Necklace of Fate

Good Laugh Good Night

Chaeyeon bit her finger, feeling nervous because of the middle age lady who was sitting at the table near the window. She waved, asking the menu.

Chaeyeon saw it, and she took the menu. She slowly walked toward her. Should I call her name and greet her? Did she even remember me? Or just smile? But what if she remembered me and I didn't greet her?

"Mrs. Bae, this is the menu. Today we have special menu with 30% discount for it."

The lady was Mrs. Bae Yoon Jeong, she was Chaeyeon's high-school scary teacher. They had never been close.

Mrs. Bae stared at Chaeyeon and that made Chaeyeon gulp nervously. Who wouldn't be nervous while being fixed by two sharp and intimidating eyes?

"Hum... Lee...Chae... yeon...?" Mrs Bae looked at Chaeyeon's name tag.

"Lee Chaeyeon. I'm Lee Chaeyeon. I was your student at IZONE high school." Chaeyeon bowed and smiled awkwardly.

"I see. I'd like an Americano and Cinnamon buns" A warm smile was drawn on the older woman's face.

"Okay, thank you."

Chaeyeon checked Mrs Bae who was sitting there quietly. She stayed there for several hours, busy with her laptop.

Before the door's chime could be heard again, the red liquid in Chaeyeon's pendant started twisting again. There was stunning girl with blonde middle short hair walking into the café. She was wearing a pink outfit with short pants.

"Hello." The blonde girl shyly greeted while she was at the doorstep.

"Sakura-sshi, are you looking for Minjoo-sshi?" Yujin didn't let Sakura answer "Too bad, she's not gonna come tonight. She said she had something to do."

"Ah... my bad. I should have call her before coming." Sakura scratched her head awkwardly. Gladly she didn't think that she was coming here to meet Yujin's friend. Sakura scanned the café, looking around. She hadn't seen the girl that she was looking for yet.

"Would you like to have a drink? Maybe staying there for a while. I mean, it'd be such a waste to leave already."

"What should I do now I'm here?" She remained quiet for a few seconds. "I'll order a green tea latte then." Sakura tried so hard to act natural. She was too afraid that they would notice that she came to the café on purpose to meet Chaeyeon, and not Minjoo.

"Okay, just sit wherever you want. We'll proceed your order."

Sakura hesitated about her seat. She hadn't seen her crush yet. She looked around until a voice startled her. "Miyawaki Sakura?"

Sakura looked at the person. That voice was familiar. She got excited when she saw it was her favorite teacher, Mrs. Bae Yoon Jeong.

"Mrs. Bae?" Her eyes widened, she rush to the older woman and they hugged tightly. They started making small talks, to fill the hole after the graduation.

Not long after, Chaeyeon slowly walked to them. She was holding the green tea latte, Sakura's order.

"Okay, please don't make mistake now, Chaeyeon, please be cool. Don't show a creepy smile, you need to stay with a poker face. Yeah your crush's up there but your scary teacher's also there. Shit." Chaeyeon mumbled to herself as low as she could, making sure no one could hear her. She tried to calm herself and to not grin like an idiot... and not to walk like a robot.
