(their usual place)

KIM BAE EUN

Jisung reached out for a handshake, and I returned it. He still had the smile plastered on his face.

What a beautiful smile.

"Uhh, hi. I'm Kim Bae Eun and I live here-"I say as I point to my house, "-as you can tell, "

He chuckled, "Yeah. Anyways, are you planning to go to somewhere?"

"Oh, yeah. I'm meeting up with my friend for a breakfast-" Wait.

I lifted my left arm, glanced at the watch, "oH SHIT!"

Accidentally swore,

"oh my gosh it's past 9:30!"

Returned my attention to Jisung, "Sorry, but I have to go, see you soon!"

Spoke to him as I started running to the usual place, not forgetting to wave back to Jisung.

-

I rushed to the usual place, Natur'elle Cafe. When I entered, I was still breathing heavily.

I guess exercising is just not my kind of stuff.

I scanned around, searching for Chaeri.

Then there she is, well-dressed in a mini dress, waving at me with a "haha you're paying today" face.

I sat at the table and greeted her.

"Guess who's paying, " she says after greeting me, "YOU!" and pointed at me.

I glared at her.

"But why are you late tho, you were never late, " she sipped her coffee, "well except for that one time your hamster died, "

Again, I glared at her. My cute lil hamster, I'm still not over him yet, he was such a fluff ball...

"Okay, sorry. " She put her cup of coffee on the table, half-raising both her hands.

"But really tho, why are you late?"

"Uhh, I-"

"Miss, may I take your order? " A waiter came with a menu on his hand, spoke to me as he placed the menu on the table.

I was gonna talk, but got cut off.

Why do I kept on getting cut off today??

"I would like a cup of green tea and a plate of sandwiches, " I ordered, not even bothering to look at the menu, wow, can't believe I even memorized what's on the menu, seems like I've came here way too many times.

"Okay miss, a cup of green tea and a plate of sandwiches, "He repeated my orders, "am I right?"

"Yes."

And then the waiter left.

"So, spill everything out, Bae Eun, " Chaeri smirked, "I would love to know."

-

"Basically, a new neighbour moved in next door today and talked to you when you were closing the gates," She concluded, "and that's why you're late. "

I nodded, and bit my sandwich. Ooh, delicious as always.

"That's actually pretty boring. " Chaeri seems a little disappointed, but immediately thought of something as her eyes lighted up.

"Is your new neighbour a guy?"

"Yeah," Oh no, I sense something coming on.

"Is he handsome?" She looks a little bit too interested.

"Uhh, I perhaps...? " Especially when he smiles.

Wait, what? Oh my god, what is wrong with me?
