Taehyun stopped right in front of a café.

He took a look at the paper and the signboard of the café.

“I guess this is the right place.”

He shoved the paper back into his jeans’ pocket before walked into the café.

“Annyeonghaseyo.”

A waitress greeted him with a smile and he gave her a small bow.

“May I know, is this Mr. Kim’s café?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Is he here?”

“Nae. Please wait for a minute. And have a seat first.”

Taehyun chose an empty table at the corner of the shop.

He looked around and wondering about the cost the owners had spent on this beautiful and neat café.

So far, it was the prettiest café that he had ever been to.

Or, it could be said that it was the first café that he had ever been to.

“Annyeong! We meet again, huh?”

The boy from the cemetery then took a seat in front of him.

“I knew that you will come eventually.”

Taehyun smiled and looked straight into his eyes.

“Hey, do you really need a worker here?”

Taehyun took a look around the café.

“It looks like you’ve got enough workers.”

That boy just smiled and patted Taehyun’s hand.

“Don’t worry about that. We do have a job for you, but not as the waiter or cashier.”

Then?

Don’t tell me that he wants me to be a cleaner?

No. I will not accept that!

But, what’s wrong for being a cleaner?

“I’m going to give you the position as a barista actually. Are you okay with that?”

So, I will not become a cleaner?

“Hey, gwenchana?”

That boy waved his hand in front of Taehyun and brought him back to reality.

“Oh, I’m fine. Whatever job that you’re going to give to me I will consider them all.”

He smiled but deep inside, he was afraid to accept the offer.

That was because he didn’t know how to make coffee.

Or latte.

Or Americano.

Whatever they called the names are.

“Nothing to be worried, chingu. I will help you with your first day here. So, when do you wanna start?”

Taehyun paused for a moment.

“How about today?”

He couldn’t say anything as that boy was the one who gave him the job.

“No problem.”

“Oh, before I forget, what’s your name?”

“Taehyun. Nam Taehyun. You can just call me Taehyun.”

That boy nodded and shook his hands.

“Nice to meet you, Taehyun. And my name is…”

Before he could tell his name, a woman shouted from the kitchen.

“Adeul, come here for a while!”

“Nae, mom!”

He stood up and left to the kitchen.

“We will talk again later!”

Taehyun opened the door with the key that was in his hand.

He turned the doorknob and stepped slowly inside the house.

When he the light, a spacious living room came to sight.

“Woah.”

He was speechless with the single-room apartment that had been given to him.

According to Mr. Kim, this will be his house from the moment he becomes their worker.

But, he didn’t expect it to be such a spacious, cosy house.

“It’s bigger than grandma’s house.”

Out of sudden, his tears rolled down on his cheeks without he realize it.

For Taehyun, everything that he does now reminded him of his late grandma.

He was thankful and thought it will be much better if he could live in the house with his grandma.

But, he could only imagine it.

His grandma was no longer around and he needed to work hard to make her proud.

“I know that you’ll be taking care of me from above.”

He stood by the window and looked up high to the starry night sky.

“If only I could have you with me now.”

Suddenly, a text message came in.

And it was from Mr. Kim.

I hope you will enjoy your time at the new house. Cheers! XOXO

XOXO?

Does he need to include that in the message?

Nevermind.

He was a nice boss though.

He then took his luggage into the room and started to unpack.

There were not so many clothes so it will take him only a few minutes to finish.

Taehyun reached for his backpack and ped it.

At the moment the bag was opened, some packets of potato chips and ramen burst out.

He sighed before picking them up from the floor.

“This happened when I got too many foods to bring along.”

He went to the kitchen with both of his arms were full.

When he opened the fridge to put a jar of kimchi, he was shocked as it was already loaded with foods and fruits.

“They also got me these? I’m so lucky then!”

He smiled before took out a bar of chocolate and unwrapped it.

He then walked into the living room and sat in front of the TV.

“Wow, it was more than enough to survive it here.”

Out of sudden, the doorbell rang.

He was confused and wondering who it might be at this hour.

It was already 10.00 p.m. and he was contemplating to open the door.

“Ya, open this door! It’s me!”

From the voice, he could tell who he was.

Mr. Kim?

But, what is he doing here?
