He took me home right after, we were grinning at each other the whole way back. I didn't know what that hug was for , I just couldn't forget about what happened.
Our hands had been slightly touching each other, but nobody took the courage to intertwine them.
"Sleep well, Dana . Thank you for tonight." he ruffled my hair for the last time and waved goodbye.
I watched his figure disappear slowly, he was too good to be true. All of it still felt like a dream, things weren't sinking in.
I carefully went back inside in glee, I was smiling from ear to ear the whole time. I slept late that night because my heart couldn't get over all the feels.
------------------------
The smell of coffee being brewed and a sea of customers was the usual, I had been serving for awhile now, I was really glad when I saw people sipping their coffee of the day and had that pleased expression.
"Welcome to Punch Cafe ," I greeted new customers and made them settle down comfortably.
The name of the cafe was really something.Whenever I say it , I was reminded of him and the moment that we shared that night.
His stage name was Punch before so it really rings a bell.
I feared that I've been liking it too much and probably just assumed things. What if all of those was just a friendly gesture? What if he usually acts like that around girls and I had just put a special meaning to it.
I just can't help but to overthink. Everything I said or do reminded me of him.Just anything that I remember relates to him.
It has been days since it happened , the feeling and the memory still seemed so fresh that it lingers in my head all the time.
"Lee Dana?" a voice exclaimed when I got lost in my thoughts.
"O-oppa?" my eyes bulged at the two figures that I saw by the door, it was Samuel oppa and Dae Hwi oppa.
"Do you work here? " I heard a hint of disbelief at my brother's voice, I didn't tell him anything about this after all.
I couldn't help but nod, Samuel oppa looked at me and I bit my lip in bewilderment. Dae Hwi oppa was scanning the cafe seriously, I just can't run now so I decided to guide them to a table.
"We have to talk." my brother exclaimed as they ushered for me to sit.
"I can't, I'm working right now." the coffee stain on my apron was visible, I didn't know why but it made me more uncomfortable.
"Dana, you can talk to them first . I can manage for awhile, you didn't tell me Dae Hwi was your brother and Samuel is also here." Hana unnie approached us, I couldn't believe she recognized them when they were all covered.
"But unnie-" she shushed me and smiled at the both of them.
"You've been covering me a few times before, its okay." she left the table as I awkwardly lowered my head and sat in front of them.
"So tell me why you didn't tell me that you're working." Dae Hwi oppa crossed his arms by his chest and stared at me sternly.
"Okay. Honestly, I wanted to work because I am not even doing anything here. I've been working for part-time jobs in the States too so I am getting used to it now. I didn't tell you because I know that you wouldn't agree." I sighed.
I couldn't help but glimpse at him from time to time while talking with my brother. He was just listening to us and using his phone or looking out the window.
"You work part-time back at home? why?"
It started to rain outside, people were scattering away from the open area and were seeking for shelter.
"Mom and Dad doesn't even talk to each other, they seem like ghosts at home. There is food on the table most of the time but there's no love in it, just pure coldness. I wanted to do something, working was really great because I spent my time earning money than doing nothing." my brother nodded, it was a good thing that he understood me.
We became silent, the rain felt so soothing that we got lost staring outside. Dae Hwi oppa's phone suddenly rung.His shocked expression scared me and a bad feeling came.
He showed me who was calling and I bit my lip in worry.
It was Dad.
Come to think of it, the deal was probably a month already. They must be here to let us decide! I totally forgot about that marriage issue and we haven't even decide yet.
"I thi-think that the one month that they gave us is already due. They did not even tell us they're coming." I stuttered not wanting to face them.
The atmosphere became tensed, I bit my nails in worry of what's coming.His phone was ringing constantly and I could see that he didn't want to answer it.
"Okay , so let's decide now." I looked at Samuel oppa in worry, he was trying to give me signs to relax and breath.
"Samuel, you know what it is , right?" Dae Hwi oppa exclaimed looking at Samuel.
"Yes, I told my Dad about this and it seems like he'll be giving me a chance."
We finally came to our decision, Dae Hwi oppa answered the phone call and told us that our parents were waiting at a hotel in Seoul.
"Let's go?"
"Yes."
We went towards the hotel with nervous hearts, Samuel oppa held my hand for a bit and squeezed it, his gesture made me feel a bit relieved but he suddenly let go.
