" This saddens me. That you would assume I'll try to pull one over you is pretty disheartening. "

" Have you eaten something. "

" That is a lie. What did we say about executing a perfect lie? Speak with the eyes. "

It's been some time since he decided to invite a friend out, so he chose ( 𝐕𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚 ) Why? Well it is rare for him to find someone so amusing yet someone who agrees with most things. So why not? " Have you finally decided if we should go to a café or a restaurant? "

" You are a busy man. I'm glad you decided to make some time for my simple request. " A local café it is. Good thing the butler knew exactly where some are in the area. " Come now. Let us get started on trying to unwind from our responsibilities. "

" You are too kind. I could not stand by and not aid you when you needed it. " He would smile briefly, walking to the nearby café before stopping in front of it. " How does this one look to you? "

" It's one of the few places I go to. Nothing expensive nor rich. The flavors have their way of hitting the right spots. Plus, they are popular with their blend of coffee and tea. "

" Nothing stops you from coming on your free time to enjoy the quiet moment while you indulge in a drink and sweets. " Drew only chuckled as he opened the door, stepping aside to allow Vanta to enter first. " Let us go in then. "

That is precisely what is about to happen. On the other side of the door stood Drew, waiting with a rolled-up newspaper, ready to discipline the young master.

Bap! " You slept over three hours past your scheduled time. Master Dae. What would others think of you after making promises to meet up with them? "

" I did. However, you failed to wake up in time for your promise with your friends. They had been spamming my cellphone with constant calls and messages about your whereabouts. "

" I see. So you decided to finally take action on these so-called friends. I'm glad, but this could have been avoided if you had told me yesterday. "

Bap! " That's also because you decided to miss breakfast, which I took the time to make, along with your attitude. Master Dae. It pains me to punish you in such a childish manner. "

" Yes. I am aware, but that shouldn't stop you from trying your best to keep up to your promises. "

" I do hope so. I wish to see you succeed. " He smiled.

" When the day comes. You'll find a way till then. Try to lighten up just a little, knowing I'll be here. "

" You won't have me saying the other meaning till you show me you are far more capable than your father. Come now. Get ready and head to the dining room. I'll have lunch prepared. "

" I might, but who knows how much time I have left. It can be cut short by a misfortune event, but if I can decide my fate, my future. I would love to stay here as long as I am needed. "
