" It's almost the closing time ", his co-worker announced. The boy ignored it and continued doing his job. He was sitting on the chair, soundless, curiously staring at the bell as if waiting for it to ring.
" Are you waiting for that girl? " The co-worker questioned with a hint of curiosity.
" Naah, why would I hyung? " The boy replied with a straight face making the other one chuckle in response.
Yeonjun POV " Done teasing? " " Neverrr... " He smiled. Kim Taehyung, my co-worker is more like an elder brother to me. The only reason I manage to keep up with this hectic job is due to him. He always makes me feel like home. We both are in-charge for the night duties so usually we are the last ones to leave. Our shifts end at 11. However we stay till 12 and enjoy the coffee and snacks that are left. It's our mini us time which we manage to take off from our schedules. We both sit in the restaurant and chat, sometimes we enjoy watching some movies and other times we just walk, enjoying the night weather with our favorite drinks. Starbucks... we work in Starbucks Daegu.
For the past five months a girl has been coming to the restaurant almost every night and has been ordering the same thing. I never had the pleasure to see her in person as she used to order through the drive thru.
Our drive thru had a system. As you enter through the lane, it has a pillar with the menu and a bell. You may read the menu and press the bell. The bell is connected with our office. As the bell is pressed, a buzzer is heard in our office indicating a customer. The guy sitting inside receives the order and the other guy gives away the order. Due to the pandemic, everything in the restaurant is done with special care.
I am in charge for receiving the orders. I have a glass tinted window in front with a small mesh through which only my eyes can be visible. So it's is merely possible for me to see the customer. Taehyung hyung looks over the giveaway orders.
Y/N. I never get to see her face but her voice oddly attracts me. Her mere presence is enough to make my day. I don't know what she looks like, what does she do, her nature, her behavior nothing. All I know is there's something which makes me eager to wait for her everyday. Even though we haven't met in person, I am always eager to see her pull in. She's usually our last customer. She arrives exactly at 11. I clearly remember the first few days of our interaction.
" Is the restaurant close? " She asked with concern. " Yes ma'am, we have closed. " I answered with a stern voice. " Can I please get my order. Please. It's really important for me. " " Sorry ma'am, but I'm afraid I can't help you " " Please, please, please. Just for once. If you want you can charge me extra " " No ma'am, I cannot help you with that " " Pleaseee... " She begged in a cute voice. I chuckled at her puppy voice. " Okay okay. Tell me what do you want " "Thank you so much. One Brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso please. " " Sure. The order will be delivered in a few minutes. " I pass the order to hyung and get back to my work. This happened for almost five days. It was a routine for me to dismiss her requests and in the end giving up on her puppy voice. I stopped arguing after a week. Gradually it turned into a habit. Her entering the drive thru at eleven and asking for the same drink. Not even once she asked for some other drink. It was the same everyday.
