Lost & Found

Chapter Two

Present Day
22-Years-Old

A couple of days later, Aera dragged a reluctant (read: nervous) Yoongi to the coffee shop. She staked her place outside and shooed Yoongi toward the door.

Yoongi sighed deeply as he opened the door. The cafe wasn't very busy, but he didn't immediately see Sunhee anywhere. He headed toward the counter, and was disappointed to see another girl there taking orders.

There were a couple of people ahead of him in line, so Yoongi had time to contemplate what he should do. Should he just order a drink and go? Or should he be bold and ask if Sunhee was working? He couldn't imagine himself doing the latter, but once he found himself in front of the cashier, he spontaneously blurted out, "Sunhee."

"Excuse me?" the cashier asked.

"Um, is Sunhee working today?"

The cashier smirked, as though this wasn't the first time someone had asked that question. "No, not today," she told Yoongi, and he felt himself deflate slightly.

"Okay, um, can I get an iced Americano, please?"

"Sure!" The cashier then asked his name.

"Yoongi," he told her.

Her eyebrows rose. "Oh, you're Yoongi!"

Yoongi furrowed his brow. "Y-Yeah."

"I've heard about you," the cashier told him as she set about making his drink after Yoongi had paid. Yoongi was very confused, but did not ask her to elaborate.

When she was done making his drink, she handed it to him and Yoongi turned to leave. "Wait!"

Yoongi turned back around. "Yeah?"

"This is for you," the cashier told him as she handed him an envelope.

"What's this?" he asked confusedly.

The cashier grinned mischievously as she shrugged. "All I know is that it's for 'Uh Yoongi'." Her eyes sparkled with amusement as Yoongi's mouth parted slightly.

"T-Thanks," he said, because he didn't know what else to say. Then he quickly left the cafe.

"How'd it go?!" Aera was immediately in his face once he was safely outside.

"She wasn't working."

"Oh," Aera said, sounding disappointed.

"But the cashier gave me this." He held up the envelope.

"What is that?"

Yoongi shrugged. "She said it was for, 'Uh Yoongi'."

Aera eyes widened. "She wrote you a letter?!"

"Who?"

"Sunhee, you idiot! Who else calls you 'Uh Yoongi'?!"

"Oh. Um, I dunno...why would she write me a letter?"

Aera facepalmed. "Let's get home quickly! I can't wait to see what that says!"

-

Aera bounced excitedly on the edge of her seat as Yoongi tore open the envelope. He suddenly felt inexplicably nervous as he unfolded the paper inside.

Uh Yoongi,

If you're reading this, you came into the cafe when I wasn't working. I had planned on just waiting to see if you came in again while I was working, but then I decided I just couldn't take the chance to miss you.
