Café Pit-a-Pat - Season 1 (COMPLETE)

Chapter 20

As a general matter, Bas believed that he was a fabulous addition to Café Pit-a-Pat. Sure, he accidentally smashed a few plates and cups here and there, which earned him several disapproving glares and scoldings from Kimmon. But, despite all those losses, Kimmon couldn't really fire Bas. Because, in line with Bas's predictions, he totally made up for his mistakes by bringing in massive numbers of customers into the shop with his unrivaled beauty.

Also, fortunately for him, Bas actually enjoyed working at the café. Making all the customers swoon with his natural charm was entertaining and definitely boosted his morale. And, although Kimmon could sometimes be a little annoying with all his nagging, from the very beginning of his existence, Bas had secretly ranked Kimmon as his all-time favorite cousin. So, of course, even if he wouldn't admit it out loud, Bas loved spending more time with Kimmon.

Plus, Tae and Tee proved to be the most awesome people that he ever met in his life. Not only were they caring and affectionate, but they also were incredibly funny, never failing to give Bas a good laugh now and then. Godt was a minor exception to Bas's overall pleasure with his new job. But, given that they both didn't make any effort to get closer to each other, they didn't engage in much interaction that might have caused nasty fights.

Really, the problem wasn't Godt. But it was, ironically, someone else. Someone who was unknowingly hurling a lot of distress into Bas's life right now.

"Copter! Bas! Can you guys start putting these in the storage room?" Tee asked while he continued to cross-check the inventory that just got delivered to the shop.

Coming over to Tee in an instant, Copter grabbed a couple of the sacks that contained coffee beans. After patiently waiting for Bas to do the same, he then led the way to the storage room that was located in the back of the café. Bas bit his lips as he silently followed Copter. The person who was Bas's most troubling issue as of late.

Admittedly, Bas might have had a few faulty traits to his otherwise perfect self. But he could proudly declare with confidence that disloyalty was definitely not one of them. So, even if Copter was indeed the cutest person that he ever encountered in his life, he wouldn't dare to make any further advances on him. Because Copter was Kimmon's boyfriend, which meant that he was completely off bounds.

It still made him feel sore, though, as if he had been unfairly benched for a game that he didn't even know had taken place. And, given what he had planned to do ever since he heard about Kimmon's boyfriend, anxiety tightly gripped his heart. But he knew that he couldn't keep pushing it off. Especially not now, when the two of them were left to themselves in the storage room and therefore provided Bas the perfect opportunity to execute his plan.

Making up his mind, Bas put on his best serious face. "P'Copter."

Copter, who was in the middle of placing the sacks on the shelves, turned around and faced Bas. Upon meeting Copter's innocent eyes, Bas hesitated for a moment. But, forcing himself to come back to his senses, he marched forward.

"Are you dating P'Kim?"

"What?"
