Sugar?
Sugar coatedDating isn't easy for anyone, but it's nearly impossible when you are a closeted lesbian, only heir and CEO of one of largest Asian company. The Seo´s always prized honesty so Soojin decided to tell them about her preferences, they accepted her but advised her that she should keep her uality a secret like most of asian heirs, she studied hard, dedicated herself exclusively to the company for years and when her father retired from his position as CEO, Soojin took over the company and made her parents proud with her achievements
Years later Seo Soojin was a busy woman but her chaotic lifestyle was wearing her out, her best friend Minnie suggested she take a vacation but she knew she wouldn't be able to relax so her other friend Soyeon suggested that she find something or someone to distract her, a sugar baby perhaps, apparently Soyeon had found one in an app and suggested that Soojin do the same. Helping someone financially in exchange for company seemed absurd to Soojin but she ended up downloading the app, profiles of women of all types appeared but none of them had caught her attention as she would have liked.
On one of the nights when Soojin couldn't sleep she decided to run along the Han River, after about half an hour running she decided to grab a latte in a coffee shop, it was a warm and cozy place and it was practically empty
-Can I help you ma'am?
A cute young woman who looked to be in her early 20s appeared at the counter and Soojin smiled at her
-A latte please
The barista gave her a shy cute smile and Soojin didn't know why but she couldn't take her eyes off her, there is something about this girl…Yeh Shuhua according to her nametag, and she decided that she would go back to the coffee shop whenever she could
And she did, she always came to the coffee shop, asked the same thing and she was always served by Shuhua with few words being exchanged between them, just shy smiles and generous tips, it gave her a warm feeling inside, it became part of her routine and she only realized that she missed Shuhua when she traveled to Japan and Thailand on business, she spent almost 3 weeks traveling and when she came back to Seoul the first thing she did was visit the coffee shop
-You came back miss
Soojin couldn't help but smile when she saw the big smile Shuhua gave her
-I was traveling
-I see, a latte to go right?
-Actually...
That night Soojin introduced herself to Shuhua and found out more about the barista, Shuhua was 21 years old, daughter of Taiwanese immigrants who lived in Jeonju, she is living in Seoul to study literature but her big dream is to be a successful writer, she had already sent some drafts to publishers but had not been successful so far, for now Shuhua worked in the coffee shop and several other places to be able to support herself and pay for college.
Shuhua was cute, funny and after that night, Soojin's interest in her only increased, in addition to the generous tips she started to bring sweets and chocolates to Shuhua, which made the barista extremely embarrassed
-Ma´am, you don´t have to bring me anything, your tips are more than enough
-Nonsense, take it
Conversations between them continued normally, they kind of became friends, Shuhua even showed Soojin some texts she had written and poems but Soojin craved for more.
Soojin had a busy week and hadn't had time to go to the coffee shop, it was late but she needed to see Shuhua so she decided to take a chance, she drove quickly but when she stopped the car in front from the coffee shop the lights were off, Shuhua must have gone home already, Soojin sighed, she really wanted to see Shuhua, defeated she started driving again but after driving two blocks she recognized a silhouette walking down the sidewalk
-Shuhua
Soojin shouted as she pulled over the car near the barista
-Miss Seo, what
