HAZEL'S POV
I was sitting in a very comfortable position. My boss had been kind enough to give me a chair on the counter. I sat their with one of my leg above the table.
It was 11:15 PM, and I knew no one is going to come this late at night. I was preparing to close down when one man barged in.
"Good evening sir, how can I-" Before I could complete my sentence he gave me a small bow and headed straight to food section, as if he knew what he needed.
Not even 10 minutes later, he placed few things on the counter. I started scanning them while he fished out some money which totalled to 3000 won.
"Keep the change" he said with confidence
"But sir you are 100 won short." I replied.
"Can you please let it slide? I forgot my wallet. Its 100 won anyway." He said.
He looked as if he was in rush.
"Look sir, I might sound rude, but you have to pay. Or you can just leave out one item. Let's not create a ruckus." I softly replied.
He removed his cap, ruffled his hair in frustration, contemplated for a while, kept out one item, and ran away.
I rolled my eyes and didn't bother to ask him whether he needed the slip. He was clearly in rush.
The Next Day
"Hazel!! College starts next week." Amber said, shouting on top of her lungs.
"I know" I sighed while cooking some breakfast for us.
I knew Amber since high school. When I found out that she is already attending the college I applied too, she very gladly invited me to share the apartment with her.
"Shit. Amber we need to go shopping! I don't even have a single day to wear on first day of college." I shouted back
We quickly finished our breakfast, did some light makeup, grabbed our bags and rushed out.
"Hmm, this one seems good enough." Amber answered.
"Amber this is the 15th dress you are is 'good enough'. Choose one for god's sake." I replied while pointing to the pile of clothes.
"But this one for real rocks. I finally choose this one. No need to try other ones." We picked a few more dresses and came out of the dressing room.
As expected of my clumsiness, I banged into someone right at the moment I looked around for a bit. "Fuck" I cursed to myself. "I am so so sorry." I apologised.
While the person was polite enough to help me sort my mess, I looked up for a moment. The eye contact was not very long, but long enough for my to identify who it was.
"Oh it's you, the counter girl." And now the voice just pointed to one person. Damn, its him.
"Good to see you I guess." He said, with a tone of mocking. I walked away fast. I mean, I really didn't want a stranger to see my flushed face.
"We need to rush out. I am late for my part time." I whispered to Amber who was already at the cashier counter.
I rushed to the cafe and took my usual place at the counter. I guess counter was becoming my place to relax and it just points to my unstable mental condition. I had some time for myself for a while. Only for a while.
Just to ruin my moment of happiness, I saw a familiar figure walking towards the counter. Shit .
"You are seriously everywhere. Are you sure you are not stalking me?" I rolled my eyes, and as much as I wanted to run away, I fought myself to remain calm.
"What can I get for you?" I managed to squeeze out this sentence from my flustered mouth.
"Um, get me three iced americanos, two frappè and you." He completed his sentence with a wink. I choked on air while entering the order
"Look sir I-" I didn't complete my sentence thanks to my flustered mouth.
"Kim Mingyu, or Mingyu for you. And here's my number" He handed me a chit.
"I didn't ask?" I replied.
"You will need it for the details." He shrugged.
I looked away in embarrassment and quickly proceeded his order. "That would be 50,000 won sir."
He then proceeded to take out his wallet, which was probably the most flashy Prada wallet. Then he took out his card, which surprisingly is a black card.
"I am not poor you see." he explained. I gave a forced smile and proceeded his payment.
"Just give us 5 minutes sir." I smiled.
"Mingyu" He replied. God when I catch you Mingyu.
