The familiar bells ring happily as I push the door open, the fresh air from inside brushing past me. I was so caught up in my own world that I didn't notice someone was walking towards me until we bumped shoulders.

"Sorry." The guy says slightly bowing and I return the gesture, freezing as I stand up.

That voice sounded familiar.

With a frown, I look over my shoulder but the guy is already gone, his voice fresh in my mind.

Shrugging, I head towards my usual spot, a tingly feeling spreading throughout my body as I sit.

The cafe is busier than the usual but the atmosphere is still pleasant, the smell of freshly brewed coffee predominant in the air.

Poor Sehun keeps walking back and forth as he takes the customers orders, his foot almost slipping but I manage to stand up and help steady him.

"Thank you." He says with a small smile.

"Is it just you helping the customers?" I ask and he nods scratching his temple.

"Can I help out?" I say and his eyes widen in surprise.

"Really?" He asks and I nod. "Well, if you don't mind then please, I could use the help." He says giving me an apologetic look.

"You got it Sehun." I say giving him a thumbs up and heading behind the counter to grab one of the brown aprons, securely tying it around my waist.

"Have you ever done this before?" Sehun asks and I shake my head.

"No, but I've seen you do it plenty of times." I say with a smile. "I'll be fine, don't worry about me."

"Okay, okay." He says nodding. "But if you need anything, please let me know."

"Will do. Now go save the day Sehun." I say shuing him with my hands as I walk towards the first table, which happens to be a Korean couple.

My body tenses as I hear them speaking Korean, recalling several instances when customers speak Korean and Sehun responds in Korean to them.

Taking a deep breath, I approach them and bow respectfully as they look up at me. "어서오세요. 주문하시겠어요? (Welcome. Would you like to order?)"

My heart almost stops as the older couple glances at each other before turning back to look at me with a smile.

"네. (Yes)" the older lady says with a smile. "커피 두잔 주세요. (Please give me two cups of coffee)"

"네. 일겠습니다 (Yes, I got it)" I reply writing it on the notebook and rushing to the back to hand it to Sehun's mom.

"와. 잘하네. (Wow. You did well)" Sehun says with a smile ruffling the top of my hair.

"Thanks." I say looking down.

"I didn't know you spoke Korean." Sehun says raising a brow as he places the drinks on the tray.

"I don't." I say rubbing my arm. "I just know a couple of things." Before he can say anything else, his mom hands me the coffee and I take it to the couple that ordered it.
