Yookyung pushed the door open and greeted Kanghyuk. "Annyeonghaseyo, oppa!" He waved and she went to the back to change. She came back out with her uniform on and her hair tied into a messy pony tail.
The door opened and in walked Mihyun. "Oh Mihyun, what are you doing here? It's a weekend." Mihyun smiled, "Just thought I would come and visit my friend." She waved her friend closer and whispered, "And to visit that hot guy." Yookyung laughed and hit her friend's arm lightly.
She led her to a table and took out her notepad. "So, what can I get you today?" Mihyun stared at the menu, "Mm, a sweet lemon tea and a strawberry shortcake." Yookyung nodded and went to the counter. She leaned on it and yelled at Kanghyuk, "Oppa! One sweet lemon tea and a strawberry shortcake."
Kanghyuk nodded and got the order ready. He slid the tray to her but Yookyung stopped it. "Why don't you give it to my friend over there? I'm gonna take some more orders." Before he could say anything, she walked off. He sighed and walked over to Mihyun. He gently set the tray on the table and smiled, "Here you go. One sweet lemon tea and a strawberry shortcake."
Mihyun looked up and blushed when she saw it was Kanghyuk. "T-Thank you." He smiled and went back to the counter. When Yookyung was walking by, she grabbed her arm and pulled her close. "Did you tell him to give me my order?" Yookyung nodded, "Yeah. You should be grateful for it too." Mihyun squealed and thanked her.
As time flew by, Mihyun left the cafe to go help her mom with something. The door opened and the little bell rang. Yookyung turned around and smiled, "Welcome to Starlight cafe! Table for ho- Dad?"
Her father stood right in front of her, jaw slack. "Yookyung? I thought you said you were going to the library to study." She nervously fidgeted with her hands. Kanghyuk came from behind the counter and put a hand on her shoulder. "Is everything okay?" He asked worriedly.
She meekly smiled, "Kanghyuk oppa, meet my dad."
Yookyung sat down at a table with her dad sitting across from her, arms folded over his chest. She looked around and faked a laugh, "So dad, what brings you here to this cafe?" "I came to get some coffee but I didn't expect to see my own daughter working here. Tell me, why did you hide this from me?"
She looked down, "I thought I should help you out. I just wanted to relieve some of the burden you're carrying." Her dad sighed and leaned his arms on the table. Kanghyuk came over and put two cups of green tea in front of the father and daughter. He held the tray against his waist and bowed, "I hope you enjoy the tea, Mr. Lee."
Mr. Lee nodded, "Thank you." Kanghyuk bowed once more and then walked back to the counter. He looked at Yookyung and grabbed her hand. "Yookyung, you didn't have to hide this from me. You know I always agree with your decisions and if I don't, we always work something out."
She bit her lower lip and nodded, "I'm sorry, appa. I should've told you." He gave her a gentle smile, "It's okay. What else are you hiding?" Her eyes widened, "Umm..." He raised an eyebrow, "Lee Yookyung."
She knew that she only used her full name when he was about to angry. "I'm dating Byunghun." Mr. Lee leaned closer, "What?" She sighed, "I tell you later at home. It's a bit embarrassing to say it out loud right here."
Right at that moment, L.joe walked through the door and smiled when he saw Yookyung. He ran over to her and pecked her cheek, "How's your day?" He asked sweetly with a smile. He noticed how she was frozen in place and furrowed his eyebrows.
He looked at the person who was sitting across from her and gasped. He stood up straight and bowed, "Annyeonghaseyo, Mr. Lee." Yookyung's father stood up and straightened his jacket. "Nice to see you again, Byunghun. So, mind explaining this to me?"
L.joe forced a laugh and Yookyung stood up. She grabbed his hand and cleared her throat, "We're going out." His eyes widened, "What?! When did this happen?!" She held her chin high, "Last week. Problem?" Mr. Lee stood there looking at the couple. "Actually, I don't have a problem at all. I expected this to happen sooner or later."
Her eyes widened, "What? Really?" Her dad nodded, "Yeah. I figured it would happen since you two looked pretty good together. And besides, I'm your father. What do I not know?" Yookyung stood there, staring at her dad before bursting into laughter. He soon joined her and L.joe stood there awkwardly.
