My Barista Boy

Chapter 3 - Helping Taehyung

School has been very busy for me lately and I can hardly take a breather. So many assignments to do, etc. Argh~ Come on~ I need a break~ I was grumbling and mumbling to myself when suddenly I received a call from Taehyungie.

Me: "Hey~ Wassup Taehyungie?

Taehyung: "Sun Hee~ Are you still into photography?"

Me: "Me? Of course I am! I still like to do photography during my free time. So wassup?"

Taehyung: "May you help me to take some photos of my cafe also the food and coffee on the menu. I wanna refresh my cafe's Instagram and Facebook page too. I would like to take a few photos of myself too so that I can post on my cafe's Instagram page as well."

Me: "Ahh~ I see~ Of course! Sure thing! It would be my pleasure to be part of your cafe project. Hehehe~ How about we do it on this coming Wednesday? Since your cafe is always closed on Wednesdays. So I think we could do it on Wednesday. What do you think?"

Taehyung: "Sounds great to me! This coming Wednesday then. I will go and think of a theme that I would like to do on and we could maybe work towards that direction." I could heard Taehyung giggling.

Me: "Sure...why not? Let me help you to think of a few themes as well."

After we have hung up the call and I started brainstorming for some themes that Taehyung may like. I seemed to have some ideas in mind already. Will suggest them to Taehyung on Wednesday and see how it goes.

Very soon, Wednesday is here already and I make my way to Taehyung's cafe. As soon as I swing open the door, Taehyung is already there standing behind the counter smiling at me.

Taehyung: "Morning Sun-Hee! I have made coffee for you." He winked towards my direction.

Me: "Taehyungie~ Did you reach here earlier just to make coffee for me?" I asked curiously while giggling.

Taehyung: "I ask you for help with the photoshoot. Of course I have to do something for you. Making coffee is my specialty so coffee it is. Here you go! Your favourite Hojicha Latte." Taehyung replied while placing the coffee right in front of me.

Me: "Wow! Smells good as usual! Thanks Taehyungie~" I thanked him while nudging his elbow.

Me: "So I have brainstormed a few themes for you but in the end I feel that 'Nature' theme still suits your cafe concept the best!"

The moment I mentioned the word 'Nature', I could Taehyung's eyes glowed.

Taehyung: "OH MY GOD Sun-Hee!! Are we having telepathy or something? You know what? I feel the same too! I was about to tell you I wanted a 'Nature' theme for my cafe photoshoot."

And we both started laughing. I suggested Taehyung to choose some coffee and food items from the menu so that we could focus on these items to portray the theme 'Nature'. We decided to pack these items and bring them to this forest which is not too far away. Once we have reached the forest, we quickly get to work before the weather turns. I set up my camera and Taehyung began to bring out the items. Luckily, I had brought some props and platforms with me for Taehyung to place the items on and this will make the photos turn out better.I showed Taehyung on how he should place the items and he quickly followed my cue. We had probably spent about a few hours inside the forest taking photos before we left. I am praying hard that these photos would turn out well as this cafe is Taehyung's blood, sweat and tears and I wouldn't want these photos and our efforts to go to waste.
