[ 25th Day ]

- December 21st.

The second day of December was followed by another snow that fell down from the sky slowly. It was around 9 o'clock, in middle of the night when everyone else was busy going back to their house and be welcomed warmly by their family members.

Chung, on the other side, left his house and walked into the cafe once again.

" Welcome to Cafe Bene! "

The same girl, in the same place, welcomed him in a same way as yesterday.
He smiled and walked to the counter and waited for the girl to come along and take his order.

Chung removed the same knit scarf from his neck. The girl walked to the counter and asked the same question,

" What would you like to order, sir? "

Chung felt a slight hint of dissapointment but he quickly got over it and answered,

" One Vanilla Latte in small, please. "
" That's my - "
" Favorite drink? "

Chung guessed that the girl was about to say 'favorite drink', but he quickly grasped onto it and answered it for her.
The girl stared at Chung with surprise filled in her violet eyes and Chung chuckled. He noticed the name tag on the right side of her chest, which said 'Aisha.'

" How.. How d'you know? "
" Don't remember me? "

Chung said, with a playful voice as he gave off a dissapointed look. But on the other side of the counter, Aisha had no clue what was going on.

" I... I'm sorry! There's so many customers coming in and I don't notice everyone's face. "

Aisha stuttered in nervousness as she stared down with embarssement.
At that moment, another employee that heard his order came next to her and gave Chung his drink.

" Thanks. "

He said, and glanced at Aisha, who was in the same position with her ears turned red. He smiled and walked toward the seat where he always sat. Chung drank a sip of the hot coffee and looked outside the window, which had the same view as yesterday.

" Aisha... "

He murmured under his breath. After few days of visiting this place over and over at the same time, he finally noticed her name.
He was slightly dissapointed that Aisha would never remember himself, but he smiled at the cute side of the girl.

Chung took another sip of the latte and glanced at the counter and noticed that Aisha wasn't there.
In fact, he realized that she was on the far right of the counter, next to a coat rack, which she replaced the place where her coat was with her apron. She zipped up the coat all the way up and bowed to her fellow employees as they said farewell.

Quickly, Chung took his scarf and tied it up around his neck and followed her outside, carrying his coffee.
He noticed her standing in front of the traffic light, waiting the light to turn green from red.

He smiled and walked toward her, purposely making the sound of crunchy noise as he stepped on snow step by step.
But Aisha on the other side, had her head bowed down and did not noticed the sound of Chung's step, as she didn't pay attention.

Chung stood right next to her and any strangers passying by would have a thought of the two being a couple.
They had similar coats on and the difference between their height was considered perfect between lovers.

" Cough cough.. "

Aisha placed her hand over her mouth and coughed quietly, which Chung noticed. Then she noticed a cup of her favorite drink, Vanilla Latte in front of her, held by a hand. She followed the sight of the hand, up to the arm, and up to his face, and noticed it was the customer that ordered Vanilla Latte few minutes ago.

" This might warm up your throat. "

He said as he smiled, which seemed warmer then the coffee he was handing out to her.
Aisha smiled back and said,

" Favorite drink! "

Then she thanked him and took a sip of the coffee as Chung chuckled at the sight of her.
Her two small hands that were tightly wrapped by gloves grabbed onto the coffee with careful motions.
She lifted up the can to make the liquid inside slowly flow into her mouth, and she flinched as the hot coffee touched the tip of her toungue.
She drank a small amount, since this coffee is not her own, and gave it back to Chung.

" That was warm, thank you! "

She gave out a huge smile that was hidden by the puff of her warm breath fog.
Chung grabbed the coffee that she handed out back to him and smiled back.

" I-.. I'm Aisha, by the way! "

Chung was taken by surprise from the sudden introduction that he did not expect at all.
She glanced at him in a nervous yet embarrassed way, but she had the courage to smile.

" Haha- I know.. "
" How'd you know my name?! "
" You have a name tag when you work, you know. "

Chung joked around with her and saw Aisha's face turning red from embarrassment.
She punched her head lightly to tell her self 'I'm an idiot, an idiot!', which she murmured under her breath.

Just at that moment, the traffic light turned green from red.
Chung didn't have to go this way but he didn't want to leave her like this, after they had an actual conversation.
Aisha looked up with surprised and was about to take her leave, but suddenly stopped her feet from moving.
Chung stared at her with wonder filled in his eyes, asking himself, 'What is she doing?'

" Wh.. what's your name? "

She asked, this time, there was no embarrassment filled upon her, she just looked shy.

" Chung. "

He replied quietly, almost as if it was a whisper.

" It was nice to meet you, Chung. I hope to see you again tomorrow! "

She waved brightly and took her leave before the lights turned red.
Chung waved back, although her back was faced him and she wouldn't receive the farewell, but he did not mind at all.
She finally recognized him, and he had an actual conversation with her that was pretty enjoyable.
