Paper Birds

Chap.4:You Look Like Someone,I Know!

I really can't stop thinking about the possibility of the man I saw two days ago ,while entering the café,being the other grandson.Also, being already this tired after working for 2 days only.Like what is the point of all of the treatments.If the outcame still makes me feel so weak and vulnerable.Huh did I just was waste my uncle and aunt's time and money all this time?''Jake thought to himself, sitting in a window-side with his art supplies.

Jake stared at the white canvas in front of him.Rubbing the paintless brush on the canvas,not knowing what to draw.When he heard a loud *thump*,he looked where the sound was from and looked back at the empty canvas again(sighing).''Hey!! Hi!(.^~^.).What are you doing,Jake? Why are you here,at this hour, Konon?For no reason!Can't I visit my friend? I don't know!What do you mean you don't know!......".."....... .Okay~~okay!anyways.How is it going in your new workplace? 'Quite exhausting' to tell you the truth.Are there only you and the other two grandsons of the old lady or some for workers too? Konon,...why are you suddenly so interested in my workplace? Nothing in particular, just interest¡.Also, you look cheerier than usual.Maybe I'm just happy today.Can't I be?Huh...,Konon,can come some other times.What,why? I really am not in the mood right now.Okay,I will just leave wit
you, with you drawing about the boy from your past.''Konon stated kind of jokingly.When she got a death glare from Jake.''Ayeee!! Come down,I just wanted to ask you about your workplace.Nothing serious,like come on!No! Why,not? Why should I?You are just being nosy.Also, it is where I work, so you shouldn't interfere.Really?Yeah!Ehmmmm,ah-ha!(.^-^.)(^~^)What?! Ahh... nothing,I should just get going.Bye!~ You are weird.I know!What do you mean you know? I mean, you are not the first one to say that to me, but anyways.I shall keep on going.''After that, Konon went outside of the small flat Jake managed to get for his independent life.

What were you even trying to say, Nishimura Konon!Already about to use the 'I Did You A Favor' card on Jake.Sick bitch.She calmed herself,feeling slightly guilty of what she was about to do.And took a last glance at the entrance door of her friend's house and left to go back to hers.

Ahh,why was I that cold to her? When she was the only one who was genuinely helping me.I really do mess up everything for me.I really,really, shouldn't be that mean to her.She is one who gave me that job after.I should really apologize to her the next time as soon as possible.Jake whispers to himself.Then he looked more precisely at the canvas,upfront which now had a incomplete portrait of an unknown face.''What have my hands drawn now? When my hands started to draw by their own will, they always drew him.But now that I observed this art more ,it nowhere looks like him''.Rather, it was a painting of a figure in his early 20s.When Jake finally got an idea of whose figure it could be,he was shocked himself.''No way!is Is the... the incomplete sketch of the man I saw two days ago,while entering the café,which I assume is the other grandson of the elderly lady of the coffee shop.Why did I drew it? And I can't I get the image out of my mind,I didn't even see him properly!Also there is a chance that the I saw  person is completely different person from the man Mr.Jay was describing,right?''

-------------------------------------------------------------
''So Jongseong,are you really able to manage the café by yourself?''Sunghoon, who was standing (*leaning on the window glass*),holding a white mug, asked his brother, who was sitting on one of the chairs of the dining table.His brother replied by, ''Why are you asking so suddenly?'' .''Ayeee, are you worried about me?'',Jay asked(*raising an eyebrow teasingly*).''No!I mean,yes!Kind of.Oh!!really!it really makes me happy, you know? Ahh, you are intolerable. People always exclaim that I am the one that they have a hard time understanding when the only thing you do is twist your words,when people want to have talk with 'You'!Is it that serious now? I really don't think so.''Sunghoon stood properly,walking towards where his brother was.Sunghoon drags out a chair to sit on,causing a harsh dragging sound,which made Jay,the drop the cup he was holding in the table.''What are you 'Doing'? What!I was just making a space so I can sit comfortably.You can do it quietly, but whatever.''Jay freed his ears as soon as Sunghoon sat on another chair directly facing him.''So should we start?''Jay asked.When suddenly the whole dining room felt in a dead silence.None of the brothers were speaking.Just them trying to avoid eye contacts and glancing at each other.
[{COME ON,JAY you idiot!! You annoyed him for so long to have a conversation with him, but now,as you are facing him and he is waiting for you to speak,you can't let out a single word,great!}]
({YAh!!Park Sunghoon say something,anything at all!Don't stay silent it's not like both of you will reconcile, atleast not now,definitely})
After a few minutes,maybe hours of dead silence.Jay finally got the courage to break it.''Ah,..you know the girl that talked about someone who wanted to work at 'Ma's café right?....".."....
."-",Ah-shall,anyway,shouldn't you also meet him properly,because I think you two have meet him before because he joined the café the day we both got the emergency call for 'Ma's' health and he just get inside of the café when you had just left,also I described how you looked to him and he seemed like he have seen someone with that description.so you most probabl-You are trash at describing people's appearance.So he might have seen someone else and confused it with me.But you should come and meet him,sometime.''Sunghoon suddenly stood up!''What?!''Jay asked *flabbergasted*.''Nothing,just-Oh. You are going back? But still- I will!I have been thinking of seeing him since the moment you mentioned we got a new employee.''Sunghoon state,not letting Jay finish his sentence.''Chill~chill,man.It's good that you are excited to meet our new employee! I'm glad to hear that.But when will you?Tomorrow!Now let me please.In morning?Oh no.Then when? Whenever I got the chance.''After finishing his reply, Sunghoon was completely about to leave,when out of nowhere, he asked Jay, ''How is the new employee?He is decent at most.He is shy and afraid to ask for help but I think it's better to see by your own eyes than judge him after hearing whatever I say about him.You are desperate to take me to café,aren't you? Maybe.And also I wouldn't judge him anyway.So you want to hear about him from me? No,let's just-Yeah, so what are you doing now? Just check on grandma,then do the assignments,have dinner,get a shower and sleep.Oh, and me I'm gonna call to see how did our café go for today's afternoon,have dinner,chat with my university friends and sleep to save energy for today.Good then.Hmm I guess our chit-chat session is over for now.''After that, both of the Park brothers went to do their own things.

Today, the café was lot busier,which made me a lot more nervous and scared that I would mess up, but thankfully, the workers that worked along with me here so kind and nice,especially Jungwon,who helped to talk with other workers,Sunoo who always helps me when I'm not able to make a certain drink that a customer asked for,and Taki
who helps me when I'm too nervous to deliver the drink to assigned customer.All of these things are just making more guilty,rather relaxed in my new workplace.''Huh''.Also, it is almost time for us to go back to our ho..me Taki already went home,and Sunoo and Jungwon are packing their things,so should I!Jake mentally noted.
''Hey champ!Huh?!Don't be startled, it's just.Oh,Mr.Jay''Jake sighed in relief ,placing his hand on his chest.
''Mr.Jay, do you need something? I didn't mean to sound rude,it is your café you can go to wherever you want!Hey~hey,calm down,no need to panic.
I just wanted to talk to you.Oh! Sorry
It's okay'' I'm really a useless stupid,good-for-nothing boy. What will Mr. Jay think about me,now?Jake whispered in his mind? "Hey!did you catch any words I just said? Huh? "Jake asked, tilting his head after being awakened from his thoughts.''Aish,So,my brother was supposed to come to see this afternoon, but because of some unfortunate reasons,he had to delay it.So, can you wait for him a little longer? ''Jake smiled a little,''Of course,Mr. Jay,I can wait.Won't your family be worried you if you return,lately.''(I have no one to wait for at home,but can I really say that to Mr. Jay,Jake asked himself). ''Should I call him again?I probably should!''

Sunghoon received another call from Jay as he was just about to enter the café.
No, ''I won't pick up''. After cutting Jay's call,Sunghoon put his mobile back in his jean's pocket and silently went inside of the café.As he entered, he saw Jungwon and Sunoo packing their stuffs and a large black bagpack in a distant table along with a sketch.And suddenly Jungwon,Sunoo started a cat fight out of nowhere.Sunghoon looked amused for a while,thinking if he should go and stop them but then he decided not to.Because he doesn't have enought energy for Sunoo's clinginess towards him.So he just went to where his brother and new worker were,which he came here for!As he went,where his brother was and the other person where,he was able to get some glimpse of the long awaited new employee.As he was observing the employee from afar,who had tan skin,silky long black hair,he didn't notice  he stepped on something which cause both of his brother and the other boy to look at his direction.His brother shouted,''Sunghoon''.Jay then took the other boy who was beside him,where Sunghoon was.But both that boy and Sunghoon froze from the moment their eyes met each other.The only thing Sunghoon got from his brother was,the boy who he was mesmerized of was Jake,all the other thing didn't reach to him.''Huh...hu... I think it was an exhausting and tiring day  for both of you''.Jay said, smirking,patting both of the boy's shoulders.''Let's go home for now!Sorry,Jake.''Jake, on the other hand, just glanced at Jay and left without a word,still as if he was amused by something. Probably to get his things and leave.''Let's go,Sunghoon,we just need to talk with Heeseung hyung,Fuma hyung, and K hyung,then close the shop and then we will be able to return to our home too!''

Sunghoon was at his room laying on his bed, staring at the white ceiling.
''That boy,I really thought would not be the person I saw 3 days ago while leaving the café that time.''Sunghoon placed his hand on his right chest.''It feels like I have special connections with him.Like I have seen before,even before that day.He scares me somehow.An unknown person with an oddly familiar face.I think he looks like some I know!somehow''Sunghoon said still staring at the ceiling,patting the small white dog who was sleeping in his bed alongside him,like the sleeping animal could hear and understand him.
