Coincidental Consequences (SHINee Fanfic)

Chapter 2: Left Alone... Not.

Kae Jung's POV

"Hey hey hey~ Who was thattt??" I hooked my left arm over Sae Ra's neck as I look at the familiar stranger. 

"J-just a customer. " 

"Eaishh... Lies. You like him don't you? Ahh... love at first sight." I said it as I looked at a tomato head. 

"Not like someone who would have a crazy crush on a celebrity..." she eyed me at the corner as I scoffed at her. 

"Come on, what are the chances of being together with him in the first place?" I looked at her confidently.

"You never know, my friend." she continued arranging the books by the shop. 

I kept on thinking about what she said. 

Maybe I do stand a chance... 

"Aniya(can't be)... " I shook my head as I head back to the cafe. 

I kept looking out the transparent windows, being wary of Onew, whether he was coming today since Christmas was near. I waited until there was no more customers in the whole cafe and sighed. 

"Sigh... Looks like I'm just getting my hopes up. Hey Sae Ra?" I called her but there was no answer. I called again, still no answer so I decided to go over to the bookshop, only to find it all neat. I saw by the indoor fence sign saying it was closed. I sighed and look up. 

"Aish, jinjja(really). She left without a word." I felt a little scared because I only noticed that I was the only one left in the whole shop. 

I looked around for anyone but there was nothing but the mere moonlight creeping through the windows. I began to clean up all the dishes that my amazing colleague left me. I seriously hated him, he would always leave all the dirty jobs to me and I had no choice but to comply because sadly he was actually my manager. 

"How great... I'm all alone, and bonus is that I have to clean all of this up before I close the shop."

I sighed as I hummed SHINee's song "Hello". 

"Hello... Hello...  Nareumdaero yonggil naessoyo... " I always loved and remembers the chorus. 

As I was cleaning the dishes, I remembered the rare moments I had with Onew even if it was only just a few seconds. I sighed and smiled at the thoughts and started to dance the part as I lifted the cups to another side of the desk. 

Onew's POV

I was hoping the shop was still open to buy some delicious coffee. I literally ran and almost fell when I notice all the lights were off except the cafe. I approached the door stealthily and I almost burst out laughing as I hear our "Hello" song being sung exaggeratedly. There she was, with her arms flying dramatically, lifting the cups oe by one as she sang loudly, oblivious to my presence by the door. 

"Hello... Hello...  Nareumdaero yonggil naessoyo... " she sang loud and clear. 

I smiled as I took a deep breath to join in. 

"Hello... Hello... Jamshi yaegi hallaeyo..." she turned to face me as the light wraps itself around me, revealing myself. 

Her face was so flushed as she almost slipped the mug off the slender fingers. I smiled and silence enveloped the room.

"Onew-sshi, what are you doing here? It's closed..." She said carefully, still shocked at my sudden presence. 

I could not hold my laughter and burst out laughing like a firework. She looked at me as if I lost my mind. I opened one of my eyes to see her half-smile. 

"Are you crazy?" she asked me. 

"Ah, bata. I need 5 coffees. Please." I suddenly become serious and looked at her. 

"What?" She said, looking at me skeptically. 

"No? I guess I can just tell the rest that shops were closed and we would have to tire ourselves more..." I dragged the sentence as I turned around slowly to leave when she held my shoulder back. 

"J-just wait for a while. I get the coffees." she said as she went over and brew some coffees. 

The coffee smell suddenly swirled in the room, making me feel all relaxed and calm. 

"You like yours vanilla right?" she asked me, bursting my calm bubble. 

"Nae(yes), how do you know?" I asked her, only to make her more red.

"You always buy coffee from here." she smiled back at me sincerely.

I smiled back and looked around the dark room. 

"Why are you alone in here? And its late..." I asked out of concern for this young lady. 

"Well, my dear Sae Ra left me because apparently today was her Grandmother's birthday and my amazing manager left me dishes to do before I close the shop because his girlfriend was waiting for him at a bar to celebrate her birthday as well. So, I'm stuck here and as long as these dishes are done, I can't go." she told me in a single breath. 

I blinked at her speech as I laughed a little. I furrowed my eyebrows and thought for a moment. 

I'm sure the boys won't mind cold coffee. 

I look at her as I went to wear an apron and lemon gloves, starting to wash off the remaining white plates. When she noticed what I was doing, she immediately tried to push me away. 

"Yah... What are you doing? This is my job. Go back and-" 

"Guenchanayo... I'll keep you company and while I'm at it, might as well help you out here." 

She kept on pestering me to go away until I couldn't stand it anymore. I stopped and turned to her, only to find her face merely inches away from mine. 

"Just do the coffees please." 

She blushed as she turned away quickly. I smiled as I look at her adorable red head. She turned to look at me for a moment, seeing me smiling like a goon. 

"W-why are you smiling?" she asked. 

"You're just so innocent." I laughed as I grin at her. 

After that night, I sighed as I watched her slowly approaching her house gates after walking her home. 

"Jal-ga!(See You)" I said to her as she waved back at me excitedly before going into the gates. 

Unknown POV

"Yah(Hey) Take them, try and get the pictures of the girl too... This will be such a juicy news." I said to my cameramen as I watched Onew looking at the girl with soft eyes.
