The next day, 4 PM
When the cafe door opened, Chaeeun unconsciously lifted her head
And a familiar face appeared in front of her
정채은
“ .. Welcome “
It was the usual greeting
But today, somehow, her voice trembled
Sung-ho looked at Chaeeun and slightly lifted the corners of his mouth
박성호
“ You came again today “
정채은
“ What are you having today? “
박성호
“ ? Didn’t you say Chaeeun would choose for me? “
Chaeeun thought for a moment, then nodded and spoke
정채은
“ Okay, I’ll make it for you “
박성호
“ (( smile “
In the middle of making coffee, Chaeeun felt a gaze from behind her
When she glanced back, he was smiling at her
윤예지
“ Chaeeun, the boss seems to like you, huh? ”
정채은
“ Huh…? ”
윤예지
“ As expected, other people’s love lives are the most fun. He’s over there looking at you all pleased ”
정채은
“ Ah, what’s so fun about that // ”
박성호
“ ? hehe ”
정채은
“ Why… do you keep looking at me? ”
In the end, she asked out of curiosity
박성호
“ Because you’re pretty ”
Sung-ho answered as if it were nothing
At those words, Chaeeun’s heart suddenly started beating fast
정채은
“ Boss.. ”
박성호
“ Yes? ”
정채은
“ You really.. say that so casually when there are people around? “
박성호
“ Why? It’s true ”
정채은
“ Because there are customers here // ”
Sung-ho stood up from his seat and walked toward the counter
Chaeeun’s heart started racing again for no reason
박성호
“ Chaeeun ”
정채은
“ Yes? ”
박성호
“ Are you free tonight? ”
정채은
“ Why? ”
박성호
“ I was going to ask you to go on a date “
정채은
“ A date…?? ”
박성호
“ Yes, ”
정채은
“ You mean you want to go with me? ”
박성호
“ Yes, I want to go with Chaeeun ”
정채은
“ … Ah ”
박성호
“ If… is that uncomfortable? ”
정채은
“ It’s not that… ”
박성호
“ Then that’s a relief ”
정채은
“ ?? Wait a minute ”
박성호
“ Hmm? ”
정채은
“ I haven’t answered yet—is that okay? ”
박성호
“ It’s okay ”
정채은
“ But… ”
박성호
“ I’m waiting so you can say it comfortably, Chaeeun ”
박성호
“ But waiting all by myself would feel a little unfair ”
정채은
“ ?… ”
박성호
“ So I’m going to try ”
정채은
“ Try what..? ”
박성호
“ To make you like me, Chaeeun ”
정채은
“ … /// ”
박성호
“ So, go on a date with me tonight ”
정채은
“ Until what time…? ”
박성호
“ I’ll leave when you say you’re going home ”
정채은
“ Boss, are you sure? You’re busy.. “
박성호
“ Puhuh .. hehe thanks for worrying ,, I finished work early and came ”
정채은
“ What is this.. hehe ” (( smirk
박성호
“ Then that means you’ll say yes, right? “
정채은
“ Hehe ,, yes ”
윤예지
“ Ooo ,, Jeong Chaeeun’s going on a date? ”
정채은
“ What’s wrong with you? // “
윤예지
“ If it goes well, tell us ”
정채은
“ Ah, why do you keep saying stuff like that // ”
윤예지
“ Dress up nicely when you go ”
오후 7:40
Late afternoon
박성호
“ Is Chaeeun not here yet? ”
정채은
“ Sung-ho…! ”
박성호
“ !…. // ”
정채은
“ Sorry ,, I’m a little late, right? ”
박성호
“ Ah .. // ”
정채은
“ ? Why are you looking at me like that? ”
박성호
“ Because you’re pretty ”
정채은
“ There you go again..// ”
박성호
“ You’re already pretty, but even prettier today ”
정채은
“ I’m embarrassed…,, ”
박성호
“ Puhuh .. hehe then I’ll go slowly “
정채은
“ Slowly with what? ”
박성호
“ With making you not embarrassed “
정채은
“ Is that even possible? ”
박성호
“ Doesn’t seem like it ”
정채은
“ What is that.. ”
Sung-ho lightly held out his hand to Chaeeun
Chaeeun took his hand too and looked down at their joined hands
박성호
“ My feelings for Chaeeun are bigger than I thought ”
정채은
“ .. Do you like holding hands too? ”
Chaeeun asked in a small voice
Sung-ho thought for a moment and answered
박성호
“ I do ”
정채은
“ Really? ”
박성호
“ Yeah _ it feels like we’re getting a little closer now ”
Chaeeun’s face turned slightly red, and she couldn’t get the words out well
Sung-ho looked at her like that and slowly started walking
박성호
“ Let’s go to a good restaurant for dinner tonight ”
정채은
“ Hehe .. okay ”
박성호
“ And… ”
정채은
“ ? What is it? ”
박성호
“ I have something to ask you, but I’ll ask before you go home ”
정채은
“ Why not tell me now? ”
박성호
“ Because if I say it now, you might run away ”
정채은
“ Puhuh … hehe why would I run away ”
박성호
“ (( smirk ”
Without realizing it, Chaeeun suddenly held Sung-ho’s hand tightly
Sung-ho must have felt it too, because he squeezed Chaeeun’s hand back
After having a simple dinner, the two of them slowly walked down the street
There were still a lot of people walking around the park and on the streets
Chaeeun was still holding Sung-ho’s hand as she walked
At first it was awkward, but as time passed, the awkwardness faded
박성호
“ Are you cold, by any chance? ”
정채은
“ Ah …. A little ”
Then Sung-ho draped the jacket he was wearing over Chaeeun
박성호
“ Wear this ,, I’ve got another layer underneath ”
정채은
“ It’s okay ”
박성호
“ You’re cold _ wear it ”
정채은
“ What if you get cold, Boss? ”
박성호
“ I’m fine ”
정채은
“ Ah… thank you ”
Sung-ho draped the jacket over Chaeeun’s shoulders and fixed it for her
And because they were so close, Chaeeun’s face turned a little red
정채은
“ Why are you looking at me like that? ”
박성호
“ Because I like it “
정채은
“ Like what? “
박성호
“ Being together like this. I like it so much ”
정채은
“ ..// Boss, are you always this honest? “
박성호
“ I’m only honest when it comes to Chaeeun ”
Chaeeun’s heart pounded hard
Sung-ho looked at Chaeeun, then started walking again
박성호
“ You know what you asked me earlier ”
정채은
“ Yes ,, ”
박성호
“ You asked why I like Chaeeun ”
정채은
“ Did I ask that? ”
박성호
“ Yes, you’re asking with your expression right now too ”
정채은
“ Puhuh .. hehe so why do you like me? ”
박성호
“ The first time I saw you at the cafe, I thought you were pretty ”
박성호
“ But after seeing you every day, your smile was pretty too, and I liked how kind you are to the customers “
정채은
“ You’re kind to you too, Sung-ho ”
박성호
“ That’s why I liked it even more “
정채은
“ Huh? ”
박성호
“ Even though you knew I was the boss, you treated me just like any other customer ”
정채은
“ You liked that? ”
박성호
“ For the first time, the only person who looks at me for who I am, rather than what I have, is Chaeeun ”
At those words, Chaeeun’s heart raced and she had nothing to say
Sung-ho held out his hand again, and Chaeeun took it first
Sung-ho looked at Chaeeun as if surprised
정채은
“ Why? ”
박성호
“ Because I like it ”
Chaeeun, back home, had her face slightly red from excitement
It had never happened before, so it felt even more embarrassing and awkward
정채은
“ Ah… this is so awkward … “
정채은
“ Did I.. end up liking Sung-ho…? ”
At first, the fact that Sung-ho liked her felt overwhelming
He was someone with a high position as a boss, and the fact that such a person liked her felt burdensome
But now, that feeling wasn’t overwhelming anymore
Rather, she was happy
Chaeeun realized it
She had already started to like Sung-ho little by little
