Chereads / The Guy in a Coffee Shop / Chapter 14 - First Anniversary

Chapter 14 - First Anniversary

Today is the day to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of the coffee shop as well as my birthday. It's the 13th day of October, and since it will be the first year of the shop successfully growing up. I decided to celebrate this beautiful day to serve our loyal customers. We decorate the shop like an anime cafe shop and also we decide to use an anime waitress costume for this very special event. 

"Today will be a great day for us! So we need to open the shop as soon as possible." I say to them.

Justin writes on the board that we will be giving free drinks on every pastry they will buy and also have time limits. From 8am to 11am, 2pm to 5pm and 8pm to 10pm. We're all busy from morning until lunch break. After the lunch break, I look at the man, who's always on his spot. He usually visits the shop almost every day. 

"It's Christian Park himself," Jennie whispers as her body shivers. 

"He harassed his fan and had a bad manner so don't come near him," Jennie adds. I glare at her in disbelief.

"You are unbelievable, Jennie. There's no strong evidence against him." I scold her. 

"But—"

"Go back to your post and get some rest. You are tired." I cut her off. She nods and walks out of the counter. 

I grab the glass cup inside the cabinet before brewing some coffee. Then after, I fill the brewed coffee into the cup and pour some of the milk with a flower style, and add some cocoa powder. 

Once I'm satisfied with my work, I grab the coffee and walk closer to him. And so, he notices my presence, looking at me with his eyes wide. My body freezes for a while when I finally see his face. 

And he's the most beautiful man I've ever seen. His sharp jawline that compliments his cute pinkish cheeks as his crescent moon eyes that shines like a diamond. 

I shake my head as I take a long sigh to calm myself. I smile at him and place the coffee on the table. He looks at me, confused as he cocks his head on the side. 

 "I didn't order a coffee." He mumbles in a low tone. 

My heart jumps when finally hearing his voice. The most angelic voice I've ever heard. 'How did they accuse him of having a bad image? I mean look at him.' I thought to myself. 

"It is our anniversary so that coffee is on me." I give him a smile as he takes a sip of the coffee. 

"Thank you." He says while forming a smile. 

"You're welcome." I manage to say, feeling my knees tremble as he smiles. 

Yet, one thing I know about him, he's the most strict actor at the same time, the best actor in Los Angeles. Many directors give him a major role in series and even movies. 

"Do you have anything to ask?" He asks as he snaps me into reality. 

"I-I actually notice that you're always here at the same spot and like waiting for someone." I carefully say to avoid any distress at my statement. He sighs and sips his coffee. 

"Was it bothering you? Don't worry, I will not take any action and scandal here in your shop." He firmly says as his cute smile transforms into a blank start. I swallow my spit, feeling nervous. 

"N-no. That is not what I meant. I know the issue about you but I swear I don't believe that story if there's no evidence. Also, don't take it personally, I just think like you are waiting for someone. I'm sorry if I'm being sensitive to my words." I nervously laugh as my hands are waving, indicating that I'm not accusing him. 

"You are the first person who believes that I didn't harass the "fan" so thank you. It gives me relief that one person believes me." I smile at him, seeing him in relief. 

"Thank you for the coffee." I nod and stare at him while taking his leave. 

After a few minutes, someone taps my shoulder from behind. I turn my body around to see who does that and it's Theodore.

"Christian Park isn't it?" I nod.

"I know that guy." I hum, remembering the scene in the last few days. 

"He is my half brother." My eyes widen when he announces the unexpected news.

"He's a very reserved man. I don't comprehend if he hates me or not since he doesn't talk to me. He just answers me with a quick smile and leaves. He's 2 months older than me and also the same birthday as you. And about the issue, I know he didn't do any harm to his career. It's his passion."  He stops for a while as he looks at me and continues saying, 

"I want to tell him that I'm here for him and even the issue got leaked and moved back in Minnesota but I can't tell him. He's a very busy man." He says. Now, I know that I'm not the only one who's believing that he doesn't do any harm, especially to his fans. 

And I hope he can endure all the pain he's recently experienced. I also hope that he visits again and to see his beautiful fa— What was wrong with me?! My heart beats really fast as I'm thinking about his beautiful face. 

'Am I loving his appearance?' I thought to myself.

"It's not gonna happen. Even if I'm open to a relationship. A perfect like him would never like me." I whisper at myself. Suddenly, Theodore places his arms around me and smirks at me as if he hears me. 

"Amiadainne, you are easy to love since you have a good heart and also have good food so I think Christian will like you, even if I don't know anything about him. As I said he's a reserve and quiet unlike me." 

"Yes, you are very friendly so now back to work. We don't have Tim and we have so many customers right there. So chop-chop!" I say as we get back to our work. I help Justin serve all the orders while Yoongi bakes some pastries since we are out of order and many customers demand some cakes.
