"I'll have a vanilla latte, no sugar"

An old man approaches the counter.

"Ah yes—"

Jae shakes off her distracting thoughts and passes the order to the barista, Lisa.

As the old man turns, a familiar boy steps up.

The same boy that comes every day.

Since that day last week.

"Wait can't I just have one coffee?"

"I'm sorry sir—"

"Please, just one"

His cherry red lips curve into a smile,

"Hey again"

"What would you like sir?"

"For you to remember me"

"I remember you, from last time."

Jae frowns at his question.

His lips fall and slightly part as he sighs.

"Nevermind, I'll have a Carmel Macchiato"
