Cafe 01

CAFE 01

On this hot day in August, I came out at 12 PM and entered the cafe to do my homework.
In the summer, I drink iced Americano and do my homework. That's me, Kim Yeo-ju.
It will be healing. I'm going to go to a new cafe this time, so I'm not just going to go there, but I'm going to go there for a bit.
I was concerned. The owner and the part-time worker at that cafe were so handsome.



It was quite exciting for me, who had only been in a relationship twice in 21 years.
I think 90% of the reason I haven't been able to date is because of my ideal type.
Honestly, I've received a lot of confessions. My ideal type is a bit picky.
I didn't like it. My ideal type is someone who is handsome and looks good in a suit.
I had to be tall and have a strong sense of humor.



I was debating whether to wear a pretty dress and heels or jeans.
For me, who is tall, today I am wearing jeans and a blouse.
She put on accessories like earrings and a ring and sprayed some perfume before heading out.



What the heck? He's so handsome. No, he's my ideal type.
I guess you're taking orders. You have broad shoulders that show even when you're wearing an apron.
With a face that is not the visual you usually see in cafes
Would you like to order?This is so cool that I even thought about getting the number.
For me, whose jeans fit well, today's coordination was really good.
He poured out self-praise.



Finally, my turn has come. Once again, with a wonderful voice.

Would you like to order?

Please give me an iced Americano.

Fortunately, I was not flustered and completed the order. After receiving the vibration bell,

Sitting by the window, with my laptop on the table, I act like a career woman.

I tapped away at the keyboard. After a while, I ordered an iced Americano.

A slice of cheesecake that I didn't order was brought to me.

The iced Americano you ordered has arrived.

I didn't order a cake?

For a moment, I thought the order was wrong and replied that I did not order the cake.

Then he said:

I paid for the cake.

I feel bad saying this on our first meeting, but

I fell in love at first sight. If you don't mind, could I have your number?

Could you please tell me?

I also like how he has perfect manners and speaks calmly and clearly.

I got it. By the way, what kind of windfall is this that you like me?

If you look closely, it seems like he's the cafe owner, so why would I refuse?

He said he understood and gave me his phone number.

Thank you. What is your name?

My name is Kim Seok-jin, the former owner of the cafe.

My name is Kim Yeo-ju. I'll gladly eat the cake.

You seem busy, so can we talk more slowly later?

Go quickly haha

Thank you, Ms. Yeoju. I will definitely contact you after work is over.

My heart was beating so hard I thought I was going to lose consciousness.

I honestly don't even know what I said. He's my perfect

Because he was my ideal type and the person I fell in love with at first sight.

There was so much I wanted to say, but I held back for fear of making a bad first impression.

I became curious about everything about him, including how old he was, what he liked, and his ideal type.

This is the first person I fell in love with at first sight.

The man exchanged numbers and appeared to be concentrating on his work.

He seems to be a person with a clear sense of public and private life. No, perhaps it is natural, but I

Is it because I'm hallucinating and it looks so cool? I guess so.

When I just stare at that person, he seems like such an easy person

I also focused on my assignment and finished it in two hours. It took longer than I expected.

After taking my laptop and homework, I checked that no one was there and slowly walked to the counter.

I walked.

Mr. Kim Seok-jin, thank you for your hard work. I'll be waiting for your contact.

I'm sorry, Ms. Yeoju. I was so busy that I couldn't even give you a full explanation.

I'll be sure to contact you later. Take care.

Come again next time.

I smiled, answered positively, and left the cafe.

It really felt like this moment was just the two of us standing still. With light steps.

I left home.

When I got into the dorm, I told my roommate everything that happened that day.

My roommate was not the same age as me, but was a year older than me.

We became close friends pretty quickly because we had a lot in common and treated each other like friends.

Then my roommate started to fuss and asked what happened and when she would contact me.

I was so excited. I was so happy that my sister was doing so well. I had to have good news.

I was slurping down kimchi stew alone, hoping to be heard. At that moment,

Tiring-And a notification came on my phone.

It was Kim Seok-jin.

It was a simple, neat sentence, with a tone of voice I like, asking if I got home safely.

Then I learned his age, full name, and ideal type. Actually, I think the best part of a blind date is meeting him, so it wasn't really a blind date for me, but I decided to meet him tomorrow.

It was actually a very good timing for me, as I had nothing to do tomorrow.

That person's ideal type is someone who responds well to my calls, trusts me, and only looks at me.

He said he was a person. I will gradually hear about his past and various information.

As I listened, I became curious about many things. We talked for a short time and quickly

It was already 2 a.m., so I felt a bit sad, but I finished the conversation and lay down in bed to sleep.

The next day

What should I wear on a date with my ideal type, or rather, the person I fell in love with at first sight?

I was really in deep thought. For me, who is far from my usual comfortable look,

It was full of lovely, innocent clothes. My roommate got up and helped me choose my look.

I'm wearing a beautiful frilled dress, white shoes, a white bag, and a ring today.

After putting on the necklace and earrings without wearing anything, I gave a quick greeting to my sister.

I went to meet my future husband.

When we arrived at the meeting place, Kim Seok-jin was waving his hand at me and smiling brightly. The air felt refreshing as he stood in front of me wearing a neat boyfriend look.

I had dinner with him at a fancy restaurant. My family always had a course meal at least once a month. So, we were having a quiet meal in a restaurant where it felt natural, and he was the one who spoke.

Miss Yeoju, did you like the cake yesterday?

Yes, it was really delicious. It was my favorite cake.

It's cheesecake. What kind of cake do you prefer, Seokjin?

I like all cakes. What is your favorite food, Ms. Yeoju?

I enjoy eating pasta and salad. What about you, Seokjin?

I also like pasta and meat. I also like rich food.

Oh, really? Our tastes in food are similar.

I like things that I feel, too.

Mr. Seokjin, what are your hobbies?

I like playing games. I run a cafe.

I also enjoy studying and researching about coffee.

I also love cooking, so seeing other people eating my food makes me happy.

Oh really? I'm not good at cooking

Next time, I want to try what Seokjin cooks.

I will definitely do it next time.

After much conversation, the awkwardness gradually eased, and after finishing our food, we slowly got up. We learned about Seokjin's tastes and likes. My only drawback is that I can't cook. Fortunately, Seokjin likes it even if I can't. We left the restaurant and went to a cafe with a great atmosphere popular on social media. We ordered two Americanos and cheesecake and continued our conversation.

Today was an exciting day that will remain in my memory. As we talked about this and that, shared little things, and got to know each other, it was true that I developed feelings for each other, and whenever I looked for something with similar tastes, I was happy because I felt like I had found something in common.

Perhaps because it was our first meeting, Kim Seok-jin seemed a little nervous and didn't start talking right away. Just as I was thinking that I should start talking next time, I found myself already looking forward to our next meeting. I guess I really did like him.

Miss Yeoju, I really enjoyed today.

I'll take you there.

Thank you. I had a great time today too.

He must have had good manners, as he opened the car door and smiled at me as he told me to get in. They say women get excited by little things, but I'm just simple-minded and liked everything about Seokjin.

Miss Yeoju, where should I go?

Ah, please go here, 0000.

Miss Yeoju, you looked so beautiful today.

You were beautiful when I first met you.

Seokjin, you looked so cool today too.

You were standing so still that I thought it was a pictorial.

Did you know that the girls were glancing at Seokjin the whole time we were spending time together? LOL

No. Maybe he looked at you because you were beautiful?

Oh, it's really nothing special, maybe it's just empty words, but I wonder why this is so good. This guy is really a player.

After arriving home and getting off, Seokjin rolled down the window and blurted out a word as if he was not paying attention.

Ms. Yeoju, I really enjoyed today.

And it was truly beautiful.

Thank you for your hard work driving.

You must be tired, so please go in quickly.

I had a really fun time today too.

I will contact you.

I walked home with light steps, reminiscing about the day. My sister kept bombarding me with questions, and I said I was too tired and would go shower first.

I came out after a thorough shower and saw my phone screen on. The timing was perfect: I'd received a call five minutes earlier.
