'Uh... Am I supposed to know? But then again, I really don't know when his birthday is. I asked him once when we were little, but he was so cold and arrogant at the time that he ignored me. Jensen did mention it once, but I forgot. But, I really don't care about occasions like this.' Kisa looked at his sullen face and asked in a soft voice, "So, is today really your birthday?""No!" Gilbert yelled at her as if he was afraid she did not know that he was angry.Kisa did not dare to have a fallout with him again, so she played along. "So, what day is it? Didn't you just say we are going to celebrate?"He pursed his lips and started the car again in silence.Kisa looked at his surly side face in bewilderment as she thought to herself, 'What a quirky man!' She quietly took out her phone and checked the calendar. It was February 14 today. 'Valentine's Day?' She looked over at Gilbert. 'Could it be that he is talking about Valentine's Day? Oh, gosh! A ruthless, unromantic man like him is
As far as the eye could see, there was an enormous sea of flowers of all colors. The flowers were all in full bloom, and they were gorgeous in the sunlight. When she got closer, she realized that there were also many daisies and gerberas."How did you know about this place?" She looked at Gilbert in surprise.Seeing her eyes brighten up, Gilbert's anger instantly subsided. He secretly admitted he was a wuss before her."Let's go." He took Kisa by the waist and led her into the sea of flowers. There were several elderly farmers working at the nursery. She figured that the elderly might be the ones growing the flowers."Welcome, Mr. Kooper," the elderly farmers greeted.Kisa looked at Gilbert in amazement. "Everyone here knows you. It looks like you're a regular here.""Ha-ha, little girl. It was Mr. Kooper who instructed us to grow these flowers," an old farmer said to Kisa in amusement."Is GK Pictures venturing into the flower business now?" Kisa's eyes widened in surprise agai
Kisa looked at him, and she was transfixed. "W-What did you just call me?""My dear," he answered softly, wrapping his arms tighter and tighter around her. He then covered her lips with his hot, open mouth.At this moment, Kisa was still in a daze, and she did not avoid him. Perhaps it was because she was in a sea of romantic flowers, as her heart fluttered the moment their lips met. Gilbert closed his eyes, kissing her gently but with great devotion. She stared at him in awe, finding his thick and long eyelashes casting a gentle shadow on his eyelids in the sunlight. She looked at him as if she was looking through him and at the arrogant boy who she had a crush on back then. Kisa slowly lifted her hands and wrapped them around his strong, slender waist. The sea of flowers behind him became the most beautiful background in the world under the sun, so beautiful that it dazzled her eyes. She closed her eyes, not thinking about anything again. She continued to just feel his soft, almost
Kisa walked too quickly and bumped into the people in front of her. She promptly swayed and fell butt first.Gilbert was startled. He quickly caught her and pulled her into his chest."Why are you in such a rush? It's not like I'm going to eat you!"Gilbert spoke in a suggestive tone.However, Kisa was too distracted to bother. She stared intensely at the three who had just exited the restaurant.The three were none other than Adrien, Carolyn, and... Christopher.Christopher did not seem to notice Kisa and kept tugging on Carolyn's arm. His eyes were bloodshot and brimming with anger."You easy b*tch. You're old and gray, yet you're secretly spending Valentine's Day with this man? You're so shameless!"Then, he raised his arm and slapped Carolyn.Christopher was furious, so his slap was hard and forceful.The force of Christopher's slap flung Carolyn to the pillar beside them.But, it was not over yet. Christopher quickly strode up to Carolyn—who was lying by the pillar—and
It was Adrien Tanner.He tugged on Carolyn and lowly said, "Alright. Let's not argue with them. Your face is already beaten up so badly. Come on. I'll take a look at it in the car."Carolyn was very obedient to Adrien's words.Upon hearing Adrien's words, she immediately followed him into the car.After they left, Kisa finally turned to Christopher.She saw him squatting next to a pillar, painfully hugging his head.'He probably had never been in this much pain, even when my mother died. All I remember is the time my mother fell incredibly ill, and I didn't have the money to let her see a doctor. I went to the Case residence to borrow some money from him, but I was chased out by the housekeeper just as I got to the door. Even though I shouted "dad" at the door, all I saw was my father and Carolyn walking out of the house together. I ran up to him and grabbed him, telling him that mom was sick and that we didn't have the money to see a doctor. Just as he was about to give me some
Nevertheless, Kisa teared up after they entered the restaurant.She took a deep breath and forcefully kept her tears at bay.'I'm not feeling sad for Christopher. Getting sad for a heartless father like him is not worth it. That father of mine only feels remorseful because he has finally seen Carolyn's true colors. What's the use of his remorse? After all, my mother is never coming back. I'm feeling sad for my mother. They ruined her life, and she deserved better,' thought Kisa.Seeing her reddened eyes, Gilbert felt a twinge in his heart.He worriedly held the woman in his arms. "Why don't we go to a different restaurant?"Kisa shook her head and said, "I'm fine."She smiled and turned to Gilbert. "Did you make a reservation ahead of time?""Mhm," he nodded and led her toward their pre-booked private room.Kisa had a smile but was still in low spirits. She barely ate a thing.Meanwhile, Gilbert was feeling immense regret.'I never should've brought her here for dinner. Chris
The man's serious expression made the huge popcorn in his arms look out of place.'He even looks a little... cute,' thought Kisa.Gilbert walked up to Kisa. He saw the corner of her lips curve upward but did not know what she was thinking. She seemed pretty happy.'If she's happy, I'm happy too,' he thought.He handed her the tickets and said, "Let's enter the venue.""Mhm." Kisa took the tickets.She peered at the huge bucket of popcorn and asked in amusement, "You didn't have enough to eat just now?""I did.""Then, the popcorn...""I bought it for you. Isn't everyone buying it?" Gilbert said and looked around them."Mhm..." Kisa nodded and secretly compared the size of their bucket with other people's. Then, she said to the man, "Was there a need for you to buy such a big bucket?"'Thankfully, he's the one holding it. If I were to hold it instead, it would probably cover my entire face,' she thought.'Oh!' thought Gilbert.He was startled."I just told them to get me t
Kisa held her unfinished soda conflictedly."I don't want to go home yet," she whispered.Gilbert glanced at his wristwatch and frowned, "It's almost ten o'clock. What do you want to do if you don't want to go home?""I... I'm hungry. I want some supper!"Gilbert glanced at the bucket of popcorn that was practically untouched."You're... Hungry?" he asked doubtfully."Mhm!" Kisa nodded furiously, "Let's have some meat skewers."Gilbert crossed his arms across his chest and side-eyed her. "I assume you're not trying to exhaust me because you're worried that I'll do something to you when we get home?"Kisa laughed awkwardly, "How could I? You're so strong your energy could never be depleted.""You bet!" the man snorted. However, he still agreed to her request. "Alright. We'll go for meat skewers."It was Valentine's Day, so the streets were packed with people even at this hour.Gilbert led Kisa to an alley. The alley was crowded from one end to the other.The food stalls ther
