The Girl With Teal Headphones

The Girl With Teal Headphones

Key:

* Ljoe's thoughts

* YooJin's thoughts

 

Ljoe placed refilled the coffee machine with beans quietly as he looked around the cafe his friend Andy ran. "Hey Byunghyun." He cringed at his friend calling his real name and looked over.  "Take out the trash" He looked up at his friend Chanhee, other known as Chunji.

Lazy .... Ljoe took the trash bag from his hands without a word and gave him a glare before walking out the cafe and tossing it to the side where most the trash would pile up after a while. He came out of the ally way and stared at the sign, the sun hitting his back before being covered by the moving clouds. "Quiet as ever." He whispered before walking back in.

"Hey hyung." He looked up at his younger friend Jonghyun, other known as Changjo. "Minsoo hyung wants you to man the register." He said pointing behind him refering to the eldest of the bunch also known as CAP.

"Why can't hyung do it?" Ljoe said in a slight wining tone putting his hands on his hips.

"It's hyungs nap time." Daniel, also known as Niel said making a pillow with his hands causing Changjo and Ljoe to chuckle. "Plus if you do it Andy hyung will pay you and NOT him."

"All the more better." Changjo smiled.

"You two." Ljoe said before walking over to the register. He noticed a petite girl standing in front and quickly hurried. "Sorry to make you wait." He said quickly. I stared at him for a second then nodded my head. "What can I get you."

"Black coffee." I said. Ljoe stared at me. Her voice sounds a little funny for her size.... He shook his head immediately. "Are you out?" I asked.

"Oh no!" He said, his cheeks going pink. I nodded my head. "That'll be 3.08." He said. I nodded my head again reaching into my small gray purse pulling out my wallet. He stared at me. I've never seen her before... He thought as he took my bill to make change. When he handed me back my money I looked at him wondering if he'll say anything else. "I'll bring your coffee to your table." He said. I nodded my head before taking my money and placing it into my bag. "There's an empty table over there." He said. I stood there for a second and Ljoe faultered. "Miss?" He tapped my shoulder and I looked at him curiously. "Guess you couldn't hear me." He laughed. "Your table." He said slowly. "It's over there." He pointed. I looked over my shoulder and pointed to the table in his direction. "Yes there." He nodded. I nodded my head then walked away.

 

"She's a cute customer." Said Chunji coming over to him. "Mind if I bring it to her table?" He nudged Ljoe.

"Hell no." Ljoe said. "I don't trust you, you do enough flirting when we go clubbing." He smirked before pouring some coffee into a nice mug. "Oh." He said suprised.

"What's wrong?" Chunji said. "Changed your mind?" He smirked.

"Shut up." Ljoe chuckled then he frowned. "I forgot to ask if she wanted cream or not." Chunji turned to my expression, I was on my phone going through messages from what he saw.

"Go ask her then." Chunji said. "Or sha'll I?" He said getting ready to walk. But not before Ljoe can push him aside and walking over to me. "Easy." Chunji smirked. Chunji chuckled and went over to take the orders or two elderly women.

"Excuse me." Ljoe said. I was still staring at me phone. Is her music too loud that she can't hear me? He blinked before leaning over the table and tapping my shoulder. I looked up immediately and flinched making my phone fall to the floor. "I'm sorry!" Ljoe said embarrassed.

"I-it's okay.." I said leaning down to pick it  up. Ljoe nudged his head to the side. Her voice... why does it bother me a little... I looked up at him after wiping my phone's screen. "Yes?"

"Oh." Ljoe said. "I was wondering if you wanted cream or anything?" He asked staring at me.

"Milk." I said. "Lots of milk." Ljoe nodded again before walking away. He looked back at me who was staring back at him. His cheeks went a little red before he went back around the counter where Chunji quickly put his arm around Ljoe's shoulder.

 

"So.." Chunji said. "How'd it go."

"What do you mean?" Ljoe said grabbing the milk from the fridge. Chunji rolled his eyes. "I just asked her what she wanted in her coffee. That's all."

"Did you get her number?" Chunji asked seriously.

"DUDE!?" Ljoe shrieked at his friend. Chunji couldn't help but burst out laughing and Ljoe's cheeks went crazy pink. His friend around the cafe couldn't help but look at Ljoe in a weird way. Ljoe shoved Chunji and Chunji stopped laughing.

"Come on" Chunji said. "It's not like you'll see her again."

"You don't know that.." Ljoe said quietly. "Besides. She's just a customer and I'm an employee." He stated. "There's no way I'll just go up to her and say." He did a little gesture and turned around. "Can I have your number-" He chocked when he saw me standing there.

"Oh..." Chunji said. "Busted~" Ljoe turned to Chunji giving him a small glare then back at me.

"Y-yes?" Ljoe asked. Did she hear everything!?

"Can I have it to go." I said pointing to what I guessed was my coffee. Ljoe turned to the coffee then quickly nodded his head before escaping to exchanged the coffee from the mug to a togo cup.

"Smooth." Chunji chuckled.

"Will you shut up!" Ljoe wined. "You just had to say that didn't you!?" Ljoe's cheeks were as red as a rose and he looked back at me who had a disinterest expression on my face. She must think I'm a loser! Great Byunghyun! Just great! He fiercely ruffled his reddish orange hair and sighed.

"Well I don't think she heard." Chunji said turning to me who was scrolling down my phone. Ljoe perked up a little. "Maybe it's because of her music." Ljoe sighed before closing the cup and hitting Chunji again before coming to the counter.

"Here you go." Ljoe said placing it in front of me. I looked up at Ljoe then back at my phone before putting it into my bag and taking the coffee. I took a sip and he blinked. "Is it to your liking?" I looked at Ljoe.

Pulling the cup away I gave him a small smile. Ljoe's jaw dropped a little and his heart began to beat fast. "It's delicious." I said smiling. Ljoe gulped. "Thank you." I bowed. "See you tomorrow." I turned to the door and quickly walked away.

"Have a nice day!" Niel and Changjo yelled out the door behind quickly heading to the counter. "So did you get the digits!?" Changjo asked.

"DUDE SHUT UP!" Ljoe yelled hitting the two in the arm.

"Smooth.." Chunji said laughing before going over to a customer who was waving her hand. Ljoe facepalmed and then blinked for a second before looking up at the door, ignoring his 2 dongsaengs.

She said see you tomorrow... He thought to himself. So does that mean she'll come here again? Tomorrow? Changjo and Niel exchanged glances before getting back to work. But when!?!?!! Ljoe ruffled his hair frustrated and sighed. "She's just a customer Byunghyun..."

"Yeah right..." CAP said out of nowhere. Ljoe jumped and stared at the tired elder. "Get to work..." CAP pointed behind him. Ljoe made a face before walking passed CAP.

"I'll see her tomorrow." Ljoe smiled. He did a small dance before he started cleaning plates.

I looked up at the cafe sign saying ANGEL cafe. Is this the right cafe? I thought. Then I noticed the reddish orange hair and my cheeks went a little pink. I could've noticed that hair from a mile away. Quickly I looked down at my dark washed skinny jeans and snow white crew neck sweater. My teal headphones were sitting perfectly on my head and I walked into the shop.

Welcome! I stared at the male's lips. I nodded my head before heading towards the counter. My phone in my pocket vibrated and I reached for it and stared at the message. Feeling someone tap my shoulder I looked up and met eyes with the boy, my eyes wandered to his name tag quickly. Byunghyun. Then my eyes landed on his pinkish lips.

What can I get for you? They read.

"Coffee." I said. There was nothing else I've ever tried, and it'd be too much of a hassel to say. He nodded his head. His lips began to move fast and I grimaced. "Can you repeat that?" I asked.

With extra milk? He said. I nodded my head and he smiled, I swear my heart skipped a beat when his lips curled upwards. You can sit there. His lips mouthed as he pointed to a table, it was the same table I sat at yesterday. I nodded and quickly walked to the table.

I had just moved to this town, I wanted to find a quiet, take that back, a pretty place to sit at, and I came across this cafe. I didn't expect to meet someone like Byunghyun. My eyes wandered over to him, holding my phone in front of me just incase they looked my way. Byunghyun was struggling out of his co-workers arms. It looked like they were teasing him. I wondered why.

Suddenly Byunghyun came over to me. Don't panic YooJin! Don't panic! I thought to myself as I looked straight back at my phone. Maybe he's going to another table. I frowned a little thinking it before I felt a tap. I looked up and saw his pleasant smile.

Sorry for the bother. His lips read. I shook my head. He stared at me before looking at something, I guessed it was my headphones. He looked back at me and asked. Do you want anything else? I reccommend some of our cakes.

He wants me to talk. I thought. I opened my mouth trying to think. "Strawberry Cheese?" I said. He nodded his head before walking away. I smiled and did a small dance inside. I talked to him! Again! Yes! Go YooJin! I looked at my phone then back at the reddish orange haired boy cutting cake.  This is definitely a nice place. I smiled.

Chapter 9: I really liked this story a lot :) I took a year of American Sign Language last year and fell in love with it and the culture. I'm so glad that you wrote this. It shows that Deaf people aren't weird creatures that share this planet with us. They are just like Hearing people, the only difference is that they can't hear. This story is just amazing and so well written :) Thank you so much!
Oh, and the sign language earlier -Sorry. I'm Deaf.- you got everything correct. But there is a sign for 'Deaf.' Instead of finger spelling it, you put your forefinger to your chin and then move it to your right ear (right-handed) or left ear (left-handed). But in this case, I think it was smart to finger spell since L.Joe might not have known that sign.
Second, I think it's funny how you used American Sign Language (ASL) and not Korean Sign Language (KSL). Just like spoken languages, signing has many different languages. Even ASL and BSL (British Sign Language) are really different! Isn't that fascinating? I think so :)
But, yeah :) I loved this so much! Thank you!
