Ben's POV (Cast: Lee Min Ho as Ben)
After I quit the job in the oil company where I usually working offshore for the past fifteen years, I open my own coffee shop in this corner of the road, and a bed and breakfast inn upstairs. This place is in the main road where many Head Offices of multinational companies are. So... I know I will be doing good.
Fifteen years of my life after my graduation are just work... and some casual flings in between, nothing serious. I don't know why, but I didn't feel it, the need to rest my heart to a certain someone.
Maybe like Marla said, I just had not meet the one.
Or... maybe I have her and David in my heart at the same time, there's no space left.
Yup. I run form the fast that I love both my best-friends. One is a man and the other is a woman... which are now married to each other with two kids.
I am soooo fucking fucked up. Don't get me wrong tho, I am not bisexual.
Or maybe because I literally have no one, no family since my parents died when I was 14... and since David is veeeerryyy kind to me, he took me home, literally home like he found a stray dog on the side of the road and decide to keep me as hit pet. He literally said to his father that he is going to raise me. We were classmates on high school, Houduken High (all boys school).
That how his father took me to his house and even he didn't adopt me, he took care of me and pay for my education and the rest is history.
That also how I met Marla, David's childhood friend which even ants know, they're belong to each other since the first eye contact they shared.
Yeah, those two are the closest I ever near the word love. I love them both.
CLING. "I pay for your clothes, your food, your place to live, your education...." A woman walks in my shop while dragging a boy. "So what if people called you my sugar baby, huh?"
SILENCE. Loud silence I may say because the whole coffee shop turn to them. Both of them are sure know how to make an entrance as if how easy on the eyes they are, was not enough.
(this is two people who walk in. casts: Yang Mi as the woman, Tee Jaruji as the boy)

If not because those pair of people come in this Saturday morning, my day in my coffee shop would be just like usual, a nice scent of coffee brew and baked bread.
Now?
Drama.
"Sit." The woman pushes the boy who looks at her in annoyance but can do nothing and just follow her order to sit.
They sit next to the window across at each other with the boy folds his arms in chest.
I blink. The woman probably in her mid 30's and the boy... high school...? Did she just say sugar baby? Why would a babe like her need a sugar baby...? I am willing to fuck her for free. Even if she want me to pay her meal, clothes, shoes, anything, I would.
I know half the man in the coffee shop would too.
"I was generous enough not to demand sex from you." the woman is still angry.
"Mother!" The boys' eyes nearly jumps out of its place.
Wait... did he just said mother?!!
I am lucky I'm the barista. More than half my customer choked on their coffee.
The woman pouts. "If only I open my option, you are not even close to my standard, boy. Not eve close. I don't care how you have girl after girl. You are not meeting my standard." She hisses. "Don't flatter yourself. As far as you can go is my boobs and it was just until you were two years old."
Now people are chocking on their food.
The boy shut the woman's mouth with his right palm. His cheeks are baked to his ears. He is suuuuper embarased. "Okay, okay! I got your point! I f you want to have breakfast with me, I will always say yes and put a nice clothes!!! Now shut up!"
"Hang out at the mall after this, I want to go shopping. And then lunch and then movie in the afternoon and close it with dinner! Don't forget to hug me to sleep!!!" The woman demands.
"Why the fuck it sound awfully like a day date??!!!" He protests.
"Why can't a sugar mommy have a date with his sugar baby??!!"
"Ew!!! Geeezzz!!!! I didnt even call you mommy!"
"But I paid for everything."
"Because I am your son!"
"My baby." She corrects.
"Baby son! Fine! Ugh! I can make a baby, stop calling me baby already."
She pouts. And then she tears up, I guess... because now the boy is panicking.
"Ah, I mean.... Mother... don't do this to me... you always do this... come on...." He wipes the tears from his mother and then sighs. "Mother, please... I already say please."
She pouts.
"Fine... everything you said and even a cuddle to sleep. Geeezzz, you didn't even hug me since I was seven, why now?!"
She starts to cry again.
"Okay, okay!" The boy hurriedly said. And then he presses hard on his temple because he is giving up his life. "Oh God...."
I chuckled. I tap on my waiter who is stunned, he doesn't know what to do. He wants to get their order but he is confused as fuck. "Here, let me." I say.
He thanks me. "Oh, thanks, boss. I just...."
I smiled.
I walk closer to their table. "Can I get your order?" I ask politely.
The woman takes the menu and read it. The boy also read it too. Wow, what a nice view. If the boy didn't shout 'mother' I really believe that this woman is his sugar mommy.
"I will have a hot chocolate and a croissant." the boy says. "What will you have, mother?"
But the woman looks at me from head to toe instead.
"Mother...?"
"Can I have you?" she asks while smiling teasingly.
I am frozen.
I would have say that she can but her son beat me to it.
