The cold weather and cool wind was turning my body warmth to an unnaturally low degree; I stopped by a small coffee shop to just relax...

"Oppa! Oppa! There is a new coffee shop down the street! Will you take me?" Your bottom lip stuck out a little and you were putting on your signature puppy eyes. Oh no, my ultimate weakness, AEGYO.

"Pleaseeeee, Oppa! I promise I won't ask you for anything else." Oh yea, like I haven't heard that before. But she continued with her puppy face, and my strength was starting to whither away.

"Yay! Thank you, oppa! Let's go!" She dragged me off the couch, away from my beloved comfort and relaxation. Sigh, in the end I couldn't help but give in to my little tokki.

I ordered the regular drink; the sugary sweet drink that you got me hooked on, hot chocolate. I remember your words the first time you told me the story behind this warm and sweet drink.

"Oppa, don't buy coffee! That junk is just bitter and grooosss~" You stuck out your cute little tongue and tightly closed your eyes; although you were showing a look of disgust, I still found it very cute. but, I rolled my eyes at you, of course you noticed this action and just stuck your tongue out at me.

Careful, I should have just showed you why it isn't "polite" to stick your tongue out at others...

"Oppa, buy hot chocolate instead; like me!" You gave me your sugar sweet eye smile, so how do you expect me to refuse. I just put my head down in defeat, I know I can't win over you; sadly, I never can. *Sigh*

"Yay! I win again! Waitress unnie~ we will both have hot chocolate, thank you ^^" The waitress looks over at me and gives me a little wink, I give an awkward smile back before she goes back returning to her job. I look back at you, only to see you smirk a little to me. I give a questioning look. "Nothing, nothing, Mr. Charmer." Say what?

I wish you knew that I was always only looking at you, I did not care about some other girl; I wish you knew...

Our hot chocolate arrived; I notice that a little piece of paper is under my cup. I look up towards the waitress only to see her wink at me again before walking off.

"Oppa, do you know of the hot chocolate myth?" I shook my head, the story I bet is just she is making up right on the spot; but let's see what she's got.

"Okay, well the hot chocolate myth goes something like this...Once upon a time; there was a girl that had been in love with this boy for some time. The boy had always been so nice and caring to her, so she couldn't help but just to fall. One day, she finally had gained the courage and went to go confess her love to the boy. But once she saw the boy, she saw that he was not alone, he was with his sweetheart. Of course the girl ended up heartbroken. But, she went to this 'magic' cafe that was said to be called 'Cafe du Coeur(Cafe of The Heart)-'"

I take a quick glance up toward the window of the cafe we were in. It read "Cafe du Coeur," I looked at you and saw you smiling at me. You are just making this all up, right?

You then continued on, "-the shop owner had noticed of the girl's glum expression, and could somehow 'magically' tell she had just gotten her heart-broken. When the girl went up to the counter, the shop owner immediately gave the girl this warm chocolate liquid. It could've been poisoned for all she knew, but she drank it anyway, feeling she had nothing else to lose. When she drank it, it was not too sweet, and the warmth of the liquid soothed her broken heart. The magic liquid filled the broken seam of the two-halves of her heart. She was not fully cured from the disastrous event; but the hot chocolate was truly magically that it was able to make her smile so soon."

That was sure a story; I can tell it was all fake. Who would believe something like that? I just scoffed a little at your story and sipped my now cooled hot chocolate. "Fine! Don't listen to me, but you'll see! It is true! Hot chocolate can mend the hearts of others!"

I took a sip of the sugar educed drink...

I knew it was just a myth...
