It's been nearly two weeks since I last saw Moon, so I decided to visit the cafe he owns. My cousin brother, Leo, had gathered some information about the cafe and discovered that Moon visits it every Saturday at noon. So, I asked Leo and Jessica to accompany me. After seeking permission from my mom, I headed to his cafe.
..........
Upon our arrival, we enjoyed coffee and Swiss rolls. After some time, I spotted Moon. I discreetly kicked Leo's leg, signalling him that Moon is finally here. I was there to observe him, not to engage in conversation. Moon, wearing a black cap and an oversized sky-blue hoodie, surprised me by showing up. He walked in with a stern expression, sat near our table, and overheard my cousin's comment "why did you look so shocked have you seen a white ghost just like your name?," Moon looked at us, he slightly smiled at me. However, Moon's demeanor shifted when he noticed Jessica. He approached our table and inquired if I was Jessica's only sister. Confused, I nodded in affirmation. He appeared exasperated, rolled his eyes, and started to walk towards the exit. Bewildered, I realised Jessica might be the cause of this sudden change. I hurriedly grabbed my bag, and Jessica suggested ordering more. I declined and walked quickly. Eventually, I caught up with Moon. Nervously, I asked if we could have a coffee and a brief conversation. After a moment, he agreed but mentioned he had limited time. We sat near the entrance, and I noticed Jessica watching us intently. I asked Moon if Jessica had said anything unusual about me. He replied, "Just your 'real side,' perhaps?" Confused, I questioned what he meant by my "real side," asserting that I only had one side. He mentioned that he felt Jessica was lying and played a voice recording from his phone, which included Jessica's derogatory comments about me. Moon said he had an important meeting so he has to leave now, but he'll send the recording to one of the staff members, he'll let me hear it. Moon then sent, and the voice recording sounded like "you're getting too much, just like my sister, acting all tough in front of boys and in person, she's having a boy every night, acting slutty and because of all that always loosing the right boys, and im not sure if she only having boys... It's also possible she will be having girls too, also she reported a boy that he had try to rape her when her parents found out about what she do every night" I got really pissed off when I got to know it. I asked a staff member to call Moon and request permission for me to make an announcement, unrelated to the cafe but concerning a person. Moon agreed, but only if it concerned Jessica. I cleared my throat and went like "There's a special real life story about a person present here, that person is seated on the table no. 12, Miss. Jessica, when she can't get a boy she likes, she talks bad about the girl who likes him more, because that girl is more likely to get him, let's hear whatever she said" I took the staff's phone, put it's speaker on the mic, and played that audio, after playing that, I said "thankyou, that's all I got, stay away from people like Jessica." I then requested a staff member not to inform Moon about the omitted part. As I stood there, I requested a bottle of water, while the waiter went to bring it, a staff member came in informing, "Mr. Moon is here with his family, his father and 2 cousins". I then later decided to exit the cabin. Moon was seated on the nearby table with his legs crossed. Jessica grabbed my neck and slapped me right there. Moon's cousin stands up, shouting "is this your home? Leave her." Then Moon stood up and cracked his neck bone by tilting his head and walked towards us. Asked the guards to stay away. He stands in front of Jessica and shouts "What are you trying to do? Lying about her, and when she said 2 lines about you, you're creating all this drama! Leave! Right now!!" His voice sends shivers down my spine, his father stood up and asked what was going on, he ignored him and shouted once again "Leave" and Jessica took her coffee and left. The way she slapped me left a red mark on my face, which Moon can see, his tone changed and he asked me "Are you okay". I replied "Yes. I'm, you guys should continue. Sorry for causing all this trouble" I went to the counter to pay and Moon shouted "I'll pay for whatever you had, take it as an apology treat for letting people like Jessica in" I smiled but anyways paid for whatever I ordered and then I left giving him a slight smile.

After leaving the cafe, I visited a new shop nearby the cafe, named "Bespoke Handmade Creations". As I entered that shop I saw a counter with each color beads, charms, chains, papers, stickers, threads and many more in a particular transparent box. There we can customize gift for our loved once. I seated myself on a chair near the bracelet section. And took 2 Kuromi's, and some more charms and threads. After 20 mins I'm done with the bracelet, and walks to the cash counter, I gave the money to shop owner, she asked me if it's a gift I'm getting for my friend? I said "yes, I'm not sure if I'm friend with him yet, but I'll give him this bracelet and ask if I can be one." She chuckled and went to a room behind cash counter. After 2 minutes she came back with my bracelet with a magnet attached to it. I said "oh thankyou so much for your kind action" she said "nevermind, when you're friend with him, visit us again." I smiled and walked out. I went in front of the cafe and waited for him to leave, I already saw his father and cousins leaving but he hadn't left yet. I sat there for about half an hour, when he finally came out of the cafe with a bag in his hand, I waved at him but he didn't notice, so I ran to him, I said "heyyyy, I have been waiting for you since half an hour" he replied "oh... You were? I thought you already had left, I was about to visit your house, umm", I ignored his words and said "I have to ask you something", he said the same words as me at the same time! He said "you go first" after arguing on this topic for 1 minute we decided we will say it at the same time.
🌙 - "can we be friends"
🤍 - "can we be friends"
I gasped and said "Oh my god, why do we keep on doing telepathy" he laughed, and said "yes, we can. We will make the best duo, I think so" I replied "yeah we should be friends." He asked me to take a seat outside of the cafe. He gave me the cookie box, and I asked "what is this for?" He opened the box and said "I have prepared them by myself, I've never baked or cooked anything in my life, not even once" I said "but still you're so perfect at baking". He smiled and nodded, the cookies looked brown with choco chips on some and whipped cream on some. We had a bite from our cookies and surprisingly it was so delicious, I'm also perfect at cooking but I've never had such delicious cookies. After eating them I gave him the bracelet. He wore it, so do I. He then saw the magnet and held my hand, the bracelet's magnet attached, it made my heart beat really fast that I could hear it. I started blushing. He giggles and he received a call and told me he has to go home now. He said bye and walked away. I was still sitting on the same table looking at my hand and imagining his hand on mine.
