Café Pit-a-Pat - Season 1 (COMPLETE)

Chapter 12

"WHY?!"

An ear-piercing yelp of distress was the very first thing that welcomed Kimmon when he opened the door of the café. Which caught him off guard and drove away all the sleepiness that clouded his mind the entire morning. Now completely awake, Kimmon focused his bloodshot eyes on the scene in front of him, trying his best to assess what was going on.

"WHY, COPTER?!?!?!" Tee loudly wailed again.

Kimmon realized that, somewhat fortunately for him, the ongoing roars weren't directed at him. Eyeing an upset Tee venting his displeasure to a tired-looking Copter, Kimmon quietly made his way over to Tae, who was currently playing the role of a silent observer.

"What's going on?" Kimmon whispered to Tae.

Tae sighed. "Tee's upset that Copter didn't call him yesterday."

Kimmon scrunched up his face. "That's it?"

"Well, it's more than that," Tae clarified. "He's upset that Copter's living with Godt."

Kimmon paled at that, his heart sinking to the pit of his stomach. He had stayed up the past night, finding it literally impossible to fall asleep. Because his agitated mind kept trying to identify the owner of the voice that he heard during his phone conversation with Copter yesterday. And, right then and there, his suspicions from last night were all confirmed.

His darkened eyes immediately turned to Godt, who was currently occupied with his morning routine in the kitchen. Although he seemed quite untroubled by the ongoing commotion, Godt kept glancing once in a while at Tee and Copter, with an amused smile capturing his lips.

Looking worn out, Copter tried his best to calm a fuming Tee down. "It's not a big deal ,P'. I just needed a place to stay last night, and P'Godt kindly let me stay at his."

"Of course it's a big deal!" Tee rejected in an instant. "Why didn't you call me?! You could have stayed at my place!!!"

"But you're living with P'Tae," Copter pointed out. "And I didn't want to cause any burdens."

"It's not a burden!" Tee shouted back. "And P'Tae wouldn't have minded. If he did, I could have just kicked him out."

Tae lifted his eyebrows at Tee's last comment, but didn't say anything out loud. On behalf of Tee (who didn't seem at all concerned with what he just declared), Copter shot Tae an apologetic look before laying his exhausted eyes on Kimmon. Steadily recovering from his numb senses, Kimmon registered the SOS sign that was desperately flashing in the junior's dark brown eyes.

"Come on, let's get back to work," Kimmon eventually said to everyone, saving Copter from Tee's continuous yapping. "We're opening in ten minutes."

"Are you still angry?" Copter guessed.
