Chapter 5 (The Boy Wonder)

"Jasie, what's wrong?"

Yoona was surprised as they entered the cafe in a rush.

"Umm..let's talk once we've settled. Let's sit by that table."

Jasie was pointing at the one near the counter which had a divider to separate the adjacent tables. It was at the corner and since they were the only customers, they would not have to worry about anyone eavesdropping.

"So...should we order our drinks first? I'll first check out their menu okay?"

Jasie did not know how to explain to Yoona about what she felt once she recognized the boy.

"Uhh...sure. Just be quick."

Jasie viewed the main menu of the cafe and decided to order for the both of them. She wanted something very sweet to aid her "hypoglycemia" since she felt giddy right after the incident.

Using that term became a habit to her since her father always had it.

The cafe specialized in chocolate fusion drinks and not much with coffee. It was suited for those with a childish taste and all those lovers of chocolate of course.

She ordered two cocoa double dutch smoothies with a splash of vanilla extract finished with a swirl of soft serve chocolate ice cream right on top. It was their ultimate favorite and was the sweetest drink they had ever tasted.

She thought she would discover new menu items but decided to stick with their usual.

"Already started preparing them to perfection. First time to hang without your family huh?"

"Yeah...Papa is starting to trust me I guess."

The employee had always been the one to face them and it was great to be remembered even as just frequent customers. It was a good place to just chill with family and friends.

Jasie went back to their table with the drinks and took a small sip before she told Yoona anything.

"So, I had this dream last night. You remember that time when we were little and coincidentally met each other in that hotel?"

Yoona pretended to think long and hard but she really remembered that.

"Oooh, that time when I became your superhero?"

Jasie just could not stop her teasing if she did something so life-changing like make her play a video game in order to have some fun. She broke out from her seriousness because killing monsters became her thing but just for a while.

"Yeah...yeah..I almost drowned. You saved me. Happy ending. So get this, I saw a certain boy and he was the only one who seemed out of place."

"Out of place, meaning you do not remember seeing him there?"

Jasie knew that Yoona was fast at grasping things.

"Maybe. I hope you'd tell me something I didn't know with your incredible memory."

Yoona thought that she was going bonkers to seem too interested in a boy. They considered that topic off-limits from the very start and now here was Jasie asking about a male stranger.

Her parents will get pretty mad especially her father once he heard about this.

"Uhh...would you please be more specific? What made you think about him until today?"

Jasie nervously gulped down her saliva and told her that she had seen him just recently.

"The boy we just passed by the crosswalk? Are you really sure it's him?"
