60 Seconds is Enough for This Story"Lee Soomin. Get this order to table 7" one of her co-workers said
"Yeah!" Soomin went to get the tray, while carrying it she took careful steps, *Please don't slip! I can't show my clumsy side in work* She thought and her grin on the tray was so strong that her knuckles turned white
"Here is your order, enjoy" Soomin said with her genuine smile
The customer smiled back, "Thank you"
Soomin bowed and went to the counter. Her boss noticed how hospitable she was.
"Lee Soomin" Her boss called
"Yes?" She looked up, "Calling me sir?"
"You know how to make our best selling Mocha?" her boss asked
"Yup. I studied the recipe all night" She stated
"Table 4 has an order of Mocha. Surprise me" her boss smiled and patted her back
Soomin bowed and went to the counter, *Ok, the ingredients have chocolate sprinkles, cinnamon, and honey instead of sugar* She thought and began making the perfect coffee. After putting all the ingredients, Soomin made her signature look on the coffee with a double heart, *Pretty* she thought and delivered the coffee to table 4.
"Enjoy" Soomin smiled at the customer
"Waaa~ So pretty" the customer said when she saw the coffee, "You made this?" She asked
Soomin nodded
"Cute!" The customer said as she took a sip of the coffee. After one sip, a smile was still on her face, meaning the taste was nice too.
Soomin's boss was watching with a smile
Soomin bowed at that customer and went to the counter. one of her co-workers went up to her, "You're really off to a good start. I'm Kim Hana. Nice to meet you" She held out her hand
Soomin smiled, "I'm Lee Soomin. Nice to meet you" With that the two of them shook hands
"It looks like you really good at mixing coffee" Hana said
"I kinda make coffee back at my place for my brothers and cousin" Soomin scratched her head
"What else can you make?" Hana asked
"I can do almost all the coffee in this menu, except the ice coffee. I'm not good with cold things" Soomin said
"Ah. Ice coffee is my specialty. We're a perfect match. You do hot coffee, I do ice" Hana winked
"Hana! Table 2 ordered an Ice coffee, vanilla flavored" one employee said as he passed by
"Ara" Hana smiled at you, "Watch and be amazed" She said and began making the ice coffee
Soomin watched with awe, "Nice"
"Soomin! Come over here! I'll show you something" Her boss called her inside the kitchen
"Coming!" Soomin said and went inside

A car stopped infront of the coffee shop. A figure stepped out of the car and looked at the shop up and down, he lowered his shades to get a more clearer look of the place, "This is the coffee shop where we will meet Director Choi?" Sunggyu asked
"Yeah. It may be small, but their coffee taste much more delicious that Starbuck. Go inside and order what you want, I'll go park the car" His manager said
Sunggyu shrugged and took off his shades and went inside, it was a bit small. He sat down at the empty table near the window and scanned the menu
His manager came in and sat next to him, "Did you find anything you like?" He asked
Sunggyu shook his head, "I'll just have some blueberry waffles. I don't feel like drinking coffee today"
"Araso. One blueberry waffles and a chocolate ice coffee" Sunggyu's manager told the waiter who just came by
"Oh! That's director Choi" Sunggyu's manager pointed. Sunggyu and his manager stood up and greeted thedirector
"Do you like anything here?" Sunggyu's manager asked
"It's ok, I have somewhere to go after this. So I'll be finishing this as soon as possible" the director said and opened his bag, he got some papers and handed them to Sunggyu, "That's your script in the upcoming movie I'm directing. I'm so glad you accepted this role. I'm looking forward to working with you. So, can you read the script and tell me what do you think of it"
Sunggyu read the script, he finished before the order arrived
“Well? How do you find it?” The director asked
“It’s ok, but I have to ask…” Sunggyu looked at the director, “No kissing scene?”
Sunggyu’s manager elbowed Sunggyu, but Sunggyu just ignored it
The director laughed, “Are you saying it may be a nicer if we put a kissing scene there? Won’t the leading lady get some antis when your fans sees you having a kissing scene there?”
“It’s just acting” Sunggyu laughed
Sunggyu manager just rolled his eyes and just listened
-
“Soomin, do you see that guy over there” Hana pulled Soomin when she got out of the kitchen
Soomin looked at the guy with red hair, “Who is it?” She asked
“That’s Kim Sunggyu the singer of Woolim entertainment!” Hana squealed
“That’s a celebrity?” Soomin asked
“Yup. I’m a fan of his. I’m going to ask for an autograph later. I think he ordered the waffle” Hana said
Soomin smiled, “Good luck” She said and was about to take table 5’s order, when Hana pulled her, “Where do you think you’re going?” She asked
Soomin blinked, “Getting table 5’s order”
“No. You’re going to serve their order while I ask for an autograph” Hana said
“Why don’t you just serve?” Soomin said
Hana pouted, “Please”
Soomin rolled her eyes, “Fine”
“Waffle here” an employee from the kitchen said. Hana elbowed Soomin. Soomin got the waffle and the ice coffee and brought it to Sunggyu’s table
“Here’s your order” Soomin said and looked at the celebrity talking with the director, his manager was the only one silent and accepted the order, “Kamsahamnida.” He bowed, “Sunggyu, here is your order”
Soomin bowed
Before Sunggyu could lift his head to face Soomin to check her out, Hana came infront of Soomin, “Mr. Sunggyu-shi. Do you mind if I have your autograph?” She asked
Sunggyu gave her a genuine smile, “Sure” He said and took Hana’s paper and wrote his signature on it. When he handed it to her he smiled, “What’s your name?”
Hana’s face turned pink, “Kim Hana”
“Work Hard Kim Hana. Fighting. Thanks for delivering the mean” Sunggyu said
“Oh! I wasn’t the one who delivered the meal” Hana said, “My friend was the one. Where is she?” She searched the room for Soomin but to looks like she was called to the kitchen again.
“So, back to business?” the director asked
Sunggyu’s attention was back at the director, “Just add a small kissing scene at the end of the movie, I’m sure the viewers will love it”
“I’ll try” The director said, “I’ll be going now. Thanks for the time. I’ll be seeing you on Saturday” He said
Sunggyu bowed and watched the director go out of the café
“You should try their ice coffee. It taste good” Sunggyu’s manager suggested
“Nah.” Sunggyu said and finished his waffle, “Let’s go” He said and tossed a $5 tip and went out the door
Soomin went out of the kitchen just after Sunggyu got out, she went to Hana, “So, were you able to get an autograph?” she asked
Hana nodded and showed Soomin the autograph
“Nice!” Soomin smiled, but stopped and looked at Sunggyu outside getting in the car, *I swear he looks familiar* she thought
