Alice POV
It has been a week since I had that conversation with 'pancake'. Until now I still could not believe that that conversation ever happened and it was so strange. He has been acting strange since then. I opened late that day and I didn't lie when I said that I was caught up with something that caused me to wake up late and open the shop late.
I was reading that night and I didn't stop until I finished that book. Before I knew it, it was already four in the morning. I tried to sleep for at least one hour only, I ended up waking around seven in the morning.
I thought that since I woke up late and opened the shop late, I would not see him. Which I really needed because upon realizing that there is this kind of indescribable affection that is building up inside of me towards him, I am not sure if I could face him calmly.
