chapter 9.

You yawned as you typed in the address of paprikatv on your browser. For some reason, Charles Choi wants to acquire this particular streaming service, especially when it's famous for its suggestive content.

'They want to increase their assets and I have to work for that. What a pain!' You sighed. "They better pay me double for this."

After going through various streams, you ended up finding two familiar faces. This room was named 'Duke's Rap Room.' When you opened the said room, you saw that it was Duke and small Daniel, who were streaming. You watched their stream for a while, enjoying Duke's rap. All his lyrics are so soulful and authentic that you really hoped that he will one day become someone famous in the industry. Maybe you can put in a good word for him to DG.

After donating 1000 balloons, you continued to browse through the streams. You found nothing much interesting afterward, apart from discovering that the three fashion department first-years - Zoe Park, Yui Kim, and Doo Lee, and now streaming ridiculous things.

You sighed tiredly while shutting off your laptop. You picked up your phone and called your secretary/personal butler  - Sebastian Michaelis.

"Yes madam," he answered the phone on the very first ring. Someone's eager.

"Let the Chairman know that I've gone through the basic algorithm of paprikatv. It's safe for purchase but there's nothing special," you relayed the information.

"Yes Ma'am," Sebastian answered from the other side. "And anything else?"

"Yes, I'll be leaving now, so you can reschedule all of the meetings for tomorrow evening."

"I'll do that Miss."

.................

You entered the 24/7 convenience store, and as expected, Little Daniel was working the late night shift.

'Does he even get a proper night's sleep!' You couldn't help but wonder. You were worried about the poor boy's health. He's basically a kid even though he dropped out of High-school. That's what Big Daniel told you.

"Working the late night shift again?" You asked while dropping dozen of instant noodles packets.

"Yes, I'm always here at this time," Small Daniel replied.

You noticed that, for some reason, Daniel looked kind of down today.

"Are you okay, kid?" You asked as he was scanning your items.

"Of course I'm fine."

He's not.

Daniel paused slightly before continuing.
"Actually..."

...........

And that's how you found yourself, lounging in front of the store with small Daniel, in the middle of the night.

"It's okay Daniel," you tried to reassure him.
"First love is always hard to forget. But you will get over her and find someone who understands you and loves you for who you are."

Daniel couldn't help but thank you enough inside his mind. In spite of the ungodly hour, you sat there patiently and listened to his heartbreak story. It felt nice to unload this feeling from his heart. He told about the whole Yui incident, except that he did not let the real names of the characters reach you.

"Thanks for listening to my problems (Y/n)."

You beamed at him. "Don't mention it, dude, we are friends after all!"

With that being said, you quickly left the store and went on your way, leaving behind now a much more enthusiastic Daniel.

'She said that we're friends!'
