The woman's slightly trembling body stopped at the mention of a phone number. She smiled and handed the customer her phone number, and the customer seemed delighted, as if he'd won the lottery.
"Thank you, sister! I'll come again next time."
The woman waved instead of saying hello, and the customer waved back, then left the cafe. After that, the woman took many more orders and prepared drinks, and her part-time job was over.
"Phew, you worked hard today. I should go home and eat something."
Yeoju walked home, and on her way, she encountered the customer who had called her earlier. The customer recognized her immediately and ran towards her like a puppy meeting its owner. Yeoju, who had seen so many customers that day, didn't remember the customer.
"See you here again, pretty sister."
"Excuse me, do you know me? I don't know many people..."
"Don't you remember? The customer who took my sister's number!"
"Ah! The person who ordered the caramel macchiato...!"
Only then did the woman realize that the man was her guest, and the guest was delighted that she recognized him. The woman and the guest chatted briefly, and the guest, perhaps uncomfortable with her continuing to call him "guest," decided to reveal his name.
"Sister, my name is Kim Seok-jin.
The female protagonist looked at Seokjin, who suddenly told her his name, with a look of 'What...', and Seokjin, who seemed to be feeling a bit frustrated, explained to the female protagonist the reason why he told her his name.
"My name is Kim Seokjin, so please call me Seokjin."
"Oh, I understand. Seokjin."
Seokjin was so happy that Yeoju called his name, he was jumping for joy. Yeoju was hungry and wanted to hurry home, but Seokjin kept talking to her, making it impossible for her to move. Ultimately, she decided to wait until Seokjin stopped talking and listened to him.
"Oh, it's dinner time. Do you want to have dinner with me, sis?"
Seokjin, perhaps hungry, confirmed that it was dinnertime and invited Yeoju to join him for dinner. Yeoju, deciding that two people would be better than one alone, nodded and headed to the restaurant.
"Sister, eat a lot."
It was clearly the female protagonist who lived, but judging by his actions, it seemed like Seokjin was the one living. The female protagonist found Seokjin somehow cute, and after watching him enjoy his food, smiled faintly before starting to eat herself.
