I woke up, the sun shines straight into my eyes and it's very bright, brighter than my future.
Getting ready, eating some plain bread, locking the door, and I'm off to the cafe.
Like usual, having a serious face is a habit. I don't care if I look arrogant, that's me.
I opened the door and walked straight to the counter. Working at the counter while cleaning tables wasn't that bad.
Today, I talked to a stranger who really caught my eyes. The eye smile was the most awesome part.
" You're new huh? I never saw you before. I'm Jeno. Lee Jeno. You're very attractive. "
That shook me up.
" Nae, I'm Jae. Thank you "
I answered as I looked down.
Replying short was also another habit of mine. Arrogant comes with short replies, all in one pack.
He seemed to be confused, but he just ordered what he wants. Today is the only day I'm going to meet him. I will be working a night shift, and he wouldn't come here at night, right?
I gave his orders and flashed a smile. A fake smile. Do you expect that I'll give a sincere smile? In your dreams.
I bowed at him slightly, and he said something that shook me.
" You know what? You should smile often. Don't make your face ugly with the frowns. You're pretty if you smile. Just give a sincere smile and you will see the rainbows in the sky. It would be great if we meet again! See you, Jae. "
Lee Jeno. You made me flutter.
I shouldn't. I shouldn't flutter just because of a stranger. I looked at the receipt that he accidentally left on the counter.
' Text me when you're free! 01X XXX XXXX '
I accidentally smiled, but this time it's a sincere smile.
I'm glad no one saw me smiling. I don't want to show my happy side.
It's been 10 years since I gave out a sincere smile.
Thank you Lee Jeno the stranger.
