Destined To Love You
By: ShinEinah❤️It was way past midnight when Shin Woo checked his clock, his mind is filled with thoughts of what took place since the fallen groceries incident. He held his face and feels his lips--"why am I smiling?"he thought "babo Shin Woo!", he then grabbed a pillow, held it close and tight in his arms as he turned sideways smiling and shut his eyes.

Einah opened her eyes, reached for the the alarm clock on her side drawer "Oh! An hour early, jjinja???" She set the alarm off returned the clock on top of the drawer then got up. She yawned and stretched "Aaaaahhh.... that was good" she put on her slippers, went straight to her Mac, she took a selca then attached it to an e-mail that she will send to her mother, she wrote; "Don't I look good today, Ma? Good morning! Have a nice day! Saranghae!". She put on a robe, went straight to the kitchen then turn the coffee maker on, while waiting for the coffee to heat up she began to refill some empty tissue and paper towel holders, she opened the cupboard that's hanging over the sink where she found shampoos and stacks of bath soaps and remembered the incident the yesterday before the downpour, she pictured Shin's face with his flashy smile; "Unbelievable!" she thought smiling.
She poured herself a cup of coffee then went to the kitchen window and looked outside; It's still a bit dark, she held her chest. "What's this? I feel good inside, I never felt this kind of peace within me since Kris left. And it feels really nice, it's as if something really good is about to happen or maybe it already did.
Einah brought her bicycle outside, she feel so good that she decided to have breakfast at the coffee shop that she hasn't visited for quite some time, besides, she's two hours early for work. "Hey Einah!" Einah jumped upon hearing Kim's voice "you're up early today, huh! she joked. "well, I wanna have breakfast at the coffee shop today, care to join me?" Einah invited Kim "seriously?" Kim's face a question mark, teasing, then she smiled. "Yah!" Einah yelled acknowledging Kim's teasing. "What I mean is, I'd join you but our company coach has started boarding for our official trip, see.." Kim showed Einah an SNS that says "Coach has started boarding and will depart in 20" --"and you're late" Einah said then burst into laughter. "Omo! 'Got to go now but we'll do that breakfast, alright? See you in two days" Kim said as she rode and started her scooter "Yeah, we'll do that but it's gonna be on you! Take care and have fun on your trip! Send me photos!" Einah waved goodbye " Arasso! breakfast on me... Annyeong!" Kim waved back.
"Jocheun achimieyo, Einah!" she immediately turned to see where the familiar voice came from, "Shin?" she felt like she floated upon seeing him waving and wearing that refreshing smile "yah Einah! say something..." she thought as she visualized herself hitting by her own conscience at the back of her head "so there was vacancy?" she asked as Shin crossed the road to get to Einah. "Stroke of luck! A family of three left for the city a few hours before I arrive here yesterday and just before they could post the ad, I came". "A family of three? then the place must be huge for you to live there alone" --"It's huge, yeah but it's really comfortable and nice... the water pressure is not a problem too even if I'm at the 5th floor" he shared, "good to know..." Einah answered. "I'm off to work now, so, I'll see you around" Einah waved goodbye "wait!... mind if I bike with you? Actually, I have an interview today, I applied for a part time job to get me by and keep me preoccupied" ---"Wow! you did all that in a day! you're really good and hardworking, too bad no more time for girlfriend... (what did I just say?)" Einah panicked inside her "oh no, no, no!!!" Shin shook both his hands and his head in denying that he has a girlfriend" they both laughed "alright, let's go to work" then they pedaled together side by side.
They did not talk but they often exchanged meaningful glances and smiles until they reached the coffee shop, "This is me" Einah said as she stopped in front of the shop -- "you work here at the coffee shop?" Shin asked "Ani, I'm early for work actually, so, might as well grab a bite first, that's where I work" she pointed at a flower shop two blocks away from across the coffee shop and it has a huge "Close" sign onto its double door.
"Actually, I was just about to ask you if maybe you could join me for breakfast, haha!" --"there's that amazing laugh again" Einah thought "I mean, I told you last night that the only meal I had was the ramen you prepared, so--" he said smiling "alright then, breakfast it is!!! haha" Einah pronounced.
They both parked their bicycles beside the shop, Einah noticed the shop, it's newly painted and renovated colored white, light beige-- the color of her favorite coffee and chocolate brown. There were beautiful flowering plants lined on top of the white fence with a cute wooden gate designed with a heart carved on top center. "Wow!" she muttered-- "Your first time here?" Shin asked as they entered the cute gate "Since they renovated it --I hope the food taste the same..." she replied.
Shin carefully opened the door and gestured for Einah to enter so she did "Einah-yah! haha!" everybody in the room yelled and laughed showing Einah how happy they were to see her, Einah and Shin both jumped in surprise of the noise "jeoneun achimimnida!" Einah answered laughing and bowing "Oh, you guys startled me... haha, I was just about to run back outside... haha!" Shin was just laughing with her. Five people where there, Xiumin; the café's cashier slash barista where Gongchan serves as his assistant. Mr. Yoon, the shop owner and two ahjussi discussing the morning paper while having coffee. "it's really nice to see all of you guys" Einah said politely and slightly embarrassed, "We thought we'd never see you here" Xiumin said "oh Xiumin! I woke up early this morning and I realized that I really miss your pancakes and latte" Einah responded giggling. "Whatever she's having; it's on my tab!"--"oh no you don't Gongchan-ssi!" Einah butted in "if you do that then I will not come back again for a long time... haha!" "Aichst!!!" Gongchan replied with his hand on his forehead. "Say... Einah, you've got company huh?" Xiumin asked "oh yeah this is Shin--" she lightly tapped Shin's shoulder and Shin looked at the hand that touched him, he smiled; "Annyeong hasaeyo!" he politely greeted as he bowed, "he got caught in heavy rain while helping me pick up my stuff that fell all over the road yesterday after I went shopping." Einah continued as she looked at Shin, he was just smiling and slightly bowing "by the way ahjussi, you did a real great job at the shop it's so beautiful and a lot more cozy" Mr. Yoon held the collar of his coat smiled obnoxiously and said "that's to attract more customers-- see, I got you" --"haha! right, right" Einah sheepishly answered. "So what's it gonna be?" barista Xiumin asked politely as he giggled upon hearing Einah's conversation with Mr. Yoon "Oh yeah, I'll have some pancakes, egg, sunny side up and some bacon and don't forget to bring lots of maple syrup and keep my mocha coming, how about you Shin?" Einah turned to Shin "I'll have the same, I'm really curious about the pancakes now" Shin smiled at Einah. "yah, Einah" Gongchan called as she approached her "what is it Dongsaeng?" Gongchan scratch his head on Einah's remark "have you seen that movie?" --"which one?" Einah asked "I think it's title is Somewhere Only We Knowyou might wanna see it together?" Einah stared at Gongchan blankly and answered "I'm really hungry" teasing "Yah, get their food ready!" Mr. Yoon yelled. "Okay, okay!!! I'm on it" and Gongchan ran in the kitchen and everybody laughed. Einah went to the table by the window where she can see the road, people and cars passing by the shop especially those flowering plants infront of the shop. There were also tables and chairs outside but it's still a bit too cold to grab a table out there "This is really nice! When was the last time you ate here?" Shin asked as he pulled out one chair and gestured for Einah to sit on it "oh, thank you" Einah was a bit surprised. "I was with my husband... I can't remember when it was exactly but we like to start our weekend mornings here-- and don't you dare say you're sorry for asking cause it's really starting to annoy me! haha!" Shin was surprised to hear that and totally laughed with Einah...
"Now I have a new favorite coffee shop..... Thanks to you Einah! You were right about those pancakes!" He said smiling "Alright, thanks for taking care of our breakfast, Shin... So... off to work I go! Take care now!" Then she pedaled away! Shin stared at Einah until she reached the flower shop, he watched as she tied her bike locked onto a railing and as she entered and closed the door of the flower shop. (Amazing by B1A4)
