Half Of My Heart

It Must Stay Hidden

The next morning, Kim was working at the kitchen of the coffee shop that day and Kristen was left in charge by the counter.

"Ma'am?" Kristen called Kim at the back, "Ma'am, someone is looking for you."

"Okay, I'll be there." Kim said and dropped the work that she was doing. She went by the counter and saw Xian waiting for her.

"Hey! What are you doing here?" Kim asked wiping her face because of the flour from making cookies.

"Nothing. Just want to hang out in your shop." Xian said and took a paper towel to wipe the flour that was left from Kim's face. "Do you need any help?"

"You want to bake cookies with me?"

"Sure!" They both went into the kitchen to bake some cookies when Kristen called Kim again.

"Ma'am, you have another visitor."

"Who?"

Kristen shrugged and walked away from them. Xian and Kim looked at each other and tried to see who was it and saw Maja and Erich waiting for her. Xian went back to the kitchen right away when he saw them,

"Go talk to them. I'll be here."

"What? Why? They hate me!" Kim said.

She sighed and went by the counter where Maja and Erich were waiting, "Hi Kim..." Maja said nervously.

"May I help you?" Kim asked.

"We just want to talk to you." Maja said.

"Alone." Erich added.

"Sorry, I'm busy. Plus, I have umm.. a new employee that I'm training."

"Kim, please." Maja said in a soft voice.

She sighed and went back to the kitchen. Xian was already putting the cookies in the oven when he saw Kim.

"I'm gonna go. They wanna talk. Can you be in charge here please?" Kim said to Xian.

"Sure! No problem!" He smiled and she walked away from him.

With the girls.

The girls went to the park because Maja and Erich really want to talk to Kim. Kim who is really pissed because after they did to her they just come over to her and act like nothing happened. The girls went by the bench and Kim stood there in front of them.

"What do you want?" Kim asked angrily.

"We are here to apologize." Erich said.

"Yeah, I know we have been mean to you and said bad things to you, but we were just disappointed that we were there to help you but you keep pushing us away." Maja explained.

She sighed, "But if you were really my true friends, you would understand and won't get mad at me like Enrique and Enchong did!"

"We know and that's why we are here to say that we are really really sorry. Can you forgive us?" Erich said.

"Maybe.. I don't know."

"We won't force you to forgive us right now, but can you think about it?"

Kim nodded and just walked away from them.

Kim got to her coffee shop and saw her shop was so crowded by people and saw people are enjoying. She tried to get in to the crowd and saw Xian singing them a song and the employees are serving snacks and drinks to them. Kim's jaw dropped.

"Ma'am! Sir Xian is making your coffee shop really good and we made a lot today!" Kristen said cheerfully.

Kim smiled brightly in surprise. Xian stopped singing and came by Kim, "What do you think?"
