it was another day, when mina had just came to work in the cafe

she felt surprised herself that she wanted to work there more, not because of the money but because of a certain someone who visited the cafe every day ordering the same thing

but she didn't regret it at all, she loved to talk to the shorter actress, known now as her close friend

" oh mina unnie, here again " chaeryeong grinned as she was wiping the table using a small clothing, the cafe didn't open yet but they always had to clean before opening

" of course i am ' here again ' " mina rolled her eyes before chuckling and chaeryeong passed her an apron that had the cafe logo printed on

" don't tell me, is it because of that new crush of yours? " mina playfully slapped the younger who then winced in pain

" hey, she isn't a crush ─ just a friend " mina stated as she took a peice of cloth and used it to wipe the other tables.

silence had filled the place as more part timers had came inside, and mina wanted to open the shop quickly, wanting to meet her new friend

-

" mina unnie, how's life with reiko? " asked chaeyoung while they were doing a phone call, and mina passed the phone to her child who was too busy drawing and colouring on her note book.

" rei, who is that? " mina cooed while trying to bring the attention from the two year old - which was a success

" her....? " pointing at the screen, reiko had her eyes growing about wide, and mina nods

" she...isn't that mama? "

" me? your mama? rei i am your new aunt, chae ! " chaeyoung laughed from the screen

the three had talked for a while until they heard a certain voice from chaeyoung's line

" chaeyoung ! break time is over "

" oKAY ! minari, reiko, i have to go now. also mina unnie i will visit the cafe today as well okay? " the japanese girl hummed before they had cut the call

two hours.

two whole hours have passed and no signs of chaeyoung at all

and the two hours escalated to three, while made mina frown

she was annoyed and impatient.

" mina, your shift has ended an hour ago i think you should leave " momo begged and mina agreed as she took off her apron

" don't forget to said hi to reiko for me ! "

" i will no worries ! "

and that's when mina left the cafe.

🎬

the clock now strucked eleven pm, which meant it was time to close the cafe

as momo got out and locked the door she saw chae who had finally came

" mina left? " chaeyoung asked the older who nods , hands in her jean pockets

" yeah, she left a few hours ago, she waited for you but you didn't show up so i told her to leave " chaeyoung made an ' ' O ' shape with her lips

" next time you should show up early, mina looks pretty pissed off you know " momo pats on the youngers shoulder before leaving

chae gripped onto her phone tightly

sorry to keep you waiting, mina
