BITTER

CHANBAEK

you

who is the universe

and my whole world

“One cappuccino, please.”

A deep voice coming from the counter called me, who was concentrating on cleaning up dark coffee drips on the low coffee table, to look back. In that second It's similar to what someone once said. 'There will come a time when you feel like the whole world is stopping' has come true.

I remember you well that day. An oversized coat that to me looks really dated. But it looks insanely good on you. Long jeans Hair that is so messy that it is out of shape Or even the eyes you used to look at me Even a small smile on his face In the small moment we accidentally locked eyes with each other

First cup of coffee

with sweetness in a way that I wasn't expecting

You come here so often that waiting to see you has become part of my daily routine. A soft song was lulled from the throat of the older sister who was now standing at the counter making coffee for other customers. Meanwhile, my small eyes looked out of the store. Along with the palm of his hand that was slowly picking up the coffee cup of the latest customer who had just left.

Pleng!!!

Until all consciousness was jerked back to the real world.

“Is something wrong, Baekhyun?!”

Her older sister's voice of concern rang out as soon as the little coffee cup fell from her hand and hit the shop floor, shattering it into pieces. Her sweet, beautiful face, typical of a woman, leaned forward and looked at me with eyes that couldn't conceal her worry. Seeing that, I had to quickly shake my head and reply so as not to cause anyone to panic further.

“It's okay, I just accidentally slipped it. B..I apologize to all customers."

He apologized and bowed his head repeatedly. Before I decided to squat down to clean up the broken glass on the floor, fearing that it might cause harm to other customers. Without noticing that at this time another person had stepped forward and stood next to each other. Along with a faint aroma that was sweeter than the coffee I'd ever inhaled.

"I'll help you."

Maybe it was because I was a bit shocked. So I was startled so much that I was startled as well. I still remember the deep laughter in your throat. And I remember with crazy clarity how much the lump in my left breast was working hard because of your eyesight. Your short words telling me to be careful still resounded in my mind. or even a short name You carved it into my heart slowly without me knowing.

“My name is Park Chanyeol. Nice to meet you.”

Second cup of coffee

With a new world called you

It's just another evening spent staring at you. As far as we've known each other I'm two years younger than you. But aside from introducing names and asking each other's ages, I didn't dare talk or ask anything more than that. for fear that the damned face would turn redder than ever before Your favorite mellow cappuccino was lifted to your thick lips for the third time.

Before you could put it down on the table again, your eyes shifted to focus on the notebook in front of you.

“Baekhyun, please serve me coffee.”

My sister's voice woke me up from this small world where only you were in it. A small cup of coffee with a saucer on a dark brown tray was handed to him. Before I stepped foot, I followed the table number that my sister had written on the tray. And I can't deny that I let out a slight smile when I found out that it was the table next to the one you were sitting at.

It's good just to be close.

“Latte.”

A small cup of coffee was gently served onto the low table. Before his thin lips gave a polite smile once to the customer. Then turn on your toes and prepare to walk back to your usual seat. But the deep voice that sounded behind him was able to hold both of their toes in place.

“Wait Baekhyun.”

“K..”

I walked back to stand in front of you. while answering in a voice that was shaking with nervousness beyond control.

“Do we work here regularly?”

“Yes, I do it with my sister.”

"elder sister?"

“Um, what kind of person is that?”

The tips of his slender fingers lifted up and pointed at the figure of the person being spoken of, who was cheerfully greeting the new customer. Before I turned around and gave the person in front of me a small smile, I raised my hand and hugged the coffee tray tightly because I didn't know what to do when the heat was starting to take over my face like this. Before finally, your little heart will beat unforgivably fast again when you nod in response. With a smile on your face that makes me willingly fall into the world where only you are.

Without ever wondering about your smile that day.

Third cup of coffee

With the taste that began to change without realizing it

The large clock on the wall pointed to five o'clock. And I'm still waiting, even though it's been nearly an hour past your usual time. Customers who used to sit in the shop Now it has begun to disappear until only a small part remains. Just like the sky where only a little bit of sunlight is left to be seen.

You might come soon.

That thought popped up in my mind for the hundredth time. Even though deep down I had been convincing myself that you might have something to do with it. The last customer rose from his seat and left just as the clock struck five forty-five. And right now, there was still no sign of that tall, slender figure. And it made me start to give up. The brightly colored apron was slowly removed from her waist, as if to delay it for much longer.

And in the end, you are you.

You who never disappoint me

A wide smile spread across your face as soon as your familiar figure appeared in the distance, an oversized coat, jeans, and messy hairstyle. All of this is no different from the day we first met. But the only thing that was strange from that day was probably the big bouquet of flowers that you held in your arms. With a smile on his face that is brighter than ever.

approaching

The door to the shop opened again and you were filled with warmth. His wavy lips curved into a soft smile at me once as his thick palms firmly held the bouquet of flowers. Before the long legs began to walk again

Then he left my body behind without looking back.

Fourth cup of coffee

With the bitterness that slowly builds up on the tip of the tongue

Often times, we humans tend to think only about ourselves. Fascinated by the sight Be mesmerized by the ordinary words that we take to make them special. In spite of the fact Those things may just be normal for someone else.

You who thought you were within reach that day

It turns out you're far away even though we're just this close.

The aroma of fresh flowers filled the small coffee shop which was now deserted and had no bitter taste. Instead, there was only an aura of sweetness that spread throughout the area. You still look good today. But it doesn't exist anymore. That old-fashioned coat Or will it be faded jeans? Even the messy hairstyle

plain colored suit

A well-arranged hairstyle

You are perfect today.

“Let's take a picture quickly, Baekhyun.”

My sister's clear voice called out to me, who was standing still in a corner of the shop, to come closer. And the only thing I could do was force a smile and move into the empty space between the newlyweds. I'm not sure what this feeling inside is. It's like the whole world I created is right in front of me. But after reaching for it like crazy, I could never touch it.

love is never fair

I learned that word today.

Even though my world

There's really only you.

“Smile quickly, Baekhyun.”

The cameraman's voice rang out, causing a small smile to spread across her lips, even as tears were threatening to flow.

Even though my world

It was always you.

No matter the first day we met

yesterday

today

or now

So why?

“Congratulations, brother.”

Your world has never had me in it.

Fifth cup of coffee

With the bitter taste mixed with tears

that you will never know

END.
