i scrambled around the cafe putting things together. i woke up a little late today because i was so tired yesterday and forgot to set the alarm. thankfully, i did arrive on time for work. i look at the mirror fixing my hair,making sure it looks presentable.

"welcome to sunshine cafe!"

i looked up from the cashier, seeing the same boy from yesterday. however, this time he stepped in with six other boys who looked around my age too.

  "good morning," he greeted with a smile.

my eyes quickly scanned all of their faces. they look so familiar.

however, my eyes stopped at one familiar face. i squinted at the boy with a black cap and a pink hoodie. he was looking back at me with the same expression. he looks strangely familiar. i swear i've seen him before.

-

i thought hard trying to remember who that boy is while grabbing the pre-made sandwiches.

did we meet in our past lives or something? why is he so darn familiar?

nah, i'm just being paranoid. this must be because i drank too much coffee this morning.

putting the ice into the cups, realization hit me like a truck. is that who i think it is? glancing at the seated table, my jaw literally dropped.

  "na jaemin?" i whisper-shout. suddenly i got flashbacks of him throwing a ball on my face, making my nose bleed, right in front of my crush.

  that horrendous incident created a whole new nickname for me, nosebleed. a nickname everyone used for me back in middle school. i crumpled my hand in a fist.

  "you little shit!" i glare at his direction to see him laughing obnoxiously with his friends. if looks could kill, he would be lying on the floor right now, lifeless.

  i think i'm an overall nice person and i never really hate people but i only hate one person and that is him. he ruined my whole middle school life and this is maybe the only time i can get back at him.

glancing at the jar of salt and his coffee, an evil idea creeped into my mind. taking this opportunity, i grabbed his cup of coffee and a jar of salt ,throwing in the whole jar and mixing the coffee. a salty recipe for a sweet revenge.

putting their orders on a tray, i walked to the table with a friendly smile. handing their orders i smiled to all of them except jaemin. i sent him the longest, angriest, ugliest glare.

  "do you guys know each other?" jeno awkwardly asked the two of us who was having an intense staring competition.

"yes"

"no" jaemin said, looking away as if he doesnt know me.

all the other boys were all left with confused expressions. i offered a smile and went back to the counter. i smiled mischievously as i sat back on the seat. should i record this? i thought excitedly.

  its about time you get a taste of your own medicine, bitch.

with my hands clutched in anticipation, i watched jaemin as he took a swig of his coffee. he was nodding at something his friend said when his cocky face immediately turned into a panicked one.

omg its happening its happening. with his eyebrows raised and eyes wider than saucers, he sprayed out all of the contents in his mouth.

giggling, i clutched my stomach. ohmygod this is the funniest thing i have ever seen. hold up, hold up i think i need my inhaler.

   "YOU!" he shouted with a red face.

putting on a poker face, i pointed at myself with my fingers, "me?"

dang i should really consider becoming an actress. this right here is an oscar-worthy performance.

his nostrils expanded, and his ears look like they had steam coming out of them.

   taking small steps towards the table, i made an innocent face.

"whats wrong, sir?" i questioned, acting clueless.

his eyebrows shot up as he shouts,"WHAT DID YOU PUT IN MY COFFEE?!"

all his friends looked at him, mouths agape. they have known him for almost half a decade but they have never seen him so furious.

"what do you mean?its just premium black coffee beans from-"

"WHERES YOUR MANAGER?!"

oh boy.
