In the Café

*EARLIER*
Chaewon POV

It's getting dark.. Am I sure that Hyeju will still be in the café? I mean she works overnight but it's still early.

I walked after having a rough day, I planned on going to the café to meet Hyeju after what happened. I probably hurt her or what, but how though?

I arrived outside of the café and looked at the window to check if anyone's there.

Hmm I guess no one's-

Hyeju?

I squinted my eyes and saw Hyeju laughing with.. someone.. I took a closer look at their face but couldn't familiarize who that person is. I'm sure that's not Yves. She wouldn't come here since she knew I'll be here.

I don't know what to feel when I looked at her. I used to see that smile before.. But not that wide. I felt the tightness in my chest. I didn't know what to do but stare at them being so happy.

I stared at them for quite a time and couldn't understand how I felt. Suddenly, Hyeju glanced in my direction and I hid right away.

Did she see me?? Did she notice it was me?

I hid at the side of the café so she couldn't see me. I was about to leave the area but heard the café door open.

"We're going home now!" Hyeju shouted

'We're'?

"Hey Hyeju~ Wanna eat dinner at my house? Since you live alone, I might as well cook for you." the girl beside Hyeju said.

"Sure, I don't mind." Hyeju replied.

They walked pass by me and converse on there way.

I guess.. this gift was for that girl.

I said as I held onto the gift that Hyeju left at the café. I might as well just go home. This day had been rough.

I probably won't go to this café tomorrow. I just had a bad day with both Yves and Hyeju.

*A FEW HOURS AGO*

Finally, morning. I went to the café and saw.. No Hyeju on the counter. I was worried since I probably said something wrong to her yesterday, but what was it?

"Hey Chaewon." Yves greeted in such tiring tone.

"Hey? Did you sleep?" I asked out of concern.

"Not really."

"Why? And.. Where's Hyeju?" I asked

"I got home late last night waiting for her. But she didn't go to work. I texted her and received no replies."

"Yves.. Do you want to sit and talk to me about it?"

We sat down at the nearby seats and also ordered our drinks.

"Chaewon. What happened yesterday?" Yves asked.

"Yesterday..? I don't know. It was so sudden."

"Did I do something wrong Chaewon? She never gave me that disappointing look before." Yves said in such a sad tone.

"Hey Yves, you didn't do anything wrong okay? We'll talk to her about it as soon as she wants to meet."

"I don't wanna get abandoned again Chaewon, what if she never comes back to work again?" her eyes started to glow and was about to cry.

"She'll come back Yves. How about this. Let's go back to this café at evening and hang out the whole day. You down with that?" I suggested

"How does that make me feel better?"
