MISSING
Description
Kim Chaewon will go crazy if anything around her went missing.
It’s cold.
I rushed out of the room earlier I just grabbed a trench coat. The weather seemed to be colder than it seemed even though the sun was shining brightly in the sky. I fisted my hands in my coat pockets to keep warm. Foolishly, I even forgot to bring gloves.
But I kept walking along the streets to distract myself. Staying alone in the room made me even more depressed. I’m not sure why I thought of her more often than usual today. And every time I did, my tears will roll down my face. So I kept on walking, letting my feet take me anywhere it wanted.
I stopped.
I didn’t know how but I was suddenly across the street from Hollys Coffee. I saw the customers filling the seats and Hyewon was running around the ground floor. Finally, she’s doing her manager work.
And then I saw her, our Barista Minjoo. Handing cups to the customers. Even from a distance, I could tell that she wasn’t smiling like she always does. We might lose customers today. I began to think that the customers who kept coming back were charmed by her smile instead of her coffee. Her smile was just as addictive as caffeine.
Suddenly, I heard the beep from my phone. I got a message.
‘How are you?’ - Minjoo
I glanced through the glass wall and saw Minjoo leaning against the wall with her phone. I chuckled and quickly replied.
‘Missed me?’
‘I just don’t have anyone to bicker with.’
‘So you do miss me then ;)’
‘Whatever.’
Foreword
This is a remake from my 2013 soshi fanfic with the same name. I don't know if anyone still remembers aha. I wrote this after returning from cafe hunting in Seoul during a winter. I really like this one, it's more laid back, kind of slowburn style that would work well with a cup of coffee. Cafe setting, coffee, lovely 2Kim and a secret, you can never go wrong.
Enjoy reading and leave comments!
