PS. In this story, Coffee Shop is not the main theme, that's why the title said so. Coffee shop is just the background place. I was about to put Ramen Shop as the background place, but decided not to and chose Coffee Shop instead because some aspects are referring to coffee accurately.

PSs. I portrayed Sasuke here as suicidal when he was teenager, and might as well in adulthood. Sasuke is very sensitive with his heart and he at times would take drastic measures with his actions, that's why the genre said it's Angst and Drama. Some people might think it's not love and might also disagree, it's okay. Not everyone loves coffee, right? Just like Sasuke ;)

It was a calming Monday evening in a seaside town, a routine for Sasuke Uchiha to drive off from his office in central Tokyo to the coffee shop located in the outskirt of the city, Yokohama. It took him two-hour drive to reach his destination. Every day, he would be in the Konoha, the name of the coffee shop, at the exact time at five, sitting on his favorite spot. As usual, he would order a cup of black coffee, bitter and crude, just like his life.

Sasuke hated coffee. Some people wouldn't even think of driving two-hour drive to be somewhere doing something they hated when they could be in home, resting. But not for Sasuke and his odd ritual. Even if he had to drink coffee, there were nearer coffee shops from where he lived, but he chose the one in Yokohama.

He remembered the first time he came to this place. It was maybe around twelve years ago if he were to remember. At that time, he was fifteen. It was a few months after he graduated from junior high school and it was a day before exam entrance in Tokyo senior high school where he applied to. He went to the coffee shop with his brother, Itachi.

"I'm done." Sasuke said as he finished his dinner.

Fugaku, Mikoto, and Itachi looked up from their plate when Sasuke stood up and ready to leave the dining table. Fugaku waited for Sasuke to disappear before he eyed his eldest son.

"I noticed the dark circles around his eyes. Is he forcing himself too much?" Fugaku asked in concern after he was sure that Sasuke was out of hearing range. Mikoto nodded and looked at Itachi, waiting for an answer.
