Fallacy • Jeonghan [1]

Lia

"So hyung, this is your cafe?" My eyes focused on a row of shops located beside a building. The building was big, but I didn't know what it was. This was my first time being around Seoul with my brother.

Seungcheol hyung's cafe was in the middle of a row of shops, a strategic place if you ask me. He was right, the cafe was often crowded because it was in the middle of a bustling place. A city, moreover.

Especially now, lunch hour.

"Dad opened it two months after we moved here," says Seungcheol hyung, pulling into a parking lot.

"So you often help a lot?" Asks Jeonghan.

I rolled my eyes, "Well duh he's the manager."

"I was just asking what's your problem," Jeonghan retorted.

The three of us got out of the car, going after Seungcheol hyung who lead the way towards the cafe. I could smell roasted coffee beans from far away, and the smell was relaxing. I love the smell of coffee. I even bought coffee-scented perfumed once. But that didn't last long though, I didn't really wear it because I was scared of ants coming to get me. Because you know ; ants - sweet things - makes sense. Even if its just a perfume.

The sound of bells tinkled as we entered the cafe door. People's attention turned towards us, to Seungcheol hyung and Jeonghan ; mostly. Well yeah I'll admit they're both really good looking. Lets not forget Hansol.

"Hyung annyeong !" A familiar face greeted us by the counter.

"Soonyoung!" I called, my jaw dropping. He smiled cheekily and waved.

"You know you can just call me Hoshi," he says, turning his attention back towards Seungcheol hyung "so hyung, what do you want to do today?"

"Naah, I just came here to check on you guys. Besides, I wanted to show Lia around. It seems like you guys already met? She did give you the rice cakes yesterday didn't she?" Seungcheol hyung asked, sitting on a chair.

"Yeah we did, and she's nice. And he is...?" Hoshi eyed Jeonghan.

"Yoon Jeonghan. Seungcheol's friend." Jeonghan bowed.

"Ah, okay nice to meet you hyung." Hoshi replied, shaking hands wih Jeonghan.

The cafe was nice, really. It was kinda based on a vintage concept, antique stuff were put up as decorations, and at the corner of the cafe was a huge stack of books and novels displayed for people to read, but no one seemed to. They were kinda busy anyway. The books look really old too.

Those books were probably dad's, because I used to read some of his books when I was young, even if I didn't understand a thing about what those books were saying. I liked to play smart okay?

"Can I look around?" I ask, my gaze still on the pile of books.

"Go ahead. I'm sure you would love those books. There's a small library too, dad built it just in case," Seungcheol hyung scooted forward a little and pointed to a door beside the bookshelf "here's the keys." He handed me the keys and off I went.

"Oh and do you want anything?" Seungcheol hyung called me.

"Maybe...latte will do," I replied, and went.

Honestly, I didn't really know what kind of books dad read when I was young. There was this one book that I really liked, his book, to be honest. I couldn't remember what the title was. That was the only book that I understood, for some reason. Even if the storyline was kinda complicated, I liked the story somehow.
