Chapter 30

"So, everything's fine now?" Seojun asked me again.

"Yes," I smiled widely, wiping the counter clean, "I'm really glad."

He returned the smile, taking his cup of coffee from Jinyoung. "I need to have my check up now, I'll see you another time!" Seojun said, then left the cafe.

I turned to Jinyoung and simply smiled at her, wanting to continue my work before she spoke, "Did you win the lottery? Yesterday you were looking tired, but you're all chirpy today."

I giggled, "I'm just in a good mood."

"Why? Because you got back with your husband?" Jinyoung asked, wearing a smug on her face.

"Well, you can say that," I smiled shyly, grabbing the mop and started mopping the floor.

She chuckled, then continued with her work as well.

We both kept silent as we did our own tasks. People came and went, it was just a normal day at work, except that I wasn't feeling tired at all. Probably I was just feeling gleeful for my own good. When it was 5 in the afternoon, the wave of customers subsided and I decided to take a break in the corner of the cafe.

"Here's for you," Jinyoung passed a cup of Iced Americano to me. She sat down opposite me, then took a sip of her coffee before she looked back up at me once again, "Can I ask you something?"

"What is it?"

"Will you still work here after six months?" Jinyoung asked me, and I gulped.

"I don't know..." I absentmindedly stirred my cup off coffee with the straw, "Actually, I came to work here only because of some reasons between me and my spouse."

"Ahh..." She pursed her lips, knowing that I'll leave eventually, "Then, what about your marriage? You're really getting a divorce after six months?"

I don't even know myself.

I bit my lower lip, unsure of how to answer her, "I don't mind staying with him, w-well because he kinda confessed--"

Her eyes widened and she smiled, "Really? Good for you!"

I shyly combed my fringe to the back of my ear, "Thanks alot, Jinyoung unnie. You've always been supporting me and giving me advices. You're like a sister to me now."

"Nothing much. Let's go get ready to pack up the place, our shift's almost over," Jinyoung stood up, starting to clear up the cafe and I followed after her.

I skipped joyfully into the apartment, taking a glance at the clock that was on the wall. It was almost 7 which meant that Taehyung would be home soon.

I cleaned the house a little before getting a quick shower, then I waited anxiously for Taehyung in the living room while watching the television.

Just then my phone beeped, and I quickly reached for it from the coffee table and checked who sent me a text message. My heart slightly dropped in disappointment when I read it.

"Hyejin ah, I'm having dinner tonight over at my parents' place, so I'll be home late today." --Taehyung

I furrowed my eyebrows. Why'd they invite Taehyung over, without me? I sighed, typing my message to reply to him.

"Well alright, be home straight when you're done." --Hyejin

"Why? Will you miss me?" --Taehyung

I rolled my eyes humorously, smiling so hard whilst texting him.

"Of course I won't, I like it better when you're away." --Hyejin
