A Little Cupid's
18. Passive and Passive



*First..he never had the initiative to call me. Except with the schedule I set.


Second.he only called me once and it was last night*.😑


*Three...why didn't he ask me??, Why didn't he ask if I had eaten or not??, And why was there always a notification of withdrawal of funds from the credit card that I gave. Why did he suddenly become wasteful??.


Fourthly. Why do I keep thinking about it??.How strange*.


'We're at Namsan Park'


'We're at Lotte World'


'We're in Myeongdong'


'We're in Namdaemun'


'We're in Bukchon Hanok Village'


"……"


There are dozens of photos that Jae Wook sent as well as messages wherever they went during these five days. And in conclusion, Lily and Arion are having fun without her.


If only his work piling up was quickly finished. He wanted to run and have fun with them. But it's very difficult to do now. He even lacked time to rest.


Varo got the girl married 3 months ago. But the girl's reply ended up just taking a deep breath and turning away.


He never thought about dating, let alone getting married. Varo used to spend his time working. The presence of little Arion is slowly changing his habits.


At first he had a clean and simple room, now there are even so many dolls, baby clothes, diapers and even cans of milk powder at home and in his office. There were also milk and rice biscuits, and there was even a stroller sitting right next to his office desk.


Varo who is usually indifferent, gradually so have a caring nature. He cares for Arion, wants the little baby to be healthy and cheerful, until finally Varo hires a babysitter (Lily) because he can not keep an eye on Arion 24 hours.


That's where the new problem lies. Arion makes him need a babysitter who finally not only to spoil the little guy, but also to spoil him (Varo). He suddenly wanted to be noticed by the girl. But Lily was too passive.


If Varo doesn't give orders, Lily never once had the initiative to ask questions, or do anything for Varo.


Just like these five days. The girl acts like a tourist in Korea, and Varo is just her personal bank.


'I want you to come to my office right now!!, I don't care where you are. I don't want to have lunch alone'


Varo puts his phone down violently, the last photo Jae Wook sent was of them posing like a married couple and their child, complete with a bright smile as the sun.


It sucks!!!!


🌺🌺


Having to return home first to pick up food, they were half an hour late to Varo's office, and the man had already put on a super sour face since they arrived 10 minutes ago.


Lily just keeps quiet and arranges the food she cooks on the table and of course Jae Wook helps the girl.


Just when the two looked at each other and smiled. The sound of table shaking was heard. Varo slammed the map he was holding.


"You are no longer needed. Now go!!!" Varo said as he stared intently at Jae Wook.


Lily who did not understand because Varo used Korean, immediately asked him when she saw Jae Wook rushing away.


"He's my personal assistant. Not your personal assistant. Why would he bother helping you!!."


"…."- ".The ketus answer only made Lily upset to hear it. It was you who told😒


"I. Learn to cook all this. I. Thought it was pretty good, Jae Wook also said that all of this tastes similar to what ordinary Koreans eat. So then…


"So you let him eat food for me first😠??"


😑"He just tasted it. No more than one small bowl for each meal. He did not dare to eat for fear of being scolded by you. So I just cooked her ramyeon for lunch. After that we came straight here."


After hearing that explanation, Varo even more upset. "I want ramyeon!!.Cuisine me ramyeon now!!😡😡"


Yak….😑


"I've had a hard time cooking everything, can't you just eat this" the girl asked patiently.


Varo pointed at the small kitchen inside his office. "Have Jae Wook buy the same ramyeon he ate, I want to eat exactly the same. Wake me up when it's all over."


The man went to the rest room in his office, he slept with Arion who had been napping since.


Lily returns to cooking a pack of ramyeon with a cheese topping, unfortunately when she finishes and calls Varo, the man is instead seen sleeping soundly beside Arion.


The girl only sighed deeply, then closed the door. He cleaned the food he had served on the table, put it in the kitchen cabinet to be warmed again later.


"Then....how about this ramyeon??, This is impossible to keep." Lily glanced out the door, but then shook her head. Jae Wook had eaten and the man must have been full. Lily decided to eat the ramyeon.


🌺🌺


"….."


Varo was awakened by the movement beside him. Arion got up first and kept patting her face.


The man glanced at the wall clock, he only realized he had been asleep for 2 more hours. As soon as Varo exits the break room with Arion, he finds Lily sleeping on the couch.


Varo brought Arion closer to Lily, and of course, the little one happily patted the girl's face with his little hands.


Well, not for 5 seconds, Lily woke up, the girl immediately smiled and kissed the little guy's cheek, making him laugh.


"I'm hungry!!, where's my ramyeon?"


"….."So aware of the man. The thing Lily heard only made the girl shake her head.



5 Minutes later, ramyeon and other food are served on the table.


While Varo was eating very voraciously, Lily fed Rion and occasionally glanced at him.


"If there's anything to ask, just ask!. You lyrics are so, make others uncomfortable, you know!!."


"…..you....when is the holiday??"


"Tomorrow."


"Mm...willing to rest at home??"


"Yes!!."


"…."- ".Okay…..


Varo glanced at Lily who stopped asking, the look on the girl's face did not look happy.


"Why??, you still want to go for a walk??, Not satisfied around Seoul 5 today??." Varo asked in a cynical tone.


Lily stared at the man for a long time, before finally sighing deeply. "Tomorrow what to eat??."


"…...I'll think about it tomorrow."


Okey…


Then the conversation ended until Varo's working hours. The two did not even talk to each other in the car.


As soon as we got in front of the house. Lily just got out of the car while holding Arion who was still awake.


"We're not going to walk the same way." The girl muttered slowly. "Ma'af yeah." Lily kissed Arion's cheek again.


Varo looked at the two from inside the car. Jae Wook opens the car door and asks if he needs to drive again tomorrow.


"Tomorrow and week, off work. You still want to work??" Ask Varo wonder.


The one asked even frowned confusedly. "Mrs. Lily said she wanted to take Mr. Director to Namsan Tower to celebrate Arion's birthday."


"….."Varo was silent for a moment. He forgot his nephew's birthday. He also forgot that tomorrow was the day of his brother's death.


"I'll take another car. You take the day off." Said the man and entered the house.


Varo knocks on Lily's room, which is still trying to put Arion to sleep. "She's usually asleep, she's also met you. It's so weird, every time I put it on the bed, he'd whine for a hold."


"Let him sleep in my room!." Varo takes Arion from Lily's sling. But not yet to the exit, the little one cried calling Lily.


"Mama~~😭😭…."


"……"The two looked at each other and went to sit in the living room and calmed Arion down.


The little guy hugged Varo tightly, but his little finger grabbed the tip of Lily's sleeve making the girl unable to sit far away from them.


Be, Lily sings quietly while stroking Arion's hair. He used to do that, but not with Varo who was next to him. The awkwardness lasted almost an hour.


Lily wakes up Varo who is also asleep. He told the man to move into the room. But the man asked her to stay there because she wanted to talk about something.


"Why go to Namsan Tower??" Ask the man suddenly.


"Because Rion's birthday is tomorrow…


"It's not because you're the one who wants to go there and spend money on my credit card." Varo cuts off Lily's explanation


Lily took a breath before finally speaking. "I..look through this house with Arion. Then we went into the photo gallery upstairs and saw a lot of pictures of you with your sister and her husband."


"You and your brother seem to go there often, as well as to the places we visited during these 5 days. Your sister and her husband also seem to have a lot of memories in those places. I saw their last photo when your sister was 7 months pregnant. Behind the photo was a promise that your brother would celebrate Arion's birthday at Namsan Tower. So..I thought….


Again the girl was silent for a moment and sighed deeply. "Today five, I actually wish you had time for Rion, he can walk alone. But.your assistant said, even you're short of time to rest, so we're trying not to bother you."


"Because you were complaining about clothes yesterday, that's why I bought the same clothes for you and Arion. So if you're together, people will think you're father and son, so you won't be angry anymore. But I seem to be shopping late. I bought without knowing the price, I just thought because the material was good so I bought it right away."


"I don't use your money for my needs, not one bit."Lily takes out Arion's credit card and gives it to the man. "I asked ma'af, didn't tell you first. I'd better give it back."


"….…"


Lily smiled awkwardly. "I asked Jae.I mean your assistant, he taught me how to exchange money. So, I'm not gonna use your money anymore."


Lily waited for Varo to speak, but the man remained silent.


"Tomorrow, I'll just make a cake to celebrate Rion's birthday, in the backyard. Mm... I. will move Rion to my room, so I don't have to bother you tomorrow morning. Good night."


"……."


Varo cursed himself who could not reply to a single word of Lily's explanation. He only realized, he had made Lily disappointed by the expression of his frustration earlier.
