It was a bright and beautiful day, and Gumi found herself in her favorite bistro, ready for another day of work. The sun streamed through the large windows and bathed the room in warm, inviting light. The tables were already occupied by guests who appreciated the bistro for its cozy atmosphere and delicious creations.

Gumi was wearing her bistro uniform, a chic apron dress that she always presented with a smile on her lips. She loved the atmosphere in this place, the cheerful faces of the guests and the smell of freshly brewed coffee in the air. The bistro was a meeting place where people came together to spend time with each other and enjoy delicious food. With a tray in her hand and a pen behind her ear, Gumi moved between the tables. She took orders, served delicious cakes and coffee and had lively conversations with the guests. Today, everyone could see that she was in a great mood.

A young man suddenly entered the bistro in the midst of the cheerful hustle and bustle. His hair was dyed a striking shade of salmon and he was wearing a black mask over his mouth and nose and a white cap. His appearance was striking, but in a mysterious way. The guests looked up curiously as he chose a free seat at the bar.

Gumi, who was about to take an order, raised her head and looked in his direction. She recognized the hair color and the cap immediately. Her heart began to beat faster and her mouth opened in surprise. Her joy at this unexpected visit was hard to miss.

She smiled at the girls who had told Gumi their orders and hurried to the counter where Taehyun was looking at the drinks table. "Hello, sir," she giggled and stood behind the counter. The dark eyes that scrutinized him showed a radiance that warmed her heart. "What can I get you?"

"A caramel macchiato and a strawberry cookie, please," Taehyun ordered immediately.

The one that Gumi had recommended on their first indirect date.

And that made her smile.

She couldn't keep the corners of her mouth still and turned to the coffee machine with rosy cheeks. "Coming right up!" she warbled and knew where the good mood was coming from. Gumi was overjoyed with how her life was going at the moment. She was dating an incredibly talented and loving person. Her mother allowed her to study and she got on fabulously with her sisters.

At the moment, she couldn't be feeling better.

When the coffee had filled the cup, she turned back to Taehyun. She grabbed the caramel tube and squeezed the contents onto the surface of the foam. She dropped a few sprinkles on top and placed the caramel macchiato on the counter. Then she took a small plate and presented the strawberry cookie. "Anything else?"

She was hoping for a date.

Or just to see Taehyun's face. After all, that mask hid him really well.

"Thanks," the singer replied with an unseen smile because he was wearing the mask over his mouth and nose, but you could hear it in Taehyun's voice. "Maybe a little trip and then to the studio?" was the suggestion.
