First Meetings
Things UnsaidJoohyun looked up as the cafe door opened and her first customer of the day walked in. It was almost lunch time and she was expecting a huge crowd today. Mondays were always the busiest day of the week since no one wanted to get out of bed and somehow they chose to cope with junk food. She had no problems with that at all. More customers meant more money and well, who doesn't like money?
She smiled at one of her regulars, Choi, a middle aged man who worked at the bank opposite her store. He was always smiling and always took the same order of the fish burger with fries.
"Order number 1 please come and collect it"
"Always so prompt, I knew I could trust you" said Choi, with a grimace on his face.
"My day was bad but hey at least I get good food now"
Joohyun smiled at him as he made his way to his regular seat, and dug into his food.
Joohyun loved routines. She wasn't someone who was really rigid but she did not like being surprised. She worked the rush hour with finesse and just when she was about to relax, a young woman walked into the cafe. She was dressed in khaki pants and white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. Vaguely Joohyun realised that this was the first time she was seeing her. The woman looked flustered a bit, and there was a dusting of redness on her cheeks.
"Hi, um could you please take my order?", the woman said with a small smile on her face.
"Sure. What would you like to ha
