Lost and Found || JINHWI

14

Jinyoung walked through the cafe door and met Minhyun who was preparing the cafe for the day. Minhyun saw Jinyoung walked in then went to greet him.

"Good morning, you decided today to be the start?"

"Morning to you too, yes. I've decided it to be today."

"Alright, come on back here before I hand over your apron. I gotta teach you some stuff before Jjaeni or Cloud come in."

"Cloud?"

"Ha Sungwoon, he and Jjaeni tend to alternate days on who to come. You'll meet him later, come now."

And so Jinyoung followed heading behind the counter to where Minhyun is at. Minhyun then showed everything to Jinyoung that he would need to know about. After few minutes of going through tips and tricks, Minhyun was able to explain it quickly and smoothly as Jinyoung managed to learn it easily.

"You pick it up quite faster than Jjaeni and Cloud not going to lie."

He complimented as Jinyoung only smile shyly looking down while scratching his neck. Minhyun chuckled at the Jinyoung's reaction to his compliment.

"I take that you never get compliments that often?"

"Yeah, living with a strict parents is a big difference, you know?"

"Yeah, I totally get it."

As the conversation drifted off, the door opened revealing the first customer and Sungwoon behind him.

"Sorry, I'm late Minhyun hyung."

"Yeah yeah, tell me the reason later and get ready. Letting this new worker do better job than you would be terrible. For you in that case."

Minhyun said as Sungwoon suddenly eyed Jinyoung before climbing over the counter smoothly standing in front of Jinyoung. He raised his hand to see his height and moved it to where Jinyoung's nose is.

"Damn it! Why do you keep hiring people that's taller than me?!"

"Get taller then. I need to finish up some work in the office and look at Jinyoung already working while you slacking."

Minhyun pointed to Jinyoung's back as he was taking the order of the customer that walked in before Sungwoon. He looked to see that and grew frustrated before giving in and set up the second register.

Daehwi sat around the house trying to find something to do while Jinyoung was gone. Daehwi played on the stairs, doing many different ways of going down and/or up. Though he grew new bruises on his knees, he didn't worry about as he wandered some more.

"Ah, it's so boring."

He complains as he walked to the kitchen feeling hungry. He opened up the fridge to see nothing but leftovers and some carrots. He took out the leftovers and examined them seeing if it would be edible for him to have. Leaving couple out while returning some back in the fridge. He threw out the ones that were left out of the fridge into the trash after seeing molds formed. After looking through the food and washing his hands, he grabbed a carrot then resumed wandering around the house while biting off the tip of the carrot.

"Hmm.. he should've told me where the remote was..."

He mumbled staring at the black screen of the TV with no remote in sight. Remembering about the cafe, Daehwi turned his head quickly and returned to the kitchen finding the cafe business card.

"Hmm.. now.. the phone.. where is that at..?"

Daehwi looked around whiling holding both the card and nearly finished carrot. No phone in the kitchen, not in the halls either. He made a circle returning back to the living room and saw the phone on the coffee table.

"How did I missed this?"

Daehwi thought as he picked up the phone and stared at it.

"Ah! That's why!"

He said suddenly while staring at the TV next to him. He put himself on the couch then dialed the number from the card onto the phone.

"Hello? Forever cafe, are you calling for pick up or delivery?"

The person spoke, the voice didn't sound too familiar that left Daehwi confused.

"U-Uhh.. may I speak to someone... named Bae... Jinyoung...?"

Daehwi asked as his soft voice took over, the person on the other end lowered the phone and shouted for Jinyoung as what Daehwi heard.

"Hello?"

"Jinyoung hyung."

"Ah, Daehwi-ah? Do you need something?"

"A few locations, first, where's the remote.?"

"The remote is somewhere in a drawer of the coffee table in front of you if you're on the couch."

"Two, laundry?"

"Ah, don't worry about them, I'll do them when I get back."

"Why not? I'm bored and there's nothing for me to do other than just eat and watch. Ah! Also where are the drinks at?"

"Hah, this boy. The drinks I have is literally water, they're in the garage in a little fridge. I believe there is some snacks down there too, enjoy yourself okay-"

"Jinyoung! You've been on the phone for 5 minutes already! Go take these orders out!"

Daehwi heard the other shouting in the background, Jinyoung mumbled a sorry to him before speaking back to Daehwi.

"Daehwi-ah, I'll see you later okay? Bye bye~"

"Bye~"

And so the call ended, Daehwi returned the phone back to its place before standing up to go find the door that'll lead to the garage. Thinking he found it, he opened it and see another small storage room. He closed it then continued to look.

"What is this? A treasure hunt?"

Daehwi question as he open and closes more doors after. Going to a door lastly and opening it slightly to check the inside in case it wasn't. He opened it wide enough to see the half filled garage. He climbed down the small steps and looked for fridge that Jinyoung mentioned. During that process, he found the bag of snacks laying around then took some of the small bags out. He went behind couple boxes as he finding the fridge behind them. He knocked down couple of things before hitting a small black shoebox which opened and scattered paper all over the place.
