Moon, waving: Good Evening, Miss Sun!

Solar, smiled back: Hey! Hi! I want to try your Iced Americano and Red Velvet muffin.

Moon: New drink huh? It’s $5.00

Solar, reaching the credit card: Hmm…

Moon: Thanks! Here’s your card, Miss. Are you okay?

Solar: Yeah… It’s just I have so many things to finish.

Moon: Oh… I know you can finish them all. You can do it!

Solar: Ow~ Thank you…

17 minutes later…

Solar is wondering why her order is taking too long…

Moon, delivering her order: Miss Sun, your orders are here. Just call my name if you need me.

Solar: Thank you. You could've just called me. You don’t have to deliver it. But, thank you.

Moon: No worries. I just want to remove some weight. Enjoy!

Solar smiled towards Byul’s act of kindness. She felt hungry and moved her laptop away.

Solar: Wait what?

Aside from Red Velvet muffin, there’s a Chocolate Truffle Cake, too.

Solar: But I only ordered Red Velvet Muffin… I… Oh there’s a note.

“The sun isn’t as bright as yesterday. I hope this will help. –M”

Solar, flattered: Cute.

10 minutes before closing…

Solar: Miss Moon!

Moon, heard the Sun and walked to her table: Whee, please take over.

Wheein: Okay.

Moon: Hey! Need something?

Solar: Are you busy?

Moon, still standing: Not at all. Why?

Solar: Sit. Let’s talk.

Moon, nervously sitting: Ah… Any problem?

Solar, smiling: Thank you for the cake. It’s my fave cake. It helped, really.

Moon: You’re welcome! Is that it? Water? Do you need water?

Solar: I… I have a problem. I think you can help. No, I have my water here. Thank you.

Moon: Wow! We have the same tumbler!

Solar: You a have a good taste and it shows!

Moon: Duh! Haha! Anyway, what’s your problem? I’m listening.

Solar: May I have your number?

Moon, flustered: …

Solar, looking at Byul with a hopeful eyes: …

Moon, gave her hand: Your phone?

Solar, handed her phone: Here.

Moon, typing her contact number: Done!

Moon: So, your problem is not having my number?

Solar: It may or it may not be…

Moon: You need a rest. Hahaha!

Solar: That’s all. You can go back to your place.

Moon: Call me.

Solar: I’ll think about it.

Moon, walking away: What the… I’ll wait for you.

Solar, smiled and whispered: No. I will…


At Solar’s apartment...

Solar is lying on her bed and scrolling pictures through her phone. A few scrolls made her cry. The room is now filled with sadness. Moments later she fell asleep from too much crying.
