Yeri's POV
The coffee shop is a small building with jet black walls and tables, the seats are white and the front counter is made from black marble. Even though the place doesn't have any decorations aside from a few plants here and there, the place has a regal, luxurious vibe to it. I head over to the counter and look around to see where the worker went. I stretch my neck to see what's behind the counter.
"Oh my god!!"
A guy of lean stature exits the back rooms and screams as we lock eyes. He has a hand over his heart and looks like he just saw a ghost. His light pink hair messy, yet neat at the same time.
"Sorry, I didn't expect anyone to come at this time."
He says once he pulls himself together.
I smile and reply with,
"Hi. Why? Were you about to close? If so, it's fine, I'll leave."
"Oh no, it's fine! Just give me a minute."
I nod and he rushes to the back room once again. From there I can hear shouting, it's the man who I just spoke to. He's saying,
"Mingi! I thought I told you to close the café for today! You forgot once again and now there's a customer!"
"Calm down! Just tell them that we're closed!"
Another guy with a deep voice mutters,
"No, it's too late for that, she'll just be the last customer."
He comes out from the back room, sighs, and says,
"Much better. Anyway, what would you like?"
I chuckle and say,
"An iced Americano, please."
He hums in response and starts to make the drink for me. While he does that I start to stare at him.
"I know I am handsome, but there's no need to stare like that. It feels like you're burning a hole through me,"
He says laughing.
I catch him off guard by suddenly saying,
"Have we met before?"
"Wow- that was random, um, I don't think we have met before."
He gives me a tight-lipped smile as he passes me my drink. I smile back, pay, and sit down at a table. I scroll through my phone as I sip my drink.
Once I finish, I get up while saying,
"Alright, Yeo- Sorry. You reminded me of someone."
He tenses up and reaches for something underneath the counter.
"How do you know him?"
"Doesn't matter, he might be dead and if not, he's long gone."
"Just answer the damn question."
"Why does it even matter? Unless your name is Yeobin."
His face drops and is full of guilt and surprise.
"Oh. Is that who I remind you of?"
"Yeah,"
"Oh, um"
He scratches the back of his head feigning confusion.
"Well, sorry about that."
Right then, I heard a sound coming from the stairs located behind the counter. The boy starts screaming,
