The next day, Chaeeun decided to work full shifts for just three days because the manager had taken leave for personal reasons.
정채은
“Phew…”
Chaeeun tidied the table one last time, wiped it with a cloth, and took off her apron.
If it had been like usual, she would have been happy at the thought of getting off work, but today, for some reason, her feet just wouldn’t move.
She checked her phone, but there were no messages.
Chaeeun absently turned the screen off and on again.
And before she knew it, she let out a snort of laughter.
정채은
“What am I even doing… heh”
Until just a few days ago, when Seongho contacted her, she would think about how to reply and then send a response.
In truth, the title of “president” had felt burdensome, and knowing he was a lot busier than she was only made her more mindful of it.
But if he didn’t contact her, something felt empty.
Then her phone rang.
Caller: President Park Seongho
정채은
“Hello?”
박성호
“Are you off work?”
정채은
“I’m just getting off now,, ”
박성호
“Chaeeun, you’re not on the morning shift?”
정채은
“Ah, the manager asked me to help for a few days, so I’m getting off at 5 for just three days.”
박성호
“Ahh... It’s a relief you’re off work even now.”
정채은
“Huh..?”
박성호
“I called because I wanted to hear your voice.”
Until just a few days ago, she would have laughed it off, but for the first time those words stayed in her heart.
For some reason, they made her flutter, and etched themselves into her mind.
정채은
“President, you say things like that so casually?”
박성호
“Only to Chaeeun.”
박성호
“If you hate it, I’ll stop.”
정채은
“No, I like it.. heh” ((grin
박성호
“Then I’m glad.”
정채은
“President, why are you so good to me?”
This time, Seongho didn’t answer.
After a brief silence, Seongho spoke softly.
박성호
“Because I like you, so I’m good to you.”
정채은
“((startled”
Chaeeun stopped walking for a moment.
In front of the streetlight, she stared at her phone by herself for a bit.
She already knew, because she had heard his confession.
But hearing it over the phone felt different.
정채은
“...You know I still haven’t answered, right?”
박성호
“I know.”
정채은
“And even so... you’re being good to me?”
박성호
“Yes.”
박성호
“I’m good at waiting, so don’t worry.”
For some reason, she remembered Seongho sitting in a place where she could see him clearly inside the café.
A man in a suit who always sat in the same seat and drank his coffee.
A man who, even when he was busy, drank the coffee she had made all the way to the end.
Even when they had promised to have dinner together, he had gone along with the menu she wanted.
In the end, Chaeeun admitted it to herself.
That she had been waiting for Seongho’s contact.
정채은
“....President.”
박성호
“Yes.”
정채은
“Well...”
The words wouldn’t come easily.
She had called him on impulse, and couldn’t think of what to say.
박성호
“It’s okay, take your time.”
정채은
“Are you coming to the café tomorrow too?”
She heard a small laugh through the phone.
박성호
“I will. Since Chaeeun is waiting.”
정채은
“What time will you come?”
박성호
“I’ll come an hour before you get off work.”
정채은
“..Really? What are you going to have?”
박성호
“You choose for me.”
정채은
“Why?”
박성호
“Because the coffee you make for me is delicious.”
정채은
“..Seriously//”
박성호
“Hmm?”
정채은
“You’re too kind with your words.”
박성호
“Then should I be kind to other people too?”
정채은
“...I don’t think so.”
Without meaning to, her true feelings slipped out.
For a moment, silence hung in the air.
정채은
“Ah.. well//”
박성호
“Chaeeun.”
정채은
“Y-yes...?”
박성호
“Can I take what you just said to mean I can count on you?”
정채은
“Um...///”
정채은
“You can count on me a little..//”
Could President Park really be serious about me...?
He’s the first person who’s treated me this well.
What on earth does he mean by saying it’s because it’s me that he’s being nice...?
정채은
“Um..,,”
Chaeeun stared at her phone for a long time before deciding to contact Seongho.
“See you at the café tomorrow..! ”
정채은
“That should work...?”
The moment she pressed send, her heart trembled and pounded.
A little while later, a reply arrived.
박성호
“Okay, I’ll be waiting.”
Chaeeun looked at those words and smiled softly.
She still hadn’t said she liked him.
But now even Jeong Chaeeun herself knew it.
That a person named Park Seongho,
was slowly entering her everyday life.
Hearting!
