chapter 29

" I don't think you just like him." She said. " I think you are starting to love him. You are falling for him."" No, no, no." I shake my head violently." That's impossible."" You are falling for him and you are unaware of it." She says in a low voice before sipping from her mug, foamy milk staining her upper lip.Am I falling in love with Yoongi?Is that why I'm always eager to make him happy? Is that why I'm always worried about him? Is that why I always want to make sure that he's okay? Is that why I always want to make sure that he had proper meals? Do I love Yoongi?Is that why I cannot stop thinking about him, no matter how much I try?Minho comes from the back room with a rag and a spray bottle in his hands. "So, when can you start?" " Oh, uhm." I say, finding my sense kicking back into me. " As soon as possible."" Great." He says, smiling to both Yuri and me. " I'll see you tomorrow then..."As Yuri and I both walked out of the coffee shop, the thought didn't go away. Can Yuri possibly be right?Is it possible that I'd fall for him?I shut my eyes and felt the cold wind brush my face as Yuri pushes the glass door open, my mind still confused at what Yuri pointed out.Me.Me falling for someone.Let alone someone.Me falling for Min Yoongi?That's not possible....But maybe.I really am.I really am falling for him.•••" Oh, Dara-ah!" Minho waves his hand from behind the counter full of pastries with different shapes and sizes." Hello!" I bowed as I rubbed my feet down on the rag. The rain that was pouring outside had stained my school shoes. I close the sky blue umbrella and shake off the extra droplets of water. There was barely anyone inside the coffee shop. There was a couple at the end of the room , taking pictures together. Another was a group of girls who seemed like were on a brake from work.I make my way to the counter, hugging my books I brought home with me, close to my chest." Ready to start your first day?" Minho asked, washing his hands in the sink just beside the espresso machine. " Yes! I'm excited." I say politely.Minho goes to the back room and comes out with a set of brown t-shirt and slacks , as well as a white apron. " Put these on. You can use the back room to get changed."" Thank you." I bow as I take the garments from him. I enter the back room and saw a set of lockers on one side, and then three wooden benches placed strategically to fit in the tiny room. A plastic drawer is also placed at a corner in the room, from which I guess Minho got this uniform from.Before I could shut the door, and get changed, Minho pops his head through the tiny crack left open at the door with a grin on his face. " Don't wear the apron too tightly or else I wouldn't be able to focus on my job."What the hell.He sticks his head out of the crack and closes the door shut.What does that even mean? Is that what Yuri meant when she warned him? I knew he was a flirt, but I guess, he is kind of a pervert too.I shook the thought away and got changed into the uniform,. making a loose knot at the back of the apron.•••" How do I put the foamed milk? Should I just pour it?"I asked Minho who was busy in preparing an americano on the other side of the counter. I held the handle of the metal cup in which foam milk is, while the cup of espresso was resting peacefully on front of me.He looks at me, and then walks to me. To my surprise, he did not stood beside me, instead he stood behind me. I could feel and hear his faint breathing on my right ear, making me shift uncomfortably.And then, he holds my hand which is holding the metal cup. He's so close to me that I can feel his chest touching my back. He lifts up my hand with his, then pours the milk into the cup of espresso, shaking my hands lightly." Easy. Right?" He whispers, as the milk fills up to the top of the cup.I let go of the cup and set it aside,.Minho finally letting go of my hand.He steps beside me and I move back away farther from him.Why do I feel like my personal space has been invaded?" I'll finish that up. You give the americano to the customer."" Okay." I say almost too immediately, desperate to get away from his space. "Medium Americano." I say aloud to the customers waiting by the counter.But as I try to put a lid onto the plastic cup, I accidentally pressed it hard enough that it tumbled down, spreading the ice and all of its contents onto the counter. Not later than that, it drips onto the floor. Not to mention, but the face was customer was giving a rather annoying look and an unpleasant reaction." Get a towel." Minho whispers as he hurriedly appears behind me." I'm sorry." I say, not tok sure what to say next." Just get a towel." He says again, his usual playful smile not present on his face anymore.As I rush to the backroom to get towels, I couldn't hear anything except Minho apologizing to the customer.•••" Thank you for today." I say bowing at him. " I'm do sorry about the ame-"" Don't mention it." He says with a smile, sweeping the floors. " I know you will be better with more training."" I'll try my best next time!" I promised him with an eager look." Take some coffee with you." He says, putting the broom stick on the side. He takes a plastic cup from the counter, light smoke coming out from it. " Here."He gives it to me and I take it with both of my hands. The warmth instantly made my hands feel comfortable." What is it?" I ask, taking a sip.It tasted sweet and bitter at the same time, with a little taste of caramel afterwards." Caramel Macchiato!" We say at the same time." I figured it was your favourite."" It is." I smile. " Thank you so much."I take my stuff and proceed walking out of the store, the coffee shop is now empty. I look back at him and wave a goodbye as I hold onto the handle of the door." Take care." He waves back. " I wanna see you in barrista uniform again, so..."Seriously?I bowed my head as I forced a smile and went outside. It wasn't raining but it was cold.My first day at work was pretty okay, I guess. Minho was showing that he is a flirt, and somewhat a maniac , but I'm the end, I think he still is a very descent boss considering the fact that he did not chew me out about the ' americano ' incident a while ago. He even gave me coffee on my way back home. And it was my favourite.I just hope his attitude of being a pervert doesn't get worse...•••
