We Meet Again
I Cheated on Byun BaekhyunChapter 4- We Meet Again
Social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter were going crazy with nonstop statuses or tweets about a picture.
"That girl does look like the girl in the picture with Baekhyun," one tweet said.
"How crazy. Where was this picture taken? I want to go there to see for myself"
"We are just overanalyzing things don't you think? What if she's just a look-alike?"
"This picture was taken at the Sunrise Cafe in Seoul. She usually works there everyday, so you'll see her right away when you walk in. It's up to you if you want to believe it or not. You will be surprise when you take a look at her," the owner of the original post stated.
In the midst of this picture going viral. there was one person who was viewing this photo on his tablet while leisurely sitting down on his couch and drinking a cup of warm coffee. This person, was none other than Baekhyun. He was researching results of what the public had to say about his confession and explanation of why he lied he never had a first love, and it just so happened that he came across this viral photo while doing so.
"Sunrise... Cafe?" Baekhyun asked himself as he read the comment.
It was still early in the morning, and the cafe was busier than usual. Waitresses were walking around at a fast pace while taking orders and trying to help out other customers at the same time.
"Today is busier than usual. What's going on?" one of Mina's coworker asked as she just barely finished taking an order.
"I'm not sure. Did someone promote our cafe?" Mina asked, who was also confused.
At the same moment, Bora exited from the backroom and stood next to Mina and the other coworker.
"Weird... Don't you think?" Bora asked suspiciously as she looked at Mina. Why was she staring at her in such a way?
"But I guess. This is good for us, isn't it?" Mina asked with a smile as she grabbed some menus and went back to working.
Just then, another female coworker came out from the backroom and stood next to Bora and the other worker with her phone out.
"What are you doing with your phone out? You'll be in trouble if you get caught," the other worker asked.
"Wait up! Look at this! There's a photo of Mina that's going viral, and it says that she looks exactly like the girl in the photo with Baekhyun,"
"What?" Bora asked as she quickly grabbed the phone to look at it.
She then saw the photo, and realized that it was a photo of Mina who was looking at the camera, not realizing at that moment that the person with the phone was taking a picture of her.
"Now that I think about it, Mina does look like the girl in the picture with our Baekhyunnie... But that cannot be! Our Prince would never date someone like her, not to be mean,"
The three of them shifted their eyes to look at Mina who was busy serving customers and taking down their orders. While she was doing this, she didn't realize that people in the cafe were staring at her and whispering to their friends about her.
Suddenly, a man with sunglasses who was dressed in clothes that gave off a rich and celebrity-like vibe, walked into the cafe. Everybody stopped what they were doing to look at this man that walked in, and wondered who he was.
"Hello, how can I-" the waitress tried to say before she stopped so suddenly while staring at this man.
The man took off his glasses, revealing his identity.
"Baek... Hyun?" one girl said in disbelief while the cafe remained silent for a short while.
"No way. That cannot be him,"
"Hello. Can I get a table for one?" Baekhyun said with a gentle smile as he slightly bowed to the waitress.
"Oh- Ye-yes," the waitress said, who was still having a hard time processing everything in her head.
She led Baekhyun to a table where he sat down and was given a menu. Meanwhile, the cafe was still silent with all eyes on him.
"Is there anything that you recommend?" Baekhyun asked with a smile as he looked at the waitress.
"Sorry to ask, but are you... Baekhyun..? The- the actor?" the waitress stuttered.
"Oh, yes I am," Baekhyun replied with slight embarrassment of all the attention.
"I'm a big fan!" the waitress said with joy, forgetting that she was still working.
Everybody began to talk loudly with excitement as they stared at this handsome and popular actor in front of them. They were still in disbelief that a top actor like Baekhyun would be at a small cafe like this! Bora was also staring at Baekhyun from behind the counter and unable to believe it also.
However, there was one person who was not filled with excitement and joy like everyone else, but rather with anxiety. Mina was hiding in the backroom with her heart beating faster than ever as she held menus tightly to her chest. What was he doing here?! She slowly peeked her head out to look at Baekhyun to see if it was really him, and then quickly pulled her head back into the room when she realized that it was.
"This vanilla iced coffee is one of our most popular for the summer since it is getting hot. They also order our cinnamon bagel on the side as a little snack," the waitress explained to Baekhyun.
While the waitress was speaking to Baekhyun and recommending him some food on the menu, he couldn't help but look around the cafe as if he was looking for someone.
"Would you like to order anything more?" the waitress asked politely.
"No, that will be all," Baekhyun replied with another smile before the waitress walked away.
He continued to look around the cafe for somebody, but still didn't see that person anywhere in sight. As he was looking around, he noticed people were staring at him with admiration in which he smiled with shyness because of all the attention.
"He is so much more handsome in real life!" one girl said as she took a picture of him on her phone.
Meanwhile, Mina was still hiding in the backroom and unable to think properly.
"Mina, what are you doing here? Get out there, it's getting crazy! Byun Baekhyun is here, and more people are entering the cafe now," her manager informed when she saw Mina hanging around in the backroom.
"Oh, ye-yes ma'am," Mina said as she quickly forced herself out of the room.
Mina walked back into the main dining area where the customers were eating and staring at Baekhyun at the same time, hoping that he would not see her. While she was walking around and doing her best to help customers out, she was keeping her head down with her bangs in her face while trying her best to avoid Baekhyun. Just then, because she couldn't help but look at Baekhyun and was not paying attention to where she was going, she bumped into a table which caused a cup of water to spill onto a customer.
"What are you doing?!" the customer yelled.
"So-sorry! I'm sorry!" Mina said as she tried to help the customer.
"Forget it!"
"What's going on here?" the manager asked as she stood next to Mina after hearing the scream.
"Does your employee here not have eyes? She bumped into our table and spilled my drink on me!" the customer yelled in furiousness.
"I'm truly sorry. I didn't mean to," Mina apologized as she tried to help out the customer again.
"I said to forget it! I don't want your filthy hands on my clothes," the customer yelled.
"Mina, just go to the backroom and stay there for now. I'll deal with you after I clean up the mess," the manager said to her with a disgruntled tone.
Mina slowly backed away from the customer, and made her way to the backroom like she was told to. She was filled with embarrassment and anger for her foolish actions of not looking at where she was going. In the midst of this unsettling situation, there was one person who was staring at Mina the whole time as she walked to the backroom. It was none other than Baekhyun who finally found the person that he was looking for.
Later that night, Mina was cleaning the cafe and getting ready to close by herself. Due to her careless actions earlier with the customer, she was ordered by her manager to make up for her actions by cleaning up the cafe and making it as clean as possible.
"Why am I stuck with this? It's not like I meant to," Mina groaned as she scrubbed the tables with a cleaning towel.
When she was done cleaning the table, she walked to the backroom to do other chores and work that she was told to. Suddenly, the bells on the door rang unexpectedly.
"Did I forget to lock the doors?" Mina asked herself as she stopped whatever she was doing and walked out to the main room.
But before she could say anything further, she stopped as soon as she saw the person who walked in this late at night.
"Hello, Kwon Mina. It's been a while," Baekhyun said.
