It was an early start for her. She woke up at five, get dressed and with extra time to spare she prepared breakfast. Soon, the dining table was filled with kimchi fried rice and bean paste soup. Seolhee glanced at the couch. A briefcase, a bunch of files and caramel colored jacket were lying on it. 

She did come home last night. Since Seolhee went to bed at midnight, she probably returned later than that. "Wake up. You're going to be late." She knocked on the door a few times, reminding her housemate of her morning presentation. "I'll be going first, so make sure you eat breakfast okay? And come to the opening later. You must!" She said it loud and clear. A faint reply satisfied her. "Bye!"

Inside, the girl who was asleep stirred on the bed. She turns to the side and mumbled randomly before reaching for the phone on the desk near the bed. The closed curtains kept light from entering the room and in the darkness she tends to sleep more. 

Beep! Beep! The blaring alarm sound broke the silence. She stirred once more, her body shot up once the alarm sounds, "Presentation! You have a presentation!" 

It's already 7 o'clock. "Shoot!" The latter jumped out of the bed, grabbed a towel and ran to the bathroom. 

Haha... That's me. I'll see you guys later. Right now, I need to hurry!

The Cafe Bloom was already open for business. By lunchtime, the customers started pouring in and kept the staffs busy. "One decaf latte, two mochas and one espresso. Add in for table four." 

"What?" 

Seolhee chuckled. "One decaffeinated latte, two mochas and one espresso. Okay?" Woohyun rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly smiling. He could stand there and listen to her voice all day. Or record it in his phone and play it twenty four hours a day. "Got it." He typed in the new orders into the computer. "Pay attention, newbie." Jaehoon warned him with a glare. 

He can be playful, but at work he can be scary. In other words; he plays hard; he works harder. I'm just glad he's not the boss. 

"Relax, oppa. We're doing great." Seolhee, being positive patted his shoulder. "Right, Woohyun?" 

"Right, boss." 

"Seolhee. I told you, drop the formalities." Woohyun resisted the urge to grin like a crazy person. Apparently, she laughs easily and he enjoys making her laugh. He watched her tightening the apron around her waist before going back to work. He imagined putting his arms around it and pulling her closer to him. "Woohyun!" 

"Huh?" Focus! Jaehoon gave a second warning before turning to the roasters. He is scary. Woohyun nodded in approval. It is better to stop drooling over Seolhee for now. 

For Seolhee, it was tiring yet she was more than delighted. To every customer she serves with a welcoming smile. She paused at where the congratulatory flowers were lined up. All of them were from her former employers whom she part timed as a student. She glanced at every single one of them until she noticed someone at the end. She was holding a bouquet of sunflowers covering her face.

Curving her lips upwards, she crossed her arms. "You're late." The girl lowered the bouquet with an a
