Seeing the woman's fan girl expression, Lisa wanted to laugh. She let out a soft chuckle and nod her head, "Mn. I am."

The woman eyes shot wide open. She felt as if she had just cheated on her husband, because when she saw Lisa smile, she was struck with love.

Even as a woman, she thought Lisa was very pretty. Like, too pretty.

Most women nowadays go through plastic surgery just be pretty, but she knew from one glance that Lisa was a natural beauty.

Was she leaning more on the opposite gender?

Staring into Lisa's bluish green eyes, she ask curiously, "Are you mix with another nationality?"

Feeling no harm from the woman, Lisa held in her laugh and answered truthfully, "My mother is full Chinese, whereas my father is Korean and American mix."

"Ohh.. I see, that explains—-."

"The eyes." Lisa finishes the woman's sentence. "I get it a lot from people. My eye colors the same as my father's."

"Oh... That's so cool!! You rarely see Asians with different eye colors."

Lisa smiles at the woman then takes a sip of her warm coffee.

Remembering something, the woman lightly slaps the counter, "That's right! I asked if you were a fan of FAITH because I'm also a fan of them. A die hard fan too!"

She said happily before her expression change into a sad one, "It's just heartbreaking that such an amazing band decided to disband."

Lisa: "At least you're a real fan. Some people who claim to be real fans of FAITH are very few now, some are even anti-fans. I believe that as a loyal fan, you should respect their decisions and hold on to them still, even if they aren't together anymore. Know the truth before you judge them."

Hearing Lisa's words, the woman smiles again, "You're right. I'm one of their biggest fan! Even though they disband, they'll always be my favorite group. I still listen and play their songs here."

Lisa was happy inside knowing that there was still a fan in this world who remembers and cherishes FAITH.

After chatting with the woman for a while about different topics. She had learned a lot about the woman, from how she dreamed about opening a cafe, to her marriage and finally how she opened her dream cafe.

Lisa glance at the abstract wall clock; '5:12pm'

"It's getting late, I still have some things to do, so I'll take my leave."

The woman was reluctant to let Lisa leave, she enjoyed her conversation with the goddess but she knew it wasn't her place to say anything. They had just met. She nod her head and chuckled, "Okay, sorry for troubling you with all my nonsenses."

"I didn't mind, it was a nice chat."

Before leaving, Lisa placed an order of two dozen coffees and pastries each.

The woman was shocked, ever since she opened this cafe, no one has ever ordered so much.

Excited and thankful, she bows to Lisa before preparing the order.

Once the order was done, the woman added a few more pasteries and desserts because Lisa was nice and she even ordered the most expensive coffees and pasteries in her cafe!

Lisa took out her gold card and swipe it. She signed the receipt and looked at the woman who was still in a daze. She smiled then takes the bag of pasteries and box of coffees.

"Thank you."

Watching Lisa leave, the woman finally comes out of her daze, calls out, "I'm Ahyeon! Please come back and visit!"

Lisa nod with a smile at Ahyeon and leaves the cafe with the help of a man opening the door for her.

Ahyeon let out a long sad sigh.

"Why are you sighing? What's wrong?" A male voice spoke as he close the door.

"Ah, Honey!! It's nothing, I was just with a customer. She was really nice and polite. She even ordered two dozens of coffee and pastries each!"

The man chuckled and pinch Ahyeon's nose, "So silly. Happy over the smallest things."

He walks to the counter and sees a receipt and a note on top one of the cafes envelopes for customers, "Eh? Who is this from?"

Ahyeon: "Oh, that's from the lady customer I just told you about."

Ahyeon's husband reads the note aloud, "Thank you for still being a fan of FAITH. A gratitude gift from me to you. Signed, Kim Lalisa."

He frowned, "Yeon, I thought FAITH was an guys group?"

Ahyeon: "Of course they are! Who said they weren't?!"

The husband looks at Ahyeon then back to the note, "Then how come the woman, Kim Lalisa said 'thank you for still being a fan of FAITH'? She wrote it like she was a member..."

Ahyeon glares at her husband, she scofffs, "That's because only die hard fans like myself knows that FAITH's leader's only long time girlfriend was—-."

Coming to realization, Ahyeon's jaw dropped to the ground. She quickly snatch the note from her husband and screamed.

"Ahhhh!!!!!! Oh! My! god!!!!"

Her husband taps her head, "Why are you so excited?"

Ahyeon stares at the note then to her husband, she gulped before saying, "Do you not understand? That lady customer is Kim Lalisa, as in THEE Kim Lalisa!! Asia's number one ranked model and beauty!!!!"

Husband: "...."

Pushing her excitement away, Ahyeon picks up the envelope and her eyes fell from their sockets when she saw what was inside.

Seeing his wife's expression, the husband walks over to see why his wife looked like she was going to die, and just like Ahyeon, his eyes fell from their sockets too.

They both looked at each other then to the envelope in Ahyeon's hand.

Inside the envelope was a stack of banknotes. It's amount was probably the total of what the couple would make in a year!!!

Just what kind of person gives a huge amount of banknotes as a gratitude gift?

But of course, Ahyeon and her husband had forgotten that the person Ahyeon had just met was Kim Lalisa.
