Enchanted

II.

"Buckle up Buddy. What did I say about seatbelts?"

"Put your seatbelt on so you won't be thrown off of your seat when it gets bumpy.", the little boy recites properly at the back of the car.

"That's nice. Did you get all your things and your snackbox?"

"Yes Mom. Nana prepared it for me. I have it here."

"Okay, you two take care on your way to school. Will you be waiting for his off?"

"Yup. It's just about 4 hours today so I'll just stay in a coffee shop, finish a little bit of work."

"Okay, you do that. But don't overdo yourself. You've been working non-stop these past few weeks. As for me, I have to go. I have a meeting this morning. Bye guys, have fun and see you later."

Jennie brings her head inside the car and gives Lisa a hard peck in her lips and slight gentle brush to her jaw. Then gives the little boy at the back a kiss in his forehead.

After leaving few stern instructions to Nana, Lisa headed to the nearest coffee shop. She found a seemingly newly-opened coffee shop just few blocks from Lean's school.

"Hmm this seems nice.", Lisa muses to herself as she parks her car in front of the establishment. It's just almost 9am and their are already a lot of customers. "Maybe the food and coffee are good.", she says to herself. Once out of the car and with her laptop in her shoulder, she entered the shop, ringing the chimes in the process.

"Welcome to Roses!", an amiable staff greeted her near the doors and she smiles. There were a few customers lined up in the take-out section and she was led to one of the chairs beside the window. It was a perfect spot for her to peacefully work, at the same time she could clearly watch passers-by.

When the menu was given to her by the same girl she ordered for pancakes and brewed coffee. Few pastries and cookies were offered to her but she politely declined, saying that she would try them some other time.

While waiting for her order, she set up her computer and started doing whatever she could. After a week of hellish work at the office, she decided to take a 2 days leave to rest and to give more time for Lean. Jennie would take over considering that she is the Vice President for operation and finances. She could very well take over the operation so Lisa could rest.

Browsing the sales and some proposals, the crew arrived with her orders. She starts to eat along with reading. The pancake is to her liking, not too sweet, and definitely not bland. Her coffee? Perfect. In her mind, she would definitely come back.

"Yes Rosiee, I got it! I'll take care of it after my class. I'll be back this afternoon to check the supplies!"

A loud voice erupted from the counter that is just almost few meter away from her. And Lisa swears her heart skipped a beat upon hearing that familiar voice.

"Bye! I have to go now!"

The voice still came and Lisa immediately looked up and got a glimpse of the back of the girl that just went out of the shop.

Jisoo??

It can't be her. But the voice is very much like hers, and even the backside, Lisa can't be mistaken.

"Excused me, is that Jisoo who just went out?", she asks the crew who served her food when she passed by.

"Kim Jisoo? Yes it's her. Do you know her?"

"Oh..uhmm..we briefly met in an event. Does she work here?"

"She's a co-owner of the café."

Ohh.
