(Kiyong puffed up his cheeks, regretting the fact he hadn’t chosen a seat that looked straight to the counter, quickly he got up sitting on the opposite so he faced the counter. With a satisfied smile, he slowly lifted his gaze and curiously watched the girl work, often looking away so it didn’t seem like he had been obviously watching her. The phone in his pocket beeped, he bit his lower lip ignoring it but instead the beeping continued. He only bothered to check his messages, when a couple of people turned his way, obviously bothered by his ringtone.)

I’m sorry, I’ll change it to silence ..
(He whispered to nobody in particular and quickly took out the phone placing it on the table. A frown came across his lips as he saw the contact’s name, growling under his breath at his friend’s spamming. The messages were nothing amusing, it was just pictures of kittens as per usual, so Kiyong did what he always did. He began to type gibberish, the typing was halted when he heard footsteps once more. Turning the phone over onto the table, he attempted a smile at the girl, cheeks turning crimson yet again, he had just started to relax. )

Thank you. Thank you for the chocolate soup..hot chocolate I mean. And …that..yes I will ring you. I mean call you..yeah..thank you
(The words coming out of his mouth were all wrong, watching her leave he sighed shaking his head as he pulled the cup of hot chocolate closer to him. He hated himself for being such an idiot, hated how his mouth wasn’t coperaring with him, with his gaze on the table, he turned his phone and quickly began to message his friend whining about how much of an awful day it was turning out to be for him.)

[’ Tina thought everything was cute yet strange when he replied her in a stumble of words and when her back faced him, she slightly laughed at the way he replied her, but she didn’t give much thought afterwards and only thought that he was shy because it was his first time here or that he was eager to meet someone he liked. Years of working in the store, she had never once met an admirer or a lover. And if she did, it was always outside the store and the relationship wouldn’t last long.

As she continued to work in her own little world. Customers began to dwindle down as it neared closing hours. Tina left her workers to work with the rest of the customers as she took the seat at her usual place: the window seat at a corner. The window seat provided a expanse view of the streets that she always liked to twirl her thoughts around at this hour while cupping her warm lavender tea. Her legs tucked underneath her into a seemingly fetal position as if the store was her own home. At times, she would fall asleep in that position when the day’s work caught up with her. Curious, she glanced at the young male and wondered if he had found someone he liked, she wished he did – to Tina, he seemed like a pretty decent guy ]

❝不愉快です. // How unpleasant.

Tina watched the time pass bit by bit, customers come and go, and every story unfold. She remembered the strong, unwavering love her parents had for each other. She remembered their love as clear as the clear sky, but she couldn’t understand it. She couldn’t understand how they could love each other so much despite all their flaws. Tina had witnessed many unpleasant aspects of love; yet, when she recollected her memories, she remembered the laughters and innumerable stories that only her parents knew, like a shared secret between the both of them that Tina had no part of.

However, life wasn’t kind and laughters didn’t last long. When her parents passed away due to a unfortunate accident, they had left the cafe shop they had built together to her as a reminder that Tina would one day find someone, no matter how long she had to wait. Hence, the name: Café. Waiting. Love, was born. Of course, Tina didn’t believe in what her parents had said to her. However, they were words she took to heart. Tina’s mother was originally from an affluent family. However, her mother was chased out from her own family and removed from her family register due to her love for Tina’s father. If Tina could say so herself, it was the classic Romeo and Juliet. The only difference in the two stories was that a child was born. Tina was born out of love.

Tina was normal, regular and enjoyed chatting with customers while watching busy walkers take hurried steps to reach to their destinations as she sat by the window sill with her head leaned against the clean glass. Regardless of her past, Tina had witnessed the miracles of the cafe. It was as if her parent’s love had permeated and placed a special love charm on the people who walked into the cafe. She had witnessed first- time customers go from lonely singles into committed lovers in a coincidental meeting of another partner in the cafe. Ironically, she still had not met her faithful partner. Did it bother her? Not one bit, but she always found a indescribable joy when she was able to help a lonely person find an anchor, a support. After awhile, she noticed how the city is filled with isolation and empty dreams, Sometimes, instead of returning to her apartment, Tina would fall asleep in the cafe. It was just as if she lives in the cafe.

❝THE CAFE? — //

每一個人，都在等一個人. Everyone is waiting for that someone. This is what the cafe is about. It is for the people out there who are looking for that special someone. It is for those people out there who just needs a place to pass time, and fill in the emptiness they may feel from the coldness of society with a warm cup of coffee.
