"hi welcome to Bruno's Café, what can i get for you lovely couples?" i asked as i wait for them to order.
this is my daily job. i'm a senior high student that has a part time job according to survive. i am from an orphanage but i am now 18 and is already responsible enough to handle myself. i'm a korean but since childhood days i was already here in New Zealand so i am fluent in English, i barely know anyone in here but i could careless. myself is my first priority.
"awwee thanks for the compliment dear. we would like to have two salted caramel please." a woman who looked like on her 30s said while clinging on her boyfriend or husband i think?
"that would be 30$ (just random numbers)" the guy got his wallet and paid.
"order coming right up. can i get your names please?" i prepared a small notebook.
"oh i'm jessica" she smiled sweetly.
"okay, how about you sir?"
"its jadon" i nodded at him and wrote their names.
"your 2 salted caramel will be coming in less than 5 minutes. please take a sit" i smiled at them as they went away.
"troy, 2 salted caramel please!" i shouted from the counter and passed him the piece of paper on the small window.
"NEXT!" i waited for the next costumer as i prepared to type it on the screen in front of me.
i looked up as the person took long enough to order and-- oh my, are my eyes seeing right? this piece of art infront of me is absolutely handsome!
i think i spaced out a little as i was back to my senses when he waved his hand in front of my face.
"ah yes sir? what can i get you?" he looked at me, tilting his head at the side, looking confused.
"ahm uhh-- aish i should've studied the vocabulary manager-nim gave me." he mumbled loud enough for me to hear him.
"oh so you're a korean?" i asked as he lifted his head up immediately and nodded.
"it's the first time i met a korean here so far. what can i get for you?" i smiled and made sure he won't get awkward of me.
"I would like to have 1 americano and 1 slice of red velvet cake." he smiled back and was about to pull out his wallet but i stopped him.
"my treat. i'll pay for it, don't worry sir." he was about to protest but i cut him off.
"one americano and a slice of red velvet cake, Ainsley!" i shouted again and once again put a piece of paper on the small window behind me.
"can i get your name please?" he stared blankly at me first but eventually answered.
"jinyoung. bae jinyoung." i immediately wrote down his name and nodded.
"your order will be there in less than 10 minutes, sir. please take a sit." my eyes followed him as he took a sit on on one of the tables near the counter so apparently he can see every move i do.
"excuse me?" my eyes immediately averted at the person in front of me.
"ah yes, ma'am? what can i get you?" and with that, i just took orders here and there.
when i made sure there's no costumers next, i decided to chat for awhile with my co-worker.
"hey troy." i turned around towards the small window and leaned my arms on them.
