A guy wearing a black hoodie, sprinted towards the empty counter which then was welcomed by Jhope. He seemed weary and nervous by something.

Is there anything that distracts him?

I have been strangely seeing him as I recognize his h&m hoodie as his trademark, sipping his iced caramel macchiato and devouring his cinnamon sugar churro waffles at the front corner table.

Everyday, every morning,
all on his own.

Since he always came here, we had already consider him as one of the living thing in the restaurant as JHope and I continue on our previous conversation.

Our little gossip about the opening of the new shop on our street, adjacent to ours, ended when my brother called for him from the other room.

"Jhope, come here for a sec. Help me a bit."

"No."

"Want me to cut half of your bonus or do you rather your body to be cut-"

"Okay okay I was just joking man. No to both."

I was preoccupied to the book I borrowed from the school's library.

I sensed that someone was watching me from afar.

As if there's a magnet, I turned my face to where the direction was. But no one was there except that guy earlier.

Was it the guy? Naahh why would he look at me anyways. Strange.

I shrugged it off and turned my gaze back to my book.

Not long after, I took a glance at my watch, showing 9:30 am, the usual time where morning people starting to arrive.

As expected, the door opened numerous times with a bunch of workers with suits and adults, not much from teenagers, waiting in a line for them to take their orders.

Suga went to the counter immediately to help the busy orders.

Jhope was the only employee he had since he couldn't afford giving the previous workers their salaries until all of them decided to quit their job.

Except Jhope.

Jhope would also be quitting but not when Suga begged him himself.

That was the only time Suga sacrificed on his 'swagness' which surprised him.

Jhope made a second thought that changed his decision of setting off from the job, which was staying, and apologized afterwards.

That was the moment where they turned into inseparable buddies.

Truly, a true friend is a friend who helps the other friend in need.

The time went fast as the hanging clock on the wall showed that it was about to reach afternoon.

The surrounding was lively and joyful before but then I heard many whispers and mostly apologies coming from Suga.

My eyes observed the fitment counter on the front, ah it was just another quarrel from the customer showing their mere disagreement.

The arguments became seriously louder as everyone in the cafe felt really uncomfortable from the sudden clamorous ambience.

What a bad timing! I haven't even done reading four chapters of this book..

"Where is my coffee? It should be done this instant!"

"Sorry mister, you have to wait for your turn."

"The worst service I've ever encounter."

I need to stop this. I slipped a dry small spoon inside my book so that I know where I stopped and closed it.

The customer who was arguing with them was quite an aged man we call them as ahjussi.

He had this arrogant and rich-manager aura from his back. I didn't really see his face since he talked to my brother and my current position was facing his back.

Suga kept sending me glares with a hint of worry shown on his face.

As if I don't see his face, I stood up from my chair, waited for my brother to acknowledge my presence so that I could proceed and make my own comeback.

He stared at me dissapointedly.

What?

What is that suppose to mean?

I hesitated and slowly taking on my few steps towards the counter, where the arguments still happening, totally awared by the seriousness that had been built between them.

"That's it, this shop should be close for today, tomorrow and forever!"

No.

I can't just stand here like a mannequin!
