Heart Attack

"One iced americano for Moon Sua!"
"Thanks."

There it is, that soft smirk. The one Haram fell in love with.

Haram was never one to believe in love at first sight until she saw her. Everything about her is perfect, even her name. Moon Sua... She could've sworn she's was angel in disguise.

The way she tucks her hair behind her ear as she waits and looks at her phone. The way she'll talk to the other customers while they're waiting as well. The way she smiles at Suhyeon as she grabs her coffee. Everything about her is perfect.

She frequents at Haram and Suhyeon's cafe & crystal shop, Crystals & Coffee. She orders the same thing every time, an iced americano in a medium cup. Occasionally she'll get a bagel, saying that she didn't get a chance to eat breakfast before leaving.

Haram knows how weird it may seem to notice everything she does, but she can't help but watch Sua as soon as she walks into the shop. Some days she'll get all dressed up, hoping Sua will take a look at the crystals they have so she can ask if she needs any help. But every day it's the same. She comes in, orders her coffee, and leaves. And she can't help but feel disappointed at times.

"Rami, you're staring again."
"Ah, sorry Tsuki!"

Tsuki is a close friend and coworker of Haram. She started working in the shop not long after it opened, and soon her and her little sister Haruna moved in with Haram. Her and Haruna like to tease her often about her "crush." They will ask daily, "did you finally ask her out?"

Haram knows how obvious she's made it that she likes Moon Sua. From the little glances at her, to the way she could talk about her for hours. Suhyeon encourages her to try and get her Instagram and Tsuki tells her she should just start a conversation, but both seem so impossible. Haram freezes up when she sees her, how is she supposed to talk to her?

"Rami!" Tsuki runs up to Haram, "A customer needs help and unfortunately I am now very busy so can you help them? Great, thanks love you!" She says quickly before speed-walking away. Haram doesn't question her, Tsuki has her strange moments sometimes. She just giggles to herself before setting her phone down and going to find the customer.

There was only one girl in the store, so she assumed that's the customer Tsuki was referencing. "Excuse me miss, you needed help with something?"

As the lady turns around, Haram realize why Tsuki rushed off. "Ah yes, I wanted to know about some of these crystals. I frequent the cafe often, yet I've never been in this section."

She smiles. It's the same smile, the one that she gives to Suhyeon every time she picks up her coffee.

It's her. It's Moon Sua.

Flustered, Haram can barely respond, "Oh, yes yes um... Sorry! Yes, what did you want to know?" Even though she feels as though dying inside, she attempts to put a smile on her face.

To Haram's surprise, Sua giggles, and she just about melts at that. "Well, I thought this one was pretty. What is it?" She holds up a blue crystals with white and grey spots throughout it, "That is a Lapis Lazuli, known to enhance truth and imagination." Nodding, Sua sets the stone back down softly and continues to look around. 

Haram leaves her be, admiring from a distance. Waiting--Hoping for Sua to wave her over and ask for help again.

A few minutes pass before she turns around again, looking at Haram and smiling.

"I have another question."
Haram smiles and nods, quickly walking over to her as she picks up a light pink crystal.

"What does this one mean?"

Her ears redden, "That one is Rose Quartz. It.. Well it's known for attracting love. It's one of my favorite crystals! We actually have one in the shape of a Cresent moon!" She picks up the carved one, handing it to Sua. She observes it, rubbing the crystal with her fingers.

"Pretty, isn't it?"

She nods, "How much is it?"

"Only 10,000 won."

Now, obviously it wasn't actually 10,000 won. It's one of the shops bigger pieces, so it's usually around 15,000-20,000 won, but Haram couldn't help herself. She just thought she could tell Tsuki that she'll pay the rest herself.
"I'll get it." She says while still looking at the crystal.

"Great, I'll help you at the register then."

"And if you could just sign this receipt, the other one is your copy." As Sua signs, Haram wraps the crystal up and bags it. Right when she's finished, Sua hands her the receipt and grabs her bag. She leaves quickly, seeming rushed. As she left, Haram could've sworn she saw a red tint covering Sua's face as she walks out.
Looking at the signed receipt, she notices a small note on the back.

"I've noticed your staring by the way.

***-****-**** , Text me ♡ - Sua"

It felt as though the entire world stopped then and there. She read the paper over and over again. There was no way that was real, right?

"Rami! No way!" The paper is snatched from Haram and she jumps at the sudden sound and movement.

"Suhyeon, give it back!"

Suhyeon raises her hand up, smiling brightly. "You actually got her number! Oh my goodness you have to text her, she's totally interested!"

Haram covers her face, "No way..." Suhyeon continues to read over the note again, squealing and jumping around as she does so. Haram couldn't tell if she was embarrassed because of Suhyeon, or happy because of Sua. All she knew is that Sua had noticed her staring, and her face was burning up.

She couldn't believe it. Quite honestly, Sua is the girl of her dreams. She's sweet and beautiful. Her voice is something unexplainable, it's the perfect combination of smooth but raspy.

Yet nothing compares to her smile, nothing. That's the reason Haram could never take her eyes off her.

She wondered how long Sua had noticed her staring. Did Suhyeon happen to tell her one day, or did she just manage to sneak a look at Haram without her noticing? Who knows.

Suhyeon hands Haram back the reciept as Tsuki walks back into the shop, beginning to tell her about how Haram finally got Sua's number. She stares at the piece of paper for a bit and pulls out her phone.
Quickly, Haram types the number in and sends a simple message.

Cafe Girl ♡

Hey, it's Haram.
