Coffee?

Throwback [Y]

My eyes fell on a flustered Nancy and my heart couldn't help but flutter at the news - wow, she had feelings for me this whole time.

I hugged my girlfriend (Oh my God, she's my girlfriend) and laughed, "This is the best day of my life."

"Okay, enough of this," Hyebin interrupts as she motions the girls to hand out the glasses and pops the bottle, "let's drink!"

...

A bottle of champagne and two litres of soju later, we were on the couch and we alternately stood up to share stories.

I'd like to think I have a good alcohol tolerance, but I was feeling pretty sluggish. Nancy was sitting right beside me with her head on my shoulder and legs thrown over my lap. I'm pretty sure she was feeling it too because all I felt was a strong pulse beating by my shoulder.

But to be really honest, it was our friends who drank the most - I feel like they used us as an excuse to keep on drinking because a while ago, all I remember hearing was:

"Let's take a shot for Nancy!"

"For Yeonwoo!"

"For these fucks finally getting together!"

"For stupid love!"

"For all of us!"

"For Christmas!"

"For Jesus! Kumbaya my Lord, Kumbaya!"

"Yo, what the fuck Nayun."

"Yeah, what the hell."

"You good?"

"Pffttt, Nahhh."

Hyebin was the first to go up and she said, "As the owner of the coffee shop, it was really cool to see how everyone starting getting along. I'm really happy that we made the friends we made and I think it's pretty neat that I can actually call you guys my family."

"Awe Hyebin," I coo-ed.

She scoffed, "Shut up, Yeonwoo."

Then, Jane got up and playfully shoved Hyebin on the couch. "Even though the three of us have only been here for a little over a month, we had a lot of fun spending time with you guys. I remember that one time we all went to the movies and we watched some next horror thing." Everyone buzzed with familiarity and Jane continued, "I remember sneaking in a shit ton of food and candy, and the fact that Nancy and Yeonwoo pretended to be a couple then to sneak in Pocky and chocolates as Nancy's baby bump was priceless."

Everyone laughed and I couldn't help but recall the memory. Back then, I was supposed to be Nancy's girlfriend and she was the baby mama. We got a huge ziplock and stuffed all our shit inside and Nancy disguised it as a bump. The fact that we got into the theatre even though the snack rules were super strict was unbelievable and such a funny moment.

Nayun jumped in, "Don't forget the time we went skating for the first time! That was a good one."

I laughed unexpectedly loud and got the attention of the room. "Sorry, I couldn't help it" I was able to mumble and Nancy snuggles into me closer. I kept on laughing at myself as I can vividly imagine everyone but Daisy and I falling on ice. Jane and Nayun clung onto each other while Nancy tried gripping onto me but kept on falling on her ass. After at least ten falls and a soaked behind, Taeha stepped off the ice, and Jooe and Hyebin stayed by the ledge, constantly jerking back and forth and doing their best not to fall.

It was Taeha's turn to speak up and she recalls the time Daisy, Taeha, Nayun, and I dressed like elves and gave people outside free coffee. We gave everyone we passed Momoland's signature blend and we even embarrassed ourselves in the streets by dancing and entertaining too. But what made that moment worth the while was seeing the smiles on everyone's faces - including the smile of those who lived on the streets. The little initiative Hyebin assigned us that day really opened my eyes and giving people without a home a warm cup of coffee on a cold day really touched me.
