Aish! Why do I have to welcome the costumers and watch Mina and Dahyun have their date? This is Momo's award for winning in our dance battle. And I can sense her looking at them too from time to time.
"Welcome to Cosplay Cafe." I said after I opened the door for the newcomer costumers while glaring at Mina and Dahyun who's laughing right now
"Miss squirrel, it would be nice if you smile a little." A young boy said while holding my hand. I looked at him and flashed a smile. "There. Much better."
Then he and his family went to the counter to order food.
"Aigoo Sana, you need to be professional while doing your work. You look cute in that squirrel onesie but you look scary in that face. Do your work properly." Yugyeom said
He stays here and check how well we are doing.
"You should say that to Momo." I pointed at Momo who's pouring water to a costumer's glass
She's watching Mina and Dahyun, who's currently feeding each other. The glass is already full but she just keeps on pouring water.
"Uhm, that water is enough. Thanks." The teenage girl costumer said
Momo then stopped pouring water, still watching Mina and Dahyun.
"The fuck." Yugyeom cursed. "Momo, come here!"
Momo's eyes widened hearing her girlfriend's brother call her name. She gulped and walked to us.
"Focus on your work. Don't think about anything else but work." Yugyeom said calmly
"Sorry." Momo apologized. "I guess giving Mina and Dahyun a date was a bad idea after all."
"It sure is you pabo." I said
"Okay. Stop it. For now Momo, why don't you wipe the water you spilled?"
Momo nodded and immediately obeyed Yugyeom's command. A new set of costumers came so I opened the door.
"Welcome to Cosplay Cafe!" I managed to say brightly
They smiled at me and proceeded to the counter.
"Hey Yugyeom... Have you talked to Dad already?" I asked and the atmosphere became serious all of the sudden
"Uhm... Yes..." He answered and avoided my eye contact
"What did he say?"
"He asked how I was doing-"
"YUGYEOM."
Silence overtook us. My heart beat faster as I became nervous about his respond.
"W- we weren't done talking." He answered. "Don't worry Sana. I won't stop until he say yes."
I gripped at the door handle and sighed. "He doesn't like being asked the same question over and over again. You know that."
"So? We can't let him separate you and Mina... Again."
"Thank you for coming. Please come again." I said to the costumer and opened the door for him. "I know that Yugyeom. I won't let that happen again."
"What's with the serious atmosphere?" I flinched when I heard Mina's voice
I faced her and smiled. "Nothing. Are you leaving already?"
"Yes. It's almost time for my work." She answered
"Be careful then." I opened the door for her and pecked her lips
She giggled and waved goodbye.
"Damn it. I won't stop blaming myself if you two will get separated." Yugyeom said and messed his hair
---
Finally, work time is over!
We all gathered around in a big table with foods already served. We're all hungry because we have no breaks!
We started eating. No one dared to talk as everyone is busy filling their stomach.
*ring ring
Yugyeom phone rung. He showed the caller ID to us. It was Dad. He placed his index finger to his lips, telling us to keep quiet. Then he answered the call and put it on loudspeaker.
"Hi uncle. What made you call?" He asked as we stopped eating and just watched him
Except for Momo.
"We need Sana and her friends back here."
WHAT?! Is he fucking crazy?! Sending us here then wanting us back there?! We're humans and not some package!
"Why all of the sudden uncle?"
"You talked to me about ms. Myoui last night. I checked her whereabouts and she lives in the Hirai's condo. We can't let them meet."
We already did dumbass. Poor you.
"But how about my cafe? I don't have any workers right now."
"Close it temporarily until you find some new workers."
What a selfish jerk.
"I'm sorry uncle but I can't do that. Maybe if you consider what I told you last night-"
"If you can't help me, then I'll send my men to do the job. *toot"
"Oh shit oh shit oh shit OH SHIT!" He cursed continuously as he stood up. "Where's Mina right now?"
"Probably in the unit already." Jihyo answered
Yugyeom took a long deep breath and faced me. "I can't help you with uncle but I can still help you in another way. But you need to follow my conditions. Everyone needs to follow my conditions."
"What are those conditions?" I asked
"Simple. First, don't ask questions. Second, always follow what I say." He answered. "Now... Jihyo, is my van still at the parking lot?" Jihyo nodded. "Everyone, get in the van. Now."
We didn't finished our food and did what Yugyeom said. He drove the van to the condo fast and we hurriedly went to Jihyo's unit.
"Why are you guys in a hurry?" Mina asked the moment we entered the door
"Pack all the things you need to live." Yugyeom commanded
"Just do what he says." I said to Mina
Since the others and I doesn't have stuffs, we just helped Mina and Jihyo pack while Yugyeom is talking with someone over his phone.
"I thought he's gonna help you two, so why is everyone involved?" Tzuyu asked while packing
"Ssh, remember the first condition." Chaeyoung said and Tzuyu just rolled her eyes
"Are you done already?" Yugyeom asked and put his phone down
"Not yet. But almost done." Dahyun answered
"So here's the plan... We're going to US. I need you all to come because if someone gets left behind, uncle won't stop bothering that someone. I own a small secret hidden village in US that no one knows, even my family. There are still vacant houses there and that's where you're going to live. Any question?"
"Can-"
"First condition." Yugyeom cut Momo off and Momo just lowered her head. "I'm just gonna check the other unit."
He went to the door and opened it but closed it immediately.
"Jackson is in front of the other unit."
Jackson is one of the most trusted men of Dad.
"Why is he so fast?!" Yugyeom added. "Any idea how we can escape without Jackson noticing?"
"Who's Jackson?" Chaeyoung whispered
"One of Dad's men." I whispered back
"Can't we just wait until he leaves?" Tzuyu suggested
"No. If we stayed here longer, more of uncle's men will come." Yugyeom said
"I have an idea." I said and everyone looked at me. "Dahyun, you have a picture of us having a party in a club, right?" Dahyun just nodded. "Post it in social media and make people think that tonight, we're in a club."
"Good idea. Dahyun, do that." Yugyeom said
Dahyun took out her phone and did just that. Yugyeom opened the door again and took a peak outside.
"Okay. We're good. Jackson left already. We're clear. Ready to go?"
We all nodded and helped Mina and Jihyo carry their stuffs. We went to the parking lot and get in the van again.
"It's gonna be a long trip since my private jet is far from here so feel free to sleep." Yugyeom said and started driving
I felt Mina's hands to mine and she started caressing it. She smiled at me and leaned her head to my shoulders.
"Your Dad said no to Yugyeom, didn't he?" She asked
"Don't mind Dad anymore." I answered and brushed her hair using my fingers
She closed her eyes as she fell asleep. I kissed her head and tried to sleep too.
"Sana." Tzuyu called who's on my other side
"Hmm?" I hummed and faced her
"When we broke up, I still loved you. When Mina came, I still loved you. When you confessed to her, I still loved you. When she left, I still loved you. I just wanted to confess that." She said without making an eye contact
"Tzuyu... I'm so sorry-"
"BUT, I've moved on Sana. I think... I fell in love again. When I saw her, I fell in love with her beauty. When I got to know her, I fell in love with her kindness. She's like a real-life goddess inside and out."
My lips curved into a smile. Tzuyu's in love with that train. They'll make a cute couple!
"I'm happy that you're in love with Jihyo." I said
She blushed and faced me. "H- how did you know that I'm talking about her? You better not tell anyone about this Sana. I swear if you-"
"Calm down Yoda. I won't tell anyone about this. I promise." I chuckled and she just glared at me
"Just sleep Minatozaki." She said and rolled her eyes
I chuckled once again and she started hitting my arms.
"Just sleep and forget about what I said!" She whispered
"O- okay, stop it!" I laughed and she held my hand tight. Too tight that it hurts. "O- ouch! I promise I'll forget about it!"
"Yah! Stop making noise!"
Tzuyu stiffened at hearing the voice of her loved one. She let go of me and faced the other side.
Aigoo this kid...
I just leaned my head to Mina's and closed my eyes. Tzuyu's in love with Jihyo! TZUYU'S IN LOVE WITH JIHYO!
I'll be their ultimate shipper!
I smiled at the thought and drifted to dreamland.
