Angel
CartShuhua was stunned for a moment. The clumsy pretty girl who occupied her thoughts every so often was right infront if her at the moment.
"H-hey."
The Taiwanese cleared .
"Of course I remember you, Miyeon ssi. Hope you're feeling better."
The singer's grin was hidden behind her mask. But with the way her eyes turned into little crescent moons, Shuhua could tell that the girl was happy that she remembered her.
"I'm feeling better", Miyeon flashed a thumbs up.
"What a coincidence, I didn't know you worked here. Uhm I mean of course I wouldn't know, that would be reallyyyy creepy." rambled the singer.
A soft melodious giggle filled the singer's ear.
"Sorry, I'm rambling. It's just that...I'm really glad to see you again. I haven't thanked you properly yet." the singer rubbed the back of her neck shyly with a blush covering her cheeks.
"Don't worry about it. I couldn't just leave a pretty girl hurt on the ground."
Thump.
"So, what would you like?"
"Just an iced americano will do. I'll have it here."
"Alright, why not you take a seat. The cafe's pretty empty right now. I'll bring it to you."
The singer nodded and proceeded to pay for her drink. She then made her way to a quiet corner of the cafe, away from the windows and took a seat.
Placing her chin on the palm of her hand, the singer observed Shuhua who was moving about and preparing her coffee.
Pretty.
The Taiwanese was waiting for her shot of espresso from the coffee machine when Chorong popped out behind her.
"Hey Shuhua. I overheard your conversation. That's the girl you helped that day right?" whispered Chorong.
The barista nodded.
"Why not you go talk to her?"
"N-now? But I'm working."
Chorong waved her off.
"I'm the boss, it's fine. Anyway, I know you've been gushing about her to Yuqi." teased the older woman.
"I did not! I was just...curious about her." Shuhua crossed her arm and pouted.
"Well, now's your chance! Go go go. Don't worry, I can handle the cafe for now." her boss winked.
Shuhua groaned in annoyance.
"Fine!" she hissed as she grabbed a tray and placed the iced americano on it.
The Taiwanese walked towards the singer, ignoring the snicker coming from her boss.
"Hey, here's you coffee!"
"Thanks."
"Uhm, so...I actually have some free time right now. Do you wanna talk?" Shuhua asked sheepishly.
"Really? I'd love to!"
The singer then proceeded to take off her mask and cap; combing her fingers through her luscious brown locks to tidy up.
Miyeon looked directly into Shuhua's eyes with a megawatt smile.
And for the first time, Shuhua had a good look at the singer's face.
Damn. I knew she was ing pretty.
----------
Despite being the first time having a proper conversation with each other, it was comfortable.
Miyeon found out that Shuhua younger than her by 3 years and she was a university student who works part time at Une Année. She also found out that Shuhua was Taiwanese (Miyeon thinks her accent is adorable) and lives at a nearby apartment complex with her best friend.
"Miyeon ssi, what about you? What do you do?"
"Unnie. You can call me that, don't be so formal. You saved me afterall, Ms Angel." grinned the singer.
Shuhua blushed at the cheesy nickname.
"Okay, Miyeon unnie, so what do you do?" the Taiwanese emphasised cheekily.
"Well, I like to sing."
Shuhua's mouth shaped into a small 'o'.
"That's so cool. I'd love to hear you sing."
"Hmm...if you'd like, I can invite you to one of our performances next time. How's that?"
The Taiwanese nodded her head excitedly and Miyeon couldn't help but to smile at the sight.
"Alright, I'll make sure to let you know."
Their conversation was interrupted by the ringing of Miyeon's phone. The singer frowned apologetically as she picked up the call.
"Hello unnie? I'm at Hongdae. Nothing, just grabbing a cup of coffee. Oh...now? Okay I'll be there."
The singer sighed once she hung up the call.
"Hey Shuhua, thanks for chatting with me but I gotta go now. I'll see you soon alright?" Miyeon said while putting on her cap.
Shuhua would be lying if she said she wasn't slightly disappointed.
"Sure, bye unnie, see you soon!"
Both girls waved at each other as they bid their farewells.
Ring!
The ringing of the bell again signaled Miyeon's exit.
"Wow, you were right, she is pretty." chirped Chorong who appeared behind her out of nowhere.
"Oh my god unnie don't do that! You scared the crap out of me!"
Her boss simply shrugged and went back to the counter.
"Y'know, she kinda looks familiar somehow." Chorong thought out loud with a finger on her chin.
----------
"Oooo so she invited you to her performance? Do you have her number then?" Yuqi asked excitedly.
"Yes and no. But she did say 'see you again' before she left."
The Taiwanese and her best friend were lazing about in their shared apartment while Shuhua recalled the events that happened with Miyeon.
"I wanna be friends with a pretty girl who sings too. Where does she sing though? Is she in a university band or something?"
"I'm not too sure actually. We couldn't talk for long because she had to go somewhere urgently."
"Hope your girl doesn't ghost you." teased Yuqi.
"Ugh we're just friends. Now stop bothering me." Shuhua rolled her eyes.
