Love You Twice

Chapter 14

Chaewon

"How did the talk with Kazuha go?" Jennifer asks once we finally got a break from all of the customers.

Today has been insane. I feel like I haven't even had a moment to breathe, much less sit down to have a bite of something to eat.

The only good parts about days like these is the fact that the day goes by so much faster. 30 more minutes and we will be closing up shop.

Maybe 25 if I sweet talk Nana enough.

"Surprisingly well." I lean my back against the counter that she's leaning her hands on.

Her brown eyes meeting mine quickly, giving me a look to continue.

"I took your advice and I think she's decided she wants to try again with Sakura." Jennifer raises her eyebrows in surprise.

"I'm just really worried about her." Jennifer looks off into the room with now only 2 people.

I can't help myself but to pay attention to the way she nibbles her lip when thinking. The way her blonde hair being up in the ponytail allows for a better look at her somehow perfect side profile.

"What if you talk to Sakura on your own? You guys used to be friends right?"

"Used to. I can hardly look at her after what I seen that night." I shake my head in disgust from the remembrance of the past events.

Jennifer lets out a little laugh before continuing.

"Well, maybe you can toughen up a little and go talk to her yourself." I take slight offense to Jennifer's words.

"Hey! I am tough!" I say standing up straight. Jennifer raises her eyebrow at me, looking me up and down.

I lift up my sleeve and immediately flex my humongous muscles that anyone would be jealous of having.

"Oh yeah?" Jennifer asks, squeezing my muscle.

"Gym bros got nothing on these natural gains. Lifting those bags of coffee beans is no easy task. Takes someone strong, not someone with subpar strength."

I look Jennifer up and down, letting her know exactly who I am referring to.

She scoffs at my words.

"Maybe you're right, Chaewon. Looks like from now on you can lift all the coffee bean bags since my arms are so noodly." Jennifer says, swinging her arms.

Woah! No way in hell! The bags are like 25 pounds.

"Well... actually I have a bad back, so I can't risk it. Anyways, it'll help grow your muscles to be big like mine." I retort and she just rolls her eyes in response.

"Yeah whatever Kim." She says, getting back to work since the last two customers left.

She goes and grabs their dishes off the table. I follow behind her spraying the table and wiping it down.

"I have a deal to offer you girls." Nana comes out from the back. Jennifer and I both give her our attention wanting her to quickly continue.

"We can close right now if you girls will be at my house at 7 tonight." Closing sounds good to me, but why do we need to go to her house?

"For what?" I ask. She smiles at me and claps her hands together.

"I'm wanting to host a bingo party and we need two more people to join." I don't know what I would've guessed nana was going to ask us to do, but it sure as hell would've never been that.

I look over to Jennifer who is giving me an awkward smile, clearly not wanting to do this either.

I raise my eyebrow at her, and she reluctantly nods her head in agreement.
