The aroma of coffee greeted Jinsoul as she entered the cafe. She didn't have any classes for today so she decided to take an extra shift at the cafe, Aroma Supreme. As she entered the shop, she saw her co-worker, Youngeun, already preparing the machines for service.
"Good morning, Jinsoul unnie." Youngeun greeted Jinsoul.
"Good morning to you too, Youngeunie. I see that you're early today." Jinsoul replied.
"Umm yeah, my mom left early for work so I decided to come with her. She dropped me off just a while ago." Youngeun continued on what she was doing.
"Can you please check if we have enough cups there? The baristas from yesterday left a lot of used and uncleaned cups so I'm not sure if we have enough cups that we can use today." Youngeun added. Jinsoul went next to Youngeun, near the coffee machine to check.
"We got like 10 cups here. I think that'll be enough for now. I'll wash more cups so we can use it for later." Jinsoul gathered the used cups just right next to those unused ones and went to the sink to wash it. She wore her apron for work as she started to rinse the cups.
"Good. It's still a little early. I doubt that a lot of customers would come here." Youngeun stand corrected. After a minute or so, people began to fill the place. Jinsoul thought that it is a school day that's why plenty of students come in and out of the cafe.
The place was packed. Jinsoul wasn't even sure if she and Youngeun could keep up with the number of people ordering. She was unsure to why their boss only hires two baristas a day when there are thousands of people who come to the cafe everyday.
Well, everything has its end. The customers began to lessen as time passed. The cafe wasn't deserted nor packed, it was now your usual cafe. Just some people here and there – some with their laptops and others with their newspaper.
"Ugh finally we can rest!" Jinsoul said.
"Wow, I thought that the line of customers won't stop. We did a pretty good job. We make a good team." Youngeun fist pumped with Jinsoul.
"Yeah, we make a pretty good team. Good job." Jinsoul patted the younger girl's head. "We don't have a lot of customers right now so you can go ahead and take a rest. I'll take care of this."
"Are you sure, unnie? I don't want to leave you all alone here." Youngeun said.
"I'm fine. You were here really early so you deserve some rest. I'll call you when something comes up. Now go and rest." Jinsoul stated. Youngeun gave Jinsoul a smile and proceeded to the breakroom.
Jinsoul spent most of her time alone sitting and waiting for customers to come and order. In that span of time, nobody came. The cafe is just quiet as usual. The clicking of keyboards echoed throughout the small space. Jinsoul almost fell into a slumber, not until she heard a pounding sound from the entrance.
"Huh? What's that? What happened to him?" Whispers and murmurs were heard from the customers inside the cafe. Since Jinsoul was the only worker present there, she decided to check what was going on.
As Jinsoul got closer to the man on the other side of the glass, she noticed that the man looks ill. She couldn't quite point her finger on what's wrong with him, but she's sure that he's very very sick.
"Excuse me?" Jinsoul knocked on the glass. "Are you okay?"
As if on cue, the man looked directly on Jinsoul's eyes. "Help me, please. I don't...I don't feel so well." Jinsoul felt defensive at that moment. She had this gut feeling that she needs to keep the door shut.
Jinsoul held on the door's handles before speaking. "You look like you're really sick. Just stay put. I'm going to call for help."
"No, no! Please. Let me in. It's very hot here. I think I'll feel better on a cold environment. This cafe is airconditioned so please, let me in." The man begged.
