CHAPTER 4

Her

---

“Earth to Yoona? Hello?” Yoona who has been paralyzed for a minute, snapped out from her thoughts when sooyoung waves her hand in front of her face.

“H-huh? What?” she turned her face to her tall friend, who was now frowning.

“She’s waiting for you” Sooyoung says, pointing her lips to the beautiful customer. Yoona tilted her head to where sooyoung pointed, and she, once again, drowned with her brown orbs.

Sooyoung clears to get her friend’s attention back. “Go talk to her.” Yoona looks at her. “And you have a lot of explaining to do later on.” She playfully says as she patted her friend’s shoulder to know that she’s fine with it, even though she was quite torn inside.

Yoona was now left alone behind the counter when sooyoung makes her leave to the kitchen. She didn’t fail to notice the sadness behind the cool front of her friend before she left.

Yoona who was caught off guard, lifts her head. “Ohhh, I am?” she asked back, and mentally smack her head for the words she just blurted out. She tries looks outside the window, to hide her blushing face. Sensing the awkward silence, she clears . “Uhm, my friend sooyoung said that you are looking for me?” she asked, still looking outside.

“Look at me please” the woman says. Yoona tilts her head to the right slowly, looking really pale from nervousness. The woman chuckles softly. “Don’t be nervous, I’m not gonna bite you” she says, then straighten her posture.

The woman stuck her hand in front of her. Yoona stares at the hand like it was an alien object. “Jessica” Yoona lifts her eye to the woman, confused. “My name is Jessica. Jessica Jung” Jessica introduced with her sincere smile, that blinds the sight of the lov
