In the cafe, everyone was done eating and were about to resume their work when Do Yun came running to Hyun Soo and held her hand,
"I...." He panted
"Have something....to tell you..." He panted heavily.
Hyun Soo looked at him with widened eyes and even before she could say anything Do Yun took her out of the cafe. The left ones in the cafe looked at each other as they realised that Do Yun was here just an instance ago in the cafe and had left along with Hyun Soo...
"What happened Mr Do Yun? Is everything alright?" She asked being worried.
"I want to tell you something..." He declared again.
"Ah right! I also have to tell you something." She said.
"You go first!" He permitted.
"Actually...today I have to attend a party so...can I leave the cafe earlier?" She asked.
Do Yun who was smiling all this time, his smile suddenly fade away. He didn't want her to leave the cafe early today. He wanted to spend time with her.
"What happened? If you don't want then I won't, I'll be here!" She assured but then her phone rang.
'Eun Soo' Showed the called id. Hyun Soo smiled as she looked at the phone screen and looked at Do Yun standing in front of her,
"Can I?" He nodded.
"Yes, Eun Soo!" She replied joyfully.
"Don't forget to come today to my home and also don't be late I don't want any mistake to happen. And don't forget to wear something decent I don't want to see you wandering in my house wearing your lousy clothes..." She ordered arrogantly.
The smile which Hyun Soo had just a moment ago faded within a second as Eun Soo talked to her.
"Are you even listening?" Eun Soo yelled which was probably heard by Do Yun too.
She looked at Do Yun and then looked down,
"Yea-yeah...I'm listening." Her voice lowered down.
"Glad to hear that. Now get back to your so-called part-time job." Eun Soo said and declined the phone.
Hyun Soo put her hand down and sighed deeply. Do Yun quickly understood that it was her sister's call and she probably had asked her to come to the party with her as usual attitude.
He approached her shoulder but Hyun Soo quickly said,
"I'm sorry, Mr Do Yun but...can we talk later." And she went inside.
Do Yun looked at her as she went in. With her, his mood went awful too. He knew how her sister treated her and though he didn't know the reason behind it still, he believed that Hyun Soo wasn't that kind of person who deserves such kind of treatment.
Here Han Gyeol who stood outside far away looked at Do Yun, shook his head slightly with a smirk on his lips.
"Kang Yun Ju I knew she's gonna be your weakness."
****
"Do Yun did you eat any-"
She paused as Do Yun ignored her without even hesitating and went towards the counter. He stood there alone and as everyone else looked at him he said,
"What? Isn't it time to open the cafe? Customers are already waiting up there..." His face was monotonous and so was his voice.
Aera inhaled deeply at how he ignored her in front of everyone when Joon kept his hand on her shoulder. As she looked at him he whispered,
"Be persistent. All the best!" He smiled and Aera smiled back.
Everyone got back to work. Joon and Aera served to the tables while Hyun Soo and Do Yun worked on the counter. Sang Hyeon was nowhere to be seen now. She vanished and everyone here was so busy that no one noticed.
Aera time to time took glances at Do Yun who was busy working standing next to Hyun Soo who was doing work with full concentration too.
"Good afternoon ma'am, what would you like to have?" Hyun Soo asked as she was keeping money in the drawer.
"You're here again?!" The lady yelled standing in front of Hyun Soo on the opposite side of the counter.
Before Hyun Soo could look up Do Yun slightly pushed her aside by her shudders and stood in front of the lady. She was the same customer who had earlier created chaos in the whole cafe with all arguments over who would take her order.
"Sorry, ma'am!" Do Yun bowed.
"What would you like to have?" He asked.
Hyun Soo sighed as she looked at Do Yun.
"As usual, just add one latte to my order." Do Yun nodded and went away to make her order while the lady glared at Hyun Soo.
As Hyun Soo was not in a mood of getting into an argument she just ignored her and started making latte as per her order...
****
"Ms Hyun Soo..." Do Yun took in a deep breath as he clenched the pendant box in his hands.
"I..." He hesitated as he looked at Hyun Soo.
She wasn't looking at him how she used to look. She was showing a behaviour which Do Yun was unaware of hers towards him. Her arms were folded in her back as she stood in front of him while her face had a stern expression.
"I-" He tried again but,
"Before..." Hyun Soo interrupted and Do Yun looked up at her.
"You say further...I want to ask something, can I?" She asked with her monotonous voice.
Do Yun nodded.
"Do you know this thing?" She took her hand in front holding a red handbag...
