Chapter 100
“Yes! I like cats! Like a little kitten…….”
“I want a rabbit.”
“Can you do a wolf?”
“I don’t have that shape…….”
“Then a dog, at least…….”
“I think that’s possible.”
“Yay!”
After that, Mr. Kim put all his effort into making cotton candy of various shapes. He worked meticulously and with great care, and works of quite good shape, even to his own eyes, came out one after another. Making several in a row was tiring, but Mr. Kim was excited and worked diligently.
Full-grown adults were gathered around, watching him work and fussing like children. Making cotton candy among them, he felt as if he had truly become the cotton candy vendor he had watched as a child. Only now did he finally feel that way.
“Wow…… this is cute too.”
“You’re amazing, as expected!”
“Thank you, Mister!”
“Sell a lot!”
“We’ll come again!”
“Thank you for the food!”
They took their various shaped cotton candies and left, excited like children.
Looking at their excited backs as they held the cotton candy he had made, Mr. Kim, who felt a lump in his throat again, secretly wiped away tears once more. This time, they were tears of a different kind than before.
He was undoubtedly doing the cool and romantic work he had admired since he was young.
Now, he truly felt like he could become a wonderful cotton candy vendor.

“Hey, don’t eat it with it all over your mouth!”
Heesu snapped and wiped the cotton candy off Rufus’s mouth with a wet wipe. No matter how much she warned him, Rufus kept trying to shove the cotton candy into his mouth whole and munch on it, so his mouth area was covered in cotton candy. He truly was like a child. It was even more so when he was being scolded by Heesu but was still excited and chattering like a kid.
“No matter how big it is, it’s gone in an instant once it’s in your mouth!”
“Yeah, yeah. So be careful not to get it all over you and eat it carefully.”
“Cotton candy is hard…….”
“Why don’t you watch how the others eat it and learn a bit?”
At that, Rufus looked around.
Everyone except Rufus was eating neatly. Violen gently tore off small pieces with his hand and ate them little by little, while Alburn looked at his flower-shaped cotton candy over and over again, then carefully took a bite and smiled happily, repeating the action. It seemed he intended to savor it as much as possible, preferring to look at it rather than eat it. Meanwhile, Edstan, who was standing askew and tearing off cotton candy in an unnecessarily cool way, was startled when he saw Heesu scolding Rufus, then,
“Hey!”
He quickly rubbed the cotton candy all over his mouth and face, then stared at Heesu with expectant eyes. Heesu looked at him, dumbfounded.
“You got more on you than Rufus, so you want to be scolded more?”
“Yes! If possible, it’d be even better if you cursed at me and hit me!”
“You f*****g pervert. Give me that! You don’t deserve to eat cotton candy!”
“N-no! Please, no confiscation, just scold me……!”
Heesu, trying to take the cotton candy, and Edstan, trying to protect it, struggled. Heesu tried to snatch it quickly, but Edstan, being tall, lifted the cotton candy high above his head, so she couldn’t reach it and couldn’t snatch it away instantly. Heesu stood on her tiptoes, frantically flailing her arms upwards, and shouted,
“Ah, give it back!”
“No! This, at least, never……!”
“Give it back!”
“I don’t want to!”
The people watching whispered again. Even though an adult man and woman were having such a childish and funny struggle in the middle of the park, their good looks somehow made it seem cool. In fact, from a distance, it just looked like a normal lovers’ quarrel. It might have been different if they had heard the dialogue up close.
“Wh-what is it? Is it a drama?”
“It looks like a commercial…….”
“What is that? Where on earth do they sell that cotton candy?”
“I don’t know what it is, but it looks really amazing……”
“Ah, they sell it over there!”
“Let’s go too!”
Because of the people flocking in that way, Mr. Kim’s cotton candy stand had been bustling with customers since earlier.
