Chaerin groaned, waking up to the morning light streaming in through her window. To her left her alarm blared on her cell phone.
She reached out a perfectly manicured hand and silenced the device.
Her body felt dead and she was exhausted. It felt like she had hardly slept last night. Which was true. All through the night she kept waking up from dreams about Jiyong. All because of the fact of how good his body felt against hers. How was she suppose to face him today?
She sighed and moved out the bed. She needed to get ready to head to the Children's Center.
She took a nice, warm shower to wake herself up. She then got ready, dressing in something stylish, yet comfy to work with children.
She decided she would grab a quick breakfast at the small cafe around the corner from the Children's Center.
Heading towards the cafe, she noticed the man that was haunting her dreams last night. He too was headed to the same cafe as she was. He looked up, smiling as he made eye contact.
"Hey Chae."
"Jiyong-ssi." She nodded as he fell into a walk beside her.
"Grabbing breakfast?" He asked.
Chaerin nodded. "You?"
"Same." He smiled at her and held the door open to the cafe.
Chaerin lightly blushed and innerly kicked herself for acting that way around him.
She walked on into the cafe and headed to the counter to place her order. Jiyong followed behind her.
"One Americano and a Croissant to go with it, please." She smiled at the barista.
"Make that an order of two. I'm paying." Jiyong spoke up.
Chaerin looked at him in shock. "Wha... you don't have to do that." She said.
Jiyong smiled. "I know, but I want to."
The two stand in awkward silence as their order is being taken care of it. Chaerin finds she doesn't have it in her heart to argue with it. I mean what's one paid breakfast, right?
The barista comes back with two Americanos and a bag with the two Croissants inside. He rings up the order to an amount of twelve fifty.
Jiyong hands him the money and takes the change that he receives back. Before Chaerin can even react he is grabbing the bag, along with the drinks and is walking off.
He smiles back at her over his shoulder. "Come on."
Chaerin walks next to Jiyong, her drink now in her hand. In her other hand is her half-eaten Croissant. The two are sitting on a bench right outside the Children's Center.
They have a few minutes to kill, so they eat, sitting in a comfortable silence.
Jiyong finishes before her, throwing his trash away in a bin nearby. He comes back and takes his seat. Out of the corner of her eye, she can see him watching her, a smile on his face.
She frowned. "Is there something on my face?"
Jiyong shook his head. "No, it's not that. It's just you've changed so much." The last part came out as a whisper.
