「 Let's play dress up? 」|| Minsung

30 - Good luck Jisung

On Monday morning

He drummed his fingers on the café counter with a permanent pout on his face. For the last 3 days his face was set in a sad frown that everyone that walked through the door could feel the once lively atmosphere of the cafe filled with dark, gloomy clouds.

" Welcome to cupcafé. " He said with half hearted smile, causing the lady to frown as she stepped inside the café.

" Jisung, how are you? " She asked suddenly aware of the dark atmosphere of the cafe. She double checked the cafe to see if she entered the right one before walking to the counter.

" Fine, Mrs. Jung. " He muttered. " Usual? " He asked as he started to walk towards the coffee machine to prepare the usual 3 shots of espresso for the workaholic lady, mrs. Jung.

" You don't seem fine, is there something wrong? " She asked with motherly concern. She was a regular customer and her work day always started with her usual coffee and Jisung's bright smile but now something seemed to be missing.

" It's a love problem Mrs. Jung. You wouldn't understand. " Seungmin stepped out from the kitchen with the freshly baked cookies and set them in the display glass. Mrs. Jung looked offended as she placed her hand in mock hurt.

" How dare you kim Seungmin? Just because I'm always busy with my office life doesn't mean I don't have a love life. "

" Mr. Jung would disagree. " Seungmin snickered. Mr and Mrs. Jung were a lovely couple who usually visited the cafe on weekends hence everyone working in the cafe knew them.

" Let's not talk about him. Tell me Jisung, is it about a boy? Or a girl? "

" A boy. " He whispered with a pout.
" Aww, poor Jisungie. Did he hurt you? Tell me and I'll beat him with a bread stick. "

" You should beat Jisung with that bread stick. " Seungmin chimed and received a glare from Jisung.

" Ahh.. You shouldn't quarrel with your loved ones. " Mrs. Jung shook her head, not aware of the situation but still trying to help Jisung with his mood.

" Don't worry Mrs. Jung. I'm going to talk to him and get it sorted. " Jisung said trying to reassure the lady since she must already be busy with her own life.

" Yes you should. The later you sort it out the more damage it would cause. To not only you but your loved ones too. " She said with a calming smile and Jisung handed her the coffee with a determined nod.

" Aha young love. Always gets me. " She said with a sigh and walked out of the cafe with her coffee in her hand.

" Can I leave early today? " Jisung questioned to seungmin as soon as Mrs. Jung left.
" Yeah why? "

" I think it's about time I talk to him. " Jisung replied with determination in his voice. Just like Mrs. Jung said he didn't want Minho finding out through someone else.

" Did you give the check back to Ms. Jiselle? " He shook his head in reply. He had decided to give the check back since Jiselle had already paid the bill, he didn't need the constant reminder of his lies so he'll give the check back.

" I'll give it before meeting Minho today. "

Seungmin nodded. He hated to see his best friend so down lately but now it felt like everything would go back to normal.

.

" Are you ready Ms. Jiselle? " Mr. Choi asked as she stepped inside the expensive car they were gonna take to Mr. Lee's office for the meeting.

" As ready as I can ever be! " She said with a wide smile. Finally her dream was coming through. She had prepared for this meeting for ages and now she finally had a chance to put her ideas to work.

She took deep breaths to calm herself, even though she was excited there was a tiny bit of her part anxious for the future of the meeting.

She was sure she'll get the deal since she had prepared the best presentation and covered every point that Mr lee might possibly ask.

.

Jisung walked up the stairs to the front door of Park house and knocked on it. He clutched the check in his hand as he prepared his excuse that he will tell Jiselle once she would ask why he wanted to return the check.

" Oh Jisung, why are you here? " One of the head housemaid asked him as she opened the front door.

" Is Ms. Jiselle in? " He questioned as he rubbed his hands on his jeans.

" Oh no. Ms. Jiselle had a meeting today with Mr. Lee. She seemed very excited. " She said with a giggle but Jisung's face lost it's color.

" Uh.. Where is the meeting? " He questioned and crossed his fingers in hope.

" It's at Mr. Lee's office building at 7 o'clock. " She replied and quickly glanced at her watch to see 6.34 on her watch. " There's still time do you— "

She looked up to see Jisung already walking away with quick steps.
" Is he okay? "

.

" Hyung, Ms. Park is here for the meeting. " Jeongin informed the older who was sitting in his office patiently waiting for Jiselle.

His face lit up on hearing a familiar name and immediately stood up. " Where is she? "

" Calm down hyung. You look like a love struck puppy waiting for its owner. " Jeongin chuckled at his boss who only scoffed, too excited to tell his assistant off.

" Is she in the meeting room? " He questioned and skipped towards it as soon as his assistant nodded.

" He is down bad. " The younger said with a sigh and smile on his face. It was rare to see his boss so happy in love that he wanted to keep everything that came between their relationship away.

" Goodluck Jisung. "
