The young woman had a frown on her flawless skin, creases dented on her forehead and wandering eyes over the cafe, eyes filled with worry depicts thousands words despite being unspoken. She had checked all rooms and office even the washroom many times since she entered in the cafe. But the void in her heart didn't calm down. She had a spare key which was given by the previous owner makes it easy for her to enter.
She diligently did her work , managed all the customers with ease despite being a single worker at the moment. There are two more people who work at the said cafe - a middle age man who was on leave today due to the sudden labour pain of his wife and other was a teenager who had a important assignment due for today. She didn't complain about the extra works though and quietly managed it being the sole server, cashier and even chef.
But her boss' absence was eating her up. He's neither a careless nor a lazy person which he had already proven since his arrival in the cafe. He never delegates his work to others but he hadn't come yet. No phone call or even a short message from his side to informed her about his reasons.
In just this short time, he captures her heart and make a separate space for himself. He became the first thought of early morning. They had been in touch with texts and virtual greetings. Now her phone's screen seems empty due to the void of messages from him. Her once nice morning mortified into lonely one.
She never knew that he's presence was this exciting and comfortable making it easier to spent her working hours easily but now every seconds were seeming too heavy to live. Her thoughts cant help but to assume the worst. She could help but worry about his health.
"Where are you Tae?" she calls him in soft whisper with endearment and affection laying in every word.

" One more" order the already drunk man. It was his 7th bottle of Beer. But seems like his thirst didn't quench despite his already bursting bladder. During this time of morning, no alcohol shops were open making him loose his mind as he just wanted to dwell himself in the every drop of beer. Due to annoyance, he began to thrash near a wine shop resulting in the owner to be bless by his existence.
Thanks to a old man who didn't handover him to cops upon watching the condition of young lad. Pool of tears fill in that young man's eyes threatening to fall and broken state, soften the heart of old owner. He opened the shop only for him and flip back the close sign for everyone else. Since that, the unknown man clad in stylish casual clothes was doing nothing except just sprouting order around for more shots.
Taehyung can still feel the sharp pieces of his broken heart, the emptiness burning in his soul lightning more and more with every passing seconds. The weight of his heart appears more heavy from the dreadful event making it difficult to breathe. Holding on the glass of pale beer tightly for his dear life like a support, he manages to sit still in his chair. Slowly and steadily, every drop of alcohol takes his sanity way and became a unfocused man whose clear motive was to sip off the last drop of beer from this world.
Emotions began to flow out from the now boundary-less Gang-leader. Hiccuping on every sip and then crying like a adult baby, he puke all the feelings of betrayal, irritation, anger and love.
His eyes leave a dam of tears towards his face, his thick and lavish lips became red and puffy from continuous lip biting to control him from crying out loud. No one can imagine that a fearful gangsta would crying like a broken lover for a simple ordinary girl. The once hard hearted man was weeping in a small beer shop and trying to collect all the broken pieces of his heart.
But what power that young simple holds in his body ans soul is only known by him. She can built or break him but he would say a word against her. Even if she tells him to get lost from her life, then he would surely do the same without fighting back but still would take care her from far. That's how deep his love is for his sweet , innocent goddess.
The sight before the old and grey haired man was odd and dreading but still he grasp the situation and pitied the young lad. He take a sit beside the drunk man and asked him for his name to start a much needed conversation.
It immediately made the wasted Taehyung to frown in response. Even in his lost mind and state, he clearly heard the old man's question.
" Why are you asking huh, I said to prepare another shot, make it quickly" he muttered in a bratty tone with his absent mind and started throwing tantrums.
The old grandpa ignore the disrespect and bratty behaviour as that unknown man wasn't in the right mind.
" Okay okay don't be salty. You don't want to tell me your name. Then so it be. But my name is Luke. Children often calls me single duke" he said and let out a chuckle from his humourless joke.
" Did I ask?No, so get me another shot quickly" said a now irritated Tae not finding any comical aspect in the words of the man beside him.
" Child! Now your words are really hurting me. But let it aside for now. So let me tell you my story then you have to tell me about your too. Deal" the man tried to bargain with the tipsy man.
Not knowing what the hell is happening around him , Taehyung instantly nod and accept the deal locking it with Pinky promise.
'' Me me.. first i'll go" Tae said in cute childish and began to pat his chest hardly to go on first resulting in a appreciative nod of the oldy.
" Umm.. I-i got to know that my girl whom I like a lot.. no no loves a lot was hugging another man and kicching him here" tae blabber while making a kissing pout for special effects.
" Oh that's quite sad man. Now my turn" Grandpa patted him on his back to calm the agitated adult.
