and adorable Shion is.

"Let's go. the shop is already close."

Seth smiled genuinely to Shion and put his arms over Shion's shoulder. almost hugging him.

Shion already used to his friend's actions like this. he just thought that it is a friendly gesture. After all, Seth was the one to take good care of him after that incident.

"Where do you wanna go?" \- Seth

"I thought, you already have a place in mind."

"Yosh! then let's go clubbing!" \- Seth

he just smiled at him. He wants to refuse, he has a low alcohol tolerance. clubbing is not his thing. but since Seth wants to go there, he will accompany him.

~~~ at the xxx club

"Don't drink too much Seth."

Seth chuckled.

"Drink some more Shion. This is the first time you accompanied me in th club."

"Hehehe, No thanks. juice will do Seth."

he refuses every alcoholic beverages that Seth is giving him.

he's just looking after Seth. he's drunk, he can see that.

😅💦 'I told him not to drink too much.'

he's just smiling awkwardly to Seth's actions. it's getting more and more weird.

"Come here Shion, give me a hug."

"w-what?!"

Seth tried his luck to throw himself into him for a hug.

Shion on the other hand trying his very best to stop Seth frim hugging him.

"Sobber up already, Seth!"

"Kiss me Shion. Hug me."

Shion made a face.

'What the heck is he saying? Take note to yourself Shion. don't ever let Seth get drunk.' 💦

He tried his best to calm Seth down. When he succeeded, he changed Seth's clothes and clean him.

Shion heave a sigh.

"At last, you've calmed down and asleep."

He sat on the bed and look at Seth. he smiled.

"Thank you for taking good care of me, Seth. I am thankful to you."

"Sir! please calm down! We can fix the problem, just calm yourself first."

"No! How would you fix this? My wife almost ate a cockroach from your cake! How could this café be the best of this city? your foods are not safe!"

"Sir, this is just a misunderstanding, we can assure you that our foods here are clean and safe."

"where's the owner of this café? I want to talk to him! "

"we already approached him. he will be here by any moment. calm down sir. you're bothering other costumers."

"Hah! they have the right to know this matter!"

A commotion inside the well known café, Moonlight café.

Dark Knight Clifford is just patiently waiting for his order to be served. he's coldly watching the scene here.

"Tss. this is mom's fault. she should be the one to get her foods rather than ask me to. now, I am watching this scandalous scene. "

he said to himself.

\*Ring Ring Ring

Dark fished out his phone from his pocket when it rang. He's inside the car, on his way back to his company. Clark is driving the car. His assistant.

"What is it mom?"

\[My dearest son, can you do me a favor?\]

"what is it? "

\[Buy me a choso fondant cake and ice coffee from Moonlight café.\]

"Mom, you should've ask your secretary for that."

\[They are busy, go. Buy me those.\]

\*toot toot toot

he heave a sigh when his mom ended the call.

"To the moonlight cafe."

"Copy sir."

~~~ Present

Now, he's waiting for his orders.

"How come this café would serve that kind of food when mom always recommends it to her friends. that is obviously a scam."

he murmured.

"Where is your manager? He maybe ashamed because of this that he don't even want to come out of his office."

he heard the man said. he intently stared at the man. he looks like the owner of the small business. maybe this café got more popular than his business that's why he is making a scene here.

And come to think of it. I don't know who the owner of this café.

Dark's attention got distracted when a man walks by his side.

'*He smells so good. he looks good. he's... \* blush*,"

he can't even blink. he's just staring at the man.

'*He* looks like an angel.'

The man went to the commotion.

"I am so sorry for the inconvenience ma'am, sir. we can talk of it over some coffee."

'*he's the owner*?'

Now he's more interested. so he listen and watch it attentively. he smirked.

'How are you going to fix the matter, little angel?'

"No thanks, what if the coffee that you're serving has other insects in it?"

Dark's mood got a bit cloudy because of the man. On the other hand, Shion smiled at the man.

"Sorry for the inconvenience sir, but I can assure you that the foods and drinks we serve is clean."

"Hah! how sure are you? as the owner of business, you're just slacking off your office and enjoying your free time while earning money."

Dark fot irritated but Shion's smiling face doesn't even fade.

"Sorry to burst your bubble sir, but I can assure you that we are clean here. everything here are all well sanitized. As a proof sir, why don't my costumers submit a complaint about it? in fact sir, you're just the first one to complain our service and foods here."

Dark suppress his smile. nice defense. the man got more irritated.

"hah! what if you're just hiding those negative feedbacks just to impress your costumers."

"No sir. I can assure you that. On the contrary to your accusations sir, aren't you the owner of the café on the next subdivision?"

Gotcha. Dark confirmed his guess. this commotion is just a scam. he can't stop admiring the owner. what is his name?

"How did you... "

"I got my research, and about this commotion, maybe you need to apologize to all of my costumers and staffs. I just hve to clear something to you sir. I am the one baking the foods here. I didn't hired a baker. and I am not slacking off in my office."

"You...!"

"Apologize now sir. they all deserve that from you."

Dark can't take off his eyes from the guy. he's smiling at all. he's being mock but he just want an apology for his staffs and costumers. and he's the one baking these sweets? What a nice, responsible and respectful guy.

"Tss. Let's go. I will not going to apologize to you."

the man together with his wife stood up and about to leave when Dark block their way.

"What do you want? "

The man asked him with a frown.

"Apologize to us."

"Why would I do that? "

He smirked and leaned closer to the man's ear.

"Should I destroy your small business then instead? I am the Dark Knight Clifford."

He whispered. The man face paled. Dark smiled sweetly to the couple.

"Now, you should apologize."

the man immediately apologize to all costumers and staffs of the café.

Dark look at Shion, he can tell that he's being suspicious of him. he just smirked at him.

when the commotion got over, Dark got his orders and leave the café.

"What took you so long sir? "

Clark asked.

"Got involved in the commotion inside."

"What happened sir?"

"Nah, nothing big."

Dark is about to enter in the car when someone approached him.

"Wait up a moment sir."

he looked at the guy who's panting. he smirked. oh? little angel.

"What is it? "

Shion smiled at him sweetly. he got starstruck of his smile.

"I just want to thank you for whatever you did inside. thank you so much."

Dark swallow a lump. he can feel that he's blushing.

'*he's so cute. damn*!'

"Ah sir? are you okay?"

He cleared his throat and smirked at Shion.

"I did a big thing for you. how would you be able to repay me?"

Dark leaned closer to Shion.

"E\-eh!! how would you want me to repay you back?"

Shion is uncomfortable with their position.

'*Why is he leaning forward to me*?'

"Heh? Let's see."

The man smirked at him before going in to his car.

........

"what was that?"

Shion ask himself, he's just watching the car driving from him.

"You seems to be in a good mood sir."

Dark smirked at his assistant.

"Found my little angel."

"What do you mean sir?"

"Search about the owner of the Moonlight café."

"Right away sir."

💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

"Are you all right?"

Shion asks his stuffs, it's been a while after the commotion stopped.

"we're fine sir, it is you who would've been upset because of his accusations."

Shion smiled.

"it's no big deal to me. though I am glad that his tantrums didn't affect the costumers point of view about our café."

"No worries sir. they trusts you."

"I am glad about that."

It's already 5 o'clock in the afternoon and they are preparing to close the café. It is Sunday today and they are cloaing the café earlier than the usual.

"Shion! are you okay? I've heard about what happened earlier."

Shion looks at Seth who just got arrived. He smiled at him.

"I am fine."

Seth immediately hugged Shion.

"Aahh... Seth, why are you... "

"I got scared. I thought something bad happened to you."

Shion's awkward thought because of Seth's sudden action faded.

he somehow understand Seth. he put his arms on Seth's back, hugging him back.

"I'm fine. you don't have to worry too much."

after some minutes, Seth cut off the hug and look at him.

"You should have called me to help you."

"I told you, I can manage. it's just a minor case besides there's this guy who helped me deal with that man."

Seth got silence.

'*guy? who would it be*?'

Seth is jealous, he knows that himself.

"Who would be that guy?"

Seth asks coldly. Shion smiled at him.

"I don't know his name. I had no chance to ask him."

Seth heave a sigh.

'It's a good thing if he will not meet that guy again.'

he said to himself. he knows that he swing that way.

he likes his bestfriend, Shion from the first tine he laid his eyes on him.

he has no self confidence to tell Shion how he feels towards him. maybe because Shion see him as his brother.

but he is now determined. he will tell Shion that he likes him romantically. after knowing that there's a guy whom he met, if his hunch is right, has an interest on him.

"Hey, are you alright, Seth?"

"Ah! yeah, I'm fine. are you going home now?"

"yes, I will go home now."

"I'll drive you home then. let's have dinner together. my treat."

Shion chuckled.

"As if you would let me pay for our meal."

Seth smiled at Shion.

'*Aww, he's really cute*.'

he said to himself.

"eat a lot of food, Shion. you look thin now."

Shion pouted.

"Hmm.. I am not thin nor fat. I am on a healthy diet."

Seth laugh. he can't control himself. he leaned forward to Shion and pinch his cheeks.

"You're so cute!"

"Arr... ishtowp itch Sheth."

Seth laugh and let go of Shion's cheeks.

"It hurts, you know."

"I know. it's just that your cuteness is irresistable."

Shion just pouted.

~~~ CEO's office in Clifford Incorporation

"Sir, your reservation in xxx restaurant would be two hours from now."

"Okay."

Dark can't stop smiling. he's looking at the documents Clark gave him.

"What would you want to do to xxx café?"

he remembers the guy who made such scene in moonlight café.

"Buy the business and destroy. do whatever you can to get rid of that man."

"What about the owner of the moonlight café?"

He smirked.

"I just found ny little angel, I will do everything to make him mine."

\\*\\*\\*inside the mind of Clark.

"boss will be boss. I feel sorry for his next target."

after two hours, Dark is now eating on the restaurant for dinner. he doesn't know how to cook and he often eat in this restaurant.

"here's your orders sir. have a great meal."

Dark can't stop thinking of that guy.

'\*Shion Valdez, 21 years old. owner of the well known moonlight café in xxx city. he just got here a year and a half but then his business blooms rapidly. he's also a graduate of culinary. baking is his hobby.

he's so adorable yet there's still mystery in his information. weird. but even so, he's still my little angel\*.'

he thought the whole time he's eating dinner.

"Hahaha. you're really cute like a teenage girl."

"stop teasing me, Seth."

Dark's thought stop and look immediately at the two guy eating on the left side of his table.

His mood darkens. he saw Shion Valdez eating dinner with another man, teasing him.

he dangerously smiled and look at Shion intently.

"You want a guy too. what a coincidence, but you're mine little angel."

He fished his phone out of his pocket and call his assistant who's waiting for him in the parking lot.

\[Hello sir?\]

"Search about this guy who's with my little angel now."

he ordered then hang up.

his assistant sighs.

"Sir really got obsessed with this guy, he even sounds like a jealous wife ordering me to follow and get rid of his husband's third party."

Clark said to himself while looking for those guy. he has not even eaten his dinner. 💦💦💦

"Thank you for the meal."

Shion said to Seth who's now leaning on his car. He drove him to his apartment.

"No worries."

Shion is just staring at Seth. then a thought came in his mind.

'\*Aren't we look like a couple? Nah... we're just best of friends. besides, I am sure to myself that I am straight\*.'

"what's the problem?"

Shion smiled.

"Ah! nothing. I will go inside. do you have anything to say?"

"Yes, I'll be out of the country for a business trip."

"When are you leaving? Take care of the flight."

Seth made a face.

"You're hurting my feelings, Shion. you sounds like you're glad that I'll be away."

"Eh?! no no no. that's not what I mean. I'm just showing you that you don't have to worry about me when you're away. you should focus on your work."

"But I'll be away for three months. will you be fine? you're alone here."

Shion smiled genuinely.

"Yes, I'll be fine. I can assure you that. and besides, it's just three months."

Seth heave a sigh.

"Fine fine."

he stood up and went closer to Shion. To his shock, Seth hug him so tight.

"Seth... "

"I'm going to miss you."

'*He will miss me because he'll be away from his bestfriend and bother for so long that's why*. '

he said to himself.

"Go inside. I'll leave later at dawn. good night Shion. I'll call you often."

he just waved good bye.
