Love Address Cafe

Part 1

In the first part, let me introduce myself. My name is "Layali," which is a pseudonym I really love. Now, let’s dive into the story and immerse ourselves in the fantasy. I’m so excited to see if anyone likes what I write.

Nari woke up late as usual to the sound of her mother's voice booming through the house like an earthquake. She furrowed her brow in worry as her mother flung open the door, shouting:

“What are you doing, Nari? How many times have I told you to wake up early and make sure Day Hyun catches the school bus?”

Nari, pulling the covers off her body and yawning between her words:

“Mom, did you forget? Day Hyun has both parents, and I’m just his sister. It’s none of my business. I hate that mischievous brat!”

Her mother frowned deeply, saying:

“Nari, don’t push me to the edge. You’re not just causing trouble for yourself, you know. You should help me. When I was your age, I…”

Her mother continued with her usual lecture while Nari, who never missed a chance to smile, even at the air itself, simply nodded. Nari got up to shower once her mother finished scolding her.

She left with her younger brother, Day Hyun, to take him to the bus. They bickered the entire way.

Day Hyun, sticking his tongue out: “Go away, you servant!”

Once Day Hyun finished his insults, he ran toward the bus and climbed aboard, while Nari chased after him in anger. A man stood in front of the bus entrance, saying:

“This bus is for children only, miss. You can find another bus.”

Nari to the man: “What’s it to you?”

The man, smiling shyly: “I’m in charge of looking after the students, making sure they get on the bus safely.”

Nari, rolling her eyes: “Why don’t you just come pick up my brother from home?”

The man, scratching the back of his head: “Actually, you’d have to pay more for that, but never mind. Tomorrow, I’ll do it for free… for you.”

Nari turned away from the man and glanced up at the bus window, where her brother, Day Hyun, was pressing his face against the glass, making funny faces at her.

She clenched her fist in anger, shouting: “You little brat!”

The man looked at her with disdain but then laughed when he saw where her gaze was directed. Day Hyun was sticking his tongue out, raising his eyebrows, and shaking his head from side to side.

Nari turned and walked toward her high school, thinking: "Now, I’ll go see the class representative and charm him with my beautiful eyes, asking him to help me pass the test. All he’ll do is assist me with the answers, and no one will notice, and with my eyes, he can’t refuse my request."

Nari arrived at school and walked through the large courtyards, just like everyone else. She felt two hands on her shoulders. She turned around, smiling, and saw her close friend, Jini, who shouted:

“You’re late today! For the first time, I thought I would see you in class. I told my mom you’d feel accomplished today!”

Nari, laughing: “Hahaha, I probably won’t. Did you forget when we stayed up late last night after finding that job?”

Jini, with a dreamy sigh: “Ah, I’m so happy! We’ll work together at the Café of Love!”

A guy, his hands in his pockets, walking quietly behind them, with his eyes shining brightly, spoke up:
