[ San ]

I look up, " Wooyoung? ".

He stops dead in his tracks and looks at me wide-eyed.

" S-San? ", he says with a wavering voice. A small smile forms on his face as he walks over to the counter.

" What a coincidence! We meet again! ", he exclaims. He places his arms on the counter and leans forward to get a good look of me.

" Who's this? San, do you know him? ", Yunho, who just finished cleaning the kitchen, asks.

" He's an acquaintance. His name is Wooyoung. We met at the airport and we were in the same flight ", I reply as look over at Wooyoung who's smiling widely.

" Oh that's nice, I'm Yunho. Do you want me to whip you up a small drink? ", Yunho asks Wooyoung, who nods his head in response. " I would like a Caramel Macchiato please! If you don't mind ".

" Of course, give me a few minutes ", Yunho says as he heads back to the kitchen.

" Take a seat I guess ", I tell Wooyoung, as he nods and sits by the window. " Join me ", he says and I give him a confused look.

I hesitate at first but I slowly get up, with the hot chocolate in my hands, and sit opposite to Wooyoung.

He gives me a small smile, " How have you been? ".

" We met just yesterday ", I say for which he frowns. Just then, Yunho brings out Wooyoung's drink and places it in front of him. " Your caramel macchiato is ready! ".

" It looks amazing! Thank you so much ", Wooyoung takes a sip of the drink and his eyes light up. " It's so good Yunho! ".

" Thanks! Enjoy your drink, it's on the house ", Yunho says and turns toward me, " I'll go count the cash, and then we'll go home ok? ".

" Yeah sure ", I answer and turn towards Wooyoung who's devouring his drink.

" Are you free tomorrow? ", Wooyoung asks me and I widen my eyes. Is he... asking me out or something? It can be a friendly outing too I guess.

" Why are you asking? ", I question.

" I want someone to explore Tokyo with me. I want to go a new place everyday ", he answers with a shrug. " Do you want to travel with me? ".

Traveling seems like a bad idea at this kind of time. I mean, it can get my mind off of a few things. I think I need this. But what about the cafe? I need to work here and help Yunho.

" I want to explore the city with you but I've got a job here that I've got to do ", I say and I see disappoint in his eyes.

" Your shift starts at 4 anyway, you can always travel in the morning ", Yunho who heard our conversation, shouts from the counter. I look back at Wooyoung who now has a wide smile plastered on his face.

" Uh okay then, I accept your invite ", I say and Wooyoung's eyes light up.

" Great! I'll pick you up from here at 8 tomorrow morning ", he says as he stands up, taking his drink with him.

" I've gotta get going now, it's late. See you tomorrow San! Bye Yunho! ", Wooyoung says as he opens the door to leave.

" Bye Wooyoung ", both Yunho and I say while he heads out and closes the door.
