Eunha still couldn’t believe the fact that there was finally a name written on her chest and the name was definitely unfamiliar for her. She might not even know the person named ‘Kim Sojung’ in the first place. She kept questioning herself if she interacted with a a customer named Sojung yesterday but the only memory that flashes inside her mind was none other than her self acclaimed soulmate, Sowon.

Even if how much bothered she was by the name of her soulmate, her mind couldn’t help but think and reminisce their first interaction. She was in fact, thought that she may be dreaming on how the latter didn’t find her stuttering not clumsiness weird. Instead Sowon even gave her a compliment by implying that Eunha was adorable

To be fairly honest, Eunha thought that Sowon would react as if she was disgusted by her actions — just like how the people she had liked in the past — but she guessed it wrong. The tall girl wasn’t only a beauty but also an angel.

Sowon was the very first person to treat the younger one normally after how much she stuttered or how badly she acted towards a person. Eunha even thought that she made a bad impression towards the girl because of how clumsy she was

But seeing how the latter reacted, she had to reconsider what was the girl’s first impression about her. And she found a glimpse of hope that the older girl might reciprocate her feelings

Despite of her worries about her soulmate and her insecurities, growing old and having a body full wrinkles doesn’t sound that bad if the person whom she would end up together was Sowon.

Just thinking of her future with the gorgeous girl was enough to let a smile creep on her lips. Thinking of how the world would look like if they’re together, holding hands, giving each other’s the warmth and happiness they deserve, waking up every morning to be greeted by a sleeping goddess beside her, and this list could go on forever if Eunha would write down all the possible things that may happen once she ends up with the person she feel for 

Disappointment was an understatement for what Eunha had felt upon reading her soulmate’s name, she was rather devastated because she was expecting the name of Sowon to appear, but it seemed like the odds was against her. A different name appeared

But thankfully, she managed to get a grip of herself. All because of the help of her best friend who made her realize that it wouldn’t be the end of the world if they weren’t destined for each other. So what if they chose to love someone else? It wouldn’t hurt them.

There wasn’t even a rule that soulmates should end up together, in the first place. Nobody said that they could only end up with the person who would be their so called soulmate.

People has always an option. An option to choose who they will end up with and spend their lives until the end of time — an option for them to choose who they will love and give their whole being to

And that was enough to help Eunha make up her mind. Her final decision was that she wouldn’t give up on the Sophrodite girl  and she would be willing to choose the older girl again and again even if she would have to face her insecurities about growing up and looking like an old wrinkly grandma while her best friend or every body around her would have still the same youthful visuals

Jung Eunha was definitely worked up that she would make the latter reciprocate her feelings

Only an hour left before the cafe closes, and it was making Eunha disappointed that Sowon wasn’t appearing or even might not appear for the day.

The small girl bent her body and placed her right elbow on the wooden table while her palm was on her cheeks. She continued to stare blankly ahead on the door and heaved a sigh “I don’t think she would visit the cafe today”

“We still have an hour. Just wait patiently and who knows? She might be running late because of her work?” Yerin who was washing the dirty mugs, comforted her best friend

“Or her next visit might be next week. Since yesterday she appeared after a week she had visited the cafe”

“Stop being a pessimist, Eunha. Just have faith and she’ll appear”

“Have faith and I might see her illusion in front of me” Eunha sarcastically said which made the brunette chuckle

Minutes have passed and only thirty minutes was left on the clock before they close down until and there was still no sign of the gorgeous girl. But of course, being whipped towards Sowon was still hoping that she might once again crash inside the cafe. Eunha knows that the girl appearing at this hour was nearly impossible, but she still wants to see the latter’s ethereal beauty and her million dollar smile

It took another few minutes until the door finally swung open. And Eunha couldn’t hide her huge smile, for the person who entered was non other than the ethereal beauty, Sowon.

The tall girl looked around the cafe before staring ahead towards Eunha’s direction. The younger girl felt herself blushing at the sight of the older girl who was smiling at her as she was walking towards the counter, where Eunha was standing.

Sowon didn’t order yet when she reached the counter, instead she sat at one of the stools in front of it and clasped her hands as she stare at the menu “Can you recommend me your favorite frappe?”

“I-I-I” Eunha stuttered at her very first words, both of her eyes blinking like there was no tomorrow. And that certain action of the younger girl made Sowon giggle at how she finds the girl cute — more than cute, to be frank — she finds the smaller girl attractive. Exactly her type

“Why are you stuttering?” Sowon charmingly said using her husky, seductive tone and muttered “Cute” that only the taller girl could hear

‘Was she flirting at me?’ Eunha thought and it was making her face into bright red. She may not see her face but she knew that she was turning red, for how she could feel the heat rising up and how her ears were flaming as if she was inside an oven

Sowon was staring and grinning at her in amusement. The older girl didn’t know that she, being in front of the Eunha, could affect the smaller girl’s movement “Say, does your face always turns into bright red in front of the customers? Or is it just for me?”

She saw how flustered the younger girl at her statement and somehow, it made her have that victory smile. As if she had successfully flirted with the barista “I’m sorry if I flustered you. I didn’t know you would react like that”

Eunha couldn’t still find a way wherein her nervousness around the latter wouldn’t appear when they are face to face, interacting with each other. In fact, she had many crushes in the past but never have she felt this overwhelmed facing them. She haven’t felt her heart beat rapidly that it may burst at any moment or even feel fireworks on her stomach until she had faced the taller girl. Was this because of how deep she had fallen?

What could possibly be with this girl that it made the adorable bunny feel this way?

“Should I go with green tea, caffe vanilla, or caramel frappe?” Sowon said as she closed the menu that she was holding

The barista stared at the customer for a few seconds before answering “For me personally, I would pick the caramel frappe out of the three that you have mentioned” and this time, the younger girl managed to respond without stuttering. Though her delievery and pronunciation wasn’t as perfect as her normal conversations towards other people

Sowon slowly nodded “I’ll get that please”

Eunha shyly smiled as she nod towards the latter before turning her back to prepare her order.

They were silent for a few minutes until the gorgeous girl decided to break the ice and start up a conversation “Since when have you been a barista here?”

“A year and a half?” Eunha questioned herself, not remembering since she wasn’t the type of person to count nor keep track of the things in her life “Yeah, I guess, a year and a half”

It was an awkward conversation if we were being honest. Sowon doesn’t know how to open a proper topic for she wasn’t a talkative person, she may be popular in her school or even at her work but she was always uncomfortable to be the center attraction of the people around her

The main reason of why the people were getting attracted towards her was of course, the same reason why Eunha got trapped and addicted to her. It was her beauty. She was known as the campus goddess of her university because of the surreal beauty that she possesses

She also had many suitors but she had always turned each of them down. Why? For the reason that she believes that her soulmate will be the right one for her. That instead of rushing into relationships, she would rather wait patiently until the time comes. The time when she would finally encounter her long awaited destined match and she knew that it wouldn’t disappoint her once she meets or even know the name of her soulmate

Instead of searching, she let fate do all the work for her in finding her other half

Call it corny, cheesy, cringey, etc. but she believes that a person shouldn’t be searching for love, and that love will come to you instead. As long as you have the patience and that you believe in love at the right time and fate

“Do you have a boyfriend? Or a girlfriend?” The tall girl thinned her lips as she asked, uncertain if the latter was straight or not and she certainly was feeling hot all of the sudden. She doesn’t know where that courage came from but she hoped that it didn’t ruin the atmosphere, hoped that the barista wouldn’t take her as a ert or anything bad because of her frankness

And on the other hand, Eunha loosened the grip on the caramel syrup she was squeezing and just like Sowon, her face was turning red and trembled for a second. She kept asking herself about what’s the deal with herself and the color red?

Eunha kept mum and decided to finish putting the syrup on the whip of the frappe for she needed herself to return to her normal body color before she could face and answer the girl sitting in front of the counter

“Why are you suddenly asking that? I don’t think we’re close enough for you to know” Was what the younger girl would usually reply to the men or women who have tried flirting with her. But she didn’t reply that for it might seem rude and might seem like she wasn’t interested on the girl. Because she really is interested on the girl.

“I’m single” Eunha timidly said and gave Sowon her caramel frappe 

Sowon sighed in relief and smiled at the latter upon knowing that she wasn’t taken. The tall girl had found this girl interesting and rather cute, the very first time she laid her eyes on her. And yesterday when the girl stuttered and all, she found her clumsiness adorable and damn that smile she has and how she resembles a bunny. Sowon couldn’t help but find herself getting magnetized towards the barista. She definitely would love to know the girl even better

“Glad to hear that” The tall girl whispered but Eunha managed to hear it that it made her blush at the statement of the girl

The taller girl took a sip of her caramel frappe and looked satisfied after she tasted it “It’s delicious, Eunha”

“I’m glad you liked it” The barista answered, relieved that she didn’t mess up for the drink of Sowon

Eunha hoped that the ethereal girl would stay longer. Wanting to be with her even for a few more minutes but then again, the latter noticed the time and stood up from her sit “It appears that the cafe is still opened when it should already be closed” The tall girl pointed at the wall clock which the barista followed her finger

The clock shows that the cafe was supposed to be already closed for the last twenty minutes and Eunha — or even both of them — was too occupied with other that they haven’t noticed the time until the latter decided to look at the time

“Oh right” The smaller girl rubbed the back of her neck “We actually opened the cafe an hour late so I guess we could make up for that one hour business hour that we wasted”

Eunha tried to reason out to make Sowon stay but to only get rejected “No, it’s fine. It’s getting late anyway” The older girl grabbed her frappe and stirred it “Plus you also should go home. It’s dangerous during the night for girls. Specially for a cutie like you” Sowon muttered the last sentence and made sure that she would only be the only one that would be able to hear or understand it

“And i’ll be back again tomorrow” The older girl added and winked at the latter before turning her body and walked towards the exit

Eunha was stunned at witnessing how the taller girl could be flirty and knows at the same time how to capture one’s heart. And that wink and charming smile she gives was making the smaller girl even crazier for the latter

“How was your lovey dovey time towards the customer?” Yerin best friend as soon as the customer had left the cafe. She saw how red and how lovestruck her best friend was towards the girl and it just made this relationship even more interesting

The brunette admits that Sowon was a beauty and could catch everyone’s attention at just the sight of her. She even thought that if she still haven’t found the love of her life, Eunbi, and if her best friend wasn’t attracted to her. She might go and flirt with the tall girl.

“Hey, I’m talking here Miss Whipped” Yerin nudged her frozen best friend who turned her head and glared at the brunette after hearing the nickname

The smaller girl wasn’t fond of the ‘whipped’ word even though she was indeed in that stage towards the gorgeous girl, and just in denial to admit that she was whipped and that made Yerin want to even more. Specially because of how hilarious her reactions were

“Stop with the whipped word, Yerin” Eunha said unamused, her eyebrows knitted together while Yerin just grinned at her

“Stop denying from the fact that you’re whipped towards Sowon” The brunette continued to tease but the latter just rolled her eyes and kept silent. So she decided to change the topic, sensing how her best friend wasn’t liking it “Why did she leave already? And she was smiling so y. I wished that I had the chance to date her”

Eunha raised her eyebrow and stared at her best friend, judgingly and trying to control her temper towards the flirty Yerin. A smirk formed on her lips when she remembered her ace card towards the brunette “Oh really? I could tell Eunbi that you like someone else other than her and that you wished that you had the chance to date Sowon”

Yerin’s eyes widened and cursed at Eunha’s statement. She couldn’t believe the smaller girl would blackmail her just because she said that kind of joke, the tables were definitely turned this time. It was now Eunha who had a teasing smile and she knew that she won this battle between the brunette

“She wouldn’t believe you. I’m her girlfriend so she would believe me more than she would believe you” The brunette stuttered in her words, nervous that Eunha would really tell her girlfriend. She knew how brutal Eunbi can be at times like this and she would always lose towards the younger girl when they have lover’s quarrel

“Oh, shut up. We all know how you got your nickname as the campus player when we were still studying in school. So I doubt that she would choose to listen to you” 

Yerin couldn’t deny that. She had dated countless of girls before Eunbi had arrived in her life, and the fact that she had that name ‘Campus Player’ made it even harder to win her girlfriend’s heart. Specially her trust

“Fine. I lose this time and I won’t joke about flirting with the love of your life. So please just don’t tell her” The brunette was pleading towards her best friend and could even kneel in front of her. Just so that the smaller girl wouldn’t tell anything to her Eunbi

She could already imagine the cold stares and cold treatment of her girlfriend once she finds out. And not only that, Eunbi would ban her from kissing or cuddling with her for god knows how long she would want, and Yerin wouldn’t be able to survive that drought. For all we know, Hwang Eunbi is the life of Jung Yerin and being all sweet with her is everything that makes her feel alive in her daily life

Eunha stared at her blankly for a few seconds before bursting into a laughter. She had always loved the sight of her best friend being all panicky when she knew that she did something wrong to make her girlfriend mad.

The smaller girl patted her best friend’s head and smiled, mockingly “Did you really think I would tell her that? I’m not that low to tear the both of you apart”

Yerin had opened at what Eunha had said and it it didn’t took any longer before she felt the heart rise towards her head. While Eunha had just walked past her with a victory smile

“You should’ve seen how you looked like when you were begging for me to not speak any word” The smaller girl shouted from afar which made the brunette’s face twitch from how unbelievably cruel her best friend was

The girl with an ethereal beauty, Sowon, kept her word that she would visit the cafe the next day. Not only that, her, visiting the cafe and talking (well actually flirting) towards Eunha looked like as if it had become her daily routine, for she had been visiting the place daily

She would always look around the cafe, trying to find a glimpse of the smaller girl. Once she finds her, her face would lit up and pull of her million dollar smile towards Eunha who was always at the cashier.

Little did Sowon know that the smaller girl had became like that — working diligently — just because of her presence. To speak the truth, Eunha wasn’t the type to be all that productive and her co-worker slash best friend knew that. So Yerin was surprised when she saw how her best friend had the will to work and had this smile everyday she comes to work

Today was the thirteenth day that the gorgeous girl had visited the cafe and she was unusually quite which made the latter frown at how she couldn’t see the smile not hear the sweet voice of the tall girl

“Why are you so quiet?” Eunha finally asked Sowon who was sitting in front of her, stirring her cup of latte. The tall girl sighed before lifting her head up and smiling towards the barista

“I don’t know” Sowon shrugged which confused the latter “I was just wondering why I haven’t seen you having your break? I mean had been coming here in different times, everyday, yet I would always see you standing at the counter area or brewing coffees”

Eunha thinned her lips and looked down. For all she know, she was doing that so that Sowon would easily see her and she could welcome and be the first person which the tall girl would talk to as soon as she enters the cafe. She wasn’t fond of thinking that someone else might be the one to accompany the latter

The smaller had this annoyed feeling as if she would be able to punch the person who will take her place as Sowon’s company. It took her a while before she realized that she was getting possessive at something she doesn’t own, and she doesn’t mind t all. Her, being possessive towards Sowon, as if she was already hers

“I don’t know either? My co-worker, Yerin, was busy in the past days so I haven’t got that much time to take a break” The barista lied and it was a relief that somehow, the latter seemed to have bought it.

“Why did you suddenly ask?” She added. While Sowon was fidgeting her hands and making her eyes travel inside the room, except for Eunha’s.

There was a moment of silence because Sowon was contemplating to say what’s on her mind or not. For she doesn’t want to ruin the bond she had made towards the barista

“I was thinking...” The tall girl but her lower lip while rubbing her neck before continuing “Would you like to hang out with me when you have a free time or break from work?”

Eunha was taken aback by the sudden question. She was thinking if she was being asked out, like a date, by her dream girl but she couldn’t hide the fact that even if it was a date, it may just be a friendly date. Not the romantic way. Because of course why would it be the romantic way? They were not even dating each other in the first place

“Like a date” Sowon added which made the barista’s heart skip a beat. She could feel the butterflies in her stomach and she kept asking herself if she heard her right or was just imagining things because of how lovestruck she was

Seeing how the smaller girl wasn’t reacting, Sowon was was sure that she would get rejected when she haven’t even told the girl, and that made her let out a bitter smile “It’s okay. You don’t have to agree when you don’t want to”

Upon hearing that, Eunha snapped out of her thoughts and realized what just happened. That she wasn’t hearing nor imagining things. She was really asked by Sowon to go on a date with her, and that enough made the the smaller girl have a huge smile on her face

“Why would you say that when you haven’t even heard my answer?” Eunha cutely complained and pouted towards Sowon who was blushing at the adorable girl

“What do you mean?” The taller girl stuttered and it was the first time Eunha witnessed the perfect girl act so shy in front of her. It was as if she had already caught and trapped Sowon’s heart

The barista flashed a smile and said “I’m free tomorrow at around two in the afternoon”

The latter’s eyes enlarged at the statement and had a smile that could reach up to her ears. The tall girl couldn’t help but punch the air inside her mind — she couldn’t do it in reality because she might scare Eunha

“I’ll pick you up tomorrow then?” Sowon said enthusiastically and couldn’t hide how pumped she was feeling for their date tomorrow

Eunha was done changing clothes and was ready to go on a date with her dream girl. She couldn’t stop herself from smiling nor stop her heart from beating as if it would explode at any minute

“Yerin, I’ll be out for a while” The smaller girl told the brunette, who obviously knows what was going on even if her best friend doesn’t tell the reason on why she was going out of work

“Obviously, you are” Yerin flashed a smile and took a step closer to Eunha “And good luck with your date with your soulmate” the brunette continued as she fix Eunha’s hair

“I won’t ruin this date. So stop teasing me about it, though I would need that good luck. Just in case”

Nervous was an understatement from what Eunha’s currently feeling. Just the thought of her having a date with the person she likes was making her excited and anxious, for anything can happen during or after the date with the latter

“Let’s just hope that you really won’t” Yerin teased, which made her earn a slap on the shoulder from the smaller girl

“I was joking” Yerin hissed as she rub the part where she got hit, but she stopped and acted as if she was all fine when the bells started chiming.

Both of them turned their head towards the door, and there, the girl which had made Eunha fall was entering, giving Eunha her charming smile. As the gorgeous girl saw that the barista was talking to a friend of hers, she gestured that she would be sitting as she wait for the baristas to finish their business with each other

The barista was staring towards Sowon, with a smile plastered on her face. She was about to turn her head to Yerin until she felt hot breaths near her “Seems like your date is here” The brunette backed away from her best friend’s ear and placed her hand onto the back of Eunha, planning to push her out of the counter

“Have fun, Jung Eunbi” The brunette enthusiastically cheered and pushed Eunha who stumbled for a quick second because of the force of Yerin’s hand

The short girl turned around to the brunette, a smirk planted on the smaller girl’s face  “I will. And are you sure you’ll be fine without a company during work?”

“I will be fine” The brunette scoffs and added “Plus my Eunbi will be here in any minute now” Yerin emphasized the ‘my’ word and wore her confident smile

The drive towards their destination was utterly quiet. Sowon had her eyes only on the road, though she took quick glances on the latter who was looking at the buildings, cars, intersections, people, advertisements that they were passing by

Eunha had no idea where Sowon was trying to take her, and even if she was dead curious about their destination, she’d rather not ask where it is.

She wanted it to be a surprise rather than knowing the answer

But the drive was rather taking too long that Eunha felt her eyes getting heavier and heavier until the drowsiness took over her, her eyes slowly shutting down

“Eunha, we’re here” Sowon softly said towards the sleeping beauty in front of her. But the shorter girl seemed to still be in her dreamland and she could get used to this kind of view for a few more minutes — or even forever.

Staring at a sleeping beauty was definitely something where Sowon, herself, could sign up for. Specially if the girl was none other than her bunny, Eunha.

You read that right. Her bunny. She gave that nickname towards the girl ever since that day they had talked and all she could think of was that how the smaller girl resembles so much to a bunny. A bunny whom you would want to make happy and protect at all cost

A girl like her doesn’t deserve to get hurt nor to be kept waiting. She thought.

After almost ten minutes, the smaller girl finally started moving and yawned as soon as she opened her eyes. Eunha stretched her arms and turned her head to her side, only to be greeted by Sowon who was staring endearingly, with a sweet smile on her face that made her eyes curve. 

With that, Eunha felt hot and turned i to different shades of red. Slowly turning her head away out of embarrassment. Because who wouldn’t be embarrassed with that? A goddess watching you sleep — maybe even watching you snore or even salivas dripping from your mouth — but thank god that she wasn’t that kind of sleeper. Or else it might’ve turned the taller girl off.

“Are you ready to head out, princess?” Eunha snapped out of her thoughts when she heard her door open. And there was Sowon waiting for her, reaching out her hand for the smaller girl to hold

The barista blinked a few times at the sight of Sowon’s hand and thought ‘Did she just call me princess or am I still inside my dreamland?’.

She couldn’t believe what was happening until she felt a soft hand pull her out of the girl. Not only that, the latter had intertwined their hands together as soon as Eunha got out of the car, and that wasn’t helping at all. She even felt even hotter by the fact that she was holding Sowon’s soft hand

The smaller girl had only dreamt and imagine this in the past but now. It was happening all of a sudden. Just like a dream that came true

“W-why are you holding my hand?” The barista stuttered and stared at their interlocked hands. While on the other hand, the taller girl followed Eunha’s gaze and gave a questioning expression

“This was a date so I thought...” Sowon trailed off before realizing that she may have had gone too far for a date, and that maybe the smaller girl just considers this a date between friends. Nothing more, nothing less.

A quick “ah” left the model-like girl’s mouth before nodding slowly and shyly asked “Should I let go of your hand?”

“No! Don’t!” Eunha shouted with her enlarged eyes and made the latter flinch by the action. They had a staring battle for a few seconds until the smaller girl broke away from the charming eyes of the latter.

The barista swallowed hard before blurting out “I mean, I was just asking you” she looked down on the ground and played the stone near her feet “Holding hands doesn’t seem so bad, because after all, this is a date”

A smile of relief appeared on Sowon’s face as she heard the barista’s statement. And that maybe she was relief because she didn’t commit the wrong move that could be the cause of their relationship to be ruined

“Okay then” The tall girl softly said and tightened her hold onto the latter’s hand.

Eunha followed along, her head staring on the ground — trying to hide her reddened cheek. It wasn’t that long until they came to a stop

“We’re here” Sowon said as she stare towards the vast blue skies

Eunha raised her head up and saw that they were at an abandoned playground. It wasn’t what she had expected, to speak the truth. She thought why would Sowon bring her to a playground? Not that she was disappointed or anything. Just what was the tall girl have in mind that she brought the smaller girl here?

Sowon pulled the barista towards the swing and dusted them off before sitting on it. While the younger one was confused on wether to sit down or not, Sowon patted the swing beside her, telling her to sit beside her.

And so she did while the latter just looked up and clasped both of her hands

“You’re probably disappointed that I’ve brought you to an abandoned park, aren’t you?” The tall girl was trying not to sound nervous but there was still a hint of anxiousness in her voice

The barista kept silent because she saw or rather, sensed that the latter wasn’t still done with her speech so she just stared at Sowon. Endearingly stared at her.

“This was the place where I learned the things how soulmates work and what they are. And how and why I started believing in the soulmate thing”

Eunha knitted her eyebrows, wondering why the latter was suddenly talking about soulmates. She was wondering what could be the sudden reason of this topic to come out. Slowly she was becoming nervous and worried that what if the latter would reveal that she had found her soulmate? What if she was saying this because she didn’t want anyone in her life except for her soulmate? What if this would be the end of everything? — everything about them, specially for Eunha’s feelings.

Would she get turned down even before she could confess towards the gorgeous girl?

“Do you believe in people being soulmates? Do you believe in fate?” Sowon said, still looking at the vast blue sky that was above them

Sowon closed her eyes and there was a moment of silence until she stares at Eunha — a stare that was melting the smaller girl — and the tall girl flashed a warm smile as she said “Because I do”

“I do, because I already found my soulmate and I think I fell for her. Too deep that I couldn’t climb back up to the top” The tall girl added and pushed her feet on the ground for her swing to sway and a screech was made by the swing.

Sowon averted her gaze from the barista, staring at nowhere with her smile still plastered on her face.

Eunha couldn’t help but feel her heart clutching and it was getting harder to breath. It was as if the oxygen was vanishing. Because she knew that she wasn’t the soulmate of the latter and she knew that the latter wasn’t her soulmate. Because after all, the name inscribed on her chest was ‘Kim Sojung’ and not ‘Sowon’

“Why are you suddenly telling me this?” Eunha managed to say without cracking her voice for she could feel that she could and would break down at any moment

It was too painful to see or even hear that the person you’ve fallen since day one had finally found her other half and that she had already fallen for that soulmate of hers. And what’s worse is that she doesn’t have the right to be jealous and that she haven’t even told the latter her true feelings

‘It’s game over now’ Eunha thought as if she was losing all the hope that she could find until she heard the reply of the tall girl that made her even more confused

“Because I wanted you to know. This was my way of confessing” Sowon shyly said and bit down her bottom lip

Eunha squinted her eyes at the vague statement. ‘Way of confessing? What does she mean by way of confessing?’

“What do you mean?”

“Jung Eunha isn’t really your birth name. Right?” Sowon asked — though it didn’t sound like one because it was inevitable that she was confident by her words

“What if it’s not? What difference does it make. We’re not even soulmates” Eunha replied but the last sentence was kept inside her head

On the other hand, Sowon had this mischievous smile. As if she was playing around or knew something important that the latter doesn’t know

“Jung Eunbi” Sowon mumbled but clear enough for the barista to hear “Jung Eunbi is your real name”

Eunha widened her eyes upon hearing the tall girl. How could she know her real name when she, herself, didn’t even tell her that? Not even her name tag states her real name

She wanted to say something but she failed to say or whisper anything because of how taken aback she was. The next statement of the tall girl even made her speechless, as if she had lost the ability to speak

“And the name written on your chest is...” Sowon paused and reached out for Eunha’s hand and interlocked them “The name is Kim Sojung. Am I right?” Sowon smiled widely towards the girl and drew circles at the back of Eunha’s hand using her thumb

The barista was at lost. Many questions were running through her mind, such as how did the girl beside her knew the name of her soulmate? For her real name, she could understand that maybe she heard Yerin a while ago when she used Eunha’s birth name. But the soulmate? It was just unbelievable. How could the latter know that?

“How do you know that? I haven’t told anyone except Yerin” The barista’s voice grew quiet upon realizing that her best friend may have told Sowon about the name of her soulmate

“Did she tell you?” Eunha almost shouted but managed to keep calm.

Sowon — or should I say Sojung shook her head hastily and leaned closer the smaller girl and smirked “I haven’t introduced myself properly, haven’t I?”

The tall girl was right. She hadn’t introduced herself properly towards the barista nor did the barista introduced herself. They just knew their names because of a certain circumstance inside the cafe. Sowon needed to give any name as a customer while Eunha wore a nametag that wasn’t even her real name to start with

So of course, how would they know if they were soulmates or not? None of them gave nor used their birth name in the first place

“Let me introduce myself properly to my soulmate” Sowon stood up from the swing. The barista was still clueless as ever and didn’t have the hint or anything the latter was trying to convey

“Kim Sojung” The taller girl flashed a smile and reached out her hand for a handshake and by the looks of it, Eunha doesn’t seem like she would be budging from her sit. In the end, Sowon retracted her hand

“I get that your confused Miss Eunbi. But is this the way you should be treating your other half?” Sowon — Sojung whined and pouted. Trying her very best to act cute in front of her bunny

Eunha was blankly staring at her. Still trying to process or identify what was happening here (she could be hella slow at some point). Until she had finally realized and snapped. hanging and her eyes enlarged — like really big enough to pop her eyeballs out of her eyes

“You’re Kim Sojung? The Kim Sojung? My soulmate?” Eunha shouted and stood up from her sit. While Sowon was grinning as she nod and open up her arms for the barista to hug her — well apparently not only had she have her arms open, she was also pouting her lips, as if she was waiting for a romantic kiss to happen

But of course the odds were against her. She received a nonstop slap on her arm and deadly glares from Eunha. Oh well, she does deserve that for keeping her identity towards her soulmate

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Eunha slapped the latter arms once again which made Sowon wince in pain. The barista’s eyes softens at the sight of her soulmate being in pain “Are you okay?”

Sowon stopped wincing in pain and turned to the latter with a mischievous smile “I would feel better if you give me a kiss” The tall girl then pouted and closed her eyes, while Eunha doesn’t seemed to be amused even a bit

The barista raised her eyebrow and smirk at the sudden idea that popped out in her mind. She wrapped both of her arms on the neck of Sowon which made the tall girl grin and closed her eyes as Eunha was slowly leaning closer. Then again, she received something she didn’t expect. A flick on her forehead

“Ouch. What was that for?” Sowon complained at her soulmate “Why did I do to have a violent soulma—“ The tall girl cut off by the sudden pull of her collar and a soft lips was soon crashing on hers leaving her shocked.

The kiss was only for a brief moment but it was sweet and tender, it wasn’t the same as what movies not books had stated about kissing your other half. It was more than that. The feeling was stronger and it felt as if both of them had the world on their hands, fireworks could be felt inside them, it was just so surreal.

Eunha broke the kiss, her arms still holding the taller girl’s collar “You know, I don’t know why I fell for a scammer like you”

“What do you mean scammer?” The tall girl complained, but her arms managed to snake through Eunha’s waist and pulled her closer

“Scammer is the right word for fooling me that you weren’t my soulmate. And I couldn’t help but ask why I fell for a scammer” Eunha giggled and wrapped both of her arms around the latter’s neck

“But you gotta admit that you love this scammer in front of you” Sowon flashed a smile and pressed her forehead onto Eunha’s and started swaying their body

“Unfortunately, yes I do love that scammer”

The new couple entered the cafe with holding hands. They were greeted with the older couple, Yerin and Sinb, who welcomed them like there was no tomorrow. Thankfully, there weren’t any customers at the moment or else it could’ve been so embarrassing for both sides

“Look who’s here” Yerin stood up from their table and added “Jung Eunbi and Kim Sojung”

Eunha’s face turned grim upon Yerin’s statement. And it seems like the brunette forgot to tell something to her best friend, her girlfriend stood up from her sit and went to Yerin’s side

“Why did you say that?” Sinb whispered and pinched her girlfriend’s side

“Ouch! What do you mean? I didn’t say anything wro—“ The brunette stopped her words and cursed at the sudden realization that she may get and may have been already in trouble. For Eunha and definitely for her beloved girlfriend

The brunette laughed nervously as she hid behind her girlfriend who gave her the ‘what the heck’ look with a matching glare. “Please save me, Eunbi” The brunette whispered to her girlfriend’s ear who only reply “Oh shut up. We’re both in trouble because of you”

The SinRin couple were communicating using their eyes. Sinb was giving the brunette the ‘If we get in trouble, I’ll kill you’ look while the brunette was trying to convey ‘I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I can’t live without you’ expression

Eunha unclasped her hand from Sowon’s hold and walked towards the couple. They swear that Eunha was rather walking creepily and slowly or was it their minds that were playing with her? The fact that they were caught because of the brunette scared them — well only Yerin was scared enough because of her girlfriend and her best friend who gets violent at times.

“So... you knew?” Eunha crossed her arms and raised her eyebrow towards her best friend who got pushed away by her own girlfriend who whispered loud enough for all of them to hear “Stop hiding behind my back. You’re the one who caused this to happen, idiot”

The brunette started whistling and darted her eyes everywhere except to her best friend’s who had the eyes that could kill a person

“I’m asking something, Jung Yerin” The smaller girl said sternly and made the brunette flinch at her spot

“Well” Yerin trailed off and stared at Sowon who was at a few steps away from her bunny. The brunette was asking — pleading for help using her eyes but the tall girl just had a sly smile, as if she was enjoying this

“Jung. Ye. Rin” Eunha pronounced every syllable as stern and hard as she could and Yerin knew that she was in trouble

Without any hint of help, she knew she had to tell the truth and get in trouble. The brunette was about to explain herself until her best friend’s soulmate s her right arm on Eunha’s waist and saved her from the trouble

“Eunbi’s my childhood friend and I told her all about this and the name inscribed on on my chest. And fortunately, she knew who Jung Eunbi was” The tall girl leaned towards her bunny’s ear and whispered “So she must’ve told her girlfriend about it”

Eunha’s eyes went wide open and stared at Sinb then Yerin, vice versa. Until she stops at her best friend and asked “Since when did you know?”

The brunette looked at Sowon who gave her an assuring smile and that she’ll take care of it if things goes out of hand. Yerin sighed and scratched her head and replied with uncertainty “A few days ago?”

“So it was like you ganged up on me about this soulmate thing?” Eunha scoffed and pointed at herself before pouting “I can’t believe that the people around me were a scammer”

“Well at least you won’t grow old alone and you won’t be a wrinkly grandma” Sinb stepped forward with a mischievous grin that made Eunha’s face twitch

“Not only that, you’re soulmate is me” Sowon teased before stealing a kiss from her bunny which made Eunha turn into fifty shades of red

“Why did you do that in front of them?” Eunha complained, almost whining.

“What’s wrong? I could’ve done more if the two of us were all alone” Sowon winked at her reddened bunny, leaving the latter speechless
