Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37: FIRST DAY

TSK.

After the big lunch that Yuno had, he returned to HoneyMoon Convenience Store with Ki Gayoon.

This ahjussi is really serious about making me write a food review.

"Ahjuhyung, aren’t you busy?" Yuno asked, frowning. "Shouldn’t you be working or something instead of wasting your time here?"

"I’m busy," Ki Gayoon said, and then he sat down on the chair. Then he pulled out a laptop bag from his Inventory. "That’s why I’m going to work here until you finish the food review I’m asking you to write."

Haaah.

Let’s just get it done and over with fast instead of complaining.

Yuno went straight to the freezer. "Ahjuhyung, what kind of ice cream do you like? I’ll treat you since you fed me well. See? I’m being nice to you."

So you should let it slide if I half-assed the food review.

Ki Gayoon just scoffed at him. "Give me any coffee-flavored ice cream."

Aigoo.

Yuno picked the first ice cream he got his hands on for himself, and then he picked up the coffee ice cream for Ki Gayoon. "Here, Ahjuhyung."

Ki Gayoon accepted the coffee ice cream that he handed, but he knitted his eyebrows while looking at the ice cream in Yuno’s hand. "Red bean ice cream, for real? Only old people eat that flavor."

"Is that so? I wouldn’t know since I don’t have a favorite ice cream flavor. I just grab what my hand touches first."

"Then let’s make that your next assignment."

"What?"

"Try all the flavors of ice cream in this store," Ki Gayoon said while unwrapping his coffee ice cream. "List it down and rank them according to what you like best."

Yuno mentally pulled Ki Gayoon’s hair while maintaining a poker face. "I hope you get bald soon, Ahjuhyung."

Yes, Ahjuhyung.

Oops.

Ki Gayoon clicked his tongue at Yuno’s slip of the tongue. "You switched your inner and outer voice, you little rusty shit."

HEH.

Ki Gayoon didn’t expect Noh Yuno to write a serious food review after he threatened the punk, but he did.

He was now reading the long-ass food review that the little shit wrote earlier.

It was obvious that Noh Yuno poured his heart and soul into writing bullshit as a "review" for each dish.

That punk is really not scared of me.

He would have been pissed because it was clear Noh Yuno half-assed the review, but there was one that improved his mood.

["I like this seafood cheese tteokbokki the best. I’d like to have this again. 10/10 stars."]

It was the only dish that Noh Yuno said he wanted to eat again.

And the only dish that he gave 10 out of 10 stars.

"Boss, did Noh Yuno-ssi like his lunch?"

"Yes," Gayoon responded to Baekho who was driving the car. "That punk said he liked the seafood cheese tteokbokki the best."

"Oh?" Baekho asked, the smile in his voice evident. "Did you tell Noh Yuno-ssi that you were the one who cooked the tteokbokki?"

Yes, Gayoon was the one who cooked the seafood cheese tteokbokki that Noh Yuno liked. It was one of the few easy dishes that he could make right. Hence, he decided to cook for that punk and see if his taste bud was really broken.

Fortunately, Noh Yuno liked the dish that he made.

"Noh Yuno doesn’t need to know that," Gayoon said, smirking while reading Noh Yuno’s positive review of the dish that he made. "And he shouldn’t know that I’ll be the one cooking his food from now on."

***

FRIDAY used to be Yuno’s favorite day of the week because he didn’t want to work during weekends.

But not anymore.

Yuno had an indifferent look on his face while standing in front of the full-length mirror in his bedroom.

"Who would have thought I’d be wearing this uniform again?"

Yes, he was wearing the chic white uniform with a harness that all Guides from the National Guide Bureau were required their wear at work.

Now I look like a proper Guide.

Oh, well.

Yuno came out of his bedroom and headed straight to the kitchen because Ki Gayoon was serious about teaching him how to appreciate food. "Ahjuhyung, should I give you Guiding now before I go to work?"

Ki Gayoon, who was already sitting in the center seat of the table, knitted his eyebrows. "Why?"

"What do you mean ’why?’ I’ll be at the Bureau, so we can’t have lunch together. Unless you want Guide Bambi-ssi to cling to you."

"You’re always worried about stupid things."

Yuno sat down, ignoring the grumpy old man’s insult. "Let’s do the Guiding now."

Why does Ahjuhyung look so smug?
