Just an Art Gallery, Just a Coffee Shop

Description

Do Kyungsoo works in a small coffee shop just across from the fanciest art gallery in all of Seoul. He has never really had much interest in it, and has only heard snippets about it from the customers. He decides one day, during a special exhibition of modern art by an up-and-coming artist, to visit this gallery with a customer; and his life will simply never be the same. 

Foreword

"Ayo, Do Kyungsoo!" A customer called as he entered SeoulShop, a newer coffee shop that had been packed with people all day. "Kyungsoo!" The voice called from the back of the very long line to the counter practically going out the door. Do Kyungsoo was standing at the cash register, impatiently taking people's orders, waiting to see who was the person calling for him in the back. It was a few more minutes before the mystery man stopped calling Kyungsoo's name, to his great joy. Kyungsoo became embarrassed easily, especially in front of all the people in SeoulShop. Kyungsoo managed to get a few more orders in before seeing the face of his most loyal customer, Oh Sehun. Sehun had started coming to SeoulShop when Kyungsoo was first hired, and the former had spent almost every day talking to Kyungsoo nonstop about an art gallery across the street, which was probably the most talked about topic in the coffee place.

"Oh Sehun, you are being a little, well, loud. What do you want?" Kyungsoo whispered with a threatening tone as Sehun approached him at the counter. Sehun just smiled and ed a pamphlet into Kyungsoo's hand. He studied it silently and pushed another one of his coworkers into his spot at the register as he read it more carefully. Kyungsoo circled around to a small table that was behind the counter and reserved for workers only. "New modern art exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts in Seoul...new, young, male artist..."

Kyungsoo looked up to see Sehun waving him over from outside SeoulShop. He held up two tickets in his hand and yelled, "You comin', or what?" to which Kyungsoo looked over at his coworker at the register with a questioning look, pointing to Sehun outside. They both looked at the clock at the same time, both of them realizing Kyungsoo still had twenty minutes left of his shift.

"Yeah, okay, I'll cover for you. But if Minseok comes out here, I swear..." The coworker threatened Kyungsoo, but the latter was already taking off his dark green apron and donning his brown sweatshirt.

"Thanks, Chanyeol!" Kyungsoo shouted to his coworker as he walked out the employee door. "Sehun! Wait up!" Kyungsoo called as he walked across the street.
