"What's your drink? It's on me, don't worry. " Sunghoon asked as soon as they settled to one of the available tables. "Or is it still the same? "

He still remember?

Yeojin slowly nodded. They haven't started talking about that matter yet, but she's already relapsing. The fact that Sunghoon still remember the drink she always choose back in that time when they're still in that situationship, triggers her.

Sunghoon smiled then nodded before marches towards the counter. Yeojin watches his back as he does so.

She still have time. She can rise to her feet and run away from the place. She still has the time to ditch him, but her body glued to chair she's seated.

Sunghoon came back after a couple of minutes and sat across her. "They will call me once our drinks are ready. "

"Ok. "

Silence.

Both of them are aware of the awkward and heavy atmosphere. Funny how things are so different now compared back then, when they're still head over heels to each other.

Funny how the lovely smiles, the soft giggles, the way they looked at one another with pure love, are now replaced with tensions. No smiles, no sparks. No lovely stares, no giggles.

"Let's wait for our order first before I start, if that's okay with you? "

Yeojin simply nodded in which Sunghoon mirrored. He nodded then smiled while scratching his nape, a sign that he is aware of the awkward atmosphere.

Later on, the barista called Sunghoon's name. "For Hoon? "

Sunghoon rises to his feet and took the tray. There are two frappuccino, one being a caramel and the other one is matcha. Aside from the two drinks, there's also a slice of cheesecake.

"I assumed you haven't eaten your breakfast yet...." Sunghoon spoke upon noticing Yeojin looking at the cheesecake.

"I actually did..." She whispered.

"Oh, I see. " An awkward laugh goes past Sunghoon's lips. "Sorry, I'll just eat thi— "

"But! " Yeojin immediately took the plate. "I'll eat it. I'll take it, I'm still starving hehe. "

She's full. She ate a lot before leaving her unit. But seeing the disappointment im his face, she just couldn't help but to lie and take it. Besides, she is not blind to not see how hard he is trying.

"Are you sure? " He asked, she nodded. "Alright then, " he says, letting Yeojin take the plate. He took the caramel frappuccino and placed it in front of her.

"You still like matcha? "

He smiled then nodded. He took a sip before answering, "I told you, it became my favorite after you've introduced this to me. "

"Ahh, ok. I see. " Yeojin didn't know what to say. And that explains her short reply.

Sunghoon bite his lips as he leaned forward. He clasped his hands and rests them on the table. "I'm sorry. "
