Ice Cream Parlor

@{N} Kwangmin ♛ *smiles in excitement as you walk away, until the mention of the ice cream*
yeah, no problem...
*drones and pouts at the memory of you eating my ice cream*
hmm..i guess i should go back to the kitchen now...
*mumbles to myself and walks toward the door as well, throwing the cup away on my way out*

@{S} Daehyun Great! We have a deal then. I'll alert you as soon as I find an assistant for you. I'm sure you'll love them and we'll be able to get started on your new act.
*smirks walking towards the door as I throw my hands into my pockets*
Thanks for the ice cream~
*walks out the door as my tail flicks happily behind me suddenly feeling carefree*

@{N} Kwangmin ♛ *jumps at your expressed excitement*
I-I...okay.
*stares at you with wide eyes and nods*
exactly what I said..just...not with so many words..
*averts my gaze to the floor as I think for a moment*
I'll be looking forward to an assistant and this new opportunity~
*grins*

@{S} Daehyun We're going to be hiring more staff soon anyway so I'm sure we'll find someone who would love to be your assistant and have you mentor them.
*shuts my eyes, listening intently to your words then grins wide as I jump up from my seat in excitement*
Which is why you would be perfect for business! All you'd have to do is sing and we would have customers lining up just to hear your voice. Then once they're in they'll of course stay for the lovely atmosphere.
*chuckles brushing my tongue over my left fang before nodding in approval*
We can definitely make this happen.

@{N} Kwangmin ♛ *whispers & pokes you in the side*
hey...you never replied~

@{N} Kwangmin ♛ *hums and nods in understanding*
sounds good..wonder who we could get for that position, though..
*smirks and threads my fingers together to rest under my chin as I lean on the table*
well, from what I understand about my kind, we all have very...attractive...voices; irresistible, really..
*shrugs nonchalantly*

@{S} Daehyun You wouldn't be working as a singer every day. Just on special occasions when we'll be needing your services. As far as the baking goes we'll try to find an assistant for you who can cover your shifts when you're singing.
*thinks for a moment then laughs, my tail swishing excitedly behind me*
Well that is very true and we could always use more business. I haven't met many siren but I've heard quite a few things about how they work.

@{N} Kwangmin ♛ you would really do that?
*smiles at the possibility before furrowing my brow in thought*
how would that work though?..I mean, having two jobs seems like it would be difficult to balance..
*takes a sip of the water you brought over*
although..since I AM a siren...I could easily attract more customers for you~
*winks playfully and giggles at my own gesture*

@{S} Daehyun *chuckles in amusement when I see how flustered you are, going to the cashier in a rush and coming back with a glass of water, handing it to you*
Of course I think so. You don't have to stop being a pastry chef. But you should really consider singing as well.
*taps my foot on the floor, my ears twitching when I try to concentrate*
Well my brother and I already had a few themes planned out for the club so maybe we can work something in for you.

@{N} Kwangmin ♛ *gasps and chokes on air, hitting my chest as I regain my composure, coughing and sputtering all the while*
you-you really think so?
*furrows my brow in thought*
but I like being a pastry chef too...
*meets your eyes again, smiling*
a special event? I agree, it would be fun..what would be the theme of such an event though?

@{S} Daehyun *hums in content once you finish, crossing my arms over my chest with a wide grin*
I think you would do much better as a singer at our club then stuck in the back as a pastry chef. Maybe we can hold a special event one of these nights. I'm sure it would be plenty of fun for the guests as well.
*watches you play with the condensation of the cup and chuckles*
What do you think?

@{N} Kwangmin ♛ *smirks as I finish singing, watching as you sway*
well, I'm glad you seem to have enjoyed that~
*leans forward on the table again*
so, what'd you think?
*rests my face on my palm as I press my fingers into the moisture left behind by the cup of ice cream, scribbling random words*

@{S} Daehyun Yes. That is, if I'm satisfied by your performance you can have a bonus.
*shrugs giving you an innocent smile*
That's completely up to you. If you think of something else you'd prefer just let me know and I'll see if I can make it happen.
*grins sitting up in my seat, eager to hear your singing as my ears perk up at the exhilarating sound of your voice, swaying from side to side with my eyes closed*

@{N} Kwangmin ♛ I don't expect anyone to do anything to make me feel better..I don't really see the need for it, myself.
*smiles as your tail moves while you think*
Rain Sound, huh?..
*nods slowly thinking it over*
and you'll give me a bonus just for singing for you?...I'm not really sure what I could possibly ask you for instead..but yeah, I'll sing it
*nods once more, this time more resolute, as I sit up straight*
~I biga nareul wirohaejulkka/Ireon nae mameul alkka jakku niga saenggangna~
*stares at you as I sing*

@{S} Daehyun Yes. It /was/ yours but now it's all gone.
*grins cheekily before leaning back in my seat*
Hmmm no I was being honest. You shouldn't need other people to make you feel better about yourself.
*taps my chin as my tail sways in thought*
How about a song called Rain Sound? Have you heard of it? I'll give you a bonus in your check for humoring me with your lovely voice. Unless you would prefer something else as compensation?

@{N} Kwangmin ♛ that was mine...*pouts slightly*
and no..I just wanted to know if you really thought that or if you were just trying to make me feel good about myself...*snorts*
ah..you want me to sing for you?..what do you wanna hear...and what would I get in return? *smirks and leans forward once more, resting my cheek on my palm as my arms support my weight against the table*

@{S} Daehyun That was what?
*places the cup down once I finish eating the ice cream, turning my attention back to you*
Of course you are. Has anyone told you otherwise?
*chuckles laying back satisfied as I purr unknowingly*
You should sing for me then so I can judge for myself.
*grins sitting back up, eagerly waiting for your performance*
Unless you're not confident in your abilities.

@{N} Kwangmin ♛ but..*I gasp as you take my ice cream*
that was..*watches as you your lips and suddenly feels invasive, averting my gaze back to the ice cream cup*
*glances back at your face for a moment as you speak*
me?..attractive? *I once again raise an eyebrow in question*
*is confused at the random mention of Himchan*
what did he...*shakes my head* nevermind..
ah..yes, I am. *smiles smugly and nods modestly* amazing voice?..I guess you could say that...

@{S} Daehyun Well you weren't really eating it yourself. You were just kind of.. Playing with it. Ice cream this delicious deserves to be eaten properly.
*grins taking the entire cup away from you, my lips when I feel a bit of melted cream trying to make it's way down the corner of my mouth*
But don't worry. I will repay you for this yummy treat with my company. Hosts don't come free you know.
*chuckles leaning back when you move closer to me*
No. I also enjoy the company of talking to someone attractive who's not constantly down my throat.
*shakes my head with a sigh, biting on the corner of my lip in frustration*
We really need to consider Himchan's place in our staff. I'll show him how evil this "chopstick" can be. Sorry, I got a bit off topic there.
*smiles kindly as I take another bite of the ice cream*
So Daehyun-ssi. My brother tells me you're a Siren right? You must have an amazing voice.

@{N} Kwangmin ♛ *nods while listening to your explanation*
so you don't think you'd be much help to him? so, how-
ah!? *I furrow my brows and gasp as you take another bite*
why do you keep eating my ice cream?...*mumble & pout as I stare at your mouth as you eat*
"h-here to serve?" *clears my throat in an attempt to cover up my stammering & stares at you incredulously*
so..you're only willing to hang out with me because I have ice cream? is that what it is? *I quirk an eyebrow and smirk as I lean closer, my elbows on the table as my chin rests on my palms*

@{S} Daehyun Youngmin hyung is the one who's good with numbers and he tends to be more organized on his own. I would probably just get in the way if I tried to help him out so it's better this way. I guess that means I'll have to take care of business while he's gone...
*chuckles when I see you resisting to protest against me, taking another bite just to see your reaction*
Of course I don't mind taking some time out to sit with you. Our policy extends to our staff as well. I'm here to serve. And you also come with delicious ice cream.

@{N} Kwangmin ♛ I guess something must have come up..*nods slowly as I keep my gaze on the spoon as I push the ice cream around*
h-hey~
*my eyes widen as you take a bite of my ice cream*
I agree..he does spend a lot of time in the office...
and..are you sure you don't mind?
*I ask and then watch as you steal another bite, my nose scrunches slightly and my brows furrow as I resist the urge to slap your hand away from my bowl (but really, I just look like I'm pouting pitifully)*
wh-! *I stop before I can even say anything when I see the happy expression on your face, unable to allow myself to be the reason for your mood to change*

@{S} Daehyun I was just feeling a little hungry so I stopped in to satisfy my sweet tooth.
*chuckles placing my chin on my palms while nodding as I listen to your story*
Youngmin hyung just left you here by yourself? Hmmm that's not really like him. Something must have come up.
*takes one of the spoons from the side of the table, stealing a scoop of your ice cream and plopping it into my mouth with a chuckle*
Besides, I think he deserves a break. He does most of the work around the office so it's only fair he gets some time off. But since he left you all alone I wouldn't mind keeping you company.
*quickly steals another scoop of your ice cream, my ears twitching happily from the mellow sweetness*

@{N} Kwangmin ♛ well~ *stabs the spoon into the ice cream and leaves it there before talking with my hands*
your brother was here earlier...but I'm not sure what happened..he kinda disappeared.
what brings you here?
*points at you as I ask before picking up the spoon again, taking a bite while still looking at you and listening*

@{S} Daehyun *sits down across from you and smiles*
What are you doing here? Well, aside from obviously eating ice cream.
*rubs the back of my head nervously after realizing how stupid my question was*

@{N} Kwangmin ♛ *looks up*
oh~ hi Kwangmin~ *waves at you with spoon in hand*

@{S} Daehyun *walks into the parlor humming as I spot you sitting on a chair*
Daehyun-ssi?

@{N} Youngmin ♛ [*pokes your arm*]

@{N} Youngmin ♛ *shrugs & stirs the ice cream around* I guess so.

@{S} Daehyun *nods*
Ah, that's why you're so good~
