After losing a significant part of her life, Lisa deeply wished to return that significance to someone by doing something meaningful, not knowing that she was getting herself involv...

Lisa really disliked the smell of peppermint leaves and now that both, her backpack and her hands, smelled like peppermint she had to avoid wrinkling her nose in a disgusted manner. She wished her grandmother wasn't in need of them all the time, but that was nearly impossible, since her café was known for serving refreshing peppermint tea. Lisa may or may not be one of the few people, who preferred drinking coffee at her grandmother's café.
"Take care and have a nice day!", Lisa bid farewell to their last customer and started closing the café by cleaning the counter, while her grandmother took care of the cash register. When the customer left, Lisa turned their door's 'welcome' sign around and closed the door to help her grandmother with cleaning up. With her purple apron on and dark brown hair tied in a high ponytail, she cleaned every table inside.
"You haven't had a single break today until I came back from school, how about you sit down for a bit?", Lisa suggested to her grandmother and when she purposely avoided answering the question, still counting what was inside the cash register, Lisa made her way towards her. She took the money that was in her grandmother's hands, put it on the counter and held her hand to guide her towards one of many empty seats. Seating her weak figure on a seat, Lisa did not let go off her hand and kneeled in front of her. "I will do the remaining things"
"You should go up to your room and either rest or study", her grandmother complained, but did not stand up since she knew Lisa disliked her going against the things she said.
"Don't worry, I emptied all our caffeine stocks, there's plenty of energy to study", Lisa joked, but made it sound serious enough for her grandmother to believe. Everyone that knew Lisa also knew that she was addicted to coffee - firstly it was just a method to keep studying productive, but afterwards she found coffee to be her alcohol replacement. Feel tired? Drink coffee. Feel depressed? Drink coffee. Feel cheerful? Drink coffee. In other words: it was likely to assume, she was able to empty caffeine stocks.
When she heard her grandmother suck in her breath loudly, Lisa let a quiet snicker escape her mouth. She was so easy to fool, like Jisoo once said.
"I should have seen that coming! When you served that one handsome, male customer I thought your hands were quivering in nervousness, since you're still young and unexperienced", the old lady threw her hands in the air dramatically to make her disappointment clear, not only verbally.
"Wait what-"
"Turns out my granddaughter is allowing herself to get a big treat!", she rested her palms on her head, not daring to look at Lisa, who was more than confused.
"Woah now stop right there!", Lisa ordered and put the money down to look at her disappointed grandmother. "First of all, I wasn't nervous around that jerk, who broke up with his girlfriend in the middle of their conversation – I was literally ready punch his face in anger – and second, I only had two cups today"
