My Personal Guard (2na)

Escape Time

Aish! Why do I have to welcome the costumers and watch Mina and Dahyun have their date? This is Momo's award for winning in our dance battle. And I can sense her looking at them too from time to time.

"Welcome to Cosplay Cafe." I said after I opened the door for the newcomer costumers while glaring at Mina and Dahyun who's laughing right now

"Miss squirrel, it would be nice if you smile a little." A young boy said while holding my hand. I looked at him and flashed a smile. "There. Much better."

Then he and his family went to the counter to order food.

"Aigoo Sana, you need to be professional  while doing your work. You look cute in that squirrel onesie but you look scary in that face. Do your work properly." Yugyeom said

He stays here and check how well we are doing.

"You should say that to Momo." I pointed at Momo who's pouring water to a costumer's glass

She's watching Mina and Dahyun, who's currently feeding each other. The glass is already full but she just keeps on pouring water.

"Uhm, that water is enough. Thanks." The teenage girl costumer said

Momo then stopped pouring water, still watching Mina and Dahyun.

"The fuck." Yugyeom cursed. "Momo, come here!"

Momo's eyes widened hearing her girlfriend's brother call her name. She gulped and walked to us.

"Focus on your work. Don't think about anything else but work." Yugyeom said calmly

"Sorry." Momo apologized. "I guess giving Mina and Dahyun a date was a bad idea after all."

"It sure is you pabo." I said

"Okay. Stop it. For now Momo, why don't you wipe the water you spilled?"

Momo nodded and immediately obeyed Yugyeom's command. A new set of costumers came so I opened the door.

"Welcome to Cosplay Cafe!" I managed to say brightly

They smiled at me and proceeded to the counter.

"Hey Yugyeom... Have you talked to Dad already?" I asked and the atmosphere became serious all of the sudden

"Uhm... Yes..." He answered and avoided my eye contact

"What did he say?"

"He asked how I was doing-"

"YUGYEOM."

Silence overtook us. My heart beat faster as I became nervous about his respond.

"W- we weren't done talking." He answered. "Don't worry Sana. I won't stop until he say yes."

I gripped at the door handle and sighed. "He doesn't like being asked the same question over and over again. You know that."

"So? We can't let him separate you and Mina... Again."

"Thank you for coming. Please come again." I said to the costumer and opened the door for him. "I know that Yugyeom. I won't let that happen again."

"What's with the serious atmosphere?" I flinched when I heard Mina's voice

I faced her and smiled. "Nothing. Are you leaving already?"

"Yes. It's almost time for my work." She answered

"Be careful then." I opened the door for her and pecked her lips

She giggled and waved goodbye.
