TaengSic (COMPILATION)

Brown Eyes (OS)

"Taeng, one iced caramel frap to go! Less whipped cream and caramel drizzle!"

"Aye aye Yul!"

Taeyeon grabbed a plastic cup and began preparing the drink. When the drink was done, she placed it at the collection counter and called out the name on the cup.

"One iced caramel frap to go. Name's Jess."

A young girl in a white hoodie stepped forward to pick up the drink. Normally, Taeyeon would simply say a quick thank you and continued to fulfil the rest of the drinks order. However, there was something different today.

Though their eye contact was brief, Taeyeon was certain she saw the most beautiful pair of brown eyes and it belonged to the hoodie girl.

Taeyeon hadn't realised the girl was gone until she felt a tap on her shoulder. A tall girl with sun-kissed skin was standing next to her and giving her a stern look.

"Taeng, no time to be day-dreaming right now. There're many customers waiting in line. I need you to step up to clear the morning rush hour crowd."

"Sorry, Yul. What's next?" Taeyeon appeared slightly flustered as she scrambled to prepare the next drink order.

Over the next few days, Taeyeon noticed the same hoodie girl ordering the same drink with the same request. Unfortunately, she had no time to look out for her due to the morning rush hour crowd. By the time she heard Yuri, the supervisor, barking out the orders, the hoodie girl had already stepped away from the counter and among the crowd. The only times Taeyeon saw that beautiful pair of brown eyes were during the drink collection. It was brief but it became the highlight of Taeyeon's busy morning.

One day, Yuri called in sick due to a bad flu and Taeyeon had to do cashier duty instead of making the drinks. The butterflies in Taeyeon's stomach grew as time past. She was feeling nervous at the thought of meeting the hoodie girl face to face. In the end, her nervousness was forgotten as she got busy handling the morning rush hour crowd.

The morning rush hour crowd was finally thinning. Taeyeon heaved a sigh of relief when she managed to have a chance to take a breather. While drinking from her bottle of water at the back room, Taeyeon heard one of the baristas calling her name and informing her of an incoming customer. Putting her bottle back into the locker, Taeyeon hurried out to the cashier to take the customer's order.

"Good morning!" Taeyeon greeted in her usual chirpy voice.

The next instant, Taeyeon's heart skipped a beat. Standing in front of her was the hoodie girl. It was the first time Taeyeon saw her up close. There was a rush of happy feelings through her body. Taeyeon felt a little light headed but managed to keep her composure.

"Morning, I would like ..."

"An iced caramel frappuccino with less whipped cream and caramel drizzle on the top," Taeyeon grinned. "Take away right?"

The hoodie girl was a little taken aback. She nodded with a smile.

Taeyeon scribbled the order on the cup. Her heart was pounding faster with every second. She could smell the scent of wisteria wafting through the air and was sure it came from the hoodie girl's perfume.

"It would be five dollars," Taeyeon paused. "Jess."

"Ah." The hoodie girl handed over a five dollar note.

"You come in so often, so I'm familiar with your order," Taeyeon explained. "Your drink will be ready in a jiffy."

Taeyeon turned around to prepare the drink personally. It wasn't the first time Taeyeon prepared this drink order but somehow it felt different this time.
