MYOUI MINA'S POINT OF VIEW




"Good morning Mina." Greeted by the woman with big round eyes who's wiping the counter.


"What's good in the morning, Jihyo?" I asked to her while fixing my apron and hairnet.


"Because we're still alive, Mina."


"I'm alive but barely breathing."I sighed to Jihyo.


"Stop being dramatic, Mina, and don't murder Mr. JYP's picture. You know he always checks all his face inside this coffee shop." That's the only time I stop stabbing his picture with the scissors I'm holding.


It's better if I should stab him in real life. Oh God, I'm sorry for thinking violently; I really hate that man. Who wouldn't when my only day off was ruined by his order to replace my sick co-worker. Why can't he just let me take a peaceful restday? Because JYP is too greedy for money, he thinks he'll lose a lot if he doesn't have enough workers at his freaking coffee shop! JYP is too obsessed with himself that he named the coffee shop after his initials, JYPE COFE. And he's also the endorser, so his freaking face is all around this place!


I sacrifice my extra sleep on my bed, and what I hate the most is being away with my comfiest stuffed toy that always cuddles me no matter how hot or cold the weather. I miss you already, Big Tim.


My daydreaming stopped when we heard the bell rings, indicating there's a customer. So I position myself in the cashier to take the customer's order. How lucky can I be? Because of all the people in the world. My ex-girlfriend walks towards the counter. She's now in front of me, looking at the menu on the screen above. She's been standing for 10 minutes, and there is a pile of customers groaning behind her.


"Miss, can you just choose a random drink if you can't decide." The woman with glasses said to my ex-girlfriend.

"Yes, she's right, just order any drink."

"We are all late on our jobs, so please stay out of the way."

"I really need a coffee, so please let me order first."

"Is this your first time ordering?"


Those were words said to my ex-girlfriend by other customers who badly need their coffees.


"Don't you have eyes? Can't you see that I'm still thinking? If you can't wait for me to finished with my order, just go to different coffee shops. There's no lesbian who can't decide what she's gonna order in other shops. So better start walking out of this place." My ex-girlfriend barked at them, which almost make everyone leave the line. She's still short-tempered until now.


She walks closer to the counter, and I think it's a sign that she'll order now.


"Good morning, ma'am. Can I take your order?" She smiles at me, showing her deep dimple.


"Stop calling me ma'am, just call me Chaeyoung. Quit acting like you don't me, Mina." Chaeyoung fixes her hair; it becomes her mannerism when she's feeling shy.


"What's your order Chaeyoung?"


"One latte, one americano, one strawberry jam toast and ham, and egg bagel. Uhmm, please — add a lot of ketchup in the bagel." I type all of her orders, and she pays using her card.


"Please wait for 5 minutes at your table for your order, Chaeyoung."



There are only two customers behind Chaeyoung because some of them got scared, and the others can't wait for their turns.


"Mina, bring this to table 23. And you only got 30 minutes." Then Jihyo winks at me.


I'm walking towards my grumpy ex-girlfriend; she's busy with her phone when I cough intentionally. I put the tray on her table.


"Your order is here, ma'am." Then she stands up to pull a chair for me.


"Let's eat; I only have 30 minutes." She nods then proceed to eat her strawberry toast.


"This coffee is good, but my wife makes the best coffee." Chaeyoung uttered after finishing her mug. I just smile at what she said.


We are done eating when I noticed strawberry jam on her lower lip. So I decide to wipe it using my thumb and lick it while Chaeyoung's eyes are all on me.


"Did you enjoy your food?" I asked her because she's not moving a bit.


"Yeah — yes, but I'd rather eat waffles every Sunday because my wife only cooks it on her day off."


"Wow, so you moved on already from me?" I asked while acting like I'm hurt.


"Yeah, I'm done with you, Mina. And I'm so in love with my wife that I might stare at her all day while she's working." She smiles, trying to persuade me with her dimples.


"No, Chaeyoung! Go home and clean our bedroom. And please change the sheets before we use the bed again tonight." I tried to look mad.


"Ahh, but — "


"No buts, Chaeyoung, or you will not have your reward later." I whispered the last words only to her ear.


"Yes, ma'am, I'll clean the whole house."


After cleaning the table, Chaeyoung carries the tray and hands it to Jihyo, a good customer.


She's leaving any minute but decides to steal a kiss from me.


"Bye, Mrs. Son, see you later." She mumbles.


"Bye, my Big Tim." Then Chaeyoung walks towards the exit, but before she pulls the door, she mouthed, 'I love you.'


"So she does it again? Scaring customers when you're cuddling day was ruined by Mr. JYP. Just flip the signage on the door after 10 minutes; I'm sure your naughty wife flip it to the close side, so customers will think we're close. She's still playful even you two were married." Jihyo exclaimed while laughing.


"Yeah"


Then I remember the day she broke up with me and shouts to the whole park that she no longer want me to be her girlfriend because — she wants me to be her wife. I chuckled when I remember that I almost run from her while crying, but I stop myself when she kneels in front of me while holding a ring inside a small box.


'Aishh, why did I marry that idiot.'
