You Were So Gloomy Last Week

"Will you go to the hotel today?"

Ethan's question attracted Lucas' attention. But, he answered without looking at the former. 

"I won't. I'll be there tomorrow. The banquet's on the night after tomorrow."

Lucas put two more swirls of strawberry frosting on the cupcake before he was finished with his tasks. Putting the piping bag down, he brought the tray of cupcakes inside the chiller. The pistachio cupcakes were for tomorrow.

Ethan looked at his friend, sensing that something was different with him. Tilting his head slightly, he crossed his arms over the chest. His gaze remained on Lucas.

"Did something good happen? You're kind of gloomy for the last two weeks but today, you look happier ah."

Ethan didn't know what happened to Lucas recently. His friend's mood was not as cheerful as usual. He thought it was due to Lucas being busy traveling between the cafe and the hotel.

"...don't talk nonsense."
