Inhye's POV
It was a rather quiet but peaceful week after what happened. Bora is excited to see me always but something different about Jen that I don't really think it is wise asking.
"I'm so happy to be here!!" Bora squeals and jumps as always whenever we put our personal belongings in the locker. "Are you excited Inhye? Cause I am!!" Bora jumps and cheers again asking me.
"I am." I say. "Yayyyyy!" Bora cheered as Jen comes in. "Welcome back and I apologise about the incident last week." Jen bows apologising
"It's okay. Are you okay?" I ask. She nods her head a little. "I have a list for you guys to buy." She then says passing me a small paper that contains some shopping.
"I have thrown away quite a number of stuff at the stocks cause the quality is terrible so I need you guys to go and do some shopping." She says passing us $200 along with a $10 discount voucher.
We both nod. "Get yourselves lunch along the way with the money." She tells us.
We nodded our heads and went to grab some personal belongings before heading out to the grocery for the items.
Junghwa's POV
It was a while after sending Bora and Inhye are send off shopping, I was peeling some of the fruits for the fruit salad when I saw a familiar yet unhappy looking Christine walking in and pouting around the entrance of the cafe.
"Christine?" I called out. She soon notices me. "Jen!! Long time no see!!" She waves smiling
"How have you been??" She asks. "All good. You?" I smiled asking her back.
"Hell." She pouts. "And sorry for what Papa, Madame Lupin and Grandmama did." She apologised.
"It's cool." I say as I get her to sit down and grab her favourite lemon sprite. "How much does it cost?" She asks me.
"It's on the house." I tell her, considering she's only 15, I don't like charging the minors money.
She nods and drinks up. "Thanks." She thanked me. "No worries." I said.
"Anyways, how come your week was hell?" I then asked her. "Thank Papa for that one." She pouts drinking the lemon sprite I made her
"The drink is good." She says. I just smiled a little at what Christine said before asking her what did Pierre do.
"Papa was so mean over me texting this girl I met in exchange school here." She pouts explaining what happened.
"Like yeah I do like girls over boys which annoys him, but we aren't even at that stage yet." She continues
I just let her talk. "To the point he starts comparing this thing of mine with his experience with my mother which like honestly it's two different matters." She then tells me.
"Do you think he might be worried?" I asked her. "I know he's worried but surely now things are so advanced that I am not stupid committing the stuff he did when he's younger." She tells me
I nod, agreeing. "Can you help me talk to him please? I just don't know what will make him see I'm really not into guys, especially at 15." She pleads with me.
"You sure I'm the right choice?" I asked her uncertain. "Papa surely will listen to what you say. Even Grandmama and Grandpapa can't win him on this matter." She nods her head saying
"Very well" I say. The cafe phone after a while rang, I went to answer and it was Pierre.
"Good morning Mr De Hunt" I answered. "Jen! Did you see Christine? I was so worried when she just up and left this morning with this note that she needs some fresh air around the neighbourhood." Pierre tells me anxiously
"She's fine." I say. "She's with me at the cafe. Just really clear your mind before coming here and making a circus of yourself." I added on and ended the call right away.
"Who was that?" She Asks. "Your father." I tell her. "Oh boy he won't start again eh?" She scratches her head. "I already told him to clear his mind before coming here, hopefully he does." I reassured her
"Thank you." She says. "Don't worry about it." I tell her.
A while later, Bora and Inhye are back, Pierre also arrived a short while after. I let Christine go in the kitchen to learn some stuff from Bora and Inhye while I pull Pierre down for a drink.
"Cleared your head Mr De Hunt?" I asked him
He nods as I passed him a cup of spiced pumpkin latte. "Good" I said. "Really, you need to straighten your hairs Mr De Hunt." I proceeded telling him.
He just listens to me. "I know you care about Christine, you're a great father, I know how much the thing with your ex has affected you. But for crying out loud, Christine is old enough to make her choices and own for it." I continued.
"You should understand her more, maybe guys aren't really her thing. You can't force expectations on her like that or even to say compare her with your ex." I added on.
"I know." He says. "I know you're better than this Mr De Hunt." I tell him.
"I know." He sighs. "You know something?" He then asks me. "Maybe maybe not" I say. "It's been a while since you talked like that." He says with a slight smile.
"I will go get Christine to talk to you. Enjoy your latte Mr De Hunt" I said standing up and bowing to him knowing where he's taking the conversation to before going to the kitchen to get Christine
I see she is quietly learning. "How's everything?" I asked Bora. "She's a fast learner and a sweet soul" Bora whispers to me happily.
Inhye just watches her. Christine manages to get some good whipped cream and egg omelets up after a good while.
"Jen! Bora! Inhye! I did it!" Christine cheered. We three clap. We stopped a little while when Christine come asking me what Pierre doing.
"Drinking latte. Waiting for you to talk to him." I said. It took me a short bit getting her to talk to her father. While she does that, I just smile at Bora and Inhye.
"Thank you two." I smiled thanking them. "No worries." They say. Inhye then gives me the change. "There's a special sale going on so we basically got 30% off each thing we brought which is a lot." Inhye explains
I nod understanding before giving them their assigned tasks to do. While they're at that, I went out and see Pierre and Christine on talking terms now.
"I've already thanked Jen just now Papa, she didn't even charge me for the lemon sprite." Christine tells her father giggling
"Good." He says, they thanked me again before leaving the cafe. My brother and the rest arrives a while after sweaty from practice.
"Hungry?" I asked them. "Oh yeah we're hungry! When are we getting the omelets?" Jimin asks me excitedly
I grab their orders and go make up the foods. "WOOHOO!! OMELETS!!" V cheered when the omelets are done and serving
"Enjoy." I say as i go to my work area to continue working as they seven eat like a bunch of hungry wolves.
