After an emotional revelation, Zeke and Lea chomped on fries and ice creams.
Zeke
You want some? I think I have some inside the pantry.
Lea laughed at how he didn't get her calling him honey as an endearment.
Lea
Zeke, tell me what's inside your brain right now.
Lea
Are you thinking of multiple things?
Zeke
Yeah. Though all of them are about you.
Zeke
Well, first, I want to keep you by my side the whole time.
Zeke
Then, its about how I want to spend our one hundred day anniversary.
Zeke
Also there's the thing when I want to see you wearing my clothes all the time.
Zeke
But I also think that I'm angry.
Zeke
I hate that you've gone through so much pain and I couldn't do anything about it because we never met during that time.
Zeke
I want to do something for you, but I also know that you don't want me carelessly doing things you don't want me to do.
Zeke
I also think about how clueless Theo is. I can't tell if he's lucky or pitiful being clueless.
Lea
I didn't really want to tell 'cause I thought you might change the way you look at Theo if you knew.
Lea
I don't want to dampen your friendship.
Zeke
You are both important to me. Cause I consider you both as my friends even if you are my girlfriend.
Zeke
I also don't want to feel any prejudice towards him. Though by logic, its annoying that he never knew anything.
Zeke
But we don't know what's inside his brain.
Zeke
We might be thinking this but he might actually have a clue and just pretends to not know anything.
Zeke
Despite his acts and antics, Theo is smart. I believe its only right to assume as much.
Lea
That would only complicate things if that were to be true.
Zeke
Don't you want to establish your sibling bond?
Lea
I don't know. I do know that I don't want him to get hurt.
Zeke placed his palm over Lea's head.
Zeke
You can trust Theo. I can vouch for that.
Zeke
But I won't force you. Take your time to think about this.
Zeke was called to work first thing in the morning.
President
Zeke, one of the luxury brand of cars known worldwide wants you to be their brand ambassador.
Zeke looked uninterested and detached.
President
Haha. Not that much of a reaction huh.
Zeke wasn't thrilled because his alone time with Lea was cut short.
President
Zeke, take this job seriously. Alright?
Zeke flashed a calculated smile.
After a brief meeting, Brent eas waiting outside the President's office.
Zeke
Brand Ambassador. Must take it seriously.
Brent
I was told that Rose was also offered to do the job.
Brent
G-getting mad at me won't help r-right?
Brent
W-wait! I d-didn't know!
Jim
Arguing in the hallway. Nice.
Jae
What did you do this time Manager?
Brent
Eh? I didn't do anything. Swear!
Ren
Mind filling us up Leader?
Zeke
Brand Ambassador. Work with Rose.
All of them glared at Brent.
Brent
😢🥺I told you. I didn't know... 😭
Meanwhile, Lea was unexpectedly visited by Mia during her work.
Mia
One Matcha Frappe with choco chips please. 😁
Lea
What are you doing here?
Mia
Well for one, I want my caffeine fix.
Lea
Right. If that's your only business, then I'll gladly welcome you.
Lea
Stop acting coy. You look stupid.
Ken
I'm sorry about that Maam.
Mia
No. Its okay. Lea and I are best buds.
Ken
Ahahaha. Our Lea is a unique case isn't she.
Mia
Yes Boss. She really is.
Lea rolled her eyes and went to make Mia's order.
Mia
Boss, don't you think Lea's a good fit to model your cafe?
Ken
Oh! You think she has potential?
Mia
Yes! Totally. I knew right away the first time I saw her Boss.
Lea lightly slammed Mia's order.
Lea
Geee. Our costumer is a bit chatty isn't she boss?!💢
Mia
🥺But I'm already your fan Lea.
Ken looked at Mia and was touched at her concern for Lea. Atleast that's what it looked like at his perspective.
Lea
Don't let her fool you boss. She's a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Mia
No! Of course not boss. I only wanted to offer Lea an honest-to-goodness modeling job.
Ken
Why, isn't that great Lea?
Lea
I don't like this woman at all.
Lea
she's as shady as she can get.
Mia
Boss you can trust me. I swear.
Ken
Lea, my dear, why don't you give her a chance? If you still don't like it, you're free to stop anytime.
Ken
Its not like you will sign a contract right away.
Ken
Missy, I will only allow Lea to try your offer in a trial basis. Test the waters if you will. But if she's not okay about it after trying, I don't want to force her.
Ken
Its her call though. I'm only here to guide her.
Mia
Please? I'll work something out Lea.
Lea
Do you want your Matcha or not?
Mia
I'll take it if you say yes.
Mia begged desperately, producing the cutest puppy eyes she can ever make.
Mia raised her hopes up and prayed internally.
Ken
Hahaha. Sorry about her Miss. Feel free to come back and try.
Mia
This is not the end of it Lea! I shall return!
After work, Mia waited for Lea and ambushed her.
Mia suddenly talked to her while she was searching for her keys. It was a startling moment that Lea jumped in surprise.
Mia
Can you just please say yes.
Lea
Mia, look, there's a big difference between perseverance and domination.
Lea pointed Mia's whole existence.
Lea
This is domination. I don't like it. I won't submit to your annoying antics.
Mia
You promoted my break-up remember?
Lea
You don't get to play that card honey.
Lea
You were an absentee girlfriend since day one.
Lea
Blame it on your unbalanced sense of righteousness and self-implications.
Mia
But you know that whatever you say, no matter how much you say no, I won't stop right?
Lea
You're giving me headache right now.
Mia
What can I do to make you agree?
Mia
It'll be just a one time gig. I swear if you don't like it, I won't force you anymore.
Lea
And you think I'll trust your words?
Lea
If I do a great job, and people like me, you'll pester me for more.
Lea
You didn't have to. It's totally written in that scheming face of yours.
Mia
I'll give you everything.
Lea
I don't want your everything. Just please leave me alone.
Mia
Why do you hate it that much?
Lea
Cause I know I'm gonna do great. And I hate the thought that people will dictate what I can and cannot eat. If I look ugly, too fat, too skinny, and all that crap your talented artists go through.
Mia
Y-you're confidence knows no bounds.
Lea
I am confident. That's why I got you wrapped around my fingers, begging me to give you a taste of my greatness.
Mia trembled as Lea looked like a hot seductress for a moment.
Mia
H-ha.Y-you're so shameless. M-maybe I was wrong. I should just give up then.
Lea smirked. She knows Mia was trying to do a reverse psychology on her. Sadly she called her bluff.
Lea
Then, you'll be doing us a favor. Thank you for that. Good night Mia.
As Lea walked away, Mia pouted in defeat. She really wanted to have Lea as a talent.
Her confidence and charisma will give a refreshing view for both K entertainment and her future fans, that much Mia can tell.
Mia
Such a waste not polishing such diamond in the rough.
Lea arrived at her apartment still a little annoyed at Mia.
Her phone rang as soon as she put her bag down.
Zeke
Got a brand ambassadorship.
Zeke
Got partnered with Rose.
Zeke
Is that an Oh, like "Oh, my boyfriend will be partnered with a girl, I'm so jealous."
Zeke
Or it that like an "Oh, that girl tryna steal my man, I won't let her."
Zeke
Or perhaps it like an "Oh, I'm sad my honey won't have time for me."
Lea
Its amazing how your mind works.
Zeke
I know. I'm so great.
Lea
But they are all wrong. Its "Oh, that girl again. She really is influential huh." kind of Oh.
Zeke
Naah.I prefer my interpretation.
Lea
Right... Well, its not like you can say no. Its work and you need to be professional about it.
Zeke
If you say it like that, then I guess.
Lea
But if you don't want it, and not feel okay about it, then reject it so that they can find someone else.
Lea
Don't waste both of your time.
Zeke
I'll do it. I don't like it when you try picking on my pride as a professional.
Lea
Well, what can I say, I love me some hardworking Zeke.
Zeke
Haha. Whatever you say honey. What about you? How was your day?
Lea
It was annoying. Mia came into the cafe. Ambushing me to model for your agency.
Zeke
Why don't you give it a try?
Zeke
You know she won't stop until you say yes.
Lea
I just have to keep rejecting her.
Zeke
Doesn't that get tiring?
Lea
Its a battle of endurance Zeke.
Lea
Whoever caves in looses.
Lea
By the way, I'm planning to visit the orphanage soon, so I won't be able to meet you-
Zeke
Not seeing you is out of the equation. If you're planning to go somewhere, either you bring me along, or go in the days that I can't meet you.
Lea
Can you please try to understand me?
Zeke
Depends on your reason.
Lea
It'll be my birthday soon, and I plan on spending it with you, but because I'm spending it every year in the orphanage, I had to visit earlier just to not worry the children who wants to see me.
Lea
They are kind of expecting me so I kind of really need to go.
Zeke
I was being selfish. I'm sorry.
Zeke
Its just, I know it will be your birthday soon, and I thought you were gonna bail out on me since you are kind of like that.
Lea
I really want to spend that day with you.
Lea
I hate my birthday, since its the day that woman gave birth to me, but now, I do want to live in a way that I'll be out of that family's oppresion. I want to start it with you.
Fortunately, the call wasn't a video call but just an ordinary call, so Lea can't see the red blush of pure bliss and embarassment that Zeke's trying to supress.
Ren who can see his actual face made a difficult expression.
Ren
I swear, Leader's getting weirder by the day.
Ren mumbled to himself while he observed Zeke.
Zeke threw a pillow on Ren when he saw him make a face.
