It had been a week since her graduation. While Seohyun and Yi Kyung met every day, Han Sora and Lee Junsu didn't meet at all. Junsu wanted to meet her but Sora was declining by giving excuses. She was making herself ready to reject him but she wasn't able to find any suitable words which wouldn't hurt his feelings and won't make him feel rejected.
She had already experienced a heartbreak… and she knew how it was. So, she didn't wanted Lee Junsu to face a heartbreak like her.
This whole week she made herself busy by doing a part-time job in a nearby café around her house. She went there every day in the morning and used to come back at noon. She was taking private classes for her entrance exam… She had decided to study further…
On Friday morning, as usual she dressed up to go to the café. She wore a Denim shirt and a Denim jeans… Tying her hair in a loose ponytail, she plugged the earphones into her phone and inserted them inside her ear.
Bidding her parents goodbye, she walked out of the house and started playing her music. The songs played one by one and she enjoyed listening to them. Various pop songs were being played and the music was loud enough for her to not be able to listen what was happening around her…
When she reached the café, She pressed the pause button on her phone and unplugged the earphones. Greeting to her manager, she got inside the changing room to change into her work clothes.
Wearing an Orange T-shirt and black pant, she came out of the changing room and stood in front of the counter to take the orders.
The café hadn't opened up till now so, there was no one except for herself, her colleagues and the manager.
Clapping her hands, the manager gathered all the employees attention and said "After work is done let us all go and grab some drinks, Alright? The treat is on me!!"
The employees instantly agreed. Who wasn't gonna agree when everything was for free? They cheered loudly and the silent atmosphere turned into a talkative one.
Since, Han Sora was still underage, the manager left all the work for Han Sora to do until they were to arrive back. So, evening came… And all the employees went together with the manager. Only Sora was left in the spacious café with no customers or anyone… Alone!
She sighed and sat back on the chair "Damn!! Being an underage is also a curse…"
As the words left her mouth, she heard the tinkling of the bell which indicated that the door opened… She immediately stood up and bowed "Welcome!!"
"So, this is the reason why you are so busy?"
Hearing a familiar voice, Han Sora looked up and saw Lee Junsu looking at the café, being amazed. He walked towards the counter and said "This café owner seems to be rich!"
Sora kept quiet. She unbelievably stared at the man standing in front of her. She was still stunned by seeing him here.
Lee Junsu noticed her looking at him being all stunned. "Won't you ask for my order?" He gave a mischievous smile and started teasing her "Or… my face is that good that you have to keep on staring at me?"
Han Sora became shy. In a panicked mode, she averted her gaze and changed the topic "What would you like to order?"
"Coffee! I want to know how my girlfriend's coffee tastes like…" He smirked and took out the cash from his pocket.
Sora tapped on the machine and a receipt came out from it. She took the money from him and returned back the change with the receipt. "Please be seated! I will serve you when it is done." She turned back to prepare the coffee.
However, Junsu just stood there. He observed how she was preparing the coffee. His eyes fell on her small hands and he giggled. 'I will hold them when I will drop her home…'
Sora felt a shadow of someone staring her from behind. She instantly turned back and noticed Lee Junsu still standing there. "Please, be seated.. The coffee will be ready in 5 minutes."
Without saying anything, he walked inside the counter. "I want to see how you prepare it… from up close." Standing near her, he saw her keeping the cup under the designated space…
Pressing on the button, she waited for the machine to start pouring…
"Can I hug you?" With a voice as gentle as a soothing music, Lee Junsu held her by her shoulders and requested her.
Sora became baffled as she heard his gentle voice. But more than that… she felt something.. Something like as if he was sad and needed someone to comfort him.
Since, she didn't wanted to misunderstand him… she straightforwardly declined. "I'm sorry. But can we stop bei…"
Before she could say more, she felt herself being pulled in a tight embrace. "What are you doing?" She struggled under his arms and he held her even more tightly. "Let's stay like this for a minute, Please?"
"No. Please… Let me go… Someone will see us." Sora started sobbing as she felt his embrace being even more tight. "You are hurting me! Stop it." She winced with pain.
