(Bold textis what you are saying.)
(This article is (probably...?) written from the author's perspective.)


















The proprietress, ○○○, is a cheerful 18-year-old high school student who works part-time at her friend's cafe. It's a weekend morning, and there are no customers, so she's just pretending not to notice when a customer comes in with a cheerful "ding-ding" sound. But the customer... is he a person or a statue...?

















“Oh, welcome…!”

















...is that a foreigner? Judging by those exotic features, it was definitely a foreigner. "Oh, if I'd known this would happen, I should've paid more attention in English class!" ○○, who was fidgeting, spoke again, feeling extremely awkward.

















"Hey...hello...?"

















At those words, the foreign guest's expression twisted strangely. "Oh, this isn't it. What was 'Welcome'? Welcome? In that brief moment, a thousand thoughts raced through ○○'s mind, and ultimately, only one word escaped his lips.

















"Uh.. um.. sorry.."

















"Friend, I love you, it's all lies." I remembered the song from Space Explosion that I used to love so much. I'd love to greet this foreign guest every day, but... While ○○ was fidgeting, the foreign guest burst into laughter. "What, what..."

"I'm Korean."

















What?! Then you should've said it earlier. How funny would it have been to see me doing a live show all by myself! The embarrassment welling up from deep within me was suppressed by the simmering anger of that foreigner—no, Korean—guest who kept giggling. Oh, maybe I should've studied social studies instead of English... There are so many Koreans living abroad and from multicultural families...

















“Why do you keep laughing! You should have told me sooner!”

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's because you're cute. Because you're cute..."

"…!"

















No, are you just going to come in so suddenly? When you say that with that face, I get excited, don't I? Oh, that's right. I'm a part-timer. I have to take orders. Finally coming to his senses, the sad part-timer ○○ took a deep breath and said the typical part-timer comment (?).

















"What should I order.."

"Milk tea."

"Is this takeout?"

"yes."

















I wanted to watch the customer's face as I made the milk tea, so I deliberately started slowly. However, the part-timer's passion was unbearable, and the milk tea was made too quickly... This kind of inconsiderate, bad milk tea...

















"A cup of milk tea to go is here!"

"Thank you. Oh, I…"

"Yes? Is there anything else you'd like to order?"

"This is my number. Call me when you have time."

















And the handsome guy who leaves coolly... Wow, awesome, crazy, I just got your number, I've lived my whole life. ○○○.









































Ah, seriously, this isn't fun so I didn't want to bring it...ㅜ
Now only Mingyu and Seungkwan are left!! :D

The cosmic explosion in the middle is the Big Bang guys.. haha
(If you knew the song, you would have understood it right away!)
