A vibrant light slapped my face, I groaned fluttering my eyes open to stare at a ceiling, I exhaled. Turning to my side, a clock was revealed, looking at the time, my eyes widened, "whAT ?? HOW IS IT 7:58am ?!!" I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I turned to the clock and made sure that I wasn't hallucinating because I'd just realized that I woke up right before my alarm clock rung.

"WhY nOW??" I grabbed the pillow beside of me, hugged it, and dug my face into it silently screaming. Right then and there, I heard my alarm ring, I turned to look at it with a gloomy mien and turned it off. I whined as I got out of bed, and into the bathroom. I stood upon the mirror and looked at the reflection, I frowned. 

"What a failure," I thought, grabbing my toothbrush, and squeezing a whit of toothpaste on the bristles.  

...

I wiped my mouth dry and walked to my closet, picking out a grey peter pan collared blouse, dark blue skinny jeans, and light grey vans. After dressing I grabbed my necessities and proceeded to the kitchen.

Alas, I arrived in front of a building, with an inhalation I walked inside, the smell of coffee beans and a snug tenderness hit me. Anxiously, I treaded behind the counter and donned my apron. A customer appeared and thus I began to work, instantly consumers arrived one by one. Time decelerated and I became weary, however, I experienced assertiveness. The sky wasn't as bright as it was in the morning, and suddenly it became noon. 

My shift was ending soon, "Just ten more minutes, Y/n." I mused for a second,  I heard another customer walk in and so, I turned. My mouth opened to greet them until it had gone dry and a lumpy feeling in my throat appeared. Upon me stood a  young man, something about him seemed familiar, but why did it hurt so much to view a stranger?

I finally had the courage to speak up, "Hello, sir, what would you like today?" I asked glancing at him, "I'd like a large Caffè mocha, please." the man smiled, my stomach felt peculiar, the smile seemed so recognizable, and yet, I couldn't grasp why.  "That would be ₩4433.20," I said, the man nodded and handed me his credit card, "It's your first day here, correct?" I looked up, "How did you know?" I asked startled.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to spook you," he chuckled, "I come here every day after work," he assured me, "Ah..." I said relieved, "Oh! let me get your mocha." I said, he smiled and nodded.

...

"Here you go! it was nice meeting you." I said avoiding his look, "Thanks, it was great meeting you too, see you tomorrow." he said turning around, he gradually disappeared from my sight,

"Wait..." I said in a raspy voice barely speaking, but,

he was already gone.

"So close, yet, so far."
