"I-I..." Great. Now I'm helpless. I'm stuck. What was I suppose to answer?! No? Yes? Maybe?!. 

Everyone was looking at me. Key had his eyebrows raised, Minho's face was expressionless, Onew was looking at me, his eyes searching for an answer, Taemin was fiddling, probably because he realized how awkward the situation was right now, (he did know what happened between me and Jonghyun) and Jonghyun was looking at me with a helpless expression, his lips were formed into a pout and his eyes were glossy, filled with sadness. 

Now I didn't know what to do. I was frozen. All eyes were on me and I didn't know what to say. 

"A-aniyo... Gwaenchanayo," Jonghyun spoke up the tears in his eyes were smeared across his cheeks and he had a smile smile on his face. 

"D-deh..." I stood up from my seat, my mind still racing with thoughts.

I was, well, confused. What was I suppose to feel not that I've met the guy I've hated after 7 years? Do I hate him? Why doesn't he hate me? DId he change?

"You can order at the counter," I said then left the awkward scene. I could've taken the orders there and then but the atmosphere was icy and cold. I didn't want to make anything worse. I don't do very well in awkward situations.

I scurried to the front cash register then slumped my chin on my hand. The sun was still out and the annoying bunch of teenage girls were gone and a handful of them were still here. I noticed that Han Mi was gone somewhere, probably her break. 
I let out a loud sigh then started to clean the cookie crumb covered counter. 

As I was cleaning the counter top, I felt a person tower over me. I looked up and saw that it was Onew. He wore a smile on his face. I couldn't help but smile back. His cute eye smile was too contagious.

"What would you like today?" I said to him while grabbing my notepad and pen. 

"5 slices of chocolate cake and 4 bottles of water. Oh and uh- banana milk for Taemin," "banana milk for Taemin," I said the same time as him. I giggled slightly then got a tray for their orders. 

"...I couldn't help but notice that you looked... troubled?" he said to me suddenly as I placed the plates and bottles of bevarages on the tray.

"Huh?" I said as I pressed the buttons on the cash register.

"It looked like something was troubling you earlier. I just wanted to say that, even though you've just met me, I want to be friends with you. I've heard Taemin talk about you alot. He says that you're the best noona ever. You looked sad and I want to let you know that I can be a dubu to cry on," he joked. I giggled at his corny joke. He had a friendly vibe within him. I felt secure, like I could trust him. 

I wasn't really good with people, and the fact that Onew from SHINee said that he wanted to friends with me made me happy that atleast someone wants to be friends with me instead of it being the other way round.

"Thanks Onew-ssi," I said then bowed my head slightly.

"Ah... no, just call me Onew," he said as he payed for the orders and picked up the tray.

"Not oppa? You are 3 years older than me," I stated. I handed him his change but he pushed my hand back and motioned me to keep it. I shook my head but his smile told me to keep it. I smiled and bowed at him. "Kamsahamnida,"

"You're welcome. And, don't bother call me oppa. It makes me feel old," he said. He struggled to hold the packed tray so to help him out, I took some of the plates and sat them down on another tray.

"Kamsahamnida," he said. I walked with him to their table at the back of the cafe. I sat the plates down then bowed.

"Enjoy your food," I said then smiled before turning away. I heard the clinking of untensils and I took it as a sign to walk away. Before I walked away, a hand grabbed my wrist before I walked away. 

"Stay," I saw that it was Onew. I shook my head no. I didn't want to sit through the awkwardness that filled the room when I sit in my seat silent as they examined me with wondering eyes. I couldn't face Jonghyun. Not now. Not after I said that big lie that I now regret saying. 

"B-But I have to take orders," I reasoned as I motioned towards the ahjummas and businessmen coming in for their after work coffee and cake. 

"Arasso," he sighed then smiled at me. I walked away to take the orders of the ladies that chose to sit at the front of the cafe instead of the neary empty back tables.

"Annyeonghaseyo. Je ireumeun Eunkyung imnida. I will be your server for today. What would you like?" I asked after I introduced myself to them with a smile.

"What a nice young lady," I heard one the ahjummas say. I smiled towards her direction then smiled.

"We'll just have 4 cups of regular cofee. If you can kindly bring the sugar and milk to us instead, that would be nice," The ahjumma smiled at me and nodded and left not before bowing my head slightly.

I quickly made their coffee and handed them the milk and sugar like they'd asked. After, I went back to the desk and sat on the high stool chair as there wasn't much costumers around. 

I still hated myself for saying such a lie. How was I suppose to pull this off? I'm such an idiot. What was I thinking? 

I can't just go back to them and then say "Ha Ha, I was just kidding about the amnesia thing. You can all laugh and hate me now,". Not now. Not now that Taemin's back and I've quickly found a friend in Onew. I just couldn't. 

Now what was I suppose to do? 

I guess I'm going to have to follow on with this lie. Even though I don't want to, I have to. It's gone to far for me to just say that it was just a silly little joke.

"What's up with you today?" Han Mi said. I faced towards her, breaking away from my thoughts.

"Nothing," I sighed then walked away to check if the SHINee boys were finished. As I walked to their table, I saw how happy they were. They were laughing and joking around. Even Jonghyun, who looked much happier than he did earlier.

"Oh, noona," I heard Taemin say as I came into view. 

"Annyeonghaseyo," I said as I reached their table. "Are you all done?" I said as I avoided Jonghyun's gaze and instead looked at the empty plates.

"Deh," They said in unison. I began to pick up the plates, piling them on top of each other. I walked to the kitchen then put the dishes in the sink.

I came back to pick up their empty glasses and then bowed one last time.

"Kamsahamnida for eating here today. Please come back soon," I bowed and they smiled and began a conversation between them again.

I realized that the cafe was nearly empty and that the sun was beginning to set outside. 

"You're on closing duty today~" Han Mi sang as she walked outside the cafe while waving at me. 

I hated closing duty. It was eerily quiet at night. The cafe closes at 8 at night and it was usually dark by then. It was 7:30 and no more costumers came. 

I cleaned up the tables, the time slowly passing. The people that one scattered the cafe left and no one was left but me. Or so I thought...

"We'll be going now," I turned around and saw the 5 boys behind me, ready to go. I smiled then bowed.

"Nice meeting you all,"

"Deh. Nice meeting you too. Let's meet again soon arasso?" This time, Key spoke. I nodded then waved at them before they left.

"Noona, call me arasso?" He hugged me one last time before handing me a napkin with digits written on it. I nodded then turned around to wipe the tables again. 

Closing duty wasn't that bad. It gave me some time to clear my thoughts. After all, I have alot of problems right now.

As I was cleaning, I felt someone present and I slowly turned and faced someone that I was not expected to see...
