I just learned this sentence while studying Japanese, haha. So I'm into it.

If anyone falls into this and accidentally reads it. Thank you very much.

After reading it, how good or bad is it? Like it or not? You can leave a comment. I won't bite, haha.

Because Kim Do Young talks too much. I couldn't stand it and chased it around the room.

Because the teacher came to teach too quickly. So he saw me and Doyoung running in the room.

Because none of the remaining friends said that the teacher had arrived. It made Doyoung and I have to scrub the basketball court even though it wasn't dirty.

Because the field is green That's too broad. causing me to come home late

Because the office workers leave work at the same time. As a result, no buses are free.

And ... because it was rainy season, it rained ...

Taeyong didn't understand why he didn't choose to squeeze in with those salaried employees. If he had returned just 10 minutes earlier, he would have already set the dinner table and watched the evening drama. Large raindrops began to fall more and more frequently. If you keep running until you reach home The important things in the bag were all wet. Uh...

Jung Jae Hyun's biology report that he snatched safely from Do Young's hand. To be used as a resource for study. If it was a mess just because he ran home in the rain I definitely wouldn't have the wisdom to do it again to make amends to my dear friend. The sneakers on the floor were getting wet and he stepped under the eaves of a shop.

Even though there was almost no place to stand to escape the rain. But it was still better than going home. Taeyong rubbed his hands together and blew air into them. It didn't help with the cold much. But it's better than standing alone cursing crazy things. The crazy rain still falls on purpose. It's raining like you're competing for the best rain award for this year's rainy season.

His lips softened and he let out a soft sigh...

Kurung...

Suddenly, the closed door opened softly. But it made the people standing there startled. Taeyong slowly turned to look. Someone was showing his face and smiling.

“Shocking, right? I'm sorry..."

Big eyes staring at a smiling face without looking away. To feel kindness But a stranger is a stranger to Lee Taeyong.

“Come and hide inside first... “

The hand pushed the door wider. Ready to move to let another person inside. But the wet sneakers took a step backwards.

“Uh... I don't...”

“Come in first... It's going to be a long time until the rain stops."

The hands that were still joined together were separated by the hands of the person holding the door. His wet wrist was warm to the touch and a gentle tug. Let's go inside. Then Taeyong came and stood still in the store. The sound of a bell ringing softly Let them know that the door is closed. The warm air in the shop is completely different from outside. The music played softly.

You could barely hear the pounding rain outside. The smell of coffee permeates the shop. Round eyes surveyed the shop briefly. The dark wooden shelves are neatly arranged with books. In the middle of the store there is a small counter. light green tiles In front is a narrow wooden table. As long and as tall as a counter, it stood with a pair of stools.

He swept his eyes and stopped at another person. The person who was tilting his head was staring at his face. The big eyes blinked a couple of times before the other person smiled.

“Sit...”

Taeyong took off the bag he was carrying. Then he sat down on a stool and all the lights in the rest of the store were turned off except in the middle. The owner of the store? (Or not? He wasn't sure.) Walked behind the counter with light green tiles. The stools sat high enough to allow a view behind the counter. There's a strange-looking coffee maker hidden there. It's... uh...

It was almost like some kind of experimental equipment in a chemistry class. Flows into a round glass bottle in the middle. Even if you don't behave properly But Taeyong knew enough to say something to break the heavy air. separated between the counters

“I just found out that this place also sells coffee... “

The person behind the counter raised his eyebrows, a small smile appearing on his face.

“This coffee isn't for sale. Just a little hobby."

In fact, he walked past this store almost every day. This is the only road that goes to the bus stop. A bookstore's atmosphere is quieter than a library like this. It's a place I never thought of coming to. And especially if it's a residential road like this. He couldn't imagine how a store like this could have so many customers. But still, every day that passes by

The sign in front of the store flipped and said:

Open

Always, Taeyong sat and turned the stool and played gently. That older brother (definitely) was busy making coffee. The sky outside grew darker and darker. But the rain hasn't let up yet.

A smoky coffee mug was placed in front of him. The top of the milk foam is decorated in the shape of a cat clinging to the rim of the glass. Taeyong looked at the other's cute pastime. Swap the smiling face (again) of another person.

“One glass per person... “

The older brother behind the counter held another coffee mug. There was no cat on the edge of the glass. It's dark, clear coffee. If you've come this far, if you say you don't drink coffee, what's going to happen? It's rude to a person who generously offers shelter from the rain (which he didn't ask for), but where has a person like Lee Taeyong ever had to cherish someone's kindness?

“Smells good... yes.”

Taeyong put down his glass after taking a long sip. The milk foam had all moved to the edge of the mouth. Gradually thin lips Press it into the place where it should be. I'll just say that it tastes really good. Even though the coffee is diluted with milk a lot. But the bitter taste is still there. The taste of an adult that he couldn't understand.

When I saw another person smile like this, I felt a bit relieved. But can we not stare at each other like this? Big eyes squinted down and looked at the coffee cup. Now that the little cat has disintegrated. before deciding to pick it up and drink it again. Will be able to end the story once and for all. Warm coffee flows slowly down your throat. Even though it's not delicious, it makes you warm. The glass, with only the milk foam, returned to the saucer.

As for the people inside the counter, they still haven't stopped staring at each other. It's... they're not acting right. So I moved my mouth back to smile a little. Another hand reached out since I don't know when. I realized that my thumb was already wiping away the milk foam stains on my mouth. This time, Taeyong acted very inappropriately. He just sat still, blinking his eyes at the other person like that.

"Ah... Sorry, I was a little careless. Here's a napkin."

He immediately picked up the sand-colored paper and wiped his mouth.

"Thank you... Yes, uh... the rain should let up by now. Excuse me..."

while his right hand reached down to pick up the bag below The left hand on the table was loosely held by the right hand of the person in front of him. His right hand suddenly stopped. Let the bag fall back to its original place.

“ ... Go back first... “

His left hand slowly moved away from the right hand of the person in front of him as smoothly as possible, but before long, the hand returned to its original position again. It also exerts more force to squeeze.

"Wait for me to clean the glass and this machine first. Just a moment. I'll send it to you so it doesn't get wet."

Smiling again... Taeyong is annoyed by the smiles that pop up all the time, in every situation, no matter what kind of smile the person in front of him has. He was beginning to feel annoyed.

"... na"

He left a strong squeeze on his left hand and a toothy smile. Before carrying all the equipment, he walked towards the back of the store without waiting for an answer. I want to run away and go home now. Just the pressure on the left hand is still there. Taeyong knew he was annoyed. But I couldn't tell what it was. Feeling this way about things that can't be explained

All I know is that it's definitely because of those smiles. He didn't think he could bear being sent home by someone who just smiled like that. But I couldn't find an excuse to escape that made it reasonable. So I just sat with my bag on my shoulder, turning on the stool and waiting. The only thing I thought of doing from now on That is, I will not set foot in this shop again for the second time.

Soon, the person he hadn't intended to wait for came out from behind the store. Ready to wear a black round neck jacket over a shirt.

"Well... let's go."

Taeyong jumped off the stool. Follow the owner(?) closely. Then I saw the hands of the person in front reach out and pick up two large black umbrellas from the woven basket next to the door.

Wait... There are many umbrellas here. Why didn't you give us an umbrella in the first place?

Shouting quietly in my heart But it went well. until past the shop door Wait for the other party to lock things in order.

"Uh... The rain has stopped. We'll, er... I'd rather borrow an umbrella and go back myself."

Slender fingers reached out and grabbed an umbrella that the other person was holding. But the other party turned away. Ready to send a mischievous smile back, holding each other like that like children. Taeyong gave up and let go. The owner of the two umbrellas opened one and handed it to him. Then he opened another umbrella for himself to hold. The hands that used to fight for umbrellas are still there. Confused, he handed it over to receive.

The other hand was immediately pulled to follow. Again, that warm hand held his hand again. Before he could shake himself off, he walked up to a small white pickup truck. On the side is a bookstore logo. The big, eye-catching “Goose's Dream” A small but warm hand pulled it all the way to the driver's seat. Then I went to open the car door. He stood still holding the umbrella for a while.

Until the other party reached out and grabbed the handle of the umbrella over his hand. Taeyong quickly removed his hand from the umbrella and sat in the driver's seat. He was slightly startled when the door next to him slammed shut. and was startled again when the door on the other side opened. Actually, he was not easily frightened like this. Today, there must be something really unusual.

Big eyes glanced at the person behind the wheel wearing a seat belt. Then I realized that I had to expect the same. Expect it before those warm little hands reach out and do something else. As the car started, Taeyong secretly let out a sigh of relief. The long car slowly Swiftly backing out of the parking lot, the person next to me

Probably drive it often.

“By the way, where is our house? “

“Ah... five alleys further on. The alley before reaching the intersection with a large electric pole.

“Oh... Soi Ban Mokpo, just a little closer.”

Mokpo's house is opposite my house. Mokpo is a large Shamoy dog ​​with long, fluffy white fur. If you try to go out for a walk Everyone who walks by will be jumped and hugged until their hair grows into their mouths.

“We... er, I told you I could walk by myself.”

“Haha... I'll send it right away.”

When the car pulled into the alley, it stopped next to the door of the house. The rain that used to fall heavily is now just drizzle. Slender fingers unbuckle the seat belt, look at the person next to you, smile and wave at them. He lowered his head slightly.

“Thank you for sending... Yes.”

“If you're not good at speaking politely next time, You can say it the way you're good at."

Taeyong shook his head slightly. In my heart I thought that there shouldn't be a next time or any other time. Push the door open with force. Bow your head again Then close the door immediately He stepped forward and stood next to the eaves of his own house. Wait for the pickup truck to start up and drive away.

Taeyong couldn't sleep tonight. Big eyes stared at the strange, familiar pattern on the ceiling. Patterns created by outside light coming in through the window. It must be because of that crazy cat coffee that makes people fall asleep as a hobby like they don't sleep yet. Coffee that is bitter but warm when eaten The brewing hand is warm. The smile of the person who makes coffee as a hobby is warm... What is it?

How could such a crazy idea pop into his head? Taeyong shook his head to get rid of the distraction. There's still a lot of homework waiting for tomorrow. Why must we find a way to get revenge on Kim Doyoung? There was a sound of turning around on the bed a few times and the person on top fell asleep...

P.S. This is Taeil's coffee maker.

Ah...in this story, is it Taeil? It can't be like this.

Even though I won't mention his name, it's Taeil. Haha.

It's finished...

Let's just say we're still confused. With myself, something like that.

The only thing I know is this pair of chips, haha.

I really want to post a fic, but I can't think of anything. I'm confused.

If you want to comment You can do it as you please.

Let's say that if this story has 5 people commenting (let's say we don't know each other)

(Or if you want me to break up, you can tell me, haha.)

We will continue writing this story. If not, let's just end it like this.

(However, we will try to make this pair again. There must be a tight plot. like Jaehyun's hair)

Finally, just thinking about reading makes me happy.

Thank you.
