“Do you think I will still be able to find or meet my soulmate?” The bobbed cut haired girl asked her best friend who was busy preparing an iced americano for one of their customers

“What? Of course you will. You’re only 21, Eunha” Said her brunette best friend who turned around with a smile on her face, holding the cup of iced americano on her right hand

The thing is, the reason why the bobbed hair girl named Eunha asked the question so warily was because people usually finds their destined one at a young age. Being twenty one is still a young age but the fact that not finding and meeting their soulmate after they graduate from university can cause those whom haven’t their pair to be anxious.

At certain point, some of the people who haven’t found their pair, ends up growing and leaving this world as single—not being able to find their ‘the one’

“I don’t want to grow old alone while you and your Sinb are still staying the same age. Like it’ll be so weird seeing you stop aging while I, on the other hand, have wrinkles on my body and looking like a grandma” Eunha pouted and covered both of her cheeks using her hands.

The latter could only laugh at the sight of her grumpy best friend “I know you two would be able to meet each other” Yerin ruffled Eunha’s hair, making the younger girl whine and glare at her for ruining her hair

“You’ll meet her at the most unexpected time. Just like how Sinb and I met during our university days” The brunette girl assuring her worried best friend before she excused herself, who needed to serve the coffee towards the customer

“Miss Sophrodite, your iced americano is now ready to be served” Said Yerin who was at the counter, waiting for the customer to take her order. And on the other hand, the nickname of the customer caught Eunha’s attention who was having her break, she boringly turned her head towards the counter to wait for the identity of the so-called ‘Sophrodite’

It took a almost a minute before the model like customer appeared to get her drink. She has a slim figure, her hair was black and the bottom half was purple in color, hazel orbs that would definitely make any person who have any eye contact with her get lost on the beautiful and mysterious eyes of her, long pointy nose, and the part which Eunha stared at the longest. Her pinkish plump lips which Eunha thought that whomever would be able to kiss or feel that lips of hers... would probably be the luckiest person to be alive

Once the tall girl smiled at Yerin as she get her coffee made Eunha wished that she was the one who should be the person in front of the girl, receiving her warm smile and hearing her voice. Even if the words that she would hear were only gonna be ‘thank you’

It may only be a simple sentence but Eunha couldn’t help but to ask herself if she would feel the butterflies in her stomach once she hears her voice or even touch her. She also couldn’t help but wish and hope that the girl would be single like her. Because who knows? They might be the destined person for each other

As the model like girl walked away from the counter, holding her cup of iced americano, Eunha couldn’t help but follow the girl’s direction. The girl opened her laptop and started typing and Eunha swears that the more she stares at the girl, the more she gets pulled by her charm. It felt like it was love at first sight

Everything Eunha was currently feeling was so new and weird. Like she could feel her heart suddenly started beating so fast at the sight of the girl. Butterflies were slowly tickling her stomach. And she of course felt and hoped that the girl would be at least her soulmate

It wasn’t new to Eunha to hope that a certain someone would be her other half. For she had assumed so many times about this matter during her school life. Hoping that she would meet her soulmate as soon as possible

The imagination of Eunha got disturbed by the weirded out Yerin “You look like a freak staring at her long time one sided crush”

“What?” Eunha endearingly said towards her best friend without removing her gaze towards the girl sitting on the window side, typing on her laptop

Yerin squinted her eyes and smirked “Do you like the Sophrodite customer?”

But to her surprise, Eunha just hummed and nodded her head as a response. Making the older girl gape “Let me guess, you’re probably hoping that she’s your other half. Aren’t you”

“What’s wrong with that?” Eunha said as she pout. She didn’t defend nor lied about the fact that she was indeed hoping that the girl would be her soulmate

“Nothing” Yerin said timidly as she shifted her gaze towards the customer before darting back to the smaller girl who was now stretching her arms up in the air “Why don’t you try talking to her?”

Approaching her is the last thing the younger girl had wanted to do at the very moment. She’s afraid that she might give the latter a bad impression and that of course, is enough to get a girl turned off by someone

“I’ll get back to work now, Jung” The latter said as she tapped the shoulder of the brunette

But of course, Eunha was too distracted on her duty because of the Sophrodite customer who had been sitting and doing her work for almost four hours now. She kept giving this smile that indicates that she had already fallen in love with the girl—too deep that she couldn’t climb back up to the top. In cartoons, her eyes would have the hearts, often called as the ‘heart eyes’

If Yerin wasn’t her friend, she would have already reported the younger one for having the creepy face towards the stranger. As if she had an ulterior motive towards the girl

“You know you should stop staring at her like that before she notices you” Yerin nudged the latter who flinched by the sudden action “And close your mouth. A fly might enter your mouth. You don’t want her to see you looking like you’re about to die because of a fly”

Eunha slowly turned her head with a ‘what the heck?’ expression which her best friend only shrugged and added “What? You don’t want her first impression towards you to be horrible”

The younger girl was about to defend herself until they heard a chair screech and to only see the model like woman to already have fixed her things up and was already walking towards the door of the cafe

“And there goes your ‘the one’” Yerin dramatically said, obvious that she was intending to tease or even piss the her best friend who managed to give her a light punch on the stomach

“Ouch. What was that for?”

“Just a small payback for teasing me” Said her best friend who had a huge grin on her face. “Eh?” Muttered Yerin while tilting her head

The next few days, Eunha waited for the girl who had an ethereal beauty to visit the cafe. She even didn’t move from het position at the counter area, too afraid that the girl might suddenly appear when she’s not the one on duty as the cashier personnel

“You’re so whipped towards Miss Sophrodite” Yerin said as she entered the counter area, yawning and stretching her arms up in the air

“I’m not whipped. I just like her”

“Oh please. When you hear the the bells chiming, your face always lights up but immediately turns into a frown when it wasn’t her who’s not entering” Yerin said as she wore the apron and tied it on her waist

“Just go back to your Sinb and stop pestering me about my love life” Eunha groaned which made the brunette chuckle and say “Another win for the great Jung Yerin”

The smaller girl didn’t protest but only covered her ears and muttered words so that her best friend’s voice would be blocked from her ears

The day had passed and once again, the girl whom Eunha was waiting for didn’t appear. It was evident that the small girl was disappointed that she didn’t see nor had been able to talk to her dream girl

“Don’t be so down, Jung Eunha. There’s still tomorrow” Said the brunette who was smiling while staring on her phone, probably talking with the love of her life, Hwang Eunbi

She could only roll her eyes and groan at the sight of her best friend “Yeah right. You make it sound so easy to hope that she would appear in the day”

“Are you already giving up on your self acclaimed soulmate of yours?”

“No”

“Then stop complaining. Patience is a virtue, you know”

Exactly one week have passed and it was raining pretty hard outside the cafe. Eunha could only sigh at the thought that she wouldn’t appear again. That the girl might have only found the cafe by accident or just visited it to finish her work.

The once positive thoughts of the short girl was slowly turning negative

“Yerin, take my pla—“ She didn’t manage to finish her sentence because the door was suddenly slammed opened along with the loud ringing of the bells

Eunha was definitely sure that she would be needing to reprimand the person even if she or he was a customer for disturbing the whole place.

She was sure of doing it until she turned around and saw who the person was. It was the same girl whom she was waiting for the whole week to appear again. The same girl whom she never got tired of staring at the whole four hours the last time she was here

But this time, the tall girl was drenched from the heavy rain outside. But even so, her beauty was still mesmerizing as ever and she once again pulled the younger girl into a trance 

“Uhm. Miss?” Upon hearing the soft yet husky voice of the girl in front of her, she was pulled out of her thoughts. And to her surprise, the girl was already standing right in front of her. Rubbing both of her hands to warm herself up

“Oh. Right” Eunha mumbled and pulled off her famous smile “What would you like to order?”

“One large latte please” The younger girl nodded and typed her order on the machine. She swears that she might’ve fallen even more after hearing the latter’s voice. She didn’t think that hearing someone’s voice can become a music to her ears until she heard the voice of the girl standing in front of her

She took a large sized cup and a black marker to ask the customer’s name. She knew what to write if she was being honest. It would none other be ‘Sophrodite’ because she was there when this girl visited and she has Yerin who would tell her stuffs she needed to know

But surprisingly, the girl gave another name “Sowon. You can put my name as Sowon” The latter nodded as if she wasn’t surprised nor curious why she suddenly have given her another name. 

“Is Sowon her real name or just another nickname like ‘Sophrodite’?” She wanted to asked but kept silent instead

“Okay. Miss Sowon, we’ll finish making your order as soon as possble. For now, please find somewhere to seat and please kindly wait for your name to be called” Sowon nodded and gave her a genuine smile before turning her head around to find a place to sit

Eunha turned around and pulled up her sleeves to start making the order, but of course a little teasing from Yerin wouldn’t hurt “You’re making it?” The smaller girl nodded and started taking out the ingredients “What kind of miracle food did you eat that you’re actually willing to do the barista work?”

“Shouldn’t you be happy that I’m not slacking off from work?” Eunha said with a huge grin planted on her face and it got her best friend to knit her eyebrows. Because what or who could possibly be the reason for her best friend to act this way?

Unless... that girl which she had been so whipped for the past days has finally appeared. So she leaned outside the counter table and her eyes traveled around the place until a smirk formed on her face.

“So she’s here?” Yerin whispered teasingly to her best friend’s ear “And not only that, she’s also wet”

Upon hearing the last word said by the brunette, Eunha’s face suddenly turned into fifty shades of red which made the latter burst into tears of laughter

The younger girl, herself, couldn’t help but feel the heat running up towards her head as if she was embarrassed (more like gave the word ‘wet’ a dirty meaning). She wasn’t the type who would easily turns red upon hearing such words because she was already used to her best friend’s dirty jokes, but she didn’t know that she would be this affected if the topic was het self acclaimed soulmate

Was she really whipped towards the girl? Would she finally admit that what her best friend told her about her feelings for Sowon should not be ‘like’ but instead ‘whipped’?

“You should’ve seen how red you were” Yerin said in between her laughters, tears forming in her eyes. The smaller girl gave her the deadliest glare she could give towards her best friend who remained unfazed by her reaction until she got punched. Really hard, on her side that made her groan in pain

“I was just joking. I didn’t know you would think something dirty by my choice of word. I thought you were already used to my jokes” Yerin complained as she rub the part where her best friend punched her

Eunha didn’t respond to the brunette for she might just only say something that would end up digging up her own grave. Because we all know how Yerin could annoy her best friend once she starts teasing her, specially now that the girl she likes is patiently waiting for her name to be called by the barista.

One thing the two best friends noticed about the girl, was that she kept rubbing both of her hands together and her body was shivering because of the cold. Not only it was cold, her outfit was drenched in rain and that enough can cause her to catch a cold or even a flu

“Why don’t you serve her coffee and give her this” Yerin held up a blue blanket “And maybe get to know her. Who knows? Her name might appear on your chest”

Eunha stared at the blanket the brunette was holding, thinking if she should do it or not. After all, she doesn’t want to give the latter a first bad impression because it would surely be a huge impact towards how the girl would think about her

She doesn’t have the confidence to come up and talk to Sowon first for all she know, she had always stutter and appeared as a clumsy girl towards the persons she had liked in the past. And remembering that wasn’t a good sign for her

“I don’t think I should be doing that. She might think I’m deliberately hitting on her with that blanket” Eunha shook her head and placed the finished brewed coffee on the plate.

She was about to call out the customer’s name until she felt a soft hand’s grip on her wrist. There Yerin was giving her an assuring smile that everything will be gonna be just fine and that no matter what happens, her best friend took the effort to approach the girl she had liked since day one

“No. Even if you give me that look, I wouldn’t do it. I don’t want to get humiliated in front of her” The smaller whispered to herself but loud enough for the brunette to hear her

“Eunha, even if you stutter or do something clumsy, I bet she’ll find it cute rather than finding you weird”

“Tell that to those who started avoiding me because of our first meeting which turned into a disaster” Eunha frowned at her own sentence which made the brunette sigh in defeat

“Well those guys were jerks for not giving such a cute bunny a chance” Yerin said as she pinched the cheeks of Eunha who just weakly smiled at the interaction “Just tell her that it’s our service to give our customer’s the comfort and quality time that they deserve inside the cafe”

“Fine. But I’ll blame you if this turns out to be a disaster” Eunha chuckled as she grabbed the blanket from Yerin’s hand “And if that really happens, you owe me a month long lunch”
